OmniCAV: Simulated road users in new testing framework for connected and autonomous vehicles
Published on Oct 25, 2019 by OmniCAV
OmniCAV: Aimsun is one of a consortium of 11 organisations embarking on a UK government funded project to create a high fidelity simulation environment, including artificial intelligence (AI) trained models of road users, to test connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs).
OmniCAV intends to assemble a comprehensive, robust and secure simulator that can provide a certification tool for CAVs that is valid for regulatory and accreditation bodies, insurers and OEMs. The project will be validated through comparison with data measured for equivalent locations and scenarios in the real world on proving grounds and open roads. Aimsun will be providing the core traffic simulation environment to the project, along with integration to the associated AI agents and driving simulator. We support development of the microsimulation model of the trial route and the development of an interface between Aimsun Next and the other simulators being utilised by the project to assess the performance autonomous vehicles.
OmniCAV, which was awarded funding as part of a competition run by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) and Innovate UK, will be fed by highly detailed geospatial data, traffic camera data, accident data and near-miss analyses. These inputs will be used to create a high-fidelity model of the physical environment, realistic AI road users, and an extensive open-access scenario library.
The simulator technology will offer market-leading coverage of a diverse range of road networks including rural, peri-urban and urban roads.
OmniCAV will lay the foundations for the development of a comprehensive, robust and secure simulator, aimed at providing a certification tool for CAVs that can be used by regulatory and accreditation bodies, insurers and manufacturers to accelerate the safe development of CAVs. The project will validate the realism of the simulator by comparing its outputs with data measured for the equivalent locations and scenarios in the real world. This will include tests on proving grounds and open roads.

Christopher Allen has an interesting article (via) on the state of the encryption business. But he doesn't just whine, he comes up with an interesting analysis:
The decline of the security industry is based upon a basic disconnect between the business world and the security world.
Within the security industry we base our models of trust upon mathematics. We strive to continually push the envelope by codifying security and improving it. On the other hand the business industry bases its models of trust upon risk. It balances the risk of a bad outcome, the cost of that bad outcome, and the cost of reducing that risk. Even if a system is technically insecure, the business world will accept it if the risk of a security breach is low, the cost of a security breach is low, or the cost of closing that breach is high.
Where our model is mathematics, theirs is economics. These two models worked well in tandem for quite a few years; the need for a security industry was initially obvious because of the totally undefined risks and the potentially high costs that were out there, waiting to be taken advantage of.
But now, years later, we've done our job too well. We've taken all those undefined risks and codified them -- made them real and quantifiable. We've offered real demonstrations of online security through years of ecommerce, and in doing so we've proven lower rates of credit card fraud, and almost total proof from high-cost offline problems like extortion and bad reputation. We've helped fill out business' risk models and so shown when we were necessary and when weren't.
I would add that it's not just the cost of closing a breach or implementing a secure system -- increased security often has a significant effect on usability and reliability of systems (for the worse). But then he brings this up too. We don't need more secure systems -- at least in most traditional areas of security concern -- we need more usable security.
Outside of business concerns -- i.e., for individuals -- there's still a lot of security problems. But then, he talks about that too, so now I'm just repeating him. Anyway, interesting article.

LSD |
(blotter / tab) |
This is just a warning for those of you, especially younger folks ( who may have neuroses at the best of times ) that LSD should not be taken lightly, I enjoyed many a trip were the effects were mild and pleasant - laughing our asses off, and bonding with each other in our clique like never before and aside from the slightly unpleasant 'empty stomach' feeling and your head being scrambled slightly the next day all was well.
After about a year or so of occasional use and growing complacency I got a hell of a comeuppance around a month before I turned 18.
I was going through a bad spell slacking off at college arguing with my folks and my friends who began to resent me for always moaning and generally putting them on a bummer and getting a really chronic habit for the smoking of strong hash constantly that had me in a warped frame of mind and caused conflict with my parents, also coming up to such an important milestone in my life ( 18th Birthday ) I was growing increasingly anxious that I had yet to have a 'serious' ( you know what I mean ) Girlfriend when all my buddies, some of whom were even 2 years younger than me had, this was due to being naturally shy and lacking in confidence as I had been into Metal and had long hair wore black had a bit of acne etc and most of the girls in my area were preppy types.

For the next six to nine months I was in a world of total isolation and fear that I had become insane. I was paranoid and found links and parallels to my life everywhere I looked. I became an insommniac and binged heavily on alcohol and food. This sounds like a nightmare I know but gradually on my own I began the healing process which I compare to a re-birth, like many tribes have rituals of pain, mysticism, bravery etc for the youth to emerge as a man, I believe this was mine, the teenager that entered into this was selfish, petty, spiteful, deceitful, greedy, insecure around girls, obnoxious, smug and many other bad traits.
The moral of this is never underestimate the power and don't automatically think its a cure to all ills.

Welcome to
CSS Animations
July 7 2015 · San Francisco
Topics
Animations
Transitions
Vendor Prefixes
- Ensures the best support across all browsers
Animations: What are they?
CSS Animations are made up of two basic building blocks:
- Keyframes:
- Name of the animation -- e.g. bounceIn, scale
- Stages of the animation -- represented in %-ages
- CSS Properties -- e.g. opacity, transform
Animations: What are they?
- Animation Properties
- Assign the @keyframes to the element you want animated
- Define HOW it's animated
EXAMPLE
This animation has two stages: In the first stage (0%), the element is scaled at 100 percent using transform scale; the second stage (100%) is scaled at 130 percent.
@keyframes scale {
0% {
transform: scale(1);
-webkit-transform: scale(-100px);
}
100% {
transform: scale(1.3);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.3);
}
}
Transitions: What are they?
- Allow you to control the speed of animations when changing properties.
- Cause the changes in a property to take place over a period of time.
Transitions: What are they?
- Four Transition Related Properties:
- transition-property -- determines exactly what properties will be altered
- transition-duration -- length of time for transition to take place
- transition-timing-function -- sets speed at which a transition moves
- transition-delay -- sets how long the transition should stall before execution
EXAMPLE
This menu uses transition-property, transition-duration and transition-timing-function
EXAMPLE
This transition eases the background-color out to white (from salmon); and the text color from white to grey with a :hover state over a 1 second period.
.square:hover {
background-color: white;
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
color: #666;
text-transform: uppercase;
-webkit-transition-property: background-color, color;
transition-property: background-color, color;
-webkit-transition-duration: 1s;
transition-duration: 1s;
-webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
transition-timing-function: ease-out;
}
Why are CSS Animations useful?
- It's a powerful way to draw users attention to important areas of your product.
- It adds interest to the user interface.
What were the roadblocks?
What are the lessons learned?
Did not realize there was a difference between animations and transitions, or what that meant.

Breadth First Search
In bfs we begin with a 'source' and a 'target' node and a queue for visiting nodes; the frontier. We also use a temporary array for the neighboring nodes.
From the 'source' node we check all neighbors: North, South, East and West.
Each of these neighbors is marked as visited, and removed from the frontier queue.
We continue iterating until we have searched all nodes or we break early if 'target found'.
The source node is blue, with the target node being red, and the wall being black.


This post is the part I of the video analysis in which I'll elaborate on a few points exposed by Adam Tornhill on a talk presented in the 2019 GOTO Conference that happened in Copenhagen. As he addressed several topics, I've decided to tackle it into different fronts.
In this initial post I'll cover the first half of the video where he approaches technical debts found within a single code base (or repository if you will). There are several points on his presentation that, I believe, are spot on and deserves to be transcribed and better explained. Technical Debts as a concept is something usually underrated by several (if not most of) big companies. The amount of money and man-hour effort spent fixing problems is often pointed as an order of magnitude higher than avoiding it before being released into production.
Lehman Law's
Adam will use Manny Lehman's Laws of Software Evolution as the foundation of his argument during the whole talk. 1:
- Continuing Change: "a system must be continually adapted or it becomes progressively less satisfactory"
- Increasing Complexity: "as a system evolves, its complexity increases unless work is done to maintain or reduce it"
One shall focus on the real issue
As he points out, there's an inherent conflict between these two laws. "On one hand, we have to continuously evolve and adapt our system but as we do, its complexity will increase which makes it harder and harder to respond to change". These are so intertwined that it prevents us to perceive the problems as it is, leading us to tackle "the symptoms more than the root cause".
What he has experienced is somewhat similar to what I've witnessed in the past few years. If we, as technical and business leaders, only monitor the tickets we have in the backlog we might not be able to identify the impact that technical debts impose to our users. Therefore, to actually solve the problem, we need to understand the underlying issue - the root cause of the problem. It might imply on revisiting a software, a component design or even how we approach and process the interaction with the user.
It worth mention that Tornhill is not advocating perfectionism. In general, users don't mind living with one or two glitches in the app as long as it doesn't impact their work routine. But as we neglect the existence of those technical debts, the time to release of new features or fix bugs grows bigger (and faster) than the symptoms experienced by the users.
The clear challenge for product and engineering teams is finding a balance between mitigating technical debt and ensuring the software still delivers valuable experience to its users.
The perils of quantifying technical debt
We really have to consider what kind of behaviour do we reinforce by putting our quantitative goal on technical debt. [...] People like us (developers) will optimise for what we are measured on. That most likely means that we're going to pick not only the simplest task, but we're going to pick tasks that we're comfortable with. [...] That also means that we lack the most important aspect of the technical debt: we lack the business impact.
It's safe to say that, at this point in time, Adam addresses the biggest wound in the current state of the software development industry. We've been putting much more effort on the results (having less tickets in the backlog) than on the outcomes (deliver more value, or provide a better experience, to our users). By simply removing those issues from our sight we are neglecting to solve the root cause of the problem, as it doesn't guarantee our software won't behave poorly in the foreseeable future.
Assessing the technical debt
Cyclomatic complexity2 is probably the most common tool used to identify whether or not a piece of code needs to be revisited due to its complexity. Adam points out, though, that "code complexity is only a problem when we have to deal with it". There's no point in optimizing a complex source that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.
We can combine Cyclomatic Complexity with Code Change Frequency3 analysis. Together they give us a different perspective on how we've been dealing with the software, as we could use it to list which sections of it has been more frequently changed. This metric alone wouldn't be really useful, after all, why should we optimise something that is not complex at all.
To better understand the process, Adam proposes us to use our VCS tool and to list the most frequently changed files over a given period of time. Once you spotted a file which has been constantly changed, one can be submit each of the changes (as taken from the VSC repository) to a complexity analysis. The result would a timed series of data that we can plot into Complexity Trend chart - as illustrated by the picture below.
Picture taken from codescene.io
Hotspots X-Ray
Refactoring of a given unit of code can be approached in a multitude of ways. Adam emphasised that we should never start a refactor process without taking into account how the team, as a whole, interact with the identified problematic code.
Usually, a big refactor might too impactful to be applied straight into the main branch. It implies that we might need to branch that modifications out. The risk is clear, if the main branch is modified more frequently than the refactor branch, it might never be merged back again.
Reducing the refactor scope is key to succeed here. The speaker then suggests us to narrow down our problematic code base analysis to the function/method level. His ingenious suggestion allow us deliver valuable enhancements into our software within days rather than weeks (in case you're refactoring a humungous class) or even years (if we've decided to completely overhaul the system).

Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric used to indicate the complexity of a program. It is a quantitative measure of the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. It was developed by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr. in 1976.

Code Change Frequency is a measure to identify files that has been more frequently changed. If you are curious to learn how you can address this, you can check out this really interesting repository.

Taking a look into paired programming and giving feedback at DBC!!!
I have loved pairing with others to work through challenges. Everyone brings their own unique input and solutions into the pairing session. There have been times where I was confused about a piece of code and having someone there to talk it through with me is a lot more helpful than trying to research it on my own. Vice versa, there have been times where I have been able to teach what I understand to a fellow student, which for me, is the best way to completely understand a consept.
I'd say that one of my favorite things about pairing, is getting to know the people in my cohort on a deeper level. It allows us to talk about problems with our challenges as well as what's going on in our daily lives. This to me, is the most rewarding thing about paired programming.
At this point of phase 0, the only frustrating thing I've faced with pairing is the time difference. I'm on the west coast and most of the people in my cohort live east coast. The key is trying to remember the 3 hour time difference when planning pairing sessions.

Writing feedback was an interesting experience. I found it easy to write about the good things that my partner did and how great we work together, but writing something constructive and actionable was a whole different story. Writing feedback that is specific, actionable and kind is key, but it's easier said than done.
I found it really difficult to write feedback. It's always easy to talk about what went right and how great everyone is, but the real challenge was coming up with something constructive that your partner can fix.


Gentle lines and lullabies
Bittersweet kisses and a slow goodbye
Push me away, but let me stay
All I want, all I need
Something more, someone to please
I’m beggin’ you please
Hear what I have to say
Try hard not to run away
I see myself many years from now
Lost in love I know you don’t know how
If it takes so much to hear me say
I’m sure I’ll find a better way
To tell you what you mean to me
If I try to hard I’m scared you’ll flee
I’m beggin’ you please
Hear what I have to say
I’ll try hard not to lose my way
I see myself tomorrow still loving you
I know it’s hard to think that’ll be true
Gentle lines and lullabies
A solemn message disguised as a lie
Push me away, push me away
Let me stay, let me stay

extcheck(1) extcheck(1) Name extcheck - A utility to detect jar conflicts extcheck detects version conflicts between a target jar file and cur‐ rently installed extension jar files. SYNOPSIS extcheck [ -verbose ] targetfile.jar DESCRIPTION The extcheck utility checks a specified Jar file for title and version conflicts with any extensions installed in the Java(TM) SDK. Before installing an extension, you can use this utility to see if the same or a more recent version of the extension is already installed. The extcheck utility compares the Specification-title and Specifica‐ tion-version headers in the manifest of the targetfile.jar file against the corresponding headers in all Jar files currently installed in the extension directory. (The extension directory is jre/lib/ext by default.) The extcheck utility compares version numbers in the same way as the method java.lang.Package.isCompatibleWith. If no conflict is detected, the return code is 0. If the manifest of any jar file in the extensions directory has the same Specification-title and the same or a newer Specification-version number, a non-zero error code is returned. A non-zero error code is also returned if targetfile.jar does not have the Specification-title or Specifica‐ tion-version attributes in its manifest. OPTIONS -verbose Lists Jar files in the extension directory as they are checked. Additionally, manifest attributes of the target jar file and any conflicting jar files are also reported. -Joption Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference page for the java(1). For exam‐ ple, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. SEE ALSO jar(1) 16 Mar 2012 extcheck(1)

Introduction
CascadeJS makes it simple to add cascading animations to individual letters or elements, using only vanilla javascript.
Installation
Installation is easy, you have three options:
npm install cascadejs
bower install cascadejs
or just download from GitHub. Then:
<link href='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='cascade.min.css' />

Hello!

Usage of fragment()
fragment() will split and wrap your text, but not animate it. Just want to style each letter in an interesting way? Want a vanilla javascript replacement for lettering.js? This is it. fragment() accepts all the same options as flow() , but only the following will be applied, while the rest will be stored in the object for when flow() is called:
var cascade = new Cascade(element).fragment({
tagName: 'span',
classPrefix: 'cascade char'
});
You can then call:
cascade.flow({
shouldFragment: false
});
when you're ready for some cool animations.
Examples

Hello!

Produces:

H

!

Use Animate.css? Try this:
var element = document.getElementsByClassName('cascade-container')[0];
var cascade = new Cascade(element).flow({
classPrefix: 'animated char',
effect: 'bounceInLeft'
});

offers API that draws to the canvas in the image while doing animation.

We are a team of three, based in Plymouth, making interesting games for University and in our own time! We really like using game jams to learn new techniques and how to work in a short time frame.
HYPERTEC is a three person team project, built over the course of 15 weeks in Unity. We produced all of the visual assets and scripts in house. The game is a voxel dogfighter, set in space, where you can upgrade your ship using weapons and engines left behind by defeated enemies.
Rhythm Fun was a collaberation with Caroline Stephenson, it's a rhythm game designed for young children to practice their hand eye coordination in a fun game-like context. This was our first client project as a team and we think the result was really good!
Contrelement was made for the GETA Game Jam 9. The theme was "contrasting elements" and we took it pretty literally! The game consists of sending minions of the correct opposing colour down channels to defeat the incoming enemies and destroy their spawner.
Until the World Goes Cold was a submission for the ACGS Start of Summer (SOS) and it was a bit of a longer time frame. It's a survival game where the goal is to stay alive long enough for the lake to freeze over which lets you escape. The time allowed for a more expanded game loop, with a variety of different actions and a crafting system.

Spam Admin is a spam management system. It is two-part.
First is an Asynchronous Tornado web service that determines whether the input is spam or not. It accepts a message and whatever metadata can be provided along with the message. This can be in either JSON or file format. It returns SPAM or HAM, as appropriate. You can optionally get a full report about why the message was marked as spam or ham. You can also optionally train the web service by providing definite spam or definite ham to allow it to make better decisions in the future. It also automatically trains itself if a message is very significantly spam or very significantly ham. This is built atop the popular Spam Assasssin email spam detection technology, customized to work with all messages.
Second is a administration page for admin's to quickly verify whether comments or projects at the Center for Open Science's Open Science Framework (OSF) are spam. Comments and projects sent here are not only from the web service but from other events in the OSF that can flag a comment or project. Once a admin makes a decision on the validity of a comment or project, the Tornado web service is automatically trained appropriately.


Gran Tarajal lies four miles SW of Punta Lantailla on the South East coast of Fuerteventura. This attractive town is surrounded by hills on three sides giving shelter from the almost constant trade winds.
Position 28° 12.5'N, 14° 01.7'W
The harbour has good protection from the south and west with two pontoons in the western part.
The new marina here provides berths for yachtsmen and the local fishing fleet as well as a centre for the new sailing school. There is reported to be plenty of space with the pontoons to port being for yachts over 15m. It is also very reasonable for overnight berthing.
Arriving yachts should come alongside the main quay and report to the port office by the main harbour gates (open 0800-1400 Monday-Friday).

BLADE ATTACK
Knife thug who stabbed rival in bum at Whitburn Gala Day weeps as he’s found guilty
by Vic RodrickA KNIFEMAN who stabbed a rival in the bum in a gala day clash has been told he faces a prison sentence.
Lewis Findlay, 20, was found guilty after trial of assaulting Connor McClung to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement at Whitburn Gala Day in West Lothian on 23 June last year.
A jury at Livingston Sheriff Court returned a majority verdict convicting him of serious assault and unanimously found him guilty of possessing a knife in a public place.
He was cleared of assaulting another man, Peter Brown by striking him on the chest with a knife to the danger of his life after the jury found the charge not proven.
He was earlier acquitted of causing a drunken disturbance by brandishing a wooden pole and damaging a wall at a house in High Academy Street in nearby Armadale the same day after the prosecution withdrew the charge.
Findlay, of Jubilee Road, Whitburn, who had denied all the charges, wept in the dock as the jury’s verdicts were read out.
Sheriff Kenneth Maciver called for background reports and told Findlay to return to court for sentence next year.
He warned the accused: “You now stand convicted of charges for being in possession of a knife and for stabbing an individual with that knife.
“You should understand that you face custody for that. Be in no doubt about that.
“In spite of that I’m satisfied that your bail should be continued until a report is ready and you are sentenced and that will be on 6 January.”

| Overview |
|---|
|
The Icelandic Sheepdog is a slightly under medium-sized Spitz type dog, with a triangle-shaped head, prick ears, and a thick double coat. Seen from the side, the dog is rectangular. The length of body from point of shoulder to point of buttocks is greater than the height measured at the withers. The depth of chest is equal to the length of the foreleg. The tail is carried in a loose curl over the back. There are two types of coat, long and short, and both are thick and extremely weatherproof. There is a marked difference in appearances between the sexes. The Icelandic Sheepdog should be evaluated as a herding and drover dog, and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog’s ability to work. Icelandic Sheepdogs are tough and energetic. Hardy and agile, they are extremely useful for herding and driving livestock or finding lost sheep. However, the dogs are not known for hunting. They are very alert and always give visitors an enthusiastic welcome, without being aggressive. Friendly and cheerful, the Icelandic Sheepdog is inquisitive, playful, and unafraid. They generally get along well with children, as well as other pets. |
| History |
| Iceland was settled in the late 9th century A.D. by Nordic people. These early settlers brought sheep, horses, and the ancestors of the Icelandic Sheepdog, Iceland’s only native breed. Over the centuries, these dogs adapted to the harsh terrain and the needs of Icelandic farmers and shepherds. By the early 20th century, however, farming in Iceland declined and the number of Icelandic Sheepdogs was so drastically reduced that the breed was in danger of extinction. In recent years, efforts by Icelandic and international breeders have increased the numbers, particularly in Iceland, where this working breed has become newly popular as a family companion. The Icelandic Sheepdog was recognized by the AKC in 2010. |


Building a face recognition algorithm involves a whole string of design decisions, each of which will impact how well the system can identify faces.
Here is a partial list of these decisions (*):
– Choice of faces used to train the detection algo. Note that both a positive and negative set is needed. In other
words you need to show it faces it should recognize, and faces (or other images) it should reject.
– Image preprocessing decisions (size, greyscale, normalization).
– Face alignment corrections.
– Number of eigen vectors to use. In other words, the number of dimensions of your face space.
– Number of low order eigen vectors to exclude. The idea being that low order vectors encode irrelevant (for face
recognition) information like lighting.
– Similarity measures. Aka nearest neighbor measures. (Euclidean vs Mahalanobis etc)
– Choice of PCA methodology (Eigenfaces vs Fisherfaces).
After laboriously doing numerous comparisons across multiple training sets on my own, I discovered this paper
published in 2001 where some researchers investigated these issues in a very systematic fashion.
Computational and Performance Aspects of PCA-based Face Recognition Algorithms, by H. Moon and P. J. Phillips,
Perception, 2001, Vol 30, pg 303-321 and (NISTIR 6486)
http://www.nist.gov/customcf/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=151458
I was reassured to see that their conclusions were close to my own (which I’ll write up later). It is worth reading the entire paper, but some of main conclusions I took away are:
– Image Normalization helps, but the particular implementation is not critical.
– Performance increases until approximately 200 eigenvectors, then decreases slightly. However much of the
performance gain can be captured with 100 eigenvectors.
– Removing the first low-order eigen vectors is best, removing the 2nd helps slightly.
– The similarity measure has a huge effect. Using an enhanced Mahalanobis classifier gives the best result.
(*) note that I’m following the framework implemented in the OpenCV software, namely using Haar classifiers for detection and some form of PCA for recognition.
