- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 6 days ago:
That’s generally true for most HVAC applications. Bang-bang control creates limit cycle behaviour and as long as a small oscillation in temperature is acceptable, it’s a nice simple solution.
OPs problem seems to be a discontinuity between the two limit cycles, heating and cooling. The way to tackle this is to make time series vectors of all measurements and compare them with the subjective sensation of the room temperature. That should inform the relevant set points for the control actions.

Control theory is a bitch
- Comment on Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court? 1 week ago:
Like the guys at the Nuremberg trials. Turns out ‘just following orders’ was not a creditable defence.

We saw it and thought ‘we should invent a process that prevents us from falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy’.
- Comment on Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court? 1 week ago:
How is this even a question? If you believe someone is good and they decided to do something against the law but for good reasons, are you going to punish that person? We know rules are important in society and we all aspire to be good citizens but sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we have to abandon our principles or break the law. Nobody is obeying the speed limit when carrying a dying child to hospital and nobody is condemning that person for breaking the law, to give a completely fatuous example.
The reason jurys convict ethically sound defendants is the same reason people fail to make the ethically sound choice in the Milgram experiment.
It doesn’t matter what the legal statutes say, you still have to think for yourself and others to make compassionate choices.
- Comment on no ragrets 3 weeks ago:
According to Bryson’s account, he deliberately mislead us about the dangers of tetraethyl lead by making a public demonstration of washing his hands in the chemical. As a chemical engineer he knew a single exposure was not sufficient to cause the lead poisoning that was evident in the workforce at his factory and was counting on a scientifically illiterate public not understanding how toxicity operates in organisms. He was correct on both counts and we can never let the profit motive enter these type of calculations e.g. money in healthcare, oil companies publishing climate science, etc, and expect healthy outcomes.

- Comment on Seven arrested over alleged sexual abuse ‘claim farming’ scheme that police say netted more than $1bn | New South Wales 1 month ago:
Let’s solve this problem with more application of the law. You can never have too much law, just ask the guys prosecuting the war on drugs and popular contemporary war criminals such as Clinton, Bush, Cheney and Netanyahu.
Never ask scientists and philosophers how to solve a problem, you’re much better off leaving it in the hands of lying psychopaths.

Sometimes people just want to be left alone. There’s no solution to grief besides time. You can’t materially improve this position but you can be around if they want to talk or just be around people.

They get sick pleasure from inflicting stupid fastener design on their users?

It would be easier to do if they came down with a mystery illness.

The point is that the fork has been traumatised and it transfers that trauma to your food by the magic of homeopathy or something.

Turns out the laws of physics and geometry are the same everywhere.
- Comment on How am I supposed to obtain income? 3 months ago:
The situation where a candidate is rejected because they don’t have relevant experience is often decided by people who don’t have that experience either. The last thing I want is a job where I immediately know how to do it. That’s often the reason to leave - it’s boring and not a challenge any more.
The market is probably flat right now and that’s the reason there’s no jobs. You have to hang in there for a bit and wait for an upturn.

It’s already popular with a good userbase. Popular with idiots? Hopefully not.

I like my girlfriend because she’s autistic. I don’t want some dummy with blond hair and orange skin.
- Comment on Is lemmy really any different from reddit? 4 months ago:
That’s what I’m thinking. Take the best of Reddit and leave the toxic stuff. The source is open, after all.
- Comment on What do I put down on my resume? 4 months ago:
Describe the work you are doing and the equipment you use. Talk about the fact that you have received training to use this equipment. You don’t need to say anything else. If your next employer wants you to be certified on their particular machines they will train you.

How much of that gas did you huff?
- Comment on Is lemmy really any different from reddit? 4 months ago:
Not for profit would be its singular difference. The devs have attempted to recreate original Reddit and largely succeeded.
The aspects of it that could do with improvement are addiction potential. We shouldn’t have endless scrolling and perhaps have timers to limit exposure.
It’s still male dominated but generally non toxic for your average white guy in tech.

Behind that stony facade I think Putin has quite a good sense of humour.
It’s even more outrageous since the British would never engage in this sort skulduggery 🙄
This is news for chumps and delusional fanbois

It does depend what we’re talking about. The geology of Himalaya or computer technology? One of these things didn’t change much in the last forty years.

By the time it came to writing my thesis at age 37 I had already dedicated twenty years learning the vagueries of MS Word and ten debugging compilation errors of MATLAB. There was no way I was going to take on another language at that point.
This was short sighted because all it meant is that I didn’t have any control over compilation errors because Word does it for you, badly.
