Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex
11/13/2003 07:48 AMLarry 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
My nemesis: a 1'-high wood-and-steel
platform
04/02/2005 01:49 PMMy 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 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
06/29/2004 06:50 PMA 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.
