THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS A movie review by Joe Barlow (c) Copyright 1999
STARRING: Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn, John Cleese DIRECTOR: Sam Weisman WRITER: Marc Lawrence (based on the screenplay by Neil Simon) RATED: PG-13 RELEASED: 1999
RATING: *** (out of a possible ****)
Ever have one of those days? I'm not referring to a mere "bad day"-- we all have those on occasion, and in the end things usually work out okay. No, I'm talking about the kind of day where the universe itself seems to be on a personal vendetta against you; when life flings catastrophe at you like bread crumbs at a duck pond; when you'd give anything to be having ONLY a "bad day."
Henry Clark (Steve Martin) isn't merely having one of those days; he's having one of those *lives*. He no longer knows how to relate to Nancy (Goldie Hawn), his wife of twenty-four years. His daughter has dropped out of medical school to pursue an acting career. He's recently been fired from his job, although he's afraid to tell Nancy. And his son Alan (Oliver Hudson, the real-life son of Goldie Hawn) is about to move to London, which will leave the house empty except for Henry and his wife... a thought which terrifies the couple, since they will now be forced to communicate with each other. So when Henry gets an interview with an advertising firm in New York City, a land of golden opportunities, he and Nancy think it may be a sign that their luck is about to change. They are correct: it's about to get much, much worse.
The trip starts off with a bad omen: their plane is rerouted to Boston due to heavy fog, an event which will eventually result in Henry and Nancy arriving in the Big Apple with no money, no credit, no food, no clothes, no patience, and no idea how to resolve their predicament. From this moment on, "The Out-of-Towners" shifts gears into slapstick comedy while a never-ending string of disasters besets our weary, hungry couple: Rest assured that anytime Henry or Nancy enter a new locale, something horrible is about to happen to them. I sighed. Since the film seemed to be in the process of settling into a rut of cheap comedic payoff, my expectations plummeted.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the lowest common denominator: Henry and Nancy came to life on the screen! I found that against all logic, I was actually becoming interested in the fate of our two lead characters, and started cheering for them to triumph over their circumstances. Credit Martin and Hawn, last seen together in 1992's "Housesitter," for possessing a plethora of screen chemistry and the ability to rise above a screenplay that has no sense of restraint. Somehow, their characters find the time to experience the beauty and pulse of New York, despite all the wretchedness they're going through. This could be the reason I liked them so much: I'm dreadfully tired of movies in which the people do nothing but whine.
Director Sam Weisman ("George of the Jungle") repeatedly stages the movie's most intimate moments in public places: in hotel lobbies, on sidewalks, in Central Park, on crowded airplanes, etc. It's an interesting choice, perhaps intending to reflect an urban culture in which privacy is a privilege, not a right. Through Henry and Nancy's public displays of emotion (both good and bad), we understand and identify with the frustrations of these two wonderful people. Hawn brings a fiery streak to Nancy, giving her an impressive dramatic flair (I liked the scene in which she attempts to seduce a businessman (Mark McKinney) in a madcap plan to obtain some food), while Martin has imbued the loveable Henry with the fierce sense of sarcasm he (Martin) displayed so hilariously in "The Muppet Movie." For example, during an exchange with an auto-rental clerk:
CLERK: "Our cars are very safe. They practically drive themselves." HENRY: "That's great." CLERK: "Would like you collision insurance?" HENRY:"If the car drives itself, wouldn't any accident be its fault?"
"Monty Python's" John Cleese is also wonderfully evil in his extended cameo as Mr. Mersault, a snooty hotel clerk whose driving passion seems to be making the Clarks' lives miserable.
"The Out-of-Towners" is based on Arthur Miller's 1970 film of the same name, which starred Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis in the lead roles. I haven't seen the original movie, and have no idea how faithful this version is to it, but I must admit that I had a good time. The cast is absolutely wonderful, the dialogue has teeth, and if the film occasionally borders on absurdity, then hey, so does life.
"The Out-of-Towners" is marvelous fun, and I laughed both loudly and often. And how wonderful to see a romantic comedy that has the guts to cast two middle-age actors in the lead roles! The way Hollywood seems to make movies, one would think that all hormones magically evaporate from the human body around age 35. Kudos to someone for telling it like it is.

We are happy to announce that Spincast now has a plugin to generate
OpenAPI / Swagger specifications!
This allows you to document a REST API
developed using Spincast easily.
The plugin, Spincast OpenAPI Bottom Up,
uses a bottom-up approach (also called "code first" approach) as it starts from the code
of your application to generate the associated OpenAPI specifications as JSON
or as YAML
.
This plugin reuses a lot of code from the battle-tested and well-maintained official Swagger Core reference implementation. Doing so, the plugin should respect the OpenAPI specifications very well and should also be future-proof.


As part of the transition to create a fully digital claims experience, the customer needed a solution to indicate a need for water clean up services and later how they prefer to get an inspection of their home. What started as a simple form design soon morphed as business requirements shifted and different aspects were re-prioritized.
I started by creating UserZoom studies to gauge customers' sentiment and better emapathize with them when trying to find someone to fix your damaged home.
The results from the study showed I needed to be sure that insurance jargon was reduced to a minimum to reduce the customer's cognitive load -- how they view the claim process and how the insurer views the process differ greatly.
On top of keeping up with the changing business partner requirements, this project also challenged me to keep the larger Information Architecture in mind as this project was a small applet wihthin the overarching digital claims flow.
After many rounds of critique and design, business injects, and development constraints, I put forward a form flow as the best solution.
While seemingly simple, the flow guides the customer through the initial phase of the claim process and puts them on track to getting back to normal by better explaining what their insurer is going to do for them and where to start.
User testing showed that customers better understood what to expect next in their claim, who would be contacting them, and what they could do to keep their claim moving forward.

Apparently, all Jim Edmonds needs to do is pass a physical and he'll be a member of the Chicago Cubs. I have disliked Jim Edmonds for years. I'm sure he's thrilled to be reunited with Jason Marquis (see below).
His highlight reel catches are a product of him being slow, he has to dive for nearly every ball hit to Center Field. I understand the need for power out of a lefty, but I really don't think Edmonds is the way to go. I hate to see Reed Johnson on the bench and he's the odd man out. Well, I guess Pie is literally the odd man out as he'll be sent back to Triple A Iowa.
I just don't feel that our lack of power out of a lefty is a massive issue right now. The fact we don't have a full rotation of starters seems to me to be a more pressing issue.
But if Jim Edmonds wears blue pinstripes, I will root him on. It's going to be hard for me to stomach. Besides Barry Bonds and AJ Pierzynski, Jim Edmonds is probably my least favorite player. He is playing so poorly that he was cut by the worst team in baseball, but apparently Jim Hendry has a plan. Like they say, Jim "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". We're scoring runs just fine.

Start by creating and then including in global scope your JS callback, which should take, as an argument, the response object: ```javascript function myAwesomeCallback(response) { console.log(response.data.amount_settled); } ``` (It's worth noting that this function is globally available, meaning that anyone can call it by simply opening the console. Don't use it for anything that needs to be very secure, and instead consider a webhook). You will then add `callback="myAwesomeCallback"` as an attribute of your `script` tag (note that we are passing it as a function, rather than calling it; note also that you can name this callback whatever you want): ```markdown ``` The response object we pass into the callback has a `success` boolean attribute as well as a `data` attribute, which in turn is a JSON object that matches the response from our [charge a token](https://paymentspring.com/developers/#charge-a-token) endpoint (see the "Sample Responses" tab). See it in action below.

Bodybuilding Workout
Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature by muscle hypertrophy for aesthetic purposes. It is distinct from similar activities such as powerlifting because it focuses on physical appearance instead of strength.
Calisthenics Workout
Calisthenics or callisthenics is a form of strength training consisting of a variety of movements that exercise large muscle groups, such as standing, grasping, pushing, etc. These exercises are often performed rhythmically and with minimal equipment, as bodyweight exercises.
Crossfit Workout
crossfit is a mix of Bodyweight and Weighted workouts, it's a form of high intensity interval training, CrossFit is a strength and conditioning workout that is made up of functional movement performed at a high intensity.

finding_markers.Rmd
We base our importances on the “classification value” they give to a random forest (using the implementation in the ranger
package)
So lets fit the random forest … Here we are adding the warn.imp.method
to prevent a warning message sent by ranger
when most of the variables are correlated with the clustering.
Please reffer to the of the importance_pvalues
section in the ranger documentation when addressing this issue and for more details.

## Warning: The following arguments are not used: uniq, cells.use

Framework
Given
- Instance domain \(X\) and target space \(Y\) (ex. \(\R^d\), \(\R^k\), \(d\gg k\)).
- Unknown distribution \(D\) on domain \(X\). (NOT assumed to be generated by a function in \(H\).)
- Hypothesis class of decoding and encoding pairs \[ H \subeq \{X\to Y\}\times \{Y\to X\}.\]
- Loss function \(l:H\times X\to \R_{\ge0}\). (Ex. \(\ell_2\) loss \(\ve{g(h(x))-x}_2^2\).
- Define \[
\text{loss}_D(f) = \EE_{x\sim D} l(f,x).
\]
- Define sample loss \[
\text{loss}_S(f) = \rc m \sum_{x\in S}l(f,x).
\]
\(D,X\) is \((k,\ga)\) \(C\)-learnable wrt \(H\) if there exists an algorithm that given \(\de,\ep>0\), after seeing \(m(\ep, \de) = \poly\pa{\rc \ep, \ln \prc{\de}, d}\) examples, returns \((h,g)\) (NOT necessarily in \(H\)) such that
- wp \(\ge 1-\de\), \[\text{loss}_D((h,g)) \le \min_{(h,g)\in H} \text{loss}_D((h,g)) + \ep + \ga.\]
- \(h\) has an explicit representation with \(\le k\) bits.
(\(\ga\) is the bias.)
(Q: ? how to understand “\(\le k\)” bits?)
Generalization theory
\[\begin{align}
\wh f_{ERM} &= \amin_{f\in H} \text{loss}_S(\wh f)\\
R_{S,l}(H) &= \EE_{\si\sim \{\pm 1\}^m} \ba{
\sup_{f\in H} \rc m \sum_{x\in S}\si_i l(f,x)
}\\

PCA
For
\(H_k^{pca}\),
\[\begin{align}
X&=\R^n\\
Y&=\R^k\\
h(x) &= Ax\\
g(y) &= A^+y\\
l((g,h),x) & = \ve{(A^+A - I)x}^2.
\end{align}\]
For \(H_{k,s}^{pca}\), replace \(d\) by \(d^s\), \(x\) by \(x^{\ot s}\).
\(H_{k,s}^{pca}\) is efficiently \((k,0)\) C-learnable.
(Proof: Use SVD. Rademacher complexity is \(O\pf{d^s}{m}\).)
Spectral autoencoder
For
\(H_{k,s}^{s,a}\),
\[\begin{align}
h(x) &= Ax^{\ot s},& A&\in \R^{k\times d^s}\\
g(y) &= v_{\max}(By),& B&\in \R^{d^s\times k}
\end{align}\]
where \(v_{\max}\) is max eigenvector of tensor.
For \(s=2\):
\(D\) is \((k,\ep)\)-regularly spectral decodable \(A\in \R^{k\times d^2}\), \(B\in \R^{d^2\times k}\) with \(\ve{BA}\le \tau\) such that for \(x\sim D\), \[ M(BAx^{\ot 2}) = xx^T + E, \quad \ve{E}\le \ep.\] Here \(M\) means matrix representation.
(order of qualifiers for \(\tau\)?)
\(H_{k,2}^{sa}\) is \(\pa{O\pa{\tau^4k^4}{\de^4}, \de}\) \(C\)-learnable in poly-time.
Proof.
- Rademacher complexity bound for \(\Phi = \set{\ve{Rx^{\ot 2}-x^{\ot 2}}}{\ve{R}_{S_1}\le \tau k}\): \[R_m(\Phi) \le 2\tau k \sfc1m.\] (CHECK. Omitted.)
- \(L^2\) bound on \(x\) gives \(L^1\) bound on \(x^{\ot 2}\), which is why we need \(S_1\) bound.
- \(f(R) := \E[\ve{Rx^{\ot 2}-x^{\ot 2}}]\) is convex and 1-Lipschitz.
- Proof. \((u\ot v)(x^{\ot 2}^T)\) is a subgradient, where \(u,v\in \R^d\) are top left/right singular vectors of \(M(Rx^{\ot 2} - x^{\ot 2})\).
- Optimization: Use (non-smooth) Frank-Wolfe algorithm (CHECK).
- Each update is rank 1.
- \(R^*\) is a feasible solution with \(\ve{R^*}_{S_1}\le \rank(R^*)\ve{R}\le \tau k\), so the diameter of \(\Phi\) is \(\le \tau k\).
- \(f\) is 1-Lipschitz.
- In \(O\pf{\tau^4k^4}{\de^4}\) steps get \(\wh R\) with \(f(\wh R)\le \de + \ep\).
Dictionary learning
\[\begin{align}
h_A(x) &= \amin{\ve{y}_\be\le k} \rc d |x-Ay|\\
g_A(y) &= Ay\\
A&= \amin_{\ve{A}_\al \le c_\al}
\EE_{x\sim D} \ba{
\min_{y\in \R^r: \ve{y}_\be \le k} \rc d |x-Ay|_1
}.
\end{align}\]
Ex. \(\ved_\al\) is max (column \(\ell_2\) or \(\ell_\iy\) norm) and \(\ved_b\) is \(\ell_0\).
Here, use max column \(\ell_\iy\) norm (i.e., \(\ell_1\to \ell_\iy\)) for \(A\) and \(\ell_1\) norm for \(B\). (Q: How does this compare to usual setting? \(\ell_1\) norm is looser than \(\ell_0\), OK. \(\ell_\iy\) is also looser than \(\ell_2\).)
For any \(\de>0, p\ge 1\), \(H_k^{dict}\) is C-learnable with encoding length \(\wt O\pf{k^2 r^{\rc p}}{\de^2}\), bias \(\de+ O(\ep^*)\), and sample complexity \(d^{O(p)}\) in time \(n^{O(p^2)}\).
Interpretation:
- For \(p\to \iy\), get \(\wt \pf{k^2}{\de^2}\). Can get nontrivial approximation by taking \(\de = o(\sqrt k)\), so can get close to \(k\). This makes sense thinking of the input as \(k\)-sparse.
Note this isn’t doing “dictionary learning” in the usual sense of finding the dictionary. It only shows that you can reduce dimension and still preserve information. It does not “undo” the dictionary multiplication and give a useful representation, only a succinct one.
Group encoding and decoding
This is a simpler algorithm which achieves a weaker goal of encoding multiple examples at a time.
Given \(N\) points \(X\in \R^{d\times N}\sim D^N\), convex set \(Q\),
- Group encoding \(h(X)\):
- Compute \(Z=\amin{C\in Q} |X-C|_1\).
- Random sample \(B\) taking each entry with probability \(\rh\), \(Y=P_{\Om}(Z)\).
- Group decoding \(g(Y)\):
- \(\amin_{C\in Q} |P_\Om(C)-Y|_1\).
We need a conex relaxation \(Q\) \[
\set{g_{A^*}(h_{A^*}(X))}{X\in \R^{d\times N}} \sub
\set{AY}{\ve{A}_{\ell^1\to \ell^\iy}\le 1, \ve{Y}_{\ell_1\to \ell_1}}\sub Q.
\] with low sampling Rademacher width and that is efficiently optimizable.
- (Lemma 5.2) If a convex set has low sampling Rademacher width, then we can compress it by random sampling.
- Define the factorable “norm” \(\Ga_{\al,\be}(Z) = \inf_{Z=AB}\ve{A}_\al\ve{B}_\be\). \(\Ga_{1,q,1,t}(\cdot) = \Ga_{\ell_1\to \ell_q, \ell_1\to \ell_t}\) is a norm (5.3-4). \(Q_{1,\iy,1,1} = \set{C\in \R^{N\times d}}{\Ga_{1,\iy,1,1}(C)\le k}\) has low SRW (5.5).
- This is not efficiently optimizable. Instead consider the SoS relaxation
\[\begin{align}
Q_p^{sos} &= \set{C\in \R^{d\times N}}{\exists \text{degree-}O(p^2)\text{pseudo-expectation $\wt\E$ that satisfies }A(C)}\\
A(C) & = \set{C=AB}\cup
\bc{ \forall i,j, B_{ij} = b_{ij}^{p-1}, \sumo lr b_{lj}^p \le k^{\fc p{p-1}},\forall i,j, A_{ij}^2\le 1}.
\end{align}\]
Now redo the proof for low SRW using a SoS proof. Motivation: for \(Q\) we use an inequality involving \(L^1,L^{\iy}\). In oreder to convert to SoS proof, we need to turn this into \(L^{\fc{p}{p-1}},L^p\).

Collision on M50 causing delays; also traffic backing up on the N7 from J4 Rathcoole.
by Rose B O'DonoghueThe collision on the M50 northbound at J7 Lucan has been moved into the hard shoulder.
However, traffic remains very slow on approach from J12 Firhouse.
Delays have also backed up on the N7 from J4 Rathcoole.
It's very heavy too on the southbound approach from the M1 Interchange.
Roadworks: overnight works will be in place in Sallins on the Naas/Clane Rd (R407) until Thursday 5 December, from 7pm each night to 6am the following morning.
Lane closures will be in place for works on the M9 northbound at J1 M7 between 10am and 5am each day until Wednesday (27th). The lanes will only reopen to facilitate morning rush hour traffic, with closures in place on midweek days.

 [Hoces, Grant and Miguel 2020](https://tinyurl.com/1qypbihb) --- count: true # Deworming Interventions - Parasitic worm infections are endemic in many countries, disproportionately affecting the poor - They interfere with regular bodily processes by decreasing nutrient uptake and can thus lead to serious consequences on human health, education outcomes, and long-term economic well being - Mass deworming interventions, at school level, have been propose as a cost-effective approach to tackle this problem -- ## Different settings for deworming - Context of original study (Kenya, 1998-99) had very high prevalence rates of worm infections - Implementation costs where very low ($0.42 per round of treatment) - Length of treatment was relatively short (2.4 years) - Current deworming settings have lower prevalence rates, varying implementation costs and length of treatments -- ## Strong debate around initial results - Ozier ([2020](https://academic.oup.com/wbro/advance-article/doi/10.1093/wbro/lkaa005/6009048)) summarizes differences between original findings (Miguel and Kremer 2004) and a re-analysis (Aiken et al, 2015). Emphasizes the role of communication of results in a reanalysis. - This type of debate (result/re-analysis) can be seen in several other topics. For example: minimum wage, immigration, taxation. - OPA need not guaranty agreement on key research finding, but should help avoid multiple policy reports --- # OPA On Deworming Interventions (Kenya+)

For example, the OPA can be used to justify power calculations of potential new studies. ## Connection with forecasting When there is little information for a parameter used in an OPA, a forecasting exercise can be carried out to elicit expert knowledge (DellaVigna, Pope, Vivalt [2019](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6464/428.summary)). --- # Challenges From This OPA

--- layout: page title: Greatings description: to my personal blog background: '/img/bg-about.jpg' ---
My name is Bexultan and I am robotics engineer. I work at company that develops self driving cars and autonomous robots. Before that, I did research in robotics and machine learning. My work is related to the topics like control theory, reinforcement learning, computer vision. My interests are: natural sciences, philosophy of mind, cognitive sciences and linguistics. At my free time, I develop small scale AI bots.
I like to write about my observations and share my thoughts with my friends. Sometimes I can spend all night reading research papers and in the morning start spamming my friends about some extremely controversial ideas (yes, I am aware they are controversial). I think of it as a stimulus to brain to think critically.
This is how I came up with idea to create a blog.
I've tried to create blogs before. But I did not even imagine how hard it is to write nice and comprehensive text. Many times I've done same mistakes of over-complicating things or over-simplifying. Previously I have tried to write about philosophy, attempt that makes me feel ashamed. Needless to say, it was overconfidence in my knowledge and abilities. For this reason, I will abstain from writing on topcis I am not familiar with.
I want to create very nice blog of my thoughts. To save my knowledge in a way, that is manageable and easily accessible to everyone. There are so many things I want to document.
My mind is filled with a lot of information. But recently, I started to forget. Time is really merciless. These might be my futile efforts to save something about me.
You can thing of this blog as my cognitive offloading. I am uploading the here all my knowledge. I hope some of you find it useful in a way.
This is a blog, so I am writing anythings that is of my interest. I will be modifying older posts by editing possible errors and managing new content in a form of a blog. Send me message if you see any errors! Each blog will be assigned 4 digit number. Sort of a way to distinguish them in a temporal order.
Let's begin this long road together...


--- layout: successCriteria title: "Audio-only and Video-only Time Based Media - Silverlight" successCriteria: "1-1-2" successCriteriaTitle: "Audio-only and Video-only Time Based Media" technology: "Silverlight" ---
The objective of this technique is to replace a Silverlight MediaElement with static alternative non-media content that is not time-based. The static alternative content replaces the media in the same or a nearby user interface region of the Silverlight application.
A Silverlight application user interface can be adjusted at run time by removing elements from the visual tree, and adding new elements to the visual tree. In this case, the user interface is designed to provide a control that the user activates to display the static alternative content, which is often a control that displays text, or a text element.
This example has a UI definition in XAML and interaction logic in C#. In this case the MediaElement has no visual representation itself and is 0x0 size because it plays audio only. As a simple placeholder, this example displays the text "Library of Congress Audio" to represent the media element as something visible in the UI. In addition to Play/Stop controls, this interface includes a Display Transcript button. Activating the button displays static text that represents the transcript of the audio. The following is the basic UI in XAML.
