South Australia fire danger warning now ‘catastrophic’
50 new fires spring up in South Australia as temperature passes 42 deg C
SYDNEY : Electricity firms cut off power to thousands of people, more than 100 schools were closed and residents in high risk regions sought shelter yesterday as Australia's devastating bush fires opened up a new front.
Australia has been battling wildfires across several states for days, endangering thousands of people in many communities.
Blazes so far this month have killed at least four people, burnt about 1 million ha of farmland and bush and destroyed more than 300 homes.
Yesterday, a fresh battle line was drawn as 50 fires sprang up in South Australia state, where officials lifted the fire danger warning to "catastrophic" as temperatures passed 42 deg C.
A "catastrophic" warning means that should a fire start, it will not be possible for firefighters to control it, given the weather conditions.
"From sunrise until well past midnight, this state is going to experience very difficult fire conditions," Mr Brenton Eden, assistant chief officer at the South Australian Country Fire Service, told ABC radio.
More than 600 firefighters attended to incidents across the state yesterday, and most were expected to keep battling fires throughout the night.
As some of fires approached electricity transmission lines, provider SA Power Networks cut power to over 12,000 customers.
With strong winds stoking blazes, authorities put residents near four of the fires on high alert to flee in case the flames spread rapidly.
"This is the worst of the weather from a fire behaviour point that we will have seen," Mr Eden told reporters in Adelaide, the state capital.
Australia is prone to bush fires in its dry, hot summers, but the recent series of fierce blazes have been sparked early, in the southern spring, after a three-year drought that has left much of the country tinder-dry.
While the immediate threat was in the south yesterday, firefighters continued to battle about 100 fires that have been burning for several days across Australia's east coast.
Sydney, the country's most populous city with around 5 million residents, was covered with thick smoke for the second day running. - REUTERS

Digg-style pagination of queryset objects is really easy to implement. If Ajax pagination is not needed, all you have to do is modifying the template, e.g.:
{% load endless %}
{% paginate entries %}
{% for entry in entries %}
{# your code to show the entry #}
{% endfor %}
{% show_pages %}
That’s it! As seen, the paginate template tag takes care of customizing the given queryset and the current template context. The show_pages one displays the page links allowing for navigation to other pages.
If you only want to display previous and next links (in a page-by-page pagination) you have to use the lower level get_pages template tag, e.g.:
{% load endless %}
{% paginate entries %}
{% for entry in entries %}
{# your code to show the entry #}
{% endfor %}
{% get_pages %}
{{ pages.previous }} {{ pages.next }}
Customization explains how to customize the arrows that go to previous and next pages.
The get_pages template tag adds to the current template context a pages variable containing several methods that can be used to fully customize how the page links are displayed. For example, assume you want to show the indexes of the entries in the current page, followed by the total number of entries:
{% load endless %}
{% paginate entries %}
{% for entry in entries %}
{# your code to show the entry #}
{% endfor %}
{% get_pages %}
Showing entries
{{ pages.current_start_index }}-{{ pages.current_end_index }} of
{{ pages.total_count }}.
{# Just print pages to render the Digg-style pagination. #}
{{ pages }}
You can use {{ pages|length }} to retrieve and display the pages count. A common use case is to change the layout or display additional info based on whether the page list contains more than one page. This can be achieved checking {% if pages|length > 1 %}, or, in a more convenient way, using {{ pages.paginated }}. For example, assume you want to change the layout, or display some info, only if the page list contains more than one page, i.e. the results are actually paginated:
{% load endless %}
{% paginate entries %}
{% for entry in entries %}
{# your code to show the entry #}
{% endfor %}
{% get_pages %}
{% if pages.paginated %}
Some info/layout to display only if the available
objects span multiple pages...
{{ pages }}
{% endif %}
Again, for a full overview of the get_pages and all the other template tags, see the Templatetags reference.
The view is exactly the same as the one used in Twitter-style Pagination:
from endless_pagination.decorators import page_template
@page_template('myapp/entry_index_page.html') # just add this decorator
def entry_index(
request, template='myapp/entry_index.html', extra_context=None):
context = {
'entries': Entry.objects.all(),
}
if extra_context is not None:
context.update(extra_context)
return render_to_response(
template, context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
As seen before in Twitter-style Pagination, you have to split the templates, separating the main one from the fragment representing the single page. However, this time a container for the page template is also required and, by default, must be an element having a class named endless_page_template.
myapp/entry_index.html becomes:

Entries:

{% include page_template %}

{% block js %}

{% endblock %}

myapp/entry_index_page.html becomes:
{% load endless %}
{% paginate entries %}
{% for entry in entries %}
{# your code to show the entry #}
{% endfor %}
{% show_pages %}
Done.
It is possible to manually override the container selector used by $.endlessPaginate() to update the page contents. This can be easily achieved by customizing the pageSelector option of directive endless-pagination, e.g.:

Entries:

{% include page_template %}

{% block js %}

{% endblock %}

See the JavaScript reference for a detailed explanation of how to integrate JavaScript and Ajax features in Django Endless Pagination Vue.

In a two player game $(A,B)\in{\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}}^2$ a mixed strategy $\sigma_r^*$ of the row player is a best response to a column players' strategy $\sigma_c$ iff:
$$ \sigma_r^*=\text{argmax}_{\sigma_r\in S_r}\sigma_rA\sigma_c^T. $$Similarly a mixed strategy $\sigma_c^*$ of the column player is a best response to a row players' strategy $\sigma_r$ iff:
$$ \sigma_c^*=\text{argmax}_{\sigma_c\in S_c}\sigma_rB\sigma_c^T. $$In other words: a best response strategy maximise the utility of a player given a known strategy of the other player.
Consider the Prisoners Dilemma:
$$ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0\\ 5 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\qquad B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$We can easily identify the pure strategy best responses by underlying the corresponding utilities. For the row player, we will underline the best utility in each column:
$$ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0\\ \underline{5} & \underline{1} \end{pmatrix} $$For the column player we underling the best utility in each row:
$$ B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & \underline{5}\\ 0 & \underline{1} \end{pmatrix} $$We see that both players' best responses are their second strategy.
Consider matching pennies with the best responses underlined:
$$ A = \begin{pmatrix} \underline{1} & -1\\ -1 & \underline{1} \end{pmatrix}\qquad B = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & \underline{1}\\ \underline{1} & -1 \end{pmatrix} $$We see that the best response now depend on what the opponent does.
Let us consider the best responses against a mixed strategy (and apply the previous definition):
We have:
$$ A\sigma_c^T = \begin{pmatrix} 2y-1\\ 1-2y \end{pmatrix}\qquad \sigma_rB = \begin{pmatrix} 1-2x & 2x-1 \end{pmatrix} $$import sympy as sym
import numpy as np
sym.init_printing()
x, y = sym.symbols('x, y')
A = sym.Matrix([[1, -1], [-1, 1]])
B = - A
sigma_r = sym.Matrix([[x, 1-x]])
sigma_c = sym.Matrix([y, 1-y])
A * sigma_c, sigma_r * B
Those two vectors gives us the utilities to the row/column player when they play either of their pure strategies:
Let us plot these (using matplotlib
):
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
matplotlib.rc("savefig", dpi=100) # Increase the quality of the images (not needed)
ys = [0, 1]
row_us = [[(A * sigma_c)[i].subs({y: val}) for val in ys] for i in range(2)]
plt.plot(ys, row_us[0], label="$(A\sigma_c^T)_1$")
plt.plot(ys, row_us[1], label="$(A\sigma_c^T)_2$")
plt.xlabel("$\sigma_c=(y, 1-y)$")
plt.title("Utility to player 1")
plt.legend();
xs = [0, 1]
row_us = [[(sigma_r * B)[j].subs({x: val}) for val in xs] for j in range(2)]
plt.plot(ys, row_us[0], label="$(\sigma_rB)_1$")
plt.plot(ys, row_us[1], label="$(\sigma_rB)_2$")
plt.xlabel("$\sigma_r=(x, 1-x)$")
plt.title("Utility to column player")
plt.legend();
We see that the best responses to the mixed strategies are given as:
$$ \sigma_r^* = \begin{cases} (1, 0),&\text{ if } y > 1/2\\ (0, 1),&\text{ if } y < 1/2\\ \text{indifferent},&\text{ if } y = 1/2 \end{cases} \qquad \sigma_c^* = \begin{cases} (0, 1),&\text{ if } x > 1/2\\ (1, 0),&\text{ if } x < 1/2\\ \text{indifferent},&\text{ if } x = 1/2 \end{cases} $$In this particular case we see that for any given strategy, the opponents' best response is either a pure strategy or a mixed strategy in which case they are indifferent between the pure strategies.
For example:
This observation generalises to our first theorem:
In a two player game $(A,B)\in{\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}}^2$ a mixed strategy $\sigma_r^*$ of the row player is a best response to a column players' strategy $\sigma_c$ iff:
$${\sigma_r^*}_i > 0 \Rightarrow (A\sigma_c^T)_i = \max_{k}(A\sigma_c^T)_k\text{ for all }1\leq i\leq m$$$(A\sigma_c^T)_i$ is the utility of the row player when they play their $i$th strategy. Thus:
$$\sigma_rA\sigma_c^T=\sum_{i=1}^{m}{\sigma_r}_i(A\sigma_c^T)_i$$Let $u=\max_{k}(A\sigma_c^T)_k$. Thus:
$$ \begin{align} \sigma_rA\sigma_c^T&=\sum_{i=1}^{m}{\sigma_r}_i(u - u + (A\sigma_c^T)_i)\\ &=\sum_{i=1}^{m}{\sigma_r}_iu - \sum_{i=1}^{m}{\sigma_r}_i(u - (A\sigma_c^T)_i)\\ &=u - \sum_{i=1}^{m}{\sigma_r}_i(u - (A\sigma_c^T)_i) \end{align}$$We know that $u - (A\sigma_c^T)_i\geq 0$, thus the largest $\sigma_rA\sigma_c^T$ can be is $u$ which occurs iff ${\sigma_r}_i > 0 \Rightarrow (A\sigma_c^T)_i = u$ as required.
Returning to our previous example. If $\sigma_c=(1/2, 1/2)$, $(A\sigma_c^T)=(0, 0)$, thus $(A\sigma_c^T)_i = 0$ for all $i$.
Note that while any strategy is a best response to $(1/2, 1/2)$ the pair of strategies $(\sigma_r, \sigma_c) = ((1/2, 1/2), (1/2, 1/2))$ are the only two strategies that are best responses to each other. This coordinate is called a Nash equilibrium.
In a two player game $(A,B)\in{\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}}^2$, $(\sigma_r, \sigma_c)$ is a Nash equilibrium if $\sigma_r$ is a best response to $\sigma_c$ and vice versa.

Sea of Thieves Gets Firebombs for Christmas
by Rich StantonSea of Thieves’ substantial post-launch support continues with free update ‘The SeaBound Soul’, which arrives November 20 and introduces that well-known pirate weapon: FIREBOMBS!
There's something inherently funny about a boat in the middle of a sea catching fire, like the elements are just having a laugh. Firebombs can be thrown or loaded into your cannons, explode on impact, and set things on fire, on top of the water. Here’s the trailer for the update:
The update will also include a new Tall Tale, the extended quests that some consider the best bits of the game, this time sending players off in search of a legendary ship called the Ashen Dragon.

Western Electric Company Rules (WECO) have been widely used for Shewhart control charts in order to increase the sensitivity of detecting assignable causes of process change. This package implements eight commonly used WECO rules and allow to apply the combination of these individual rules for detecting the deviation from a stable process. The package also provides a web-based graphical user interface to help users conduct the analysis.

Yatra One is a Devanagari and Latin libre font inspired by the hand-painted signage of the Mumbai local railway. This heavy weight high-contrast display face preserves the idiosyncratic character of brush-painted signage by featuring angular cuts and open knots. Notably, the Latin adopts a Devanagari brush angle. A Mumbai native, Yatra offers basic Marathi alternates.
The Yatra One project is led by Catherine Leigh Schmidt, a type designer based in the USA. To contribute, see github.com/cathschmidt/yatra-one


Qt Quick Controls - UI Forms
UI Forms demonstrates how to separate the application logic from the UI using ui.qml files. The example is a simple interface to a customer database, purely written in QML and JavaScript.
UI Forms are rigorously split into .qml and .js files that contain the business logic, and .ui.qml files that only contain the purely declarative description of the UI. The .ui.qml files act as forms and they should be only edited in the Design mode of Qt Creator.
Exporting Items from Forms
In all forms, items that are supposed to interact with the application logic are exported:
property alias cancel: cancel property alias save: save property alias textArea: textArea
This is the way the items are exported in NotesForm.ui.qml, so they can be used in Notes.ui.qml to implement the logic as follows:
function readData() { CustomerModel.selection.forEach(function (rowIndex) { form.textArea.text = CustomerModel.model.get(rowIndex).notes }) save.enabled = true cancel.enabled = true form.textArea.enabled = true } function writeData() { CustomerModel.selection.forEach(function (rowIndex) { var data = CustomerModel.model.get(rowIndex) data.notes = form.textArea.text CustomerModel.model.set(rowIndex, data) }) } cancel.onClicked: readData() save.onClicked: writeData()
Implementing the Backend in a Singleton
Because the ListModel is accessed from several different .qml files, we access the ListModel through a singleton defined in CustomerModel.qml and registered in main.ccp. This way we do not have to rely on the QML context scoping rules to access the ListModel.
Running the Example
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.

My personal style guide is to copy Erlang: double quotes for text, single quotes for programmatic strings (atoms/symbols). The single quote is slightly more convenient to type on a qwerty keyboard, but text regularly contains single quotes (apostrophes). It also provides a semantic visual shortcut.
I like the concept of semantic visual shortcut, also semantic compression (developed here)

this could be an interesting theory about the reading process: [https://www.fabula.org/actualites/luigi-pareyson-esthetique-theorie-de-la-formativite_21236.php]
this is not so much about code aligning with standards of literature, but maybe aligning to the standards of both epistemology and architecture, architectural knowledge
when we talk about esolangs, we are designing a perspective for someone to think through. -daniel temkin src
There’s a lot of attention to COMPRESSION, using the underlying programming language in a way that’s easy to penetrate - richard gabriel src
conceptual art aims at communicating concepts, ideas. experimental art don’t know what they aim at but are motivated by an aesthetic criteria. (richard gabriel, keynote science is not enough)
the question of operational meaning vs. denotational meaning should be explored. what means what to the computer? (and what is the role of the stack in this whole thing)
procedural rhetoric is just a very high level of programming semantics. processes with meaning assigned to it. <- this further extends the gradient.
a class within a class link is a visual/spatio-mental pattern which means “complexity”, “unmaintainability”, “unsustainability”
bad patterns make possible the kind of actions which result in bad patterns?
Abstraction in programming is the process of identifying common patterns that have systematic variations; an abstraction represents the common pattern and provides a means for specifying which variation to use. An abstraction facilitates separation of concerns: The implementor of an abstraction can ignore the exact uses or instances of the abstraction, and the user of the abstraction can forget the details of the implementation of the abstraction, so long as the implementation fulfills its intention or specification. (Balzer et al. 1989)
Compression is the characteristic of a piece of text that the meaning of any part of it is “larger” than that particular piece has by itself. This characteristic is created by a rich context, with each part of the text drawing on that context—each word draws part of its meaning from its surroundings. Piecemeal growth is the process of design and implementation in which software is embellished, modified, reduced, enlarged, and improved through a process of repair rather than of replacement
questions:
would you like to see the corpus? how should i display/save it?
categories of people are relevant? should i look into academic as well? i’m afraid there might not be so much information/sources
are metaphors contributing to the research project? should i stick to the functional part of aesthetics.
the difference between syntactical and semantic metaphors?
the intent overall is to see to what extent there is an overlap between each of those communities of practice

Hello!
How are you?
Hey, sorry for being late
I'm fine
How about you?
I'm doing great thanks!
Hey John, did you check out my pull request?
I sure did!
I'm thinking that you could probably change how the counting of events happens
I agree, I wasn't too sure on how to handle it. If I just use ++ would that work fine?
Kiss It Simple Stupid!
Sorry, didn't reply, I was busy.
It's okay, I've been too
Alright, well good-bye!

Food Scraps Resistome Project
Exploring resistome metagenomics with R using made4 package
John Barlow and Korin Eckstrom
- Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Background
We recently collected shotgun metagenomics data from multiple sources on a poultry farm feeding post-consumer food waste to their chickens. The farm collects food waste from various sources (hospital and school cafeterias, nursing homes, restaurants, grocery stores) and feeds the pooled food scraps to chickens. After the chickens feed on the food scraps the waste material enters a composting stream, and the processed compost is used for vermi-culture and the final product is sold commercially.
Our primary objective was to characterize the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes in the food scraps and waste material within the farm system. We used culture-based and culture-independent (shotgun metagenomics) methods to identify antibiotic resistant organisms and genes in samples collected from the farm system. We sampled across 13 locations (sites) within the system (farm and sources), including food scraps at their original source, food scraps as fed to chickens, eggs from the chickens, compost material at various stages, material in various stages of vermi-culture, and final worm castings available for commercial sale (figure 1).
A secondary objective was to explore the patterns types of microbial genes identified by shotgun metagenomics sequencing in the samples collected from this farm.
We used shotgun metagenomics to identify microbial gene sequences from the samples (figure 2).
A challenge with these data is that there are large numbers of genes (i.e. variables observed, or gene observations) compared to the number of samples (e.g. sample sites), and that we generate separate tables of observed genes from alignment queries to different reference databases. We propose that this is analogous to gene expression data (e.g. microarray data) obtained across different microarray platforms. Further the data contains many “0” observations, where a gene is not observed in a particular sample (graphically explored using the attached R code).
Data structure
The data from the shotgun metagenomics study are 3 separate dataframes, each with 20 identical columns representing the collection sites and a variable number of rows representing the observed genes. The elements in the data are relative abundance measures in gene counts from the metagenomic sequencing runs. At this time we are treating the replicates of metagenomic runs from each site separately (although we know they are not independent), thus there are 26 sites (13 sites with 2 metagenomic runs per site). There were 3 sites where we found no ARGs and these are later removed for co-inertia analysis between the data.frames.
Data Files
there are 3 data files needed for the made4 demo
ARG data res_mat_abun.csv
Bacterial Taxa data bac_mat_abun.csv
Virulence gene data vf_mat_abun.csv
Code
The made4 function overview() will generate a boxplot, histogram, and dendrogram of the data elements. This seems to be good for a quick look at the data. There are few arguments in the functure to enhance the graphics display. Here is the output from running overview on the cleaned ARG abundance data file “res_mat2”

Steve Mayzak and I have just finished a book for O'REILLY, Getting Started with Spring Roo. The book's a very quick introduction to Spring Roo, and includes information about the many useful addons (including support for Vaadin - a powerful, alternative web framework, and Neo4j - an alternative, powerful NOSQL data-store), as well as the in-built Spring Roo addons. If you're interested in Spring Roo, I hope you'll check this out.

This afternoon, while listening to “All Things Considered” on Wisconsin Public Radio, I heard an excerpt from John Roberts’s recent commencement address. Here is the story from “All Things Considered”. Here is the YouTube video.
Roberts spoke at his son’s 9th grade graduation from The Cardigan Mountain School, a boarding school for boys in grades 6 to 9, on June 3, 2017.


ClassLoader¶
class \s3c3\ClassLoader
This classloader expects namespaces to match directory structures for all sub-
namespaces below those it knows. Example:
ClassLoader::addNamespace('s3c3', S3C3_APP . '/');
$foo = new \s3c3\foobar\util\FooUtil() would look for a file named FooUtil.php in
S3C3_APP . '/foobar/util/'

[Erowid Warning: Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. We have chosen to include these reports to help document the real world use of inhalants, but their inclusion is not intended to imply that they are anything but dangerous.]
It was a Friday night when realizing I had no drugs I craved a high.
I frantically searched my home for any abusable mind altering substances and struggled to find anything.
Feeling quite desperate I decided to try an inhalant for the first time, hearing about all the dangers involved I thought 'screw it' and got ready for my first huff. I checked my watch, it was 10:36pm I grabbed a can of lighter fluid, I sat on my bed and huffed away.
After the first 3-4 hits I did not feel much, so I kept spraying as I quickly inhaled through my mouth and out through my nose. I continued until I felt an overwhelming buzz. It was then that I felt strange sensations, I could feel my cheeks being pushed in and my jaw clamped, my vision turned quite blurred...
Realizing it would not last for long I rather ignorantly started urgently huffing quickly until I fell back onto my bed in a daze.
I stared at the ceiling, I could feel a force pulling my body, I was drifting on a raft deep at sea, all my senses were distorted and I was experiencing quite vivid visual & audio hallucinations.
Still staring at my ceiling it opened up to show a blue sky, patterns forming different symbols. From this point onwards I am unsure If my eyes were open or closed.
I saw a skull and crossbones form on my ceiling, it was then that I panicked 'I've poisoned myself', I sat upright and realized that I had been huffing, I had somehow thought that I had taken pills and had poisoned myself. Assuring myself I was ok I lay back down feeling very happy, as I lay down I felt shockwaves around me, slowly they swirled around my body in trippy patterns, my vision now seemed like a 2d painting, I could distort it how I liked..
Gravity seemed none existent as I felt all manner of forces on my body, I closed my eyes, I was still on the raft, I felt something grab the raft from under the water and was pulled underneath, as I descended to the bottom of the sea I felt very relaxed, I saw many odd things drift past me in the water as I was being pulled. Finally I reached the bottom of the sea, it was my bed, my bed was at the bottom of the sea, I opened my eyes.
As I opened my eyes the water swiftly evaporated and everything I heard seemed very loud, started blinking, every time I blinking objects seemed to become closer or further away, my ceiling was now back to its normal state, but I could not tell how far away it was, my whole perception of distant was fucked.
I sat up and turned on the T.V, looking at my watch It had been about 5 minutes from when I had started, what seemed like endless hours had been merely minutes, I found it hard to concentrate on T.V, it was a comedy, I started to laugh..
The visuals started to fade away, and I was left with a nice body buzz, and slightly fuzzy sight.
It was a shame that it only lasted for a few minutes, at the time it seemed longer but still, I felt quite annoyed.
In my stage of annoyance I decided to visit the raft in the sea once more, using my fast huffing method it did not take long for the visuals to reach me again, this time it was different.
Everything I heard echoed and I lay down once again, I could feel myself sinking into my bed, slowly sinking my body felt like it had just quickly dissolved, all that was left was my eyeballs.
I was just a pair of eyeballs on a bed, looking around, it was freaky, but strangely amusing. I couldnít laugh, I had no mouth! I couldnít get up, I had no body!
I was not expecting such vivid hallucinations, I was quite surprised, my leg started to itch, suddenly I felt my hole body form back to its solid form, my body now felt like jelly, as I sat upright I felt my body wobble as I reached down to scratch my leg, I was staring at the wall.
I felt my pulse rate increase as I realized my leg was not there, I was feeling everywhere on my bed but I could not find either of my legs! I wondered how the hell I could of lose my legs in the space of a few minutes. I was panicking.
I could not find my legs because I was staring at the wall, using my sense of touch to find them, I was sitting on the bed with my legs over the side, not actually on the bed anymore. I was looking sideways, I looked down and saw my legs, what a relief.
I slowly drifted back to reality and checked my watch, 10:58.
I had a painful headache, I watched T.V for a few hours before I decided to call it a day and fall asleep.
To be honest, although I enjoyed my first inhalant experience, it will most certainly be my last. Itís not worth the dangers involved when the trip lasts only a few minutes.
I think I'll just stick to weed and acid in the future!

Sorting is one of the most fundamental classes of bread-and-butter algorithms in Computer Science. Implementing a sorting algorithm on the Chip8 has some interesting challenges. Registers are plentiful, Memory access is cumbersome and recursion is impractical. The Big-O complexity of algorithms tells us how well they should perform for some arbitrary size N, but once we tie ourselves to a specific ISA and an upper limit on practical Ns the story can change. Let’s look at a few approaches.
Performance comparisons will be based on a common, arbitrarily chosen shuffled array- in practice different inputs will produce different results but one trial gives us a coarse idea of how algorithms stack up:
:const SIZE 16
:const SIZE-1 15
: data 14 5 15 6 1 3 10 7 0 9 11 4 2 13 8 12
The O(n^2) sorting algorithms are often very compact and don’t have much overhead.  I access the pivot value for each pass up-front and carry it in registers. The loop which finds the minimum value takes advantage of how load increments i
, removing the need to re-initialize it and add an offset on each loop iteration. The memory swap at the end of each iteration is fairly bulky, even though I’ve carefully arranged so that both values will already be in registers.
The algorithm weighs in at 70 bytes and takes roughly 1260 cycles to sort our 16 element array. It’ll be hard to write a general-purpose sorting routine that consumes less memory, but we can improve the speed.
The next natural thought is to employ one of the O(n * lg(n)) algorithms. Quicksort seems to be right out because it is naturally implemented recursively and Chip8 doesn’t have an argument stack. We could build one, but the overhead doesn’t sound good. A better choice is Heapsort:
:const LIMIT 7 # (SIZE/2)+1
:alias left-val v0
:alias right-val v1
:alias start v2
:alias root v3
:alias end v4
:alias best v5
:alias left v6
:alias best-val v7
:alias root-val v8
: heap-sort
start := LIMIT
end := SIZE
loop
root := start
sift-down
start += -1
if start != -1 then
again
start := SIZE-1
loop
# swap data[0] with data[start]:
i := data
load v0
vf := v0
i := data
i += start
load v0
i := data
save v0
i := data
i += start
v0 := vf
save v0
start += -1
root := 0
end := start
sift-down
if start != 0 then
again
;
: assign-best
best := left
best-val := left-val
jump found-best
: sift-down
i := data
i += root
load v0
root-val := v0
loop
left <<= root
if left > end then return
i := data
i += left
load v1
best := left
best += 1
best-val := right-val
if left-val > right-val then jump assign-best
if left == end then jump assign-best
: found-best
if root-val >= best-val then return
i := data
i += root
v0 := best-val
save v0
i := data
i += best
v0 := root-val
save v0
root := best
again
This one was a little tricky to get debugged. Unfortunately, it’s worse on both dimensions we’re considering. The code takes up 130 bytes and takes 1941 cycles to sort the same 16 element array.
If we scale up the array to 64 elements the insertion sort takes about 17613 cycles while the heapsort is only about 11825. Algorithmic complexities work out as expected, but either approach is impractically slow.
There’s a different way to approach this problem. If we have a small, fixed N we could aggressively unroll the steps in a normal sorting algorithm, producing a sequence of code snippets which look something like this:
if v0 <= v1 then jump l-0
vf := v0
v0 := v1
v1 := vf
: l-0
note: this was written prior to the addition of if…begin…else…end.
By using a load vf
instruction it would be possible to pull the full 16 elements of an array into registers at once, and then this lattice of comparisons and swaps could take care of the rest. That won’t quite work, though- comparing the magnitude of two values requires a subtraction, which will destroy the contents of vf
as well as one other temporary register. As a result we’d only be able to sort 14 elements in this manner. The next lowest power of two is 8.
What is the best sequence of comparisons and swaps? The obvious approach is to unroll the steps of a Bubble Sort- for size N=8 that would mean 28 swaps. This is a loose bound, though- this site describes optimal sorting networks for N <= 16. Here’s one for N=8 that only requires 19 swaps:
This diagram is read left-to-right. Horizontal lines are values in a given position of an array, and vertical lines are a test-and-swap between two values. Vertical lines which are in the same column are swaps that can be carried out simultaneously or in any order and otherwise the test-and-swaps must be carried out left to right. Translating this into Octo code as in the example above, we get a subroutine called sort-8
which is 268 bytes long and takes somewhere around 100 cycles to do its thing. This is fast enough that it could actually be employed in a Chip8 game if called sparingly!
For a fair comparison with the previous two algorithms, we can sort 16 elements by splitting the source array into two halves, using the sorting network on each and then performing a linear merge pass:
: heap1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
: heap2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
:alias val1 v8
:alias val2 v9
:alias dest va
:alias index1 vb
:alias index2 vc
: fused-sort
i := data
load v7
sort-8
val1 := v0
i := heap1
save v7
i := data
load v7
load v7 # cheaper than adding an offset of 8
sort-8
val2 := v0
i := heap2
save v7
index1 := 1
index2 := 1
dest := 0
: merge
if val1 > val2 then jump merge-2
append-1
if index1 != 9 then jump merge
loop
append-2
if dest == 16 then return
again
: merge-2
append-2
if index2 != 9 then jump merge
loop
append-1
if dest == 16 then return
again
: append-1
v0 := val1
i := data
i += dest
save v0
dest += 1
i := heap1
i += index1
load v0
val1 := v0
index1 += 1
;
: append-2
v0 := val2
i := data
i += dest
save v0
dest += 1
i := heap2
i += index2
load v0
val2 := v0
index2 += 1
;
This could be done in-place but I used separate buffers for the sake of conceptual simplicty. The results are impressive: 418 bytes of code and a finished sort in about 479 cycles, completely blowing our previous attempts out of the water at the cost of some precious ram. If this is the best balance we can strike, I hope nobody needs to write a game that requires a routine like this, though- if we use what I believe is a historically accurate clock speed for Chip8 our fastest algorithm takes a little over a second to run.
I’ve been tinkering with array languages recently and it lead me to realize that I entirely skipped over a useful class of sorting algorithms in my earlier investigation- Counting Sorts.
There are several variations on the idea, but the classic Counting Sort does a single scan of the input array, counting instances of each key in an array of “buckets” which correspond to each value the key could take on. From this histogram a second pass can read values back out in sequence and fill the source array. It’s possible to achieve linear-time sorting in this manner, but it is only practical when the range of values to consider is fairly small.
For purposes of illustration I’ll restrict the problem space to sorting nybbles (0-15)- as a result the cycle counts will not be directly comparable to those of the previous examples. Our first task is to declare and initialize our bucket array:
: empty
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
: buckets
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
: bucket-sort
# zero bucket array
i := empty
load v7
save v7 # unrolled loop to zero bucket array
save v7 # and initialize loop counters for later.
...
I’m using several tricks here- I fill the lower 8 registers from an ‘empty’ buffer and then take advantage of the fact that i will automatically be incremented to the head of the buckets array and then perform two writes to “stamp” zeroes over the entire array. I could save an instruction if my empty array was large enough to zero all 16 registers, but it’s a code size tradeoff. For zeroing a larger bucket array I might do something like this:
: empty
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
: buckets
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
: bucket-sort
i := empty
load v8 # also initialize v8 as 0
loop
save v7 # zero 8 bytes
v8 += 1
if v8 != 32 # 8x32 = 256
again
...
Either way, fairly fast. We’re able to make those autoincrements work for us. Summing the histogram is much clumsier as we have to juggle i
between arrays:
...
# bucket the elements
# v1 is data index (already 0)
loop
# load data
i := data
i += v1
load v0
vf := v0
# increment bucket
i := buckets
i += vf
load v0
v0 += 1
i := buckets
i += vf
save v0
v1 += 1
if v1 != SIZE then
again
...
And finally, unpacking runs. This is a bit clumsy, but we’re able to build a very tight writing loop using a technique similar to our earlier memory fill. the longer our runs, the more this will pay off.
...
# unpack bucket counts
# v1 is temporary count
# v2 is data index (already 0)
# v3 is bucket index (already 0)
loop
i := buckets
i += v3
load v0
if v0 == 0 then jump no-write
v1 := v0
v0 := v3
i := data
i += v2
v2 += v1
loop
save v0
v1 += -1
if v1 != 0 then
again
: no-write
v3 += 1
if v3 != MAX_VAL then
again
;
Notice how overall I avoid initializing index registers explicitly by taking advantage of the fact that they will be zeroed as part of my initial memory fill routine.
Performance is impressive. The counting sort handles our example 16 element loose-packed nybble array in only 471 cycles, while our best previous (and slightly more general) attempt took 481, using only 122 bytes instead of 422. Increasing the range of sortable values rapidly increases memory requirements, but there are many possible tradeoffs and tweaks. Overall it looks like this type of algorithm provides a second viable option for running sorts on real hardware. See the entire program together by using the “Octo: Open Example” command and search for “sort4”.

Advanced Planning Exercises
11.1: Time, Schedules, and Resources (1 exercises, 0 labelled)
1.
The goals we have considered so far all ask the planner to make the world
satisfy the goal at just one time step. Not all goals can be expressed this way: you
do not achieve the goal of suspending a chandelier above the ground by
throwing it in the air. More seriously, you wouldn't want your spacecraft
life-support system to supply oxygen one day but not the next.
A
maintenance goal is achieved when the agent's plan causes a condition
to hold continuously from a given state onward. Describe how to
extend the formalism of this chapter to support maintenance goals.

2.
Nick Hay Question 1 :
You have a number of trucks with which to deliver a set of packages.
Each package starts at some location on a grid map, and has a
destination somewhere else. Each truck is directly controlled by
moving forward and turning. Construct a hierarchy of high-level
actions for this problem. What knowledge about the solution does your
hierarchy encode?
(id=11.2 section=11.2)
3.
[HLA-unique-exercise] :
Suppose that a high-level action has exactly one implementation as a
sequence of primitive actions. Give an algorithm for computing its
preconditions and effects, given the complete refinement hierarchy and
schemas for the primitive actions.
(id=11.3 section=11.2)
4.
Suppose that the optimistic reachable set of a high-level plan is a
superset of the goal set; can anything be concluded about whether the
plan achieves the goal? What if the pessimistic reachable set doesn't
intersect the goal set? Explain.
(id=11.4 section=11.2)
5.
[HLA-progression-exercise]
Write an algorithm that takes an initial state (specified by a set of propositional literals) and a sequence of HLAs (each defined by preconditions and angelic specifications of optimistic and pessimistic reachable sets) and computes optimistic and pessimistic descriptions of the reachable set of the sequence
(id=11.5 section=11.2)
11.3: Planning and Acting in Nondeterministic Domains (10 exercises, 2 labelled)
6.
In the following figure :
we showed how to
describe actions in a scheduling problem by using separate fields for DURATION, USE, and CONSUME
Now suppose we
wanted to combine scheduling with nondeterministic planning, which
requires nondeterministic and conditional
effects. Consider each of the three fields and explain if they should
remain separate fields, or if they should become effects of the
action. Give an example for each of the three.
(id=11.0 section=11.3)
7.
Some of the operations in standard programming languages can be
modeled as actions that change the state of the world. For example,
the assignment operation changes the contents of a memory location,
and the print operation changes the state of the output stream. A
program consisting of these operations can also be considered as a
plan, whose goal is given by the specification of the program.
Therefore, planning algorithms can be used to construct programs that
achieve a given specification.
- Write an action schema for the assignment operator (assigning
the value of one variable to another). Remember that the original value will be overwritten!
- Show how object creation can be used by a planner to produce a
plan for exchanging the values of two variables by using a temporary
variable.
(id=11.6 section=11.3)
8.
Consider the following argument: In a framework that allows uncertain
initial states,
nondeterministic effects are just a notational
convenience, not a source of additional representational power. For
any action schema
a with nondeterministic effect (P ∨ Q), we could
always replace it with the conditional effects (R ∨ P) ∧ (¬ R ∨ Q) , which in turn can be reduced to two regular
actions. The proposition
R stands for a random proposition that is
unknown in the initial state and for which there are no sensing
actions. Is this argument correct? Consider separately two cases,
one in which only one instance of action schema
a is in the plan,
the other in which more than one instance is.
(id=11.7 section=11.3)
9.
[conformant-flip-literal-exercise] :
Suppose the
Flip action always changes the truth value of variable
L. Show how to define its effects by using an action schema with conditional effects. Show that, despite the use of conditional effects, a 1-CNF belief state representation remains in 1-CNF after a
Flip
(id=11.8 section=11.3.1)
10.
In the blocks world we were forced to introduce two action schemas
Move and
MoveToTable , in order to maintain the
Clear predicate properly. Show how conditional effects can be used to represent both of these cases with a single action.
(id=11.9 section=11.3.1)
11.
[alt-vacuum-exercise]
Conditional effects were illustrated for the
Suck action in the
vacuum world---which square becomes clean depends on which square the
robot is in. Can you think of a new set of propositional variables to
define states of the vacuum world, such that
Suck has an
unconditional description? Write out the descriptions of
Suck,
Left, and
Right, using your propositions, and demonstrate that they
suffice to describe all possible states of the world.

Find a suitably dirty carpet, free of obstacles, and vacuum it.
Draw the path taken by the vacuum cleaner as accurately as you can.
Explain it, with reference to the forms of planning discussed in this
chapter.
(id=11.11 section=11.3)
13.
Consider the following problem: A patient arrives at the doctor's
office with symptoms that could have been caused either by dehydration
or by disease
D (but not both). There are two possible actions:
Drink, which unconditionally cures dehydration, and
Medicate, which cures disease
D but has an undesirable side effect
if taken when the patient is dehydrated. Write the problem
description, and diagram a sensorless plan that solves the
problem, enumerating all relevant possible worlds.
(id=11.13 section=11.3.1)
14.
To the medication problem in the previous exercise, add a
Test
action that has the conditional effect
CultureGrowth when
Disease is true and in any case has the perceptual effect
Known(CultureGrowth). Diagram a conditional plan that solves the
problem and minimizes the use of the
Medicate action.

Even though I’m not doing an in-depth series of articles on what we were told about the future of education this year, I have decided to pull together a list of all the newsletters I’ve sent out. Going through these can give you a pretty good picture of what’s happened in the last twelve months or so.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international organization committed to improving the web. It is made up of several hundred member organizations from a variety of related IT industries. W3C sets standards for the World Wide Web (WWW) to facilitate interoperability and cooperation among all web stakeholders. It was established in 1994 by the creator of the WWW, Tim Berners-Lee.
The mission of the W3C is to lead the Web to its full potential by developing relevant protocols and guidelines. This is achieved primarily by creating and publishing Web standards. By adopting the Web standards created by the W3C, hardware manufacturers and software developers can ensure their equipment and programs work with the latest Web technologies. For example, most Web browsers incorporate several W3C standards, which allows them to interpret the latest versions of HTML and CSS code. When browsers conform to the W3C standards, it also helps Web pages appear consistent across different browsers.
HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language" is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision and evolution to meet the demands and requirements of the growing Internet audience under the direction of the » W3C, the organisation charged with designing and maintaining the language.
CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets". It is the language for describing the presentation of Web pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. It allows one to adapt the presentation to different types of devices, such as large screens, small screens, or printers. CSS is independent of HTML and can be used with any XML-based markup language. The separation of HTML from CSS makes it easier to maintain sites, share style sheets across pages, and tailor pages to different environments. This is referred to as the separation of structure (or: content) from presentation.


Plotting MetaHeuristics - Basic Use¶
An example plot of :class:`feature_selection.HarmonicSearch
from feature_selection import HarmonicSearch, GeneticAlgorithm
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.svm import SVC
dataset = load_breast_cancer()
X, y = dataset['data'], dataset['target_names'].take(dataset['target'])
# Classifier to be used in the metaheuristic
clf = SVC()
hs = HarmonicSearch(classifier=clf, random_state=0, make_logbook=True,
repeat=2)
ga = GeneticAlgorithm(classifier=clf, random_state=1, make_logbook=True,
repeat=2)
# Fit the classifier
hs.fit(X, y, normalize=True)
ga.fit(X, y, normalize=True)
# I don't know why it's not working
#print("Number of Features Selected: \n \t HS: ", sum(hs.best_mask_)/X.shape[1],
# "% \t GA: ", sum(ga.best_mask_)/X.shape[1], "%")
#print("Accuracy of the classifier: \n \t HS: ", hs.fitness_[0], "\t GA: ",
# ga.fitness_[0])
# Transformed dataset
X_hs = hs.transform(X)
X_ga = ga.transform(X)
# Plot the results of each test
hs.plot_results()
ga.plot_results()
