<title>Punctuated-Equilibrium</title>
<description>When, upon my graduation and departure from UW EE, my &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://depts.washington.edu/soslab/mw/index.php?title=User:Klavins&quot; href=&quot;%20http://depts.washington.edu/soslab/mw/index.php?title=User:Klavins&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;undergraduate research advisor and mentor&lt;/a&gt; gave me Stephen Jay Gould's memoir about (one of) his biggest scientific achievement(s), I was perplexed. I felt that Eric and I bonded over many shared intellectual interests, but the historical development of evolutionary paleobiology was not one of them. Where was the obscure mathematics textbook on Morse theory? Or the seemingly far more apt pop sci bio-inspiration book by Vogel?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Needless to say, I didn't finish the book that summer. I was overwhelmed by Gould's florid academese, but mostly &lt;em&gt;I didn't get it&lt;/em&gt;. It wasn't until 5 years later, having read &lt;a tiddlylink=&quot;Structure-of-Scientific-Revolutions&quot; refresh=&quot;link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to http://eecs.berkeley.edu/~sburden/index.html#Structure-of-Scientific-Revolutions&quot; href=&quot;http://eecs.berkeley.edu/%7Esburden/index.html#Structure-of-Scientific-Revolutions&quot; class=&quot;externalLink null&quot;&gt;Kuhn's classic essay&lt;/a&gt; and struggled most of the way through a PhD, that I returned to the book and realized what a gem it really is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;For the uninitiated&lt;/h3&gt;Eldredge and Gould presented a now-seminal paper in an annual paleobiology meeting touting the ubiquitous stasis of species in the paleontological record as strong evidence against the view (dating back to Darwin himself) that evolution is a continual gradual process. Controverting this paradigm of phyletic gradualism, Eldredge and Gould argued that species persist in equilibrium for long spans of geological time, undergoing (relatively) rapid periods of punctuational change. Contrary to the prevailing view that the apparent stasis of species was merely symptomatic of an incomplete paleontological record, they asserted that “stasis &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; data”, and that the burden of proof for phyletic gradualism now rested on its proponents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;A case study in &lt;em&gt;paradigm shift&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;The dissemination and adoption of punctuated equilibrium, as documented in Gould's 2007 book, is a classic example of Kuhn's theory of punctuational change characterizing scientific progress (&lt;em&gt;paradigm shift&lt;/em&gt; being Kuhn's term). In addition to four solid chapters spent motivating, articulating, and defending the scientific theory, Gould devotes a final chapter and appendix to broader interpretations and implications for punctuational modes of change, as well as an anecdotal and subjective account of the less-than-scientific resistance and critique rendered by his colleagues in the 30+ years that elapsed between the original conference paper and this monograph.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Lessons for revolutionaries&lt;/h3&gt;Although &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_science&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_science&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;normal science&lt;/a&gt; can be rewarding, I posit that the majority of scientists (a label I surreptitiously ascribe to engineering researchers as well as the biologists and physicists I collaborate with) are in this game for the revolutions. Specifically: I would venture that most of us dream of someday (soon) finding ourselves at the tempestuous vortex of serendipity and insight resulting in an impulsive, lurching shift of conceptual inertia that defines a scientific epoch. &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Swan_(Taleb_book)&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Swan_%28Taleb_book%29&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;Black swans&lt;/a&gt; are rare, but they are not chimeras; one should prepare to readily identify the errant bird. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I derive the following lessons from Gould's example:&lt;br&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; question assumptions, particularly the most obvious&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; read broadly (across disciplines), and ask experts naïve questions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; do not be afraid to be tenacious, and stubborn, and (ultimately) annoying&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; accept all scientific criticism; reject ad hominem attacks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;References&lt;/h3&gt;Darwin, Charles (1859). &lt;em&gt;On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selections: Or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life&lt;/em&gt;.

Devoting 30 &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; 60  minutes per day, I was easily able to get through one Unit per week, and hence Levels 1 &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; 3 (&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://www.amazon.com/Rosetta-Stone-Spanish-Latin-America/dp/1617160849/&quot; href=&quot;%20http://www.amazon.com/Rosetta-Stone-Spanish-Latin-America/dp/1617160849/&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;bundled together&lt;/a&gt; for ~$400) in approximately 3 months.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Grammar&lt;/h3&gt;I am in full agreement with &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YtI2SnAMdQ&quot; href=&quot;%20http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YtI2SnAMdQ&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;this YouTube video&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; it is very difficult to learn grammar from RS. After the first few Levels you will start to intuit when a verb must be conjugated, but I am still unable to consistently recall the correct conjugation. I think an effective strategy is to buy the workbook from a first-year college-level Spanish course and do the exercises in parallel with RS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Listening&lt;/h3&gt;RS eases you into every new word &amp;amp; phrase gradually, so the lessons can quickly become tedious and repetitive. To make the Listening exercises more challenging, I close my eyes, visualize what is being said,  and try to repeat it aloud before looking at the screen. This practice also seems to help me directly connect the Spanish language to my cognitive states, i.e. I do not need to first translate Spanish to English to understand what is being said.&lt;br&gt;</description>

<title>Structure-of-Scientific-Revolutions</title>
<description>I just discovered &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;Kuhn's classic essay&lt;/a&gt;. Though many of the ideas have been assimilated into academic culture &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; the phrase “&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;paradigm shift&lt;/a&gt;” and &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/985549&quot; href=&quot;%20http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/985549&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;science as a social phenomenon&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; I found the piece informative and highly relevant. It helped clarify and contextualize some frustrations I have as a student and researcher, and provoked more fundamental questions about the purpose and goal of academic research in engineering.  This post will evolve as I discuss the ideas with colleagues.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Narrative fallacy in science curriculum&lt;/h3&gt;Kuhn observes that the main pedagogical apparatus of a typical &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_I_university&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_I_university&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;R1 university&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; textbooks &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; efficiently indoctrinate students with the tools and perspectives of the dominant scientific paradigm while suppressing competing interpretations:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Because they aim quickly to acquaint the student with what the contemporary scientific community thinks it knows, textbooks treat the various experiments, concepts, laws, and theories of the current normal science as separately and as nearly seriatim as possible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Kuhn, T.S. (1970), pg. 140&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I found this narrative structure of physics and chemistry textbooks extremely misleading and difficult to follow as an undergraduate.  Though difficult to implement, it strikes me that a better curriculum could be crafted around more open-ended exploration and assimilation of results of laboratory experiments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;The human condition corrupts scientific progress&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.134.3479.596&quot; href=&quot;%20http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.134.3479.596&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;Resistance by scientists to scientific discovery&lt;/a&gt; is an acknowledged phenomenon.  Kuhn contributes the observation that this resistance is necessary for the progress of &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_science&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_science&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;normal science&lt;/a&gt;, rather than a psychological failing attributable to ego or cognitive bias:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Though the historian can always find scientists who were unreasonable to resist for as long as they did, they will not find a point at which resistance becomes illogical or unscientific.  At most one may wish to say that the person who continues to resist after the whole profession has been converted has &lt;em&gt;ipso facto&lt;/em&gt; ceased to be a scientist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Kuhn, T.S. (1970), pg. 159&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This is refreshing since it redirects frustration one may feel when a progressive paper is rejected away from unproductive bitterness toward renewed progress.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Open questions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does engineering research (an enormous enterprise today compared to the 1960's) fit Kuhn's `Structure` ?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Regardless, does engineering research qualify as a `science` (either under Kuhn's definition or another) ?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Notes&lt;/h3&gt;Kuhn wrote in a time when academia was utterly dominated by men; I elected to sanitize the gender bias in the quotes above.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The essay is a goldmine of landmark papers in the history, philosophy, psychology, &amp;amp; sociology of science &lt;span&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; many such citations are included below even if I haven't been able to assimilate them above.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h3&gt;References&lt;/h3&gt;Barber, B..

<title>SwiMP3-Playlists</title>
<description>Just a quick script to streamline the creation of playlists on the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://www.finisinc.com/support/electronics/swimp3/&quot; href=&quot;%20http://www.finisinc.com/support/electronics/swimp3/&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;SwiMP3&lt;/a&gt; waterproof mp3 player.  The player sorts songs alphabetically, so simply dragging files from your filesystem or iTunes will usually yield an incorrect order.  Instead, create .m3u playlists directly on the USB device, then execute the following Python code in the same directory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;pre&gt;import os
from glob import glob

sfx = '.m3u'
lis = glob('*'+sfx)

for li in lis:
  l = li.strip(sfx)
  if not os.path.exists(l):
    cmd = 'mkdir &quot;{l}&quot;'.format(l=l)
    print cmd
    os.system(cmd)
    fis = open(li,'r').readline().split('\r')[::2][1:]
    for n,fi in enumerate(fis):
      f = fi.split('/')[-1]
      cmd = 'cp &quot;{fi}&quot; &quot;{l}/{n:04d}_{f}&quot;'.format(fi=fi,l=l,n=n,f=f)
      print cmd
      os.system(cmd)
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you update a playlist, simply delete the corresponding folder and re-run the script.</description>

<title>Forces-are-covariant</title>
<description>(if you see raw &lt;a tiddlylink=&quot;LaTeX&quot; refresh=&quot;link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to http://eecs.berkeley.edu/~sburden/index.html#LaTeX&quot; href=&quot;http://eecs.berkeley.edu/%7Esburden/index.html#LaTeX&quot; class=&quot;externalLink null&quot;&gt;LaTeX&lt;/a&gt; rather than formulas below, you need &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://www.mathjax.org/download/&quot; href=&quot;%20http://www.mathjax.org/download/&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;MathJax&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I recently had a great deal of trouble solving what I regarded as a fairly simple physics problem that required transforming forces through a change of coordinates.  The solution is straightforward once we recognize that &lt;strong&gt;forces are &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_of_vectors&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_of_vectors&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;covariant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If $p = \phi(q)$, then the chain rule yields $\dot{p} = D\phi(q) \dot{q}$ where $D\phi(q)$ is the Jacobian linearization of the coordinate transformation $\phi$ (in manifold lingo, $D\phi:TQ\rightarrow TP$ is the pushforward).  Since the instantaneous power $F^T \dot{p}$ associated with a force $F$ represented in the $p$ coordinates is frame-invariant, direct substitution yields $F^T \dot{p} = F^T D\phi(q) \dot{q}$.  Since $\dot{p}$ is arbitrary, the equivalent force represented in the $q$ coordinates must be $F^T D\phi(q)$.  In differential-geometric terms, if we regard forces as covectors so that $F\in T^*Q$, this is simply the pullback $\phi^* F\in T^*P$.  Therefore &lt;strong&gt;forces are (naturally) covariant&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One potential point of confusion: if the coordinate change is an isometry, i.e. $\phi(q) = R q + a$ for some orthogonal matrix $R$ and vector $a$, then forces can also be transformed by the pushforward of the inverse transformation.  Specifically, let $\psi(p) = R^T(p - a)$ so that $\phi\circ\psi = \text{id} = \psi\circ\phi$.  Then $D\phi = R$, and $D\psi = R^T = (R)^{-1} = (D\phi)^{-1}$.  Therefore $F^T D\phi = (D\psi F)^T$, so in this case $F$ may be &quot;pushed forward&quot; and it appears that forces are &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;External link to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_of_vectors&quot; href=&quot;%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_of_vectors&quot; class=&quot;externalLink&quot;&gt;contravariant&lt;/a&gt;.  I cannot emphasize enough that &lt;strong&gt;this formula does not hold unless $\phi$ is an isometry&lt;/strong&gt;.</description>
