Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudo! Wanna co-host this surveillance event?

by David Keenan

Hi all.. I know there hasn't been much activity on this thread, but I was wondering if I could up the ante. Because sometimes, life's just like that. Would we (sudo) be willing to entirely host this event? Without BAPS.. I ask because the event's organizers would really like for there to be a simple donation box somewhere off to the side in the space, for folks to be able to donate directly at the event. This money would go to Oakland's Anti-Repression Committee and National Lawyer Guild's Legal Workers (the non-lawyer workforce part of the NLG). Within BAPS, there has emerged some reservation amongst organizers that having any other group (that is not BAPS) accept donations at an event BAPS hosts, might abrogate our statement of financial principles that there be no solicitation at the event. There's a confusion here that can't work itself out until our next general meeting at the earliest, which isn't for a while, and in the meantime.. the event needs to be promoted and have a home that is assured. So having Sudo solely host this event instead of BAPS, would solve a real headache for us. Are we down for this? I've already set the speakers and logistics up.. we just need a home, and hopefully, be able to put it on Sudo's facebook. alla best, David On Sun, Feb 2, 2014 at 3:05 PM, johanna faust <female.faust(a)gmail.com>wrote: > i agree awesome idea. and second the mention. keenly watching this > thread. > > On 2/2/14, David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Jeremy - Of course!

ml class feb 13 (Thurs): Bayesian Inference for everyone: The (Best) Probability of Causes

by Sam Tepper

Join us for a night of statistics and machine learning for all levels of skill and comfort at the fabled hacker heritage site in SF, Noisebridge. Bayes rule "cracked the Enigma code, hunted down Russian submarines, and emerged...from two centuries of controversy"! Bayesian inference is about how to use Bayes rule (and its generalizations) to make decisions and conduct optimal rational inquiry. We'll be looking at data sets of your choice. Add you info here <https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Machine_Learning&action=edit&sectio…> or contact Mike <cubicgoats(a)gmail.com> if you want to add your data set to our git repository, and discuss/collaborate on your data for the class. I may also provide data I've acquired from some interesting external sources. If you're using Bayesian statistics or would like to use Bayesian statistics on your own, we will also talk about best practices and powerful tools that everyone can use (such as may be found in some Python libraries and AI algorithms). Class starts at 6:30 (7 sharp). Please bring food, beer, and/or good cheer. -Sam

laptop swap

by "Løng$hanks"

Greetings, Tony here, visitor to SR several times now, most recently this Wednesday night + Thursday morning. Wednesday evening (Jan. 29) in the vicinity of 530pm (PST) I swapped my unworking Dell Latitude D531 laptop for an even older, yet reportedly functional Dell laptop with a gentleman whose name I was told, & promptly forgot. I wanted to inquire, since I was unable to come back to SR Wednesday night after my Spanish class as I had originally promised, whether said gentleman was able to get the D531 working, & also to let him know that I left a dock intended for use with said laptop in the Sudo Room closet Thursday afternoon. Or, rather my friend Carl left it there as I had to leave that morning before anyone w/ a key arrived to open the back hack-chamber. Please feel free to get in touch with me at this e-address (longshanks(a)spaz.org). Thanks & congrats on the great space-in-progress! T. -- Løng$h@nk$ Not all who wander are lost.

recreation of the Hungarian Bubble Sort Folk Dance

by Romy Ilano

At some point when I am able to walk again we have to recreate this amazing Hungarian Bubble Sort Folk Dance during a SudoRoom meeting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyZQPjUT5B4 WE MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. I'm sure the biohacking people could also suggest creative dance performances simluating mitosis, meiosis in a way that is not sexually offensive and PG-13 for children to watch too. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

mchawking brain-control round 3

by Steve Castellotti

Hello all- Is anyone interested in more brain-control hacking on McHawking (or wheelchairs in general) on February 22nd? Emotiv is hosting a hackathon specifically for EEG control of wheelchair, to benefit a young man in Malaysia, named Albert Wong. Venture Beat has even covered it: http://venturebeat.com/2014/01/20/wearables-with-a-purpose-emotiv-rallies-t… We've been getting contacted a few times about it and are hoping to attend. I did the original hack with Jake back in 2010 at Noisebridge: http://www.instructables.com/id/Brain-Controlled-Wheelchair/ And of course followed up this past August when McHawking was moved to Sudo Room. Here's the wiki page: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/McHawking_Robot_Hacking I'd be curious if anyone else would like to attend and collaborate. I guess the second (and bigger) question though would be how would people feel about loaning out McHawking for the day? It looks like the event is being held at 875 Howard Street: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/designathon-for-the-emotiv-insight-wearable-eeg… Anyway that decision is of course up to members and I wouldn't feel comfortable unless at least one member was in attendance too! I'd be willing to spring for a van rental (or whatever was necessary for transport, BART might even be possible if the batteries are up to the distance). Curious to hear everyone's thoughts and feedback. Cheers Steve Castellotti
