When stainless steel attacks

When stainless steel attacks 12/02/2003 01:52 AM

Stainless steel is a recent design trend in households and the Industrial House site takes it to new levels: $1 4k tub, $3k toilet, and a $600 bench. I wonder if market for these items goes beyond Kraftwerk trying to get on MTV Cribs.

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex 11/13/2003 07:48 AM
Larry Niven's classic essay, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex," which explores the likely outcomes of a Superman-Lois Lane union, is online, with permission:

Either Superman has gone completely schizo and believes himself to be Clark Kent; or he knows what he's doing, but no longer gives a damn. Thirty-one years is a long time. For Superman it has been even longer. He has X-ray vision; he knows just what he's missing. (*One should not think of Superman as a Peeping Tom. A biological ability must be used. As a child Superman may never have known that things had surfaces, until he learned to suppress his X-ray vision. If millions of people tend shamelessly to wear clothing with no lead in the weave, that is hardly Superman's fault.*)

The problem is this. Electroencephalograms taken of men and women during sexual intercourse show that orgasm resembles "a kind of pleasurable epileptic attack." One loses control over one's muscles.

Superman has been known to leave his fingerprints in steel and in hardened concrete, accidentally. What would he do to the woman in his arms during what amounts to an epileptic fit?

My nemesis: a 1'-high wood-and-steel
platform 04/02/2005 01:49 PM

My third flight in "Sky 12" became unexpectedly challenging when the GPS receiver for the microwave uplink failed.  Normally the transmitter automatically aligns itself to point at the TV station and send them a feed from the helicopter's camera.  It can't do this alignment if it doesn't know where the helicopter is and without its GPS the only solution is for us to aim the transmitter manually.  My supervising pilot was Rob Roberts, who has been doing this for 9 years and is an expert in every facet of the operation (see earlier story).  Nonetheless if the helicopter changes its position or orientation the transmitter will need to be reaimed.  So we are forced to do all of our filming from an out-of-ground-effect (mid-air) hover, which I establish about one minute before our signal is due to be broadcast.  Rob doubles as "talent" and is one of the two pilots qualified to be an on-air reporter, for which we have a small camera pointed inside the helicopter.  About 45 seconds before we go live, the guys back at the station say "we're receiving your feed; don't move!"  This turns out to be one of the cruelest things possible to say to a helicopter pilot.  Inset into the camera monitor on my side of the machine is a little window showing the actual broadcast coming out of the TV station and into homes.  The little picture and the producer's words serve as a constant reminder that "any kind of screw up and the screens inside 100,000 Richmond homes will go blank.  This kind of reflection turns out not to be conducive to good flying.

For the rest of the week I was able to handle most aspects of the job without too much fear or incompetence.  However at the end of every flight the fearsome dolly would be waiting.  If we just landed on the ramp it would be too hard for the maintenance guys to pull the Jet Ranger into the hangar.  So we land on a surprisingly small dolly, about 1' high, which they then tow with a golfcart-style tug.  The dolly is a few feet wider than the Jet Ranger's skids and a bit longer fore-and-aft so it shouldn't be all that tough.  However, the one thing that you are taught as a helicopter pilot is never to look down at the ground when you're trying to hover.  You always look off into the middle distance.  Looking down leads to overcontrol and wild oscillations.  Another problem is that the skids of the Jet Ranger are not easily visible to the pilot, unlike with a Robinson R22.  Finally there is the issue that if you get the helicopter into a position where it might fall off the dolly, or at least half off, there is a serious risk of dynamic rollover and having to go out and buy another $1 million helicopter.  This is the bit of knowledge that makes the whole thing hard.  If there were just some painted marks on the asphalt and the consequence of missing them were being embarrassed and picking the machine back up or buying lunch for the line guys it would be easy.  But the consequence is spectacular destruction and this ruins almost everyone's concentration.  Apparently there is an expert instructor at the Bell factory school who refuses to land on a dolly.  He doesn't have to do it regularly so he sees no need to add this kind of stress to his life on occasion.  Sadly at HeloAir one does have to do this after every flight and it turns my knuckles white.  At the end of the week I'm able to do it with only a bit of help from Rob but I would not want to try it by myself.

Steel Bank Common Lisp 0.8.21 (Default

Steel Bank Common Lisp 0.8.21 (Default
branch) 03/28/2005 01:34 PM
Steel Bank Common Lisp is a development environment for Common Lisp, with excellent support for the ANSI standard: garbage collection, lexical closures, powerful macros, strong dynamic typing, incremental compilation, and the famous Common Lisp Object System (multimethods and all). It also includes many extensions, such as native threads, socket support, a statistical profiler, programmable streams, and more. These are all available through an integrated, interactive native compiler which feels like an interpreter. SBCL is unique in being a multiplatform native compiler which bootstraps itself completely from source, using a C compiler and any other ANSI Common Lisp implementation.

---

Changes:
Thread support for non-NPTL systems has been removed, since locking is buggy and unreliable. The optimization policy is now handled in the manner which ANSI specifies. Disassembling X86-64 code is now more robust. Single-precision floating point numbers can now be represented as immediates on X86-64.

New Kevin Sites dispatch from Iraq:
Under Steel Rain

New Kevin Sites dispatch from Iraq:
Under Steel Rain 06/29/2004 06:50 PM
A new weblog dispatch from NBC correspondent and blogger Kevin Sites, about life in the militarized zone with the distinction of having been mortared more than any other in Iraq -- 400 times in the last three months

[S]oldiers aren't the only ones in danger. Civilian employees of Kellog. Brown and Root -- which provide many of the civilian services on base -- are also at risk. Many of the food service employees, mostly foreign workers from poor nations like the Philippines, Pakistan and Bangladesh; say theyre very frightened by the mortars. One says he sleeps on the ground pulling sandbags around him, but while the mortars haven't got him yet, the sand fleas have. He shows me the red bites on arms.

Four Philippine workers were killed at the largest Army supply base in Iraq last April when insurgent rockets hit their living quarters at Camp Anaconda. But those inside the camp aren't completely surrounded by hostility. At dusk in Guard Tower 7, soldiers watch Iraqi boys play soccer not more than a hundred yards away. Some Iraqi civilians even live in shacks right next to the massive walls surrounding the base.

"Hi Nora," one of the soldiers says, waving to a shy ten year old Iraqi girl popping her head out from behind a sheet that covers the opening to the mud and clapboard shack. "Hi Michael," she says in a high-pitched voice, waving then quickly ducking back inside.
