I'm a former senior theoretical particle physicist at the California Institute of Technology,
focusing on string theory and its alter ego M-theory. I held this position for three-and-a-half years
and then promoted to junior professor in order to change my field of study to dark matter,
with the stipulation that i'd teach a graduate-level class on analytical mechanics.
For my contributions to theoretical physics,I won a Caltech Chancellor's Award for Science.
After focusing for many years in string theory and practical physics, I pivoted to the dark matter field.
Lately i worked with my girlfriend Amy on a a Super-Asymmetry for string theory which was published and widely applauded.
in 2019 we won the noble Prizes in Physics for the development of Super Asymmetry.
Can say without a doubt that it was my happiest moment ever.


STARGATE A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
According to many critics and movie aficionados, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich are the worst thing that happened to science fiction cinema in 1990s. This widespread animosity towards Devlin-Emmerich duo can be partially explained with the quality of their work in the past decade. However, the real reason for such animosity lies less in the quality of their movies and more in the massive hype that preceded them and ensured huge disappointments among their future audience. Taken by their own merit and without hype, those films can be seen not only as passable, but also sometimes a very good entertainment. One of such examples is STARGATE, 1994 science fiction spectacle by Roland Emmerich, often heralded "the best science fiction film since STAR WARS".
The plot of this film begins in Egypt 1928 when the group of Norwegian archaeologists digs out huge stone artefact with strange, indecipherable hieroglyphs. Many decades later, the artefact is in possession of US Air Force. Dr. Daniel Jackson (played by James Spader), young and unconventional Egyptologist, is called to decipher those hieroglyphs. To the utter surprise of everybody, he manages to decipher those symbols and finds that the artefact represents Stargate - trandimensional portal that leads to distant planet millions of light years away. US Air Force quickly assembles expedition led by Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill (played by Kurt Russell).
All those who succumbed to hype in 1994 and expected another masterpiece like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY have all the reasons to feel disappointed. STARGATE could hardly be seen as an example of creative geniuses at work. Director Emmerich and Dean Devlin (who co-wrote the script) had wonderful idea, as well as huge budget and numerous talents at their disposal. Despite all of that the best they could do was space opera filled with every possible cliche (including alien world modelled on Earth's deserts, something which is more expected in SF films with much lower budget) and numerous plot holes. However, all those flaws can be forgiven for one reason - unlike almost all the other SF films in 1990s, STARGATE can induce the sense of wonder among the audience. First part of the film manages to arouse viewers' curiosity with the promises of strange new worlds on the Other Side. Unlike most of the other science fiction films that use genre only as an excuse to make standard horrors, dramas or action films, STARGATE returns to the roots of science fiction - pure adventure and tales of wondrous lost cities, civilisations and continents. Resurrection of this more innocent, almost infantile yet purer approach to the science fiction is probably the most important legacy of STARGATE.
Lack of Devlin's and Emmerich's script-writing talents was fortunately compensated with the talents among cast and crew. James Spader is great as Lennon-like scientist, while Russell makes represents great contrast to him as no-nonsense military professional. Jaye Davidson, on the other hand, wasn't very convincing as evil alien, although he tried very hard to avoid typecasting after his memorable CRYING GAME role. Production design, costumes and special effects are superb and they all make the alien world very convincing. Musical soundtrack by David Arnold is very good and it features one of the rare 1990s film themes that managed to stick in popular memory.
Finally, STARGATE had flaws yet it managed to overcome them by being reincarnated in another medium. Being the basis for awarded television series is just another reason why this film shouldn't have the same reputation as its unjustifiably criticised creators.

Serves 2
Fresh crab topped with a rarebit cheese sauce and served with freshly made chips.
Open the crabs, remove all the white and brown meat and place in a bowl. Feel for any small pieces of broken shell and remove from the meat. Wash the main shells of the crabs thoroughly and pat dry using kitchen paper.
Use a fork to gently mash together the brown and white crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper and spoon the crabmeat back into the clean shells.
To make the rarebit sauce, place the cheese and milk into a small saucepan and heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it catching, until the cheese is melted. Add the breadcrumbs and flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring all the time to prevent any lumps forming.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Add the Worcestershire sauce, whole egg, egg yolk and the mustard powder. Mix thoroughly and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside while you make the fries.
Preheat the deep-fat fryer to 180C. (CAUTION: hot fat can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Drop the fries into the hot fat and cook for 3 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Drain on kitchen roll and season with salt.
For the crab rarebit, preheat the grill to high.
Place the filled crab shells on a baking tray. Spoon the rarebit sauce over the top of the crabmeat. Drizzle a little melted butter over the top and place under the hot grill for a few minutes until the rarebit is bubbling and golden-brown.
When ready to serve, dress the Little Gem leaves with the olive oil and lemon juice.
Serve the crab rarebit in the shells with the salad and fries alongside.

We've recently added email notifications to our application. I really wanted to avoid configuring email servers or setting up email accounts to test our software. Luckily there are a number of tools to help with this for development, and testing.
We're using .Net so we can configure our application to send all SMTP to a file directory. This can be done in the application configuration file with the below snippet;
<system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory"> <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="c:\temp\mailbox\"/> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net>
Our acceptance tests relied on this mechanism to redirect SMTP traffic to the file system. We then had an interface in our automation framework to parse these files so we could easily check the contents.
For manual testing we wanted to avoid having to change the application configuration so looked for a simple way of setting up SMTP.
We decided to use an SMTP fake. There are a few open source project for this. Two examples are SMTP4Dev and PaperCut.
I use SMTP4Dev simply because I've used it before but will try papercut when I get some time.
This is the only time we needed to have a real SMTP server configured. For this we have a Dogfood environment that our operations department takes care of. Taking this approach completely removed the need to become experts in configuring email servers to test sending emails.

Chapter 9 The plot() Function
9.1 Key Concepts
Mastering a few arguments in the plot() function allows for a lot of customization.
plot(
x=fertilizer, # data, if x is omitted then uses 1:length(y)
y=corn.height,
xlim=c(0,100), # min and max value of axes
ylim=c(200,350),
frame.plot=FALSE, # draw a box around the data?
col="steel blue", # color of the points
type="b", # points="p", lines="l", both="b", or none="n"
pch=19, # shape of points to plot
cex=2, # size of points
main="Plot Title", # title of your plot
xlab="Label for X", # axes labels
ylab="Label for Y",
cex.lab=1.5 # aspect ratio for axes labels
)
9.2 plot() Arguments
This lecture is a brief introduction to the plot() function in R, the work horse of the graphics package. We will introduce the flexibility of the fully-customizable graphics engine in R through the demonstration of some useful arguments.
To demonstrate these arguments we will use a simple dataset from a hypothetical farming experiment that examines the relationship between levels of new fertilizer under development and the height of the corn. To identify the optimal dosage of fertilizer to use, the experiment applies different levels to separate fields of corn, then measures the average final corn height at each dosage. The fields are scattered across three farms, and “moisture” represents the average Volumetric Water Content of the soil in each field.
You can load it as follows:
| fertilizer | corn.height | moisture | farm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 269 | 0.8 | B |
| 2 | 250 | 0.67 | A |
| 3 | 253 | 0.48 | A |
| 4 | 276 | 0.39 | B |
| 5 | 316 | 0.7 | A |
| 6 | 247 | 0.8 | A |
The default plot() function requires an x-variable and y-variable and will create a scatterplot, adding axes and a title:
Ok, so let’s improve upon this a bit. You can use the following arguments to customize the plot:
9.3 Titles
We can add better labels and a title with xlab=, ylab=, and main=.
plot(
x=fertilizer, y=corn.height,
xlab="Fertilizer (mg)",
ylab="Corn Height (cm)",
main="Relationship Between Fertilizer Intensity and Corn Growth"
)
We can also change their size with cex.lab= to control the size of the axes labels, and cex.main= to control the size of the title.
Note that all of the cex arguments are aspect ratios, meaning that the default value of 1 represents 100% and all other argument values are in relation to this default. A value of 2 means to increase the title to 200% of the size, an argument of 0.5 shrinks the title to half the original size.
9.4 Type of Plot
We can plot points, lines, or some combination of lines and points using the type= argument:
- “l” for lines
- “p” for points
- “b” for both points and lines
- “o” plots lines over points
- “n” for no lines or points
9.5 Shape of Points
The argument pch determines the shape of the plot points. The numeric values 0 to 25 represent different default shapes. We can also use any number, letter, or symbol as a plotting shape.
Note that shapes 0 to 14 are hollow, 15 to 20 are solid, and 21 to 25 can also plot a background color specified by the bg= argument.
9.6 Size of Points
We change the size of points using the cex= argument (pronounced “chex”). Similar to the title cex, it is an aspect ratio so cex=2 increases the size of the plotting points to 200% of the original, and cex=0.5 scales the size down to half of the original size.
plot(
x=fertilizer, y=corn.height,
col="darkgoldenrod2",
pch=19,
cex=2, # scale points to 200% normal size
xlab="", ylab="", las=1,
main="cex=2", cex.main=2,
frame.plot=FALSE
)
The cex= argument is also useful for incorporating a third numeric variable into the analysis. For example, perhaps we want to include the average moisture levels of the soil for each field. When we use a numeric vector like this with the cex= argument, instead of a single constant, the plot will adjust the size of observation based upon its measured moisture level. Since moisture values are between 0 and 1, I have scaled them by 3 to ensure the points are large enough to see.
9.7 Colors
The argument col= determines the color of plot points. To see a list of preset options check out:
List of default named colors in R
plot(
x=fertilizer, y=corn.height,
col="darkgoldenrod2", pch=19, cex=2,
xlab="Fertilizer (mg)",
ylab="Corn Height (cm)",
main="Relationship Between Fertilizer Intensity and Corn Growth",
frame.plot=FALSE
)
In the example above we specified a single color for all of our corn heights. If we want to incorporate a third categorical variable in our analysis, we can use a factor in our dataset as the value we pass to the col= argument. For example, perhaps we want to indicate which farm each field belongs to in the graph.
plot(
x=fertilizer, y=corn.height,
pch=19, cex=2,
col=farm,
xlab="Fertilizer (mg)",
ylab="Corn Height (cm)",
main="Relationship Between Fertilizer Intensity and Corn Growth",
frame.plot=FALSE
)
Note that “farms” has to be a factor in order to use it in the col= argument. In this example, the farms have labels of “A” to “C”.
You might be curious how R selected the colors for the three farms. The palette() function will print the default values that R uses for categorical variables:
You can see that the first three are the colors used in the graph above. Since there are only 8 default values, if your categorical variable has more than 8 levels it will start to recycle colors.
Perhaps you don’t like the default values. You can select your own by passing color names to the palette() function as follows:
9.8 Looking Ahead
In the next section, we will add some lines, points, and text to the plot.
We can add lines to highlight trends (a regression is just the average of Y at each level of X).
plot(
x=fertilizer, y=corn.height,
xlab="Fertilizer (mg)",
ylab="Corn Height (cm)",
main="Relationship Between Fertilizer Intensity and Corn Growth",
pch=19,
col="gray",
cex=2,
bty="n"
)
lines( lowess( fertilizer, corn.height ), col="darkgoldenrod2", lwd=4 )
In order to add narrative to your graphs, you can add points and text.
The points() function operates with basically the same parameters as the plot() function. The text() function uses the same X and Y coordinates, but you also have to add an argument for the text that you want added to the plot.
Let’s highlight the tallest corn stalk as an example.


New NTSB report in fatal crash involving self-driving car
PHOENIX (AP) - A new federal report into last year’s fatal crash involving a self-driving car in suburban Phoenix says the Uber vehicle couldn’t anticipate the actions of jaywalkers.
The National Transportation Safety Board report also says the SUV wasn’t designed to slam on the brakes to reduce the severity of an unavoidable accident.
A 49-year-old woman was killed in the March 2018 crash while pushing a bicycle across a dark Tempe street.
It was the first fatality in the country involving a self-driving vehicle.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office hasn’t decided whether to file charges against the driver.
According to the Arizona Republic, the NTSB released more than 400 pages of documents this week ahead of a Nov. 19 meeting during which the board will discuss the probable cause of the crash.

THE LEGEND OF 1900 (1998)
"You're alright as long as you've got a good story and someone to tell it to."
3 out of ****
Starring Tim Roth, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Bill Nunn, Mélanie Thierry; Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore; Written by Tornatore & Alessandro Baricco, from a novel by Baricco; Cinematography by Lajos Koltai
The 1900 of the title refers, of course, to the year, but also to a man: Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon 1900. His strange name can be explained. He was found as an infant on board a cruise ship called The Virginian by a man named Danny Boodmann; he was in a "T.D. Lemon" box at the time; and the year 1900 had just begun. He was named and raised by Boodmann in the boiler room of The Virginian, never setting foot on land as the vessel cruised from Europe to America, back and forth and back again. He grows up to become a piano prodigy, and is played by Tim Roth as a mild-mannered, pleasant, charmingly eccentric man, who seems slightly removed from the world. He approaches life at a different angle.
As is obvious, verisimilitude is not the intention here. The movie is based on a novel by Alessandro Baricco, best known to English-speaking readers for his novel "Silk," which treated its characters in a similar manner, as people whose lives are shaped by stories larger than they are. Both THE LEGEND OF 1900 and "Silk" show the influence of the Latin American magic realist novelists, who spin equally grand and improbable tales, featuring equally colourful, larger-than-life characters. They give us tales which hover on the boundaries of the possible and return a sense of the marvellous to a world dearly in need of it.
We learn about 1900 in a series of flashbacks. The frame narrative features Max Tooney (Pruitt Taylor Vince in a slightly twitchy, overwrought performance), a trumpeter who played with 1900 for years and was his closest friend. During the course of the film, Max tells parts of 1900's story to several people, relating his life aboard The Virginian. Max's reminiscences are sparked by the discovery of a rare recording of 1900's music and fuelled by the knowledge that The Virginian, now a derelict, is about to be destroyed by the port authorities and committed to the ocean floor.
While the movie is first and foremost a story, a tall tale, a legend, it lacks the steady narrative momentum which it needs to contain and direct its ambitions. Using Max as the focus seems an awkward and transparent method of preventing the film from unravelling, of holding it together during its shambling progress from one set-piece to the next.
The set-pieces, though, are wonderful. The best of all is a "piano duel" between 1900 and Jelly Roll Morton (Clarence Williams III), who comes on board calling himself the "creator of jazz," determined to demonstrate his superiority to the upstart prodigy. They square off in the ship's crowded ballroom, before an expectant audience composed of crew, passengers, and eager journalists. The two pianists take turns playing their tunes. Director Giuseppe Tornatore (CINEMA PARADISO) handles it magnificently, delighting us with Jelly Roll's provocative braggadocio, disarming us with 1900's initial refusal to indulge in the game of oneupmanship, rousing us as we sense that a final dramatic flourish is coming. The "duel" ends with an inspired gesture which is a superb piece of grandstanding showmanship on the part of both 1900 and Tornatore.
The entire sequence is so good that the audience at the World Film Festival screening I attended burst into spontaneous applause, as if we had just witnessed a virtuoso jazz solo, and, indeed, the movie is perhaps best appreciated in the way one appreciates a jazz show. The story of 1900 and Max is the theme to which the players return, while the set-pieces are solos by great performers, taking the basic materials and reinventing them, occasionally fashioning something awesome out of them. The ensemble may not be jumping the whole night, but the show provides some dynamic and captivating moments.
The first meeting between Max and 1900 is one such moment. It takes place during a stormy night on the ocean, with the ship lurching violently from side to side, and we are treated to the sight of the two men seated at a grand piano as it zig-zags wildly across the huge floor of the dark, empty ballroom. The mood of camaraderie and whimsy is magical. The friends' last meeting is another great scene. It takes place, again, on The Virginian, after the Second World War. The ship is a rusted decaying hulk. Max and 1900 sit in the heart of the vessel's ruined splendour, in the remnants of 1900's whole world, and movingly tell each other about the course of their lives.
Despite all these moments, THE LEGEND OF 1900 is a story which loses track of itself. It forgets what it wants to say. The fact that 1900 is born at the dawn of the century is surely significant; his enclosed world of music and eternal movement perhaps serves as a counterpoint to the industrialization-run-amok nightmares of the twentieth century as it grinds to a halt. Or perhaps 1900 is a kind of antihero, and his refusal to confront the world is intended as an injunction to us: you cannot taste the fullness of life if you are unwilling to risk its poisons. The movie can't seem to decide what 1900 is. Like 1900 himself, it sails from shore to shore, from meaning to meaning, without ever settling down. But the voyage sure isn't dull.

I've used Datura (long time ago, not worth it), weed (of course), shrooms, dxm (before I knew about ketamine, hehehe) and many other things.
Last night was pretty crazy. I am not on any medication, but I rock the ganja every day.  I found my brother's inhaler.
1:10-Took 7 puffs, held it in for a while. I was lying in my bed at the time. I started hearing a rhythm with a piano, and realized that the rhythm was my heartbeat. My heart was beating hard, making a rhythm in my body. I could feel the rhythm.
1:11-Up the dosage to 10 puffs. I feel the initial rush, and it is considerably stronger. Same basic thing, just a stronger head rush.
1:12-13 puffs in the bank. I tell myself that this is the last session, but it feels crazy good.
11:15-I didn't keep track of how many inhales I took this time. Must have been 25 or 30. I held it in for a good amount of time.  My heart was beating out of my chest, giant purple and green rings were covering my walls, and I could hear, feel, see, and taste the rush flowing through my body. Tasted almost marshmallowy, very creamy.
I repeated this a few more times, but not with the same intensity, so I called it quits. My stomach was starting to hurt anyway. I noticed it made music sound very strange, made it sound like it was coming out of a shitty old boom box. It was kinda cool. I never experienced such a head rush. I was laughing just for the sake of hearing myself laugh. My voice sounded foreign.
Upsides: Short lived, intense, cheap and easy to get.
Downsides: Nausea, and this morning I woke up shaking like Ozzy. This is crazy. My body is in constant spastic motion, especially my hands. Hope I haven't done any permanent damage.
It is now noon, and I am shaking less. I bet this will go away.

Download the .dmg file and move the app to the Application folder again.
Or do it latter.
Sorry for making you download this dmg again :(
Since the app is a personal initiative,
I don't have the money to make the update the way you're probably used to.
Thanks for updating Spotify - now playing!

Now, go to your Downloads folder,
run the .dmg file and
move the app to the Application folder
(yes, you need to replace the old app).

Issue: CONTAGION-ON-NUMERICAL-COMPARISONS
References: CLtL p.194
Category: CHANGE
Edit history: Version 1, 14-Sep-88, Moon
Problem description:
The numerical contagion rules specified on CLtL p.194 make it impossible
for the numerical comparison functions to be transitive when given
arguments of mixed floating and rational types (see example below).
Proposal (CONTAGION-ON-NUMERICAL-COMPARISONS:TRANSITIVE):
Instead of using the same contagion rule both for combining functions
and for comparing functions, make the present rule apply only to
combining functions and add the following rule: When rational and
floating-point numbers are compared by a numerical function, the
function RATIONAL is called to convert the floating-point number to a
rational and then an exact comparison is performed. In the case of
complex numbers (RATIONAL is for some unknown reason only allowed on
reals), the real and imaginary parts are handled individually.
It is of course valid to use a more efficient implementation than
actually calling RATIONAL, as long as the result of the comparison is
the same.
Test Cases/Examples:
(defvar a (/ 10.0 single-float-epsilon))
should be NIL, since
(= a (floor a))
is certainly T and
is certainly NIL. However, by the rule of floating-point contagion,
is the same as
(= a (float (1+ (floor a)) a))
and the latter form is certainly T.
To understand this example better, it helps to realize that
(= a (+ a 1.0))
is always true, by the definition of single-float-epsilon.
Here is a second example:
(<= a (+ i 1)) is T.
(< (+ i 1) (+ i 2)) is T.
(<= (+ i 2) a) is T by CLtL, NIL by this proposal.
Thus CLtL requires
which ought to imply
a < a
which is absurd.
Rationale:
Transitivity of = and of < are important to many algorithms. What CLtL
says now was probably not intentional, but just the result of thinking
that comparing and combining could be lumped together without really
thinking about it.
Without this change, it is impossible to extend the :TEST argument to
MAKE-HASH-TABLE to allow = or EQUALP, since there could be two table
entries with rational keys that are not =, then GETHASH could be
presented with a floating-point argument that is = to both keys.
Current practice:
Lucid is said to implement the proposal. As far as I know all other
implementations do what CLtL currently says.
Cost to Implementors:
This requires a change in what is likely to be intricate and
implementation-dependent code. However, the total effort should
be small compared to the cost of writing that code originally.
Cost to Users:
This is an incompatible change. It's difficult to know if any users
are depending on the current behavior. It seems likely that most users
would expect the proposed behavior, and may be wondering why their
programs don't quite work when the numbers get large.
Cost of non-adoption:
Comparison functions in Common Lisp will be non-transitive.
Benefits:
Comparison functions in Common Lisp will be transitive.
Esthetics:
Having two rules of floating-point contagion may seem less esthetic,
but I'm certain that having the comparison functions behave in a more
mathematically correct fashion outweighs that esthetically.
Discussion:
Everyone who has expressed an opinion has thought this was the right
thing for years, but we never got around to writing it up as a cleanup
proposal.


The conversion specifier (in foreign/[2,3]
facts)
string(N)
has been dropped.
The conversion specifier chars
has been renamed to
codes
, in analogy with the built-in predicate
atom_codes/2
, the second argument of which is a list of
character codes.
The C header generated by splfr from the foreign/[2,3]
facts now uses the const
attribute where appopriate.
Foreign resources are no longer unloaded by
save_program/[1,2]
. For this reason the deinit function of a
foreign resource is no longer called when saving a program so
SP_WHEN_SAVE
has been removed.
Many functions in the C API has been changed or removed, especially those related to OS and I/O operations. There are also a number of new C API functions.
| Old API | Replaced by
|
SP_make_stream , SP_make_stream_context | SP_create_stream
|
SP_set_tty | SP_CREATE_STREAM_OPTION_INTERACTIVE
|
SP_fgetc | SP_get_byte , SP_get_code

Two versions of the scan operator exist:
ScanBatch
: the original version that uses readers based on the
RecordReader
interface. ScanBatch cannot, however, handle
limited-length vectors.ScanOperatorExec
: the revised version that uses a more modular
design and that offers a mutator that is a bit easier to use, and can limit
vector sizes.Further, the new version is designed to allow intensive unit test without the need for the Drill server. New readers should exploit this feature to include intensive tests to keep Drill quality high.
See ScanOperatorExec
for details of the scan operator protocol
and components.

The scan batch creator is unique to each storage plugin and is created
based on the physical operator configuration ("pop config"). The
scan batch creator delegates to the format plugin to create both the
scan batch (the scan operator) and the set of readers which the scan
batch will manage.
The scan batch
provides a Mutator
that creates the vectors used by the
record readers. Schema continuity comes from reusing the Mutator from one
file/block to the next.
One characteristic of this system is that all the record readers are created up front. If we must read 1000 blocks, we'll create 1000 record readers. Developers must be very careful to only allocate resources when the reader is opened, and release resources when the reader is closed. Else, resource bloat becomes a large problem.

Here, the scan batch creator again delegates to the format plugin. The
format plugin creates three objects:
OperatorRecordBatch
, which encapsulates the Volcano
iterator protocol. It also holds onto the output batch. This allows the
operator implementation to just focus on its specific job.ScanOperatorExec
is the operator implementation for
the new result-set-loader based scan.A key part of the scan strategy is the batch reader. ("Batch" because it reads an entire batch at a time, using the result set loader.) The framework creates batch readers one by one as needed. Resource bloat is less of an issue because only one batch reader instance exists at any time for each scan operator instance.
Each of the above is further broken down into additional classes to handle projection and so on.

A Poem I Like
Here’s a poem that I recently, that I like more each time I read it. This blog is called Haikus in C anyways, why not get some poetry on here!
All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace by Richard Brautigan
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
The phrase “Software is eating the world” is being thrown around a lot on the internet these days, ever since Marc Andreessen coined it in a Wall Street Journal essay from 2011.
I believe in the idea, but I think that software has only taken its first bite in what will be a massive feast spanning hundreds of years. Software has already become a part of billions of people’s lives, whether it touches them directly or not (i.e. via a device/web browser), and yet there are so many places where software and computing power will be in just a handful of years where it is not right now. Intel’s Newton computer and other products like it are going to introduce the element of computer “intelligence,” or programmable behavior, into more and more corners of our existence (see the Nest thermostat, the automated car, the internet fridge). We’re going to continue to speed things up, make things more autonomous, and we’re going to use computers to do it.
This is really exciting.
Brautigan’s poem describes a potential endstate of this process, a serene utopia where software is so pervasive that it has become our guardian. Humanity is free to forget problems it once concerned itself with, safe in the hands of the machines it has created to solve them. I’m not sure I can fully believe in this eventuality. For one thing, I think there will always be bugs. No matter how big the system, no matter how refined, there will always be bugs because humans are not perfect, and at the end of the day, humans write software.

Unfortunately, voting in person may not be feasible this election cycle. The Covid-19 pandemic may prevent polling places from operating the way they usually do. It may be difficult for polling places to properly social distance, especially when so many of those places are small community centers without adequate room to keep everyone six feet apart.
The solution that many Board of Elections is leaning towards is giving voters the option to vote by mail. Mail-In Voting is currently an option in only a few states, such as Oregon and Washington, who have been utilizing this option for decades, but it is not yet an option for all voters across every state.
Most states have the option of absentee voting, which is different from mail-in voting because to vote absentee, you must first request that a ballot be sent to you. Voters do not have to provide a reason for which they are choosing to vote absentee in most states; anyone is allowed to do it for any reason. Some states though do require voters to give a reason that they are voting through mail instead of in person. With mail-in voting, a voting ballot is automatically sent to every registered voter in the state, which is something that originated in Oregon.
Lots of people who are in opposition to mail-in voting are opposed because they believe that mail-in voting will cause voter fraud. President Trump himself has said that mail-in ballots will cause the 2020 election to “be the most RIGGED Election in our nation's history,” he said in a tweet in late June.
 We voted during World War One & World War Two with no problem, but now they are using Covid in order to cheat by using Mail-Ins!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
Looking at the amount of voter fraud in Oregon since 1998, when it was voted in statewide by Oregon residents, we can see that Trump’s claims are not backed up by facts. The Oregon Secretary of State reported to The Hill that voting by mail is extremely secure and is the reason why Oregon has “one of the highest voter turnout in the entire country.”
There have been specific instances of mail voter fraud, but statewide and national studies have shown that there is no evidence of widespread fraud. That’s not to say these instances are not incredibly important as they are a direct threat to our democracy. Any voter fraud is incredibly dangerous and could hurt our election, but when we discuss this issue we need to talk about the facts, not just throw around scary and hyperbolic statements that don’t speak to the truth of mail-in voting.
The truth is, mail-in voting and absentee voting both make our elections more accessible. Since Election Day is not a holiday, many people work during the time that the physical polls are open and they cannot make it to their polling location. People that don’t have time in their day to physically vote should take advantage of absentee voting or mail-in voting, if their state is offering it as an option. During a pandemic, it’s helpful and necessary to give voters an option to vote safely, with no fear of contracting Covid-19.
Unfortunately, due to the severity of this pandemic, the United States Postal System has faced several slow downs of mail processing. President Trump has said that he does not support funding the USPS because he believes that the mail-in ballots will be fraudulent and cause a fraudulent election, according to NPR. While he does not personally support giving this basic and constitutional commodity, he does say that he would sign a bill even if it includes funding to USPS.
With the possibility of mail-in votes not getting in on time due to the USPS not having adequate funding right now, it might be a good choice to get in your vote early due to the mail slow downs. It is also a good idea to pay attention to what is going on currently with the state of the USPS.

BViewer is a computer program used by B Readers to interpret digitized radiographic images according to the ILO guidelines. BViewer can be set up to operate in any one of three supported interpretation environments:
Click on the following link if you have not yet installed and initialized BViewer:
The procedure for sending images to BViewer is the same as for any other Dicom device. For more detailed information, see the topic on "Sending Images to BViewer".
After you have installed and initialized BViewer, you can begin using it for diagnostic image interpretation. The following information summarizes the overall screen layout and functionality.
When you run BViewer, it displays several different windows.
These are:
During your interpretation, you may frequently need to move your mouse from one display window to another. A quick way to do this is to:
The BViewer software is designed to run on a personal computer running Windows version XP or later. To achieve good performance, the computer should have a reasonably fast processor and plenty of memory. It will need a hard drive with enough storage capacity to retain a minumum of several days worth of subject study images.
The BViewer program should be run on a computer system with three display monitors:
The BViewer software consists of two separate components, as shown:
The BRetriever component of the BViewer software runs in the background as a Windows service. It runs whenever your computer is turned on, so it can receive image files even when you are not running BViewer. BRetriever receives Dicom image files and processes them to extract the image and to extract the associated information describing the subject, the study and the image. BRetriever repackages this information and presents it to BViewer. Each newly received study is then represented by an entry inserted in the BViewer study selection list, from which it can be selected for display and interpretation.

Adding operations to autograd requires implementing a new autograd_function
for each operation. Recall that autograd_functions
s are what autograd
uses to compute the results and gradients, and encode the operation history. Every new function requires you to implement 2 methods:
forward()
- the code that performs the operation. It can take as many arguments as you want, with some of them being optional, if you specify the default values. All kinds of R objects are accepted here. Tensor arguments that track history (i.e., with requires_grad=TRUE
) will be converted to ones that don’t track history before the call, and their use will be registered in the graph. Note that this logic won’t traverse lists or any other data structures and will only consider Tensor’s that are direct arguments to the call. You can return either a single Tensor output, or a list of Tensor
s if there are multiple outputs. Also, please refer to the docs of autograd_function
to find descriptions of useful methods that can be called only from forward()
.
backward()
- gradient formula. It will be given as many Tensor arguments as there were outputs, with each of them representing gradient w.r.t. that output. It should return as many Tensor
s as there were Tensor's
that required gradients in forward
, with each of them containing the gradient w.r.t. its corresponding input.
It’s the user’s responsibility to use the special functions in the forward’s ctx
properly in order to ensure that the new autograd_function
works properly with the autograd engine.
save_for_backward()
must be used when saving input or ouput of the forward to be used later in the backward.
mark_dirty()
must be used to mark any input that is modified inplace by the forward function.
mark_non_differentiable()
must be used to tell the engine if an output is not differentiable.
Below you can find code for a linear function:
linear <- autograd_function( forward = function(ctx, input, weight, bias = NULL) { ctx$save_for_backward(input = input, weight = weight, bias = bias) output <- input$mm(weight$t()) if (!is.null(bias)) output <- output + bias$unsqueeze(0)$expand_as(output) output }, backward = function(ctx, grad_output) { s <- ctx$saved_variables grads <- list( input = NULL, weight = NULL, bias = NULL ) if (ctx$needs_input_grad$input) grads$input <- grad_output$mm(s$weight) if (ctx$needs_input_grad$weight) grads$weight <- grad_output$t()$mm(s$input) if (!is.null(s$bias) && ctx$needs_input_grad$bias) grads$bias <- grad_output$sum(dim = 0) grads } )
Here, we give an additional example of a function that is parametrized by non-Tensor arguments:
mul_constant <- autograd_function( forward = function(ctx, tensor, constant) { ctx$save_for_backward(constant = constant) tensor * constant }, backward = function(ctx, grad_output) { v <- ctx$saved_variables list( tensor = grad_output * v$constant ) } )
x <- torch_tensor(1, requires_grad = TRUE) o <- mul_constant(x, 2) o$backward() x$grad

Introduction
Coverage probability is an important operating characteristic of methods for constructing interval estimates, particularly confidence intervals. We care about it because it is the proportion of the time that the interval contains the true value of parameter of interest. It can be defined as the long run proportion of intervals that capture the population parameter of interest. Conceptually, one can calculate the coverage probability with the following steps:
generate a sample of size N from a known distribution
construct a confidence interval
determine if the confidence captures the population parameter
Repeat steps (1) - (3) many times. Estimate the coverage probability as the proportion of samples for which the confidence interval captured the population parameter
Ideally, a 95% confidence interval will capture the population parameter of interest in 95% of samples. One can also calculate 80% or 90% confidence intervals. In general, an X% confidence interval should capture the population parameter of interest in X% of samples. In this blog post, I will perform a 2 × 4 × 2 factorial simulation study to compare the coverage probability of various methods of calculating 90% confidence intervals. The three factors in the experiment are:
1. True, underlying distribution
standard normal
gamma(shape = 1.4, scale = 3)
2. Model
method of moments with normal
method of moments with gamma
kernel density estimation
bootstrap
3. Parameter of interest
sample min (1st order statistic)
median
Other settings in the experiment that will not change are:
Sample size, N = 201
Outside the loop estimation
Generating Data
The true, underlying distribution is either the Standard Normal distribution with mean = 0 and standard edeviation = 1 or a Gamma distribution with shape = 1.4 and scale = 3.
As mentioned earlier, there are 4 models we will be investigating in this experiment:
method of moments with normal, method of moments with gamma, kernel density estimation and boostrap.
To calculate the parameter of interest for each of these models, we will generate sample that have the same sample size as the data in the last step, and then calculte the parameter of interest(min/median). We can repeat this step several times but for the purposes of this blog post, I'll limit the replicates to 5000. Now let's define the 90% confidence interval of the parameter of interest as the middle 90% of the sampling distribution of the parameter of interest. The lower confidence limit for a parameter of interest is the 0.05 quantile. The upper confidence limit for a median is the 0.95 quantile.
The confidence interval will capture the true paramter if the lower confidence limit is less than the true parameter, and the upper confidence limit is greater than the true parameter. To execute the "parameter-capturing" process, let's create a function that tests whether the confidence interval captured the true parameter or not. The function will return a 1 if the confidence interval captured the true parameter or a 0 otherwise.
capture_par <-function(ci,true.par){
1*(ci[1]
Coverage Probability
It is now time to calculate the Coverage Probability, the long run proportion of intervals that capture the population parameter of interest. To calculate the coverage probability for our different models, we will compute the mean of "captures" by repeating the above steps: generate_data %>% estimate.ci %>% capture_par
For the purposes of this blog post, I repeat this 1000 times. The values obtained as the means of captures are our Coverage Probability.
The coverage probabilities for our various combinations are shown in the table below:


Ok, so I screwed up last time and didn’t budget enough time to get into the business plans, but I was also a little disappointed that not enough of them had an actual revenue model. To have a business you have to sell stuff and you have to accept money for the thing you sell. Also, and this is critical, you have to sell more than what you spend. Otherwise what you’re doing is a hobby and not a business.
Since 3 days ago there’s a way to incorporate tokens on the steem platform. We have 49 tokens that have been created on steem-engine.com. So, I’m restarting the business plan competition here on @aggroed. I’m later going to switch the results over to @steem-eng. So, be sure to follow @steem-eng and the competition over there as well.
What you need to do
Write a post, include the following, and link the URL to the post in the comments below. Depending on the number of submissions there may be a followup round.
Describe the problem
Share your vision for the solution
Tell us the mission of the company or app
What product/service will you sell?
How will it incorporate a steem-engine token?
The best answer will get the grand prize of 500 steem and 500 ENG and runners up can get 100 ENG each. So, wish you had ENG to make a token? Here’s your first chance!
The Steem Alliance just held an hour long briefing on what they are doing. Essentially they are organizing a request for proposals (RFP). That call should come out in the next couple of days. Then individuals or teams would have up to 6 weeks to design the structure of a foundation that aims to better Steem.
The call for proposals seems pretty open ended and I’m glad it is. They seem to be trying to allow for the maximum amount of people and ideas. I applaud them for that. Some of the community has had a hard time figuring out the proposals because they issue ideas like changing rewards or asking for money for stuff. It isn’t that kinda proposal… yet.
The next steps for the Steem Alliance seem to be
Call for proposals for the design of a foundation
People submit proposals over a 6 week period where they have designed a foundation
The community weighs in on which is the best fit
The foundation(s) with the most traction will work on fund raising from Steemit, whales, and other sources.
Stars Align
I’m working with a team of people to put together the Stars Align proposal. At the core of this specific foundation design proposal is a non-profit entity designed to take proposals from the general public, filter them through boards with expertise, balance needs through an executive board, and finally get buyin/approval from the Board of Directors (which is comprised of Steem stake holders).
This model is a good one in my mind because it allows anyone on the platform to submit financial requests to get projects access to funds. It has teams of experts that can pay attention and review requests coming in with the keen eye of someone with experience. It will have checks and balances put in place!
The Board of Directors can approve or disapprove, but can’t design budgets.
The Executive can set priorities, but can’t review individual financial requests.
The five “topical” boards can accept and approve financial requests but have no authority to fund them directly.
Because of this design the community will get the following benefits:
The People get access
Experts review
Stakeholders get oversight
It should be difficult to game the system for selfish profit
Just the start
No, this isn’t the whole proposal, but this is at the core of what we’re doing. We’re building out a Discord Server so you can see the day to day of how this Foundation would run, and in that server we’ll put in key details of things like how anyone could join a board.
If you align with the spirit of this proposal then come work with us. We’re still assembling the team and the call for proposals hasn’t even gone out yet. Together let’s build something awesome that can help Steem get organized while still being decentralized.
Feel free to contact me initially in PALnet (http://minnowpond.org), and if it seems like a fit I’m happy to bring you into the Stars Align discord server and you can lend your voice to the details of how this particular Foundation will operate.
Let me share with you a vision of where Steem-engine.com is heading. We want it so that when you create a token it has instant liquidity on the steem-engine.com dex that’s currently in a testing phase, but also on exchanges the world over that already offer Steem! Can you see what that could do for your business? Imagine getting instant access for your token on the major exchanges like Bittrex, Kraken, and Binance!?! Talk about liquidity.
Anyway, that’s what we’re working towards. We’ve barely started, but we should have the Dex out sometime in February. But that also brings up some legal concerns. We’re not legal experts and certainly not agents of the bar association. So, take the following as something to consider as you complete your actual legal due diligence.
(Though I should also note, because this stuff is complicated and the consequences can be massive fines or jail time we’re planning on partnering with a law firm that has some expertise in cryptocurrency to offer legal services. So, watch out for that this month as well, but for now let’s just get started with some token basics.)
USA regulatory body - the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC)
I was born in new england. I have to worry about American laws and the SEC. They have rules regarding selling securities that often involve a ton of reporting, which is difficult for small companies to do. There are exceptions and when our team begins offering legal services it’ll be around these exceptions that make it vastly easier for small companies to issue securities LEGALLY! (looking at you eth for your vast array of illegal security tokens)
Security Tokens
Selling unlicensed securities is no bueno. That can land you in serious legal trouble with fiat based regulatory bodies that have a way of taking your money or locking you away. So, for your sake we don’t want you to do that. That said not all tokens are automatically securities, and there are of course legal ways to make your security legal. **It’s complicated and that’s why we suggest working with a legal team.
To determine if your token is a security the Supreme Court came up with what’s known as the Howey test, which is essentially the litmus test that the legal and financial system uses to determine if what you’re offering is a security.
They ask themselves does this token represent “a contract, transaction, or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party.”
That might still be too much legalize for folks, so let me try to break that down into English a little more-
Did you invest money? Was it in a common enterprise, like you expect to own a part of a company vs owning a product? Do you have an expectation of profits? Are your profits coming from the work of other people?
If the answers to those questions are “yes” then you’re very likely buying/creating/issuing a security. If it’s a security you’re going to have to figure out a pathway with regulatory bodies.
This however is just a guideline that they use. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what you think the token is and only matters what the SEC thinks the token is. If they call it a security token, or you don’t get them to weigh in on it initially and they later determine it’s a security token then life may get pretty hard for you and potentially anyone that bought the token.
That’s why we are working to get a legal firm involved and I keep repeating you should be seeking legal advice before you get yourself in hot water with a tool that you didn’t weigh completely.
Be safe as a token creator or a token buyer
If you’re looking to issue a token do some more research or partner with a legal firm (preferrably thorugh us starting later this month) to make sure what you’re doing is legal.
If you’re looking to purchase tokens either for products and services or as an investment make sure you do your due diligence on companies to verify if they are acting within the law they are governed by.
The dex protocol is open to everyone who creates a token and we’re not offering any guarantees or issuing any advice on the tokens that come out. We’re expecting third parties to come through and start talking about and rating the various tokens and possibly categorizing them as securities.
This is for information purposes only, and at this very moment we’re not currently offering legal advice or services. Since we know many people are going to be interested in raising millions of dollars through steem we’re going to start offering those services soon. For now, issue tokens with care and thought, and if you’re going to treat them as company/dapp ownership be careful and be sure that you’re acting within the laws of the country you operate in.
Today is another fun Steem day for me. I get to cohost the Sounds of Steem digital concernt. Come listen to your favorite Steem musicians perform live! We’re starting at 4pm EST (2100 UTC). We’ll be live in msp-waves. You can listen in PALnet or online at mspwaves.com/listen
I also have 2 tournaments running today. One after the Sounds of Steem at 4pm for 500 Steem, and one at 8pm tonight for a whole bunch of the legendary summoners.
Tomorrow I’m going to host a 500 Steem Tournament. Gold Level Limits. Double Elimination. Best of 3. Finals are best of 5. You can come join us at 2pm est. Check in at 1:45 pm est.
Saturday night we’re going to run a diamond level 10-Legendary Summoners Tournament. Double elimination, Best of 3 till the finals, and then it’s Bo5. It’s at 8pm EST.
