Hopefully the next part covers some of the compilers available on the 68k personal computers of the late mid to late 80s. MegaMax and Manx come to mind a some of the more prominent examples.
Considering the 4th edition of "Expert Systems: Principles and Programming" (The original book on CLIPS) is going for $300 at amazon, you are offering a good alternative.
I worked with Gary Riley and Joe Giarratano at JSC in the mid 80s when CLIPS was in heavy development. Joe had the unique ability to teach very technical topics with a special brand of humor.
Knowing CLIPs got me my first job in Silicon Valley / Los Altos in '88. Thanks Gary!
Gleason scores already designate 5 different types/categories of PaC, and this score strongly influences what type of barbaric treatment one will receive.
I hope their findings help discovery of humane immunotherapy’s.
I understand and agree. I was Gleason 7: 4+3 intermediate aggressive. Caught it very early, no spread, so RALP was performed 5 months ago. Now I’m deep in the throws of pelvic floor PT hoping to gain some semblance of control again.
Hopefully your surgeon has performed (unlike mine) more than 1000 RALPs - the incontinence outcomes improve greatly when their experience is that high.
Best of luck to you. DM me at gmail if you need/want to talk about your upcoming RALP.
There's a very good chance, 90% or higher, if you're under 70, not obese, and in general good health, that you will have no issues with impotence or incontinence after reovery from surgery.
This is really the best option for healthy fit people under 70.
90% or higher? No way, there’s not a credible large scale survey that makes that claim. Closer to 15-25% suffer from incontinence permanently. And 30-50% will have ED. And 100% of outcomes will loose inches.
50% of RALP patients will have biochemical reoccurrence within 8 years. It takes 15 years of low PSA (<.1ng/ml) to state you are cured.
> Several studies report a progressive return of continence up to one year after RP, with a continence rate ranging from 68 to 97% at 12 months [13,14,15,16,17], while a progressive further improvement could be registered up to 2 years [18].
Note that I qualified it with under 70, good health otherwise, and non-obese or overweight. If you're in that category, you are extremely likely not to have continence problems after a year.
The reason many people die "with" it is because 67% of Americans are obese or overweight, and it usually dosn't show up 'til a person is 70. Of course these people die of something else first.
If a person isn't fat, and has no other health problems, getting it removed if it hasn't spread beyond the prostate is the best choice.

The reason he claimed sensor fusion was not working well was due to vendor versioning. He claimed the same sensor from different manufacturing batches performed differently and thus needed to be re-characterized, which then has follow on effects in various math models. Multiply this by many sensors, and the need for replacement parts inventory for a decade or two and the problem becomes intractable was his claim on his most recent appearance on the LF podcast.
I was lucky enough to have taken two FEA classes from Hughes in the 80s. I worked with his DLEARN [1] code many times back then. He was a great teacher.
I never had the pleasure of taking classes from Juan Carlos Simo, but he was known to have outstanding classes. His was a very brilliant light & life cut too short by cancer at the young age of 42.
Did anyone notice that __no one__ is wearing a helmet in any of those pictures?
In California it is a law that anyone under 18 years old must wear a helmet. And those above 18 not wearing a helmet get ridiculed by the sanctimonious helmet wearing crowd.
First of all: What an absolutely ridiculous statement.
> Did anyone notice that __no one__ is wearing a helmet in any of those pictures?
Yes, because they all have separate roads and pathways for bicycles. Helmets save lives and reduce injury significantly, but the biggest way to avoid accidents on bicycles is to separate them from cars.
By the way, the lack of helmets is almost exclusively a Dutch thing. In France, another country with a love for bicycles, the attitude is quite different.
Gosh, where could we search to find sanctimony from helmet authoritarians? I would say, in this very thread!
Helmet use varies a great deal among all the different situations in which humans ride bikes. As in every other facet of human life, humans are well-equipped to judge the risks they face on a regular basis. The one invariant, everywhere, is that helmet laws reduce cycling rates. Which is actually the point, as these laws are pushed by automobile lobbyists.
The people who have been most concerned about whether I've worn a helmet have been auto drivers immediately after, or more frequently while, driving very poorly.
Sanctimony implies moral superiority, something that I didn't present. That is your own projection :)
People should be free to make their own decisions, and I am against mandatory helmet laws - but, that decision should be done with all of the facts. Your post is not aligned with reality.
> these laws are pushed by automobile lobbyists
Please do not devolve into conspiracy in a factually-based discussion. Thank you.
