National Security LetterThe list of "compromises" between liberty and security in the post-September 11 era gets longer every day, but the worst part is that some of those "compromises" make it illegal for anyone to figure out just how many "compromises" have been added to the tote board.Consider the brave new tool known as the National Security Letter, one of the PATRIOT Act's many Easter Eggs, provided for in Section 215 of the 131-page homeland manifesto. National Security Letters are nothing less than warrantless searches -- so secretive that to disclose the very request is itself a prosecutable violation of national security. NSLs are issued by FBI agents, without so much as a nod to the courts. They are directed to businesses, usually demanding they cough up information on their customers. The companies must comply and cannot even disclose the fact that a request was received. And if you're thinking this tool is being judiciously and selectively used to protect the United States against terrorists, think again. More than 30,000 NSLs are issued every year, according to the Washington Post. And that's just an estimate from anonymous sources. The actual number could be far higher, but we'll never know, because -- you guessed it -- it's a national security secret. "There is no requirement that the FBI demonstrate a need for such records. It need only assert that the records are 'sought for' an intelligence or terrorism investigation," according to a 2003 statement on the Senate floor by Sen. Patrick Leahy -- ranking Democratic member of the increasingly anachronistic "Senate Subcommittee on Constitution, Federalism and Property Rights". The National Security Letter existed and was used sparingly to track mostly illegal financial transactions before the PATRIOT Act transformed it into the default tool for collecting information on American citizens. The FBI could circumvent a warrant by using an NSL, but it had to provide specific facts to support its request (not that anyone except the recipient of the letter would actually see these facts). Now you might be wondering, doesn't the Fourth Amendment state that "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"? Well, yes, it does. But the Supreme Court ruled during the 1970s that this right does not include protection of information provided to businesses. So as soon as you voluntarily disclose information to a business -- a virtually unavoidable action -- it becomes fair game for a warrantless search. In other words, if they don't kick in your actual door or tap your actual phone, pretty much everything else is fair game. That was bad enough to start with. Then the PATRIOT Act offered the FBI wide latitude to go after banks and credit card companies to obtain information without even bothering to provide a factual basis for its request -- a factual basis which, you will recall, was not subject to outside verification or oversight. Instead of having to produce a pretext -- however flimsy -- for its seizure of financial records, the FBI could now simply assert the request had something to do with terrorism and go to town. Even that wasn't enough power, however, to suit the "new normal" in Washington. So the PATRIOT Act was amended and expanded to allow the FBI to send NSLs to virtually any kind of business or institution -- "car dealers, pawn brokers, travel and real estate agents", according to Leahy. And so much more. The Act states that the FBI may demand "production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities" from an ever-broadening spectrum of business types. The most common uses -- that we know of -- include snatching customer data from Internet service providers of every ilk, the numbers and dates of subscriber phone calls and library records, because as everyone knows, what you read could be hazardous to the country's health. Despite their barking protests, Congressional Democrats have been willing to bite and filibuster additional PATRIOT amendments that have expanded the NSL's reach still further since PATRIOT's 2001 debut. Businesses from self-storage to manufacturing were now potentially facing the risk of the secret letter, the ungentle demand for information and the outright threat of criminal prosecution if they breathed a word of this to anyone. The ACLU finally decided to tackle the issue head-on, filing a lawsuit on behalf of four librarians served with NSLs in the seething terrorism hotbed of Connecticut. In addition to a demand for patron records, all four were told they would go to jail if they discussed the NSLs with anyone, and that the duration of this gag order was forever and ever, world without end, amen. It was barely clear from the PATRIOT Act that they even had the right to contact an attorney. As the judicial tide began to shift in favor of the librarians, the Justice Department moved to implement what has lately become its legal strategy of first resort:
The idea here is to prevent the law from being declared unconstitutional and to force every potential future plaintiff to take the time and trouble of litigating their complaint in next week's exciting episode of "Stall, Bargain and Moot". But that isn't the only goal. While this process was playing out in the Connecticut case, you see, the PATRIOT Act was coming up for renewal. The librarians -- understandably -- wanted very much to speak out about this pending vote, but the government employed every legal tactic in its arsenal to keep them quiet until after the Act was renewed. Meanwhile, the law was subtly changed to disarm some of the plaintiff's best legal arguments (most notably by conceding explicitly that recipients of NSLs could talk to a lawyer before complying). The librarians finally won a fairly Pyrrhic victory in which the perpetual gag order was decreed "probably" unconstitutional, while the Justice Department dropped its efforts to enforce the order against them specifically once the PATRIOT Act was renewed for years to come. Many provisions were made permanent. Section 215 -- the NSL proviso -- was not, but it was extended four more years. As one of the plaintiffs told the New York Times after the May 2006 decision, the victory felt "like being allowed to call the Fire Department after the building has burned down". Bloodied but unbowed, the Bush Administration continues to use NSLs to "fight terrorism". For instance, they've been particularly aggressive in using the letters to go after those dangerous extremists in the U.S. news media who don't toe the party line. Around the same time that the librarians were celebrating their righteous victory, an anonymous source contacted ABC News to inform its investigative reporters that the federal government knew who they were calling -- and not just ABC reporters, but reporters for the New York Times and the Washington Post as well. Needless to say, there would be quite a stink if the FBI had to go through the courts seeking warrants for the phone records of mainstream news reporters covering government misconduct. But that's what the NSLs are for! ABC reported -- and the FBI carefully non-denied -- that an investigation of alleged CIA leaks was being facilitated by the use of NSLs and that journalists' phone records were most definitely not exempt. Oh, and remember that big NSA phone database that had everyone so upset? In May 2006, USA Today reported "The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth." A slew of nondenial-denials, half-admissions and weird obsfuscations followed. No one denied the NSA had the phone numbers. Yet the NSA was specifically exempted in the PATRIOT Act from using NSLs to collect whatever data it damn well pleases. So how did the agency convince all those phone and Internet companies to cough up their data? USA Today claimed they made arrangements directly with the companies. But the two companies that were willing to comment on the story denied that.
"One of the most glaring and repeated falsehoods in the media reporting is the assertion that, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Verizon was approached by NSA and entered into an arrangement to provide the NSA with data from its customers' domestic calls." Interesting choice of words there. What about BellSouth? The company issued the following:
"As a result of media reports that BellSouth provided massive amounts of customer calling information under a contract with the NSA, the Company conducted an internal review to determine the facts. Based on our review to date, we have confirmed no such contract exists and we have not provided bulk customer calling records to the NSA." Let's go back to Leahy's statement to the Senate. We'll pick it up mid-speech as he's enumerating the many things that the PATRIOT Act neglected to regulate when granting this considerable power to the FBI:
"Nor are there sufficient limits on what the FBI may do with the records or how it must store them. For example, information obtained through NSLs may be stored electronically and used for large-scale data mining operations." So let's walk through this. The NSA wants all these phone records, but it can't ask for them. The FBI can demand the records and threaten the companies with prosecution if they tell anyone that the bureau ever asked for anything. And once FBI has the records, it can do whatever it wants with them. Could these be signs of a legal end-run using the NSLs as cover? Let's go the President.
"[T]he intelligence activities I authorized are lawful and have been briefed to appropriate members of Congress, both Republican and Democrat." The gaping holes in the NSL law clearly allow for the possibility, and maybe even the "lawful" possibility. If the companies had received NSLs, they would be legally prohibited from saying so. For the moment, the question of whether it happened this way must remain unanswered. But really, this is just one of so many, many, many Big Brother scenarios that could play out in the wide open spaces surrounding the FBI's use of material seized through this mechanism. Use your imagination. It's a conspiracy theorist's delight, or it would be, except once they finish analyzing your Web-browsing, Amazon-reading, phone-calling, library-borrowing patterns, it's off to the gulag before you even get the chance to say "I told you so".

Slots of Fun
问题描述 :
The International Betting Machine company has just issued a new type of slot machine. The machine display consists of a set of identical circles placed in a triangular shape. An example with four rows is shown below. When the player pulls the lever, the machine places a random letter in the center of each circle. The machine pays off whenever any set of identical letters form the vertices of an equilateral triangle. In the example below, the letters ‘a’ and ‘c’ satisfy this condition.
In order to prevent too many payoffs, the electronics in the machine ensures that no more than 3 of any letter will appear in any display configuration.
IBM is manufacturing several models of this machine, with varying number of rows in the display, and they are having trouble writing code to identify winning configurations. Your job is to write that code.

Estimate the correlation between two irregular time series that are not necessarily sampled on identical time points. This program is also applicable to the situation of two evenly spaced time series that are not on the same time grid. 'BINCOR' is based on a novel estimation approach proposed by Mudelsee (2010, 2014) to estimate the correlation between two climate time series with different timescales. The idea is that autocorrelation (AR1 process) allows to correlate values obtained on different time points. 'BINCOR' contains four functions: bin_cor() (the main function to build the binned time series), plot_ts() (to plot and compare the irregular and binned time series, cor_ts() (to estimate the correlation between the binned time series) and ccf_ts() (to estimate the cross-correlation between the binned time series).

Report: Daimler mulls slashing 1,100 senior jobs
FRANKFURT, Nov 8 — German luxury carmaker Daimler plans to cut 1,100 management jobs worldwide in fresh efforts to cut costs as it grapples with expensive recalls and a slowing global market, a German newspaper reported today.
The cull would see the Mercedes-Benz maker slash one tenth of all senior roles in Germany alone, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung wrote, citing an email sent to staff by the group’s works council.
Daimler CEO Ola Kallenius will unveil details of the layoffs at a capital markets day in London on Thursday, it said.
According to the daily, Kallenius will also ask German workers to refrain from asking for pay hikes as the group weathers headwinds from global trade tensions, costly recalls and a massive “dieselgate” fine.
Daimler refused to comment on the “speculations”, saying in a statement that it remained “in a constructive dialogue with worker representatives”.
But it warned that the group needed to take action to tackle “major challenges worldwide”.
Like its rivals, the Stuttgart-based firm is spending billions in the shift towards the electric, autonomous vehicles of the future.
It has also been hit with mass recalls linked to faulty Takata airbags and to diesel cars allegedly fitted with software to dupe emissions tests.
While the company has staunchly denied cheating, it nevertheless agreed to pay an €870-million (RM3.9 billion) fine to German authorities in September for having sold vehicles that did not conform with legal emissions limits.
The setbacks pushed Daimler into a net loss of 1.2 billion euros in the second quarter, its first three-month loss in 10 years.
Daimler’s woes come just as the car industry is confronting weaker-than-expected growth, weighed down by US-China trade conflicts and Brexit uncertainty.
The group has previously warned that its cost-cutting drive would target “all business areas”.
Daimler’s works council chief Michael Brecht was quoted by Sueddeutsche as saying that factory workers should not be made to pay the price for “legal fights and quality issues”.
The mood in the company was one of “extreme uncertainty, and even anger”, he said, noting that bosses had not asked staff to forego salary rises since the 2008 financial crisis. — AFP

What can data teach us about Shakespeare’s most famous speech?
We analyzed audio from 8 performances of Hamlet’s Act III Scene I soliloquy.
From this analysis, we located aspects of each performance that could shed light on the text as a whole: speed and volume.
Let’s get to know these performances better. Three of them (Essiedu, Cumberbatch, and Scott) are stage performances, two are audio recordings (Hiddleston and Glover), and three are film clips (Hawke, Lester, and Branagh).
What can we learn about the soliloquy from the audio of these performances? Let’s demo this analysis using the soliloquy’s incredibly famous first line:
This graph shows how many seconds each actor takes to speak the first line. Note the range of this data: Andrew Scott takes around 11 seconds, but Devon Glover, Ethan Hawke, and Tom Hiddleston all spend around 3.
Actors who spend more time on the opening line emphasize the challenge of solving its central question. Pauses and drawn-out words create a sense of measured, slow contemplation.
Conversely, the actors who spend less time speaking the opening lines instill them with urgency and build momentum for the rest of the speech.
This graph visualizes the volume of each actor’s audio file during the first 10 words. Most of the actors are clustered between RMS levels of -35 and -45, but there are two primary outliers: Branagh and Glover.
Glover is louder than the rest in large part because of the medium of his performance: music, which requires a backing track that ups the volume. Branagh also takes advantage of his medium: cinema. He doesn't need to worry about projecting his voice across a theater like Scott or Essiedu—this allows him to practically whisper the first line, emphasizing its introspective quality.
Also interesting is the dip in Hiddleston’s volume around the word “that”—this indicates that he took a pause before saying the last four words that registered as near silence in our analysis of the audio data.
Now that we've demoed how each metric can inform an analysis of the performances, let's apply that to the speech as a whole beginning with a focus on one key piece of data: timestamps.
From timestamps, we can learn quite a lot. One aspect of the speech they enable us to isolate is pause lengths—where and when does each actor takes their longest pause?
Let’s break this data down. Most of the actors take their longest pause (or one of their longest pauses) around the same lines.
A closer look at these pauses reveals how they reflect the actors' interpretations of certain lines.
Onto the next section...
Another data point we can glean from audio files is volume. The RMS level approximates loudness, and the median RMS level for each actor’s performance is visualized below—the lower the number, the lower the estimated loudness!
This can highlight each actors’ medium, the pauses they take, the lines they emphasize with increased volume, and more.
Which line does each actor say the loudest?
Now, let's look at how the volume data changes over time.
This graph visualizes the actors' volumes over the course of the soliloquy. Toggle the legend to isolate and track each actor!
Hiddleston's graph is the most distinctive—it's marked by constant changes from near silence to volumes that are louder than most other actors. This highlights how he takes frequent, short pauses, trading the spontaneity that other actors embrace for steady stops at punctuation marks.
A good counter example to this is Essiedu. His graph is characterized by less regular peaks and valleys, which indicates his commitment to an emotional take on the speech—rather than a verbatim adherence to the written rhythm and punctuation.
Measuring, analyzing, and visualizing audio data from theatrical performances can highlight numerous insights: how medium affects performance, where common moments of emphasis lie, and different approaches to rhythm and pacing, to name a few.
Focusing on quantitative metrics allowed us to consistently (and qualitatively!) compare lots of different performances. This expedites the process of studying multiple texts or subjects—and shows how we can benefit from bridging creative and technical modes of analysis.
To analyze the audio files of these performances, I used two main softwares: the DeepAffects API speech-to-text function for speed analysis, and FFMPEG to get RMS values for each frame of the audio for the volume analysis. Next, I used R Studio to correct errors in the DeepAffects audio transcription of the soliloquy, and to approximate the average RMS value per second. Given these approximations, timestamps and RMS levels may be slightly off from their actual values. The website was designed with Figma, the graphs were made with D3.js, and the website was coded with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

US Looking Into New Daesh Leader, His Role, Where He Came From - State Dept
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States is trying to learn more about the new leader of Daesh*, including his background and previous role in the terrorist organisation, US Counterterrorism Coordinator Amb. Nathan Sales told reporters on Friday.
"We are looking into the leader, his role in the organization, where he came from," Sales said. "I don't have anything to announce on that obviously publicly. But anytime there is a leadership transition in a terrorist organization, we want to make sure that we have the latest information that we need to have to confront the threat.”
Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump said that he knows the identity of the Daesh* new leader after the death of the terror group's head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a US military raid. Trump provided no details about the identity of the new leader.
On Thursday, Daesh* gave the new leader’s name as Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi, a nom de guerre that appears to depict him as a member of the Quraysh tribe and descendant of the Islamic prophet Mohammed.
Baghdadi blew himself up along with two children on Saturday when he was cornered by the US military in his hideout in northern Syria, according to US officials.
Baghdadi’s immediate likely successor, Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, was killed in a US airstrike a day later, according to US officials.
*Daesh (also known as IS/ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State) is a terrorist group banned in Russia

Install Guide Contents
This is a guide for installing and building R3-0 and later of the EPICS areaDetector module. This guide is intended for both areaDetector users and developers. areaDetector can be obtained as a release or by cloning from the github repository.
This guide provides instructions for:
This product is made available subject to acceptance of the areaDetector License
The build process attempts to make the build process easy for typical cases but allow site specific overrides. areaDetector uses many other products.
areaDetector requires EPICS base. R<IP_ADDRESS> or higher, any 3.15 release should work.
areaDetector also requires asyn. The most recent release of asyn is recommended.
Each areaDetector detector module builds both a library and an EPICS IOC application. To build the library only EPICS base and asynDriver are required. To build the IOC application the synApps modules AUTOSAVE, BUSY, CALC, and SSCAN are required. If the CALC module is built with SNCSEQ support then SNCSEQ is also required. The most recent release of the synApps modules is recommended.
The DEVIOCSTATS and ALIVE modules are optional.
EPICS base, asyn and the synApps modules must be built before building areaDetector.
areaDetector optionally uses the NETCDF, TIFF, ZLIB, JPEG, SZIP, HDF5, NEXUS, GRAPHICSMAGIC, OPENCV, and EPICS PVA (formerly V4) libraries. These are used for plugins and drivers and are not required. The XML2 library is required.
Prior to areaDetector R2-5 the TIFF, ZLIB, JPEG, SZIP, XML2, HDF5 libraries needed to be installed on Linux. On Windows they were provided as pre-built libraries in the ADBinaries module in areaDetector. NETCDF and NEXUS were built from source in ADCore.
Beginning with R2-5 the ADSupport module was added to areaDetector. This module builds the GRAPHICSMAGICK, NETCDF, TIFF, ZLIB, JPEG, SZIP, XML2, HDF5, BLOSC, and NEXUS libraries from source code. ADSupport on Darwin may be added in a future release. ADSupport will almost always be used to build the libraries on Windows and vxWorks.
On Linux each library can either be built in ADSupport or installed in a location external to areaDetector.
For each library XXX (XXX=TIFF, NETCDF, etc.) there are 4 Makefile
variables that can be defined in CONFIG_SITE.local
.
XML2 is an exception. It is required, so WITH_XML2 is not supported, but XML2_EXTERNAL, XML2_INCLUDE, and XML2_LIB are supported.
Note that there are some library interdependencies.
- If WITH_TIFF=YES
then WITH_ZLIB
must also be YES
.
- If WITH_HDF5=YES
then WITH_ZLIB
and WITH_SZIP
must also be YES
.
- If WITH_NEXUS=YES
then WITH_HDF5
must also be YES
.
ADSupport can be used to build the libraries for the following operating systems.
The following instructions can be used for installing these libraries externally to areaDetector if that is desired.
On Linux and Darwin the libtiff, libjpeg, libxml2, and libz libraries often come already installed. If they are not already installed then they are normally available for installation via the standard package installation tools, e.g. “yum install” on Redhat systems, “apt get” for Debian systems, etc.
If for some reason you cannot install these libraries using the standard package installation tools, they can be installed from source code distributions as follows.
For each product download the source code from a product download site and then build.
Each site provides some combination of .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, etc. If the file is a zip file then just execute:
unzip file.zip
If the file is any flavor of tar just execute:
tar xf file
All of the following products put the result of unzip or tar into a sub-directory. cd to that directory and follow the instructions for the appropriate sub-section.
This can be downloaded from libTIFF. Then click on the Master Download Site and download the latest stable release. After the latest release is unziped cd to the release and execute the commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
The include and library files are installed by default into
/usr/local
This can be downloaded from zlib.
Then look for latest release download.
After untaring the release
./configure
make
sudo make install
The include and library files are installed by default into
/usr/local
This can be downloaded from libjpeg.
Read the instructions from the web site about installing. I suggest that
it be installed into /usr/local
instead of /usr
. Thus to
install:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-jpeg8 \
--disable-static \
&&; \
sed -i -e '/^docdir/ s/$/\/libjpeg-turbo-1.3.0/' \
-e '/^exampledir/ s/$/\/libjpeg-turbo-1.3.0/' Makefile &&
make
make test
sudo make install
On Linux and Darwin these libraries may not be installed, and may not be available via the standard package installation tools. Follow these steps to install them from source.
This can be downloaded from SZIP.
Click on SZIP Source and download the release that appears.
After the latest release is untared, cd to the release and execute the commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install
This can be downloaded from HDF Group.
Click on Downloads, then Current Release, then HDF5 Software, then Source Code, then latest release.
After the latest release is untared, cd to the release and execute the commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 --with-szlib=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install
make check-install
This can be downloaded from Sourceforge
After the latest release is untared, cd to the release and execute the commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
The areaDetector source code is kept on gitub.com/areaDetector.
It can be downloaded 2 ways:
Via the “git clone” command
git clone --recursive https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector.git
After downloading with git clone –recursive each submodule will be in a
“detached HEAD” state. This means that its state will be that of the
last time that module was committed to the top-level areaDetector
repository. This is normally not the desired state for each submodule.
Rather, one should cd to each submodule and type either
git checkout master
to work on the master branch, or
git checkout RX-Y
to use release RX-Y of that submodule.
By downloading tar.gz or zip file
A specific release of each module can be downloaded through a Web browser or by the wget command:
wget https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector/archive/R2-6.tar.gz
If downloading tar files then each repository must be downloaded separately. To build the “core” of areaDetector the following repositories must be downloaded:
areaDetector/areaDetector
areaDetector/ADSupport
areaDetector/ADCore
To build the simulation detector, which is very useful for learning areaDetector and for testing, also download
areaDetector/ADSimDetector
To also build a specific detector, for example the ADProsilica, also download * areaDetector/ADProsilica
The areaDetector software is designed to be installed in the following tree structure, though this is not required. If it is installed this way then only the top-level areaDetector/configure directory needs to be edited for site-specific configuration.
areaDetector
ADSupport
ADCore
ADSimDetector
ADCSmDetector
pvaDriver
ADPilatus, etc.
areaDetector RELEASE* and CONFIG* files are a little more complex than those in a typical EPICS modules. This is because they are designed to meet the following requirements:
areaDetector/configure directory
, and not in each of the
submodules, of which there are now about 40. - Allows building multiple
architectures in the same tree, including Linux and Windows. This means
that SUPPORT
and EPICS_BASE
may be defined differently for different
architectures, since the path syntax is different for Linux and Windows.synApps/support/configure/RELEASE
to set the locations of EPICS_BASE
and
the versions of asyn, calc, etc. Typing make release
in the
top-level synApps/support directory will update the RELEASE* files in
all modules defined in that RELEASE
file, including those in
areaDetector/configure
.EPICS_BASE
and the support modules (asyn, calc, etc.). It is also
possible to use the Debian package for some of the modules, but use more
recent versions of some modules (e.g. asyn) that are built from source.After all the required products have been installed and a release of areaDetector has been downloaded then do the following in the areaDetector/configure directory:
cp EXAMPLE_RELEASE.local RELEASE.local
cp EXAMPLE_RELEASE_SUPPORT.local RELEASE_SUPPORT.local
cp EXAMPLE_RELEASE_LIBS.local RELEASE_LIBS.local
cp EXAMPLE_RELEASE_PRODS.local RELEASE_PRODS.local
cp EXAMPLE_CONFIG_SITE.local CONFIG_SITE.local
You may also want to copy the architecture dependent example files if you are building for multiple architectures in a single build tree, for example:
cp EXAMPLE_CONFIG_SITE.local.WIN32 CONFIG_SITE.local.WIN32
cp EXAMPLE_CONFIG_SITE.local.linux-x86.vxWorks-ppc32 CONFIG_SITE.local.linux-x86.vxWorks-ppc32
You can copy all of the EXAMPLE_\*
files to the files actually used with
the copyFromExample
script in the areaDetector/configure
directory. If
you do this then be sure to edit the
CONFIG_SITE.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
for your EPICS_HOST_ARCH
as well.
For example CONFIG_SITE.local.linux-x86_64
defines WITH_BOOST=YES
and
this may need to be changed if you do not have the boost-devel package
installed. You can see your local modifications with the diffFromExample
script.
The definition for SUPPORT
normally points to the directory where the
areaDetector, asyn, and the synApps modules (autosave, busy, calc, etc.)
are located.
SUPPORT
should be defined to be
the root location of any modules which should not come from the
Debian package.SUPPORT
tree for those modules not from the Debian distribution
(e.g. asyn) their configure/RELEASE
files should also not define
anything except EPICS_BASE
to point to the location of the Debian
package. For example if building asyn from source in the SUPPORT
tree
and IPAC and SNCSEQ from the Debian package then comment out the lines
for IPAC and SNCSEQ in asyn/configure/RELEASE
.Some installations chose to build for multiple target architectures using
different development machines in the same directory tree on a file server. In
this case the path to SUPPORT may be different for each architecture. For
example SUPPORT on Linux might be /home/epics/epics/support
, while on a
Windows machine using the same copy of support the path might be
J:/epics/support
. In this case RELEASE_SUPPORT.local
could specify the path
for Linux while RELEASE_SUPPORT.local.win32-x86
could specify the path for
the win32-x86 build host. RELEASE_SUPPORT.local
is read first, and then any
definitions there will be replaced by
RELEASE_SUPPORT.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
if it exists.
If the path to EPICS_BASE
is different for a specific EPICS_HOST_ARCH
from the one defined in RELEASE_LIBS.local
and RELEASE_PRODS.local
then
it can be defined in this file. This is typically used only if building
Windows and Linux in the same directory tree.
The location of ASYN, AREA_DETECTOR and EPICS_BASE must be specified. asyn and areaDetector are normally placed in the SUPPORT directory defined in RELEASE_SUPPORT.local.
As described above RELEASE_LIBS.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
can be used if the
ASYN version or path is different for a specific target architecture. This is
usually not necessary even for building Linux and Windows in the same tree,
because only the definitions of SUPPORT
in
RELEASE_SUPPORT.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
EPICS_BASE
in
RELEASE_BASE.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
need
to be changed.
If WITH_PVA=YES is defined in CONFIG_SITE.local and EPICS_BASE version is prior to 7.0 then PVA must define the location of the EPICS PVA (formerly EPICS V4) libraries. Beginning with EPICS base 7.0 the PVA files are in EPICS base and PVA should not be defined.
If using Debian packages then the following must be done:
EPICS_BASE
.ASYN
, AREA_DETECTOR
, ADCORE
, and ADSUPPORT
here. To use the
Debian version of asyn then comment out ASYN
here.See the notes for RELEASE_LIBS.local
above.
The definitions for AUTOSAVE
, BUSY
, CALC
, and SSCAN
must be
specified. If the CALC module is built with SNCSEQ support then SNCSEQ must
also be
specified. If DEVIOCSTATS or ALIVE are defined in RELEASE_PRODS.local
then IOC applications will be built with these modules as well.
If WITH_PVA=YES
is defined in CONFIG_SITE.local
and EPICS_BASE
version
is prior to 7.0 then PVA must define the location of the EPICS PVA
(formerly EPICS V4) libraries. Beginning with EPICS base 7.0 the PVA
files are in EPICS base and PVA should not be defined.
If using Debian packages then the following must be done:
EPICS_BASE
.ASYN
, AREA_DETECTOR
, ADCORE
, and ADSUPPORT
here, but comment
out AUTOSAVE
, BUSY
, etc. because they come from the Debian package.This file is used to define which support libraries are to be used, and if a library is to be used then where it should be found. The following definitions are needed.
WITH_BOOST=YES or NO
boost is needed only to built the test programs in
ADCore/ADApp/pluginTests
. If WITH_BOOST=YES
then BOOST_INCLUDE
and
BOOST_LIB
can be defined to point to the locations of the boost library.
If the boost include and library file are located in default system
locations then BOOST_INCLUDE
and BOOST_LIB
should not be defined.
WITH_PVA = YES or NO
EPICS PVA (formerly V4) libraries are needed for the NDPluginPVA in
ADCore and the pvaDriver repository. To build these components set
WITH_PVA=YES
. If using a version of EPICS_BASE
prior to 7.0 then define
the location of the PVA libraries in RELEASE_LIBS.local
and
RELEASE_PRODS.local
. If using EPICS_BASE 7.0 or later it is not
necessary to define PVA in these files because the PVA files are located
in EPICS_BASE.
For each library XXX (XXX=TIFF, NETCDF, etc.) there are 4 Makefile
variables that can be defined in CONFIG_SITE.local
.
WITH_XXX=YES
then build the plugins and drivers that require this
library.XXX_EXTERNAL=NO
then also build the source code for this
library in ADSupport.XXX_EXTERNAL=YES
then this is the path to the include files for
XXX. However, if XXX is a system library whose include files are in a
standard include search path then do not define XXX_INCLUDE
.XXX_EXTERNAL=YES
then this is the path to the library files for
XXX. However, if XXX is a system library whose library files in a
standard library search path then do not define XXX_LIB
.XML2 is an exception. It is required, so WITH_XML2 is not supported, but
XML2_EXTERNAL
, XML2_INCLUDE
, and XML2_LIB
are supported.
Note that there are some library interdependencies.
WITH_TIFF=YES
then WITH_ZLIB
must also be YES
.WITH_HDF5=YES
then WITH_ZLIB
and WITH_SZIP
must also be YES
.WITH_NEXUS=YES
then WITH_HDF5
must also be YES
.CONFIG_SITE.local
contains the following lines at the end:
# The definitions above can be overridden in the following files.
# The files are searched in this order, with the last definition being used.
# CONFIG_SITE.local.$(OS_CLASS)
# CONFIG_SITE.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
# CONFIG_SITE.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).$(T_A)
Thus if multiple architectures are being built in the same tree the
settings can be different for each OS_CLASS
, EPICS_HOST_ARCH
, or
EPICS_HOST_ARCH.T_A
.
Uncomment the lines for the drivers that should be built. None of the detector drivers are included by default. Some detectors cannot be built on all systems. For example the Roper driver can only be built on Windows systems with the Princeton Instruments WinView or WinSpec programs installed, and the Point Grey driver can currently only be built on Linux systems if the version of libc.so is 2.14 or greater.
RELEASE.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
can be used to build different drivers
on different EPICS_HOST_ARCH
builds in the same tree.
Copy EXAMPLE_commonPlugins.cmd
to commonPlugins.cmd
and
EXAMPLE_commonPlugin_settings.req
to commonPlugin_settings.req
.
cp EXAMPLE_commonPlugins.cmd commonPlugins.cmd
cp EXAMPLE_commonPlugin_settings.req commonPlugin_settings.req
Edit commonPlugins.cmd
and commonPlugin_settings.req
. Change whether or
not the lines for optional modules (e.g. DEVIOCSTATS, ALIVE) are
commented out depending on whether these modules were defined in
RELEASE_PRODS.local
.
cd ADSimDetector/iocs/simDetectorIOC/iocBoot/iocSimDetector
### Edit Makefile to set ARCH to your $(EPICS_HOST_ARCH) architecture
make
../../bin/linux-x86_64/simDetectorApp st.cmd
### If you want to be able to easily run Linux and Windows in the same tree do the following:
### Set ARCH in Makefile for Linux, run make on the Linux machine, and copy envPaths to envPaths.linux
### Set ARCH in Makefile for Windows, run make on the Windows machine, and copy envPaths to envPaths.windows
### Start the IOC for Linux:
../../bin/linux-x86_64/simDetectorApp st.cmd.linux
### Start the IOC for Windows:
../../bin/windows-x64/simDetectorApp st.cmd.windows
Pre-built binary versions of areaDetector can be provided for each detector. This is provided as a convenience so that it is not necessary to set up a build system to run areaDetector on a specific detector.
The instructions here use the Pilatus (ADPilatus) module as an example. Substitute Pilatus with the name of the detector you are working with.
The pre-built binaries can be found on the CARS Web site. There is a subdirectory there for each detector (e.g. ADPilatus) that contains releases for that detector. If you don’t see a pre-built package for the detector you are looking for send an e-mail to Mark Rivers and I can create one for you.
The pre-built binaries contain executables for one or more of the following architectures:
Note that the linux-x86 and linux-x86_64 builds are done a relatively new Linux system and will not run on RHEL 6, for example. The linux-x86-rhel6 build will run on RHEL 6. The linux-x86_64-gcc42 build uses a very old version of libc and should run on most Linux systems.
Follow these steps to use the prebuilt version.
Create an installation directory for the module. On Windows I
typically use C:\EPICS\support
. On Linux I
typically use /home/ACCOUNT/epics/support
, where ACCOUNT
is the name of the account that is normally used to run the detector
software, e.g. marccd on a marCCD detector, mar345 on a mar345
detector, det on a Pilatus detector, etc.
Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style)
tar xvzf ADPilatus_RX-Y.tgz
On Windows it is more convenient to download the zip file and extract it using Windows Explorer.
In the ADPilatus/iocs/pilatusIOC/iocBoot/
directory make a copy of
the example iocPilatus
directory and give it a new local name,
e.g. ioc13Pilatus1. By doing this you will be able to update to later
versions of areaDetector without overwriting modifications you make
in the ioc13Pilatus1
directory.
In the new io13Pilatus1
directory you just created edit st.cmd to
change the PV prefix $(PREFIX)
to one that is unique to your site. PV
prefixes must be unique on the subnet, and if you use the default
prefix there could be a conflict with other detectors of the same
type.
In the same ioc13Pilatus1
directory edit the file envPaths to point
to the locations of all of the support modules on your system.
Normally this is handled by the EPICS build system, but when using
the prebuilt version this must be manually edited. Do not worry about
the path to EPICS_BASE
, it is not required.
A display manager is needed to view the areaDetector control screens. Control screens are provided for the following display managers: MEDM, EDM, CSS, and caQtDM. The native screens are created manually using MEDM. The EDM, CSS and caQtDM screens are converted from the MEDM screens using conversion utilities. These are discussed in a later section.
In order to control the detectors and the plugins you should install one or more of MEDM, EDM, CSS, caQtDM.
The source code for medm can be downloaded from: medm
This requires Motif. medm can be built from source on Linux if the Motif library is available (which it is not for some new releases, such as Fedora 20).
It is available for Windows as via an EPICS Windows Tools MSI installer package.
This can be downloaded through links on the EDM home page.
This can be downloaded through links on the CSS home page.
This can be downloaded through links on the caQtDM home page.
Before running an areaDetector application it is usually necessary to configure a number of items.
EPICS environment variables. There are several environment variables that EPICS uses. I suggest setting these in the .cshrc (or .bashrc) file for the account that will be used to run the detector.
EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST
and EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST
. These variables
control the IP addresses that EPICS clients use when searching for
EPICS PVs. The default is EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=YES
and
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST
to be the broadcast address of all networks
connected to the host. Some detectors, for example the marCCD and
mar345, come with 2 network cards, which are on 2 different
subnets, typically a private one connected to the detector and a
public one connected to the local LAN. If the default value of
these variables is used then EPICS clients ( e.g. medm) running on
the detector host computer will generate many errors because each
EPICS PV will appear to be coming from both networks. The solution
is to set these variables as follows:
setenv EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST NO
setenv EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST localhost:XX.YY.ZZ.255
where XX.YY.ZZ.255 should be replaced with the broadcast address for the public network on this computer.
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES
. This variable controls the maximum
array size that EPICS can transmit with Channel Access. The
default is only 16kB, which is much too small for most detector
data. This value must be set to a large enough value on both the
EPICS server computer (e.g. the one running the areaDetector
IOC) and client computer (e.g. the one running medm, ImageJ,
IDL, etc.). This should be set to a value that is larger than
the largest waveform record that will be used for the detector.
For example if using a detector with 1024x1024 pixels and
4-bytes per pixel (waveform record FTVL=LONG) then
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES
would need to be at least 1024 * 1024
* 4 = 4153344.
In practice it should be set at least 100 bytes larger than this
because there is some overhead. For example:
setenv EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES 4154000
Do not simply set EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTE``S to a very large number
like 100MB or 1GB. EPICS Channel Access allocates buffers of
exactly ``EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY
bytes whenever the required buffer size
exceeds 16 kB, and one does not want unnecessarily large buffers
to be allocated.
EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH
. This variable controls where medm looks for
.adl display files. If the recommendation below is followed to
copy all adl files to a single directory, then this environment
variable should be defined to point to that directory. For
example:
setenv EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH /home/det/epics/adls
medm display files. It is convenient to copy all medm .adl files to a
single directory and then point the environment variable
EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH
to this directory. The alternative is to point
EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH
to a long list of directories where the adl files
are located in the distributions, which is harder to maintain. On the
Pilatus, for example, create a directory called /home/det/epics/adls
,
and put all of the adl files there. To simplify copying the adl files
to that location use the following one-line script, which can be
placed in /home/det/bin/sync_adls
.
find /home/det/epics/support -name '*.adl' -exec cp -fv {} /home/det/epics/adls \;
This script finds all adl files in the epics/support
tree and copies
them to /home/det/epics/adls
. That directory must be created before
running this script. Similar scripts can be used for other Linux
detectors (marCCD, mar345, etc.) and can be used on Windows as well
if Cygwin is installed. Each time a new release of areaDetector is
installed remove the old versions of each support module
(areaDetector, asyn, autosave, etc.) and then run this script to
install the latest medm files.
Each example IOC directory comes with a Linux script (start_epics) or a
Windows batch file (start_epics.bat) or both depending on the
architectures that the detector runs on. These scripts provide simple
examples of how to start medm and the EPICS IOC. For example, for the
mar345 iocBoot/iocMAR345/start_epics
contains the following:
medm -x -macro "P=13MAR345_1:, R=cam1:" mar345.adl &
../../bin/linux-x86/mar345App st.cmd
This script starts medm in execute mode with the appropriate medm
display file and macro parameters, running it in the background. It then
runs the IOC application. This script assumes that iocBoot/iocMAR345
is
the default directory when it is run, which could be added to the
command or set in the configuration if this script is set as the target
of a desktop shortcut, etc. The script assumes that EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH
has been defined to be a location where the mar345.adl
and related
displays that it loads can be found. You will need to edit the script in
your copy of the iocXXX directory to change the prefix (P) from
13MAR345_1:
to whatever prefix you chose for your IOC. The start_epics
script could also be copied to a location in your PATH (e.g.
/home/mar345/bin/start_epics
). Add a command like
cd /home/mar345/epics/support/areaDetector-2-0/ADmar345/iocs/mar345IOC/iocBoot/iocMAR345
at the beginning of the script and then type
start_epics
from any directory to start the EPICS IOC.
The areaDetector/ADViewers repository comes with tools to display images over EPICS Channel Access using ImageJ and IDL. These viewers are described in areaDetectorViewers.html.
HDFView can be used to view files saved with the HDF5 file writing plugins. ImageJ can also be used to view files saved with the TIFF, JPEG, and netCDF plugins.

Not-So-formal Lit Review of Recent Progress in Deep Reinforcement Learning
I want to know what’s going on in the DRL community. That’s why I am doing this lit review.
Rainbow: Combining Improvements in Deep Reinforcement Learning
paper is here This is a good entry-point, because the authors in this paper combines various improvements of deep Q-learning into one coherent system. They argued that the independent improvements (as extensions of DQL) are indeed complementary. Here are a list of improvements they combined:
Double Q-learning
van Hasslt 2010 van Hasselt, Guez, and Silver 2016
In this algo, the authors addresses the overestimation problem when updating the value function acccording to
\[\tag{1} (R_{t+1} + \gamma_{t+1} \text{max} q_{\bar{\theta}} (S_{t+1}, a^{\prime}) - q_{\theta}(S_t, A_t))^2\]$\theta$ is the parameters of the online net, the one that evaluates the states and actions. Action at each time step is selected based on the estimate of $\theta$. $\bar{\theta}$ is the paramters of the target net. It is the one that is periodically updated by the parameters of $\theta$. Using a target net makes training more stable. The optimization algorithm is RMSprop.
Question: why RMSprop is a reasonable optimizer here? No clue, will investigate later.
What is an overestimation bias? It is the error that comes from taking the best action in Eq (1)
A theorem that estabilishes the theoretical fundation of the overestimation bias is the following
Theorem 1 in Double Q-Learning paper
Consider a state in which all the true optimal action values are equal at $Q_*(s, a) = V_*(s)$ for some $V_*(s)$. Let $Q_t$ be arbitrary value estimates that are on the whole unbiased, i.e. $ \sum_a (Q_t(s, a) - V_*(s)) = 0$, that that are not all correct, such that $ \frac{1}{m} \sum_a (Q_t(s, a) - V_*(s))^2 = C$ for some $C > 0$, where $m >= 2$ is the number of actions in $s$. Under these conditions, \(\text{max}_a Q_t(s, a) \ge V_*(s) + \sqrt{\frac{C}{m-1}}\) The lower bound is tight. Under the same condition, the lower bound on the aboslute error of Double Q-Learning esitimate is 0
Ok, what this theorem say? It says, the traditional Q-learning incurs a bias of at least $\sqrt{\frac{C}{m-1}}$, whereas the Double Q-learning does not incur any bias.
Ok, so what is Double Q-Learning and why it does not incur overestimation bias?
The target of Q-Learning is
\[Y^Q_t = R_{t+1} + \gamma \max_a Q(S_{t+1}, a; \theta_t)\]which can be rewritten as
\[Y^Q_t = R_{t+1} + \gamma Q(S_{t+1}, \text{argmax}_a Q(S_{t+1},a;\theta_t); \theta_t)\]The target of Double Q-Learning is
\[Y^{DoubleQ}_t = R_{t+1} + \gamma Q(S_{t+1}, \text{argmax}_a Q(S_{t+1}, a; \theta_t); \theta^{\prime}_t)\]The loss of objective is
\[(R_{t+1} + \gamma q_{\bar{\theta}}(S_{t+1}, \text{argmax}_{a^{\prime}} q_{\theta}(S_{t+1}, a^{\prime})) - q_{\theta}(S_t, A_t))^2\]Why Double Q-learning removes overestimation bias, No clue, will investigate latter.

All donations of $2.00 and over are Tax Deductible.
We are currently seeking funds for the following specific projects for which we would love your assistance, either for the whole sum or in part:
By making a general one-off donation, you will assist us in continuing our work of assisting the community, and expanding our reach on the servcies we provide to the community.
This project will enable us to reduce our annual power bills, become self-sufficient, environment friendly, and to future proof Open House in terms of ever rising energy costs.
We are looking at starting up a workshop for adults and need some equipment for use by participants and would welcome a donation to cover the $1,000 cost.
As we look to outreach locally, but away from our Macleod base – to parks, shopping centres and other remote locations where youth congregate we need to acquire some café equipment and seek a donation of $1,000 to assist with this. And the equipment will be pressed into immediate use!
Help turn around a young person’s life by sponsoring them on the Open House youth mentoring program for a year. We need your help because not all young people or their families are able to afford the fees of $120 per month plus trip costs (over 10 months).
To sponsor a teen for one year costs just $1,500 per annum. If the teen goes on to employment during the year we will use your funds for another needy person.
We are grateful to those donors who have in the past remembered open house in their estate planning. Bequests to open house contribute significantly to our long term financial well-being and help ensure the success of our many programs on an ongoing basis.
Naming open house in your will is not difficult and you can designate any amount of your estate that you wish.
As you make plans for your estate we hope that you will remember a request to us.
For more information on bequests and other gifts to open house please contact our reception on 9450-7600

Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet is an early tragedy by William Shakespeare about two teenage “star-cross’d lovers” whose “untimely deaths” ultimately unite their feuding households. The play has been highly praised by literary critics for its language and dramatic effect. It was among Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Romeo and Juliet are widely represented as archetypal young lovers.

Jimmy Butler kicks videobombing teammates out of postgame interview (Video)
by TSD StaffJimmy Butler is the leader of the Miami Heat, and he’s not interested in sharing the spotlight, which he made very clear after Thursday’s game against the Suns.
The Heat won the game, 124-108, and Butler led everyone in scoring. He turned in a spectacular performance, dropping 34 points on an efficient 11-of-16 shooting from the floor.
He was asked about his performance after the game was in the books, and when two of his teammates tried to videobomb him during that postgame interview, he shot it down quick. Butler shooed them away, then had this to say:
“It’s not about them right now. It’s about me.”
Classic Jimmy B.
