The Glass Bead Game
by Hermann Hesse (1943). Translated from German to English with evident devotion and expertise by Clara Winston & Richard Winston.
This novel is described by some as the culmination of Hesse's career, for which he received a Nobel Prize for Literature. Many reviews on Goodreads cite it as a life-changing novel, or as a singular all-time favorite book.
I must confess with some sadness that I must have entirely missed the point. I have not enjoyed it at all. The number of books I failed to finish in my life is surely less than five, and this very nearly became one of them.
The first half describes Knecht's education and career within the rarefied academic atmosphere of some distant future European state's "pedagogical province", wherein (exclusively male) scholars devote their time to mastery of the titular game. This relies upon drawing deep relationships between all fields of human study, such as music and biology.
Knecht is talented and likeable, and rises effortlessly through the ranks, without exhibiting any real volition of his own, other than being naturally predisposed to study, and having an instinct for drawing out the best in people. He is ultimately assigned to the highest office in the land, without encountering any substantive antagonist or difficulty along the way.
The mechanics of the game itself, about which all this ostensibly revolves, is deliberately never explained, other than poetic references to glass beads being used to exquisitely interrelate insights or concepts from multiple fields of study.
This first half of the book bored me to absolute tears. If I had to find a single word to describe Knecht, despite his diligence, it would be "inactive".
At the halfway point through the book, this serenity is interrupted by Knecht making the controversial decision to quit, not just from his exalted post, but from the whole system over which it rules. He leaves the insular academic province entirely, to begin a new life, subject to more real-world constraints. Just at this very moment, as the narrative becomes interesting, this section abruptly ends in a very unexpected manner.
Out of the whole book, this moment resonates with me. Knecht has spent a life devoted to scholarly thought, but after many decades he throws off the expectations of that life to forge his own path. Mere days after that decision, a moment of physical exertion proves to be his sudden undoing.
Does this show that Knecht should have more highly valued the protections from the physical world that his intellectual castle provided? That someone raised in such a cosseted environment was unsuitable to face the rigors of the real world? Or should I instead observe that, despite his ostensible success and satisfaction with life, in waiting so long before daring to strike out on his own, and then find days later that his time was up, Knecht has in some ways wasted his life doing something other than what he really wanted to do?
Neither of these seem particularly compelling to me, nor sufficient for the larger themes that I suspect the book might actually be grappling with.
The second half of the book contains various poems, written by Knecht when he was younger, containing premonitions of his aspirations and his doubts. It ends with three short tales, each describing an alternate life that Knecht might have lived in other times. Apparently early drafts had these tales being literal other lives Knecht was reincarnated into. But in the published book, they are presented without context, and I think it is only by consensus that they are commonly understood to be grouped with the earlier poems as examples of Knecht's writing - his imagination of other lives he might have lived.
I did not understand the relevance of these tales to the larger portion of the book, other than the way they forcefully contrast with it, by immersing Knecht in emotional and painful tales of life embedded within a wider society, rather than abstractly observing its achievements from without. As such, they force him into action, and to me they are more engaging for it.
Wikipedia informs me that each of the four tales of Knecht's life focuses on a different basic aspect of analytical psychology: thinking (Magister Ludi), sensation (The Rainmaker), intuition (Indian life) and feeling (The Father Confessor). Similarly, several of the book's characters who had influence on Knecht are thinly-veiled references to real world people, some famous such as Friedrich Nietzsche, others being acquaintances of the author.
All of which seems reasonable, but doesn't really help me understand what I just read. Perhaps each tale of Knecht, in focussing on one human trait, is lacking because it undervalues the other three. Perhaps. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Molecular definition of an elusive third HLA-A9 molecule: HLA-A9.3.
The HLA-A9 family has been characterized as possessing two well defined specificities; HLA-A23 and A24. Serological studies have suggested the presence of a third member of this family HLA-A9.3, however there is doubt surrounding the existence of this specificity. HLA-A23, A24, and the putative A9.3 proteins were analyzed biochemically by immunoprecipitation and isoelectric focusing. Both HLA-A24 and A9.3 have identical isoelectric points whereas A23 is different. We have sequenced cDNA encoding HLA-A23, A24, and A9.3. From the observed protein sequences, we found A9.3 to differ from A24 by two amino acid substitutions located in the alpha 2 helix of the class I molecule. These substitutions are expected to significantly change the shape of the peptide binding cleft.

A Bootstrapping Approach to Assessing the Bias of Facebook’s Graph API
Justin Chun-ting Ho
Changes in Graph API
- On 7 November 2017,
Facebook introduced a new limitation
- The API will only return a maximum of
“600 ranked, published posts per year”
- How these posts are selected is currently unknown
Is it biased?
Spoiler Alert: It is.
The Data
- Scottish National Party’s official Facebook page
- All posts between 1 January - 31 December 2016
- Two Rounds of Data Collection:
7 May 2017 (1031 posts) &
6 April 2018 (598 posts)
- Extracted using Netvizz
(Rieder 2013)
Top Terms Analysis
- Kendall's Tau
- Top terms (n) between 10 and 1500 in steps of 10
- Compare: Full Data vs Bootstrap Samples &
Full Data vs Partial Samples

Ruby Classes
October 18, 2015
What is a ruby class?
Classes are like a class in high school or college. It's specific and does something within the subject. An example would be an American history class would teach everything about American History. In a class called Board, it may contain methods that creates a board or anything that involves a board.
class Board
attr_reader :size
def initialize(size)
@size = size
end
end
new = Board.new(16)
new.size => 16
What's the point?
There are a lot of benefits to using Classes. One benefit is it helps with organization. It's like a blueprint for the code. It also helps with preventing from variables/methods from overlapping from each other. Without using classes and just having multiple methods is like having a messy room. There's things everywhere but not organized.
Classes compared to a real-world object
We can think of classes like a room. So let's say that every bedroom consist of 1 bed, desk, chair, computer, and a tv. This will be in your initialize method (in the class). This means that everytime you create an instance of the class (create a new bedroom), it will have a bed, desk, chair, computer and a tv. The attr_accessor will allow us to change the values of our bed, desk, chair, computer, or tv. We can add more than one chair to our room (change value of our chair). The things (watch tv, sleep, etc) you can do in your bedroom would be the methods in a class. It's the function of the bedroom. We could watch tv, sleep or go on the computer. It's things we can do inside the bedroom (class). Instance variables would be similar to the color of the walls or design of the room. It exists only within that room (instance of the class).
class Bedroom attr_accessor :bed, :desk, :chair, :computer, :computer, :tv, :wallcolor def initialize(name, wallcolor) @name = name @wallcolor = wallcolor @bed = 1 @desk = 1 @chair = 1 @computer = 1 @tv = 1 end def sleep puts "zzzZzzzZzz" end def watch_tv puts "Nothing on tv" end end my_room = Bedroom.new("Jack", white) my_room.bed => 1 my_room.bed = 2 => 2 my_room.sleep => zzzZzzzZzz

title: 'Agile 2009: Performance without Appraisal, Esther Derby'
date: 2009-08-28 00:00:00
categories: business software-development
---
Performance without Appraisal by Esther Derby: Esther writes a lot on this topic and at FP we do the normal quarterly-review thang, which seems quite sluggish, so I was curious to hear about alternatives.
- How do you know your appraisal process is working? Most people say it doesn't work, but everyone does the same sort of thing anyway;
- People believe performance can be measured objectively; but measure any one thing and you encourage it to be gamed - plus the stuff that's easy to count, doesn't count (e.g. Lines of Code generated) and contributions aren't always visible;
- The data says it's virtually impossible to objectively measure performance;
- What do we really want: high team performance, or knowing who to blame?
- Most annual evaluations lead to an unhelpful label and in any case telling people they're below average triggers defensiveness and stops them listening;
- Annual feedback is far too slow - you need specific information, close to the event, for it to be useful;
- Improving individuals doesn't improve organisations! The law of crappy systems: "a crappy system will inhibit the ability of the most competent team to perform";
- Behaviour is a function of the person and the environment; how we work has both social and technical aspects;
- So make feedback "business as usual"; ensure it's specific, actionable information, and make sure it flows both ways (not just down the org chart);
Esther referenced an article on her site on how to create safe environments in which feedback can flow around, but I can't for the life of me determine which one of these pieces it is. Will just had to read them all, sigh... ;)


Verified Graduate
I receive a job offer mid-course, and the subject i learned where current , if not more so, in the company i joined. I honestly feel i got every panny's worth
"I was an EMT for many years before i joined the bootcamp i have been looking to make a transition and have heard some people who had an amazing experience here. I signed up for the free intro course and found it incredibly fun! I enrolled shortly thereafter. The next 12 weeks was the best - and most grueling - time of my life. Since completing the course, I’ve successfully switched careers, working as a Software Engineer at a VR startup."
Verified Graduate
The team was very supportive and kept me motivated
“ I started as a total newbie with virtually no coding skills. I now work as a mobile engineer for a big company. This was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. ”
Verified Graduate
An overall wonderful and rewarding experience
“ Thank you for the wonderful experience! I now have a job I really enjoy, and make a good living while doing something I love. ”
Verified Graduate
Awesome teaching support from TAs who did the bootcamp themselves. Getting guidance from them and learning from their experiences was easy.
“ The staff seem genuinely concerned about my progress which I find really refreshing. The program gave me the confidence necessary to be able to go out in the world and present myself as a capable junior developer. The standard is above the rest. You will get the personal attention you need from an incredible community of smart and amazing people. ”
Verified Graduate
Such a life-changing experience. Highly recommended!
“ Before joining the bootcamp, I’ve never written a line of code. I needed some structure from professionals who can help me learn programming step by step. I was encouraged to enroll by a former student of theirs who can only say wonderful things about the program. The entire curriculum and staff did not disappoint. They were very hands-on and I never had to wait long for assistance. The agile team project, in particular, was outstanding. It took my learning to the next level in a way that no tutorial could ever have. In fact, I’ve often referred to it during interviews as an example of my developent experience. It certainly helped me land a job as a full-stack developer after receiving multiple offers. 100% recommend! ”

Up to date information and guidance for innovators.
{{ contentsList({ items: [ { href: "#how-the-nhs-is-structured", text: "How the NHS is structured" }, { href: "#what-innovations-does-the-nhs-need", text: "What innovations does the NHS need?" }, { href: "#sources-of-funding", text: "Sources of funding" }, { href: "#latest-news-and-information", text: "Latest news and information" } ] }) }}It’s important to remember that the NHS is not one big organisation, but lots of organisations which commission and provide healthcare.
Each organisation has their own needs, processes and infrastructure. This influences what types of innovations they are looking for, and how they go about procuring and implementing them.
The national priorities of the NHS are shared with the different regions of the UK. Each region also has their own local needs. This is why it’s worth knowing both the “big picture” priorities, as well as specific needs and issues locally.
The King’s Fund have produced a video that explains the structure of the NHS.
The James Lind Alliance and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) set priorities for certain conditions in partnership with patients.
If you are looking to create an innovation that looks at a specific condition or with specific patient groups, relevant charities will often be able to advise and sometimes offer targeted support or funding. Regional needs in England
Healthcare providers and commissioners in England work with the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) to find innovations that meet their specific priorities. Where there is nothing available that meets their needs, AHSNs may publish challenges or calls for ideas, some of which are local and some apply nationally.
NHS England undertook a Research Needs Assessment in 2018 which identified research themes in the priority areas of Urgent and Emergency Care, Diabetes, Cancer, Mental Health, Primary Care, Nursing and Medical Directorate’s.
The NHS Long Term Plan published in 2017 sets the strategic direction for the NHS over the following decade. The most relevant strategies or goals for innovators in the Long-Term Plan are:
The three strategic priorities of the current Secretary of State, Matt Hancock, are prevention, workforce and technology, with policy papers published on two of these:
The Topol review provides the most relevant information on preparing the workforce in healthcare for the future
Funding for research, development and implementation of an innovation can be fragmented and is provided by a range of government and arms-length bodies, private investors and banks.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) publish regular updates on the latest regulatory information on their blog.
The Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) maintain a news section that provides general innovation news from both national and local sources.
NHS England and the Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) run regular events for innovators in the UK.


Hi Kakul, I thought I'd share with you why GitHub is meaningful to me and what I think I could bring to the product team...
Aside from being able to browse the world's biggest collection of open-source software, version control allows users to follow its development. Opening GitHub is like walking into a constantly-updating, global library that I can contribute to.
I see GitHub's primary goal as helping people work together. GitHub is code, but ultimately you're innovating and removing friction from collaboration. I think the solutions to the challenges we face as a planet will come from this kind of open team workflow.
I'm not sure Apple would've made Swift open-source if it wasn't for GitHub. And Java certainly wouldn't be as ubiquitous. And I wouldn't be using Bootstrap for this site. GitHub helps make open-source the default. This availability of these tools democratizes software development and innovation - a big win.
I've used GitHub for issue tracking, to manage engineers, to manage my own code, to code collaboratively. I've used it to find and learn new libraries, to pick a d3 layout to use, to see what my friends are building.
I have the experience of building a funded, 17-person company (starting with just me and a laptop). I have the experience of managing a remote team of engineers, of motivating a team after a pivot, of exciting investors about a product vision and of dissolving a company.
I feel as comfortable positioning products as I do writing AJAX post requests as I do designing mockups and measuring CACs and MAUs. I want to build meaningful products and am curious about anything that can help me do that better.

FOR DELIVERY
Mother’s day is around the corner and my excitement goes up by several notches at the
thought of all the pink and floral creations that I will find an excuse to make.
If only I could have them delivered to my own Mummy who lives in an
entirely different continent.Coming to this cake, I had intended to post
the recipe during Valentine’s Day but later on felt that it might be more
suited to a Mother’s Day kind of occasion. Something light, aromatic,
delicate and very delicious.The rosewater-pistachio-honey
combination are a bomb together.
Glittering, glowing and shiny things are a favourite around these parts.
Yeah, if I had an option I would serve my roast chicken with gold dust and maybe
some sprinkles. Hahaha! So much for my edible fantasies. On a serious note, what
can be more precious than your Mum? So it is only fitting that I create
golden cupcakes to celebrate her.

Processes the incoming community addon registration request object. Validation rules:
- If jive.context.config['development'] == true, addon registration validation will be skipped.
- If not, then registration.jiveSignatureURL will be invoked to validate the registration block. Failure will cause the return promise reject callback to be fired.
Upon successful registration, a community object will be persisted or updated (if one already exists) based on the contents of the registration object.
Parameters:
Name Type Description registration
Object Community addon registration object.
Properties
Name Type Description jiveSignature
String Signature provided by Jive used for registration validation.
clientSecret
String Secret provided by the addon service.
jiveSignatureURL
String URL used for validating the registration.
jiveUrl
String URL of the originating Jive community.
tenantId
String Tenant ID of the originating Jive community. This is a durable, global ID.
clientId
String Client ID assigned by the Jive community to the addon as part of this registration request.
clientSecret
String Client Secret assigned by the Jive community to the addon as part of this registration request.
authorizationCode
String Optional. If provided, the system will automatically attempt an OAuth2 access and refresh token exchange with the originating Jive community using this authorization code. The code will be persisted along with the community object associated with this registration call.

Class for writing a data stream to SD card.
You normally instantiate one of these as a global variable, passing in the SdFat object and the parameters you'd normally pass to SdFat::begin().
You can pass additional options using the fluent-style methods beginning with "with" like withLogsDirName().
This class is a subclass of Print, so you can use all of the overloads of print, println, and printf that are supported by Print. Data is buffered until the
, then written to the card, for performance reasons and to avoid splitting a line between multiple files.
|
inline |
Checks the result of the last time sd.begin() was called.
This call determines whether the last call to sd.begin() succeeded or not. You might do this if you also need to call SdFat from your own code. This library needs to call sd.begin() internally to do it very early, and also after the SD card is ejected.
|
inline |
The number of milliseconds to between checks to see if the SD card is present. Default: 10000.
When you remove the SD card, it's necessary to reinitialize the SdFat library and check for the card. Because of timeouts, this takes a while, so logging would become very slow if every attempt to log caused this delay. The card check period reduces the frequency of checking to see if a card has been inserted.
Note that as long as you leave the card in, you won't experience this.
| value | The time in milliseconds (unsigned ling) |
|
inline |
Desired file size in bytes. Default: 1000000 bytes (1 MB)
Each log file will be approximately this size. It typically will be slightly larger than this, as the log is rotated when the size is exceeded. If changed, it will only be enforced for the current log file; old log files are not modified.
| value | The maximum file size for a log file in bytes (size_t) |
|
inline |
Sets the log directory name. Default: "logs".
The logs must always be in a subdirectory, so make sure you set it to something, setting it to an empty string or NULL will disable logging.
| value | The name to use instead of "logs" (const char *). This is not copied, as a constant string is normally passed in. If you calculate it, make sure you put it in a static or allocated buffer! |
|
inline |
The number of files to keep. Default: 10.
The maximum number of log files to keep is enforced at startup, when a SD card is inserted, and when the current log file is full.
| value | Number of files to kee. Values are 1 <= num <= 999999 (size_t) |
|
inline |
The default is to log to Serial as well as SD card; to only log to SD card call this method.
If you want to log to a different stream (like Serial1), use withWriteToStream() instead.
|
inline |
Set whether to sync the file system after every log entry. Default: true.
Setting this to false dramatically improves the performance, but it also makes it much more likely that in the case of a reboot, the last log messages will be lost. The SdFat library normally only flushes the file in 512 byte increments so if you log infrequently, you could lose a number of log messages.
| value | The value to set (size_t) |
|
inline |
Write to a different Stream, such as Serial1. Default: Serial.
| value | The stream to write log output to (such as &Serial1) or NULL to only write to the SD card. |
Only one stream is supported. Setting it again replaces the last setting.

title: Invertible
---
A linear transformation $T:U\to U$ is invertible if there exists a linear transformation $T^{-1}:U\to U$ such that $TT^{-1}=T^{-1}T=I$.
Furthermore if $T:V\to V$, where $V$ is finite dimensional, is left or right invertible, then $T$ is invertible.
Concepts
As usual a function is invertible if and only if its bijective. This means that if $R$ is invertible, then $R$ has no zero rows (if it has zero rows, it would not be subjective).
For infinite matrices, it's possible that it is only left or right invertible, but not the other. For instance,
$$\begin{align*}
A=\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 & \dots \\
1 & 0 & 0 & \dots \\
0 & 1 & 0 & \dots \\
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots &\ddots
\end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}$$
$A$ is left invertible but it is not right invertible.
If $A$ and $B$ are invertible, then so is $AB$, where $(AB)^{-1}=B^{-1}A^{-1}$. This holds for a an arbitrary number of matrices.
The inverse is calculated using block matrices. Let $R$ be a row reduced echelon matrix that is row equivalent to $A$. Note that $A$ is invertible if and only if $R$ is the identity matrix.
There also exists a matrix $P$ which is the product of elementary matrices such that $R=PA$, as $R$ is row equivalent to $A$. Since $R=I_n$, this implies that $P=A^{-1}$.
We form an augmented matrix, $[A|I_n]$. Multiplying this augmented matrix by $P$ then gives the new augmented matrix
$$\begin{align*}
P[A|I_n] &= [PA| P]\\
&=[R|P]\\
&=[I_n|P],
\end{align*}$$
and so $[A|I_n]$ is row equivalent to $[I_n|P]$
Hence to compute $A^{-1}$, we form the augmented matrix $[A|I_n]$ then row reduce until we get an augmeted matrix of the form $[I_n|A]$.
Hypothesis
- If a matrix $A$ such that $A^k=I_n$ for some $k$, then $A$ is diagonalizable and stuff
- If $f:X\to Y$ is a function, it has an inverse $P^{-1}:Y\to X$ if and only if $f$ is injective
Results
- If $f:X\to Y$ is a function, it has an inverse $P^{-1}:Y\to X$ if and only if $f$ is injective


How was last week's homework? Do you have any questions or concepts that you'd like to discuss?
There are three main types:
new_range = (1..10)
new_array = [1, 3, 5]
new_hash = {"dog" => "snoopy", "bird" => "woodstock"}
inclusive_range = (1..3) # contains 1, 2, 3
exclusive_range = (1...3) # contains 1, 2
letter_range = ('a'..'e') # contains 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'
Ranges are simply the range of values between the given first and last elements.
Inclusive ranges have two dots, and include the last element. Exclusive ranges have three dots, and do not include the last element.
Ranges need to be defined from lowest value to highest.
Try out these range methods in IRB.
(1..99).max
('b'...'z').include?('j')
(890..902).begin
(890..902).first(4)
(890..902).last(3)
(890..902).end
(28..22).min
('a'...'g').each do |l|
puts "#{l} is a pretty good letter"
end
(22..28).to_a
Learn more about ranges here.
Arrays have square brackets and can be filled with any type of object: integers, floats, strings, even other arrays or hashes.
new_array = [1, 3, 5, 89, 212, 7, -100]
arr = ["wow", "woooo", "zowie"]
array = Array.new #will have no elements inside it initially
varied_array = ["one", 2, "THREE", 0.4, ["five", 6]]
# methods to get information about an array
new_array.length
new_array.count
arr.include?("yee ha")
Arrays are a great way to keep track of information that changes frequently.
Arrays are ordered and are integer-indexed, starting at 0.
Elements can be accessed by their position.
new_array = [1, 3, "wow", 5, "cool", 212, 7, -100]
new_array[0] # returns the zeroth element
new_array[2] # returns the third element
new_array[-1] # returns the last (1st from the end) element
new_array.last # returns the last element
new_array.first # returns the first element
Adding and removing items to an array can be done in a variety of ways. These are the most common.
new_array = ["wow", "woooo", "zowie"]
#add
new_array.push("hot diggity") # adds argument as last element
new_array << "yikes" # adds argument as last element
#remove
new_array.delete("wow") # deletes the element that matches argument
new_array.pop # removes and returns the last element
Arrays are used a lot in Ruby. There are a lot of cool methods available for them.
arr = ["dog", "cat", "turtle", "parakeet", "ferret"]
arr.index("dog") # returns the index of the element that matches argument
arr.join # returns a string made up of all the elements
arr.clear # removes all elements from the array
arr.reverse # returns new array with same elements, reversed
arr.shuffle # returns new array with same elements, shuffled
arr.uniq # returns a new array with only unique elements
arr.size # returns the number of elements in the array
arr.empty? # returns a boolean
Learn more about arrays here.
Hashes have curly braces and hash rockets and can be filled with any data type: integers, floats, strings, even arrays and hashes.
grades_hash = { "Jane Doe" => 10, "Jim Doe" => 6, "Jan Doe" => 8}
# methods to find information about hashes
grades_hash.length
grades_hash.count
grades_hash.size
grades_hash.has_key?("Jan Doe")
grades_hash.has_value?(10)
Syntax:
{ key => value, key => value }
Hashes are unordered. Hashes are like dictionaries, with unique key / value pairs.
Because hashes can have any type of object as an idex, and are unordered, we must access values by their key.
grades_hash = { "Jane Doe" => 10, "Jim Doe" => 6, "Jan Doe" => 8}
grades_hash["Jane Doe"] # returns 10, the value of this key
grades_hash["Jim Doe"] # returns 6, the value of this key
grades_hash.first # returns first key/value pair... probably
new_hash = { 1 => "a", "d" => 12, "f" => 35 }
# add
new_hash["z"] = 43 # adds a new key/value pair "z" => 43
#remove
new_hash.delete("d") # removes key/value pair with specified key
new_hash.clear # removes all key/value pairs
chapters = {"My Early Home" => (1..15), "The Hunt" => (16..28),
"My Breaking In" => (29..46), "Birtwick Park" => (46..60)}
chapters.count # returns number of key/value pairs in hash
chapters.keys # returns an array of all the keys in hash
chapters.has_key?("How It Ended") # returns a boolean
chapters.invert # returns new hash with old one's values
# and keys swapped!
Learn more about hashes here.
Arrays and Hashes are both members of the Enumerable class. There are a lot of cool methods available for Enumerable, including each.
This is the simplest!
(3..8).each do |n|
puts n * 4
end
Can be simple or more complex, depending on the array.
pets_array = ["dog", "cat", "turtle", "parakeet", "ferret"]
pets_array.each do |p|
puts "I like #{p}s!!"
end
Each element has a key and value that needs to be dealt with.
grades_hash = { "Jane Doe" => 10, "Jim Doe" => 6, "Jan Doe" => 8}
grades_hash.each do |key, value|
puts "#{key}'s grade is #{value}"
end
Visit this page and copy the contents of the Gist to a local file. Save it as pets.rb. We'll work with it together.
Two ways to use this file:
load 'pets.rb'
ruby 'pets.rb'
Returns an array with the results of running the block on each element. Can be used interchangably.
$pets.collect{|p| p[:name]} # returns array of all pet names
$pets.map{|p| p[:talents]} # returns array of all pets' talents
Returns an array with all elements that did or did not meet the critera in code block.
$pets.reject{|p| p[:talents].include?("napping") }
# returns array of pets whose talents do not include napping
$pets.select{|p| p[:breed] == "Slug"}
#returns array of all pets that have a breed of Slug

Real-Time Collaborative Robot Handling
Rui Chen*, Alvin Shek*, Changliu Liu
Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) 2022
Intro
With the advancement of robotic technologies, robots are getting out of cages and directly working with humans. One immediate application of collaborative robot (cobot) is material handling where the robot moves or presents a workpiece under human commands in real time. It is particularly useful when the material to handle is heavy, as in automotive assembly, or when the material needs to stay untouched by human, as in the case of food production, or when there are safety risks, as in the case of dangerous liquid.
Existing interfaces with robots such as keyboards and joysticks require either tedious integration efforts or programming expertise and can hardly be used in real- time. Other interfaces such as voice or static hand gestures are more user intuitive and require no technical skills to be learned beforehand. Static gestures, however, are limited to generating discrete motion primitives rather than real-time, continuous movements and thus limit the flexibility of robot behavior. Our approach is unique in this aspect by handling continuous, dynamic gestures.
Framework
The above video shows me demonstrating the final performance of our model. As I perform various hand motions that involve multiple Cartesian dimesnsions at the same time (ex: translating from left to right while rotating), we see that the model is able to interpret this correctly and infer the correct robot motion. Specfically, our model takes as input 6D translational and rotational velocities of each finger and palm of the right hand, which we calculate from OpenPose finger keypoint positions. Our model then outputs 6D translational and rotational velocities of the robot end-effector.
To train this model, we collected data from a series of human-human collaboration trials. One user would watch an animation of the desired motion of a box and would try generating the hand motion to match this. A second user would interpret the first user's hand motions and move a real, physical box whose 6D pose would be tracked. As a result, we would obtain both the hand motion input to the model as well as the ground truth object motion representing the robot end effector.
Probabilistic Formulation: Generative Process
There are several key challenges in interpreting human commands. First, people think and act differently, and this can cause different users' hand motion styles to vary drastically. Machine Learning models expect inputs to come from a distribution that matches what was seen at training. The diversity in user styles means that a new user's style may not have been seen at training, which can cause unpredictable model outputs. To handle this diversity, we draw inspiration from Attentive Neural Processes by training our model to condition on some prior "context" or calibration data collected by previous users. The idea is that the model can reference previously seen data to help it interpret new user data. This is done through an attention mechanism over LSTM hidden states that capture latent features of a time series of both hand and desired object motion. Please see the "Encoder Cell" under Section V.A of our paper for more details.
Another challenge is in modeling human motion uncertainty. Given the exact same desired object motion, a human may execute different hand motions in different trials. Our model needs to handle this stochasticity in the expert demonstration. We formulate our problem as a generative process with the goal of maximizing the expected log-probability of the ground truth object motion when conditioned on the input hand motion. Please see Eqn. 4 in our paper for details.
A final challenge is that our robot will operate in close proximity to humans. From a human perspective, it is easy to predict the behavior of smooth motions but not sharp, sudden motions. As a result, we need our learned robot policy to also output smooth, continuous motions. We achieve this by formulating our generative process to condition also on the previous model output. This way, our model's future output is dependent on its previous output. We train this dependency using Teacher Forcing.
Conclusion
This project helped me realize the many challenges of interacting with humans that collaborative robots must address. Many more issues exist that were not covered in this project, and I am currently exploring these further as a part of my masters thesis.

St George’s mushrooms get their name from the fact that they start appearing around St George’s Day on April 23nd. Combined with the flavour of wild garlic and garnished with garlic flowers, this posh mushroom and liver on toast gives a real taste of spring.
Put the chicken livers in a bowl and cover with milk. Leave in the fridge overnight. This will remove the bitterness.
For the chicken liver pâté, cook the red wine with the shallot and thyme in a pan until the volume of liquid has reduced by half.
Melt a knob of the butter in a hot pan and fry the livers until cooked but still slightly pink in the middle. Remove the livers and add the rest of the butter and the garlic to the same pan. Heat to melt.
Add the red wine reduction, livers and melted butter to a food processor. Blend until smooth then transfer to a clean bowl. Chill in the fridge for at least eight hours, or until set.
For the St George's mushrooms, add a little oil to a hot pan and fry the mushrooms face-side down to colour.
Add the butter and the chicken stock. Cook until the chicken stock has reduced slightly and glazes the mushrooms. Add the chopped parsley.
Heat a griddle pan until hot and toast the bread in the pan.
Mix the garlic leaves into the mushrooms and cook for a minute until wilted, similar to spinach.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the pâté onto it. Top with the mushrooms and garlic leaves.
Garnish with wild garlic flowers and grated parmesan.
