#controltheory — Public Fediverse posts

@valthonis I'd submit that it's technically an old world order. I think the system will probably oscillate between the two forms of order at different rates in different territories, albeit over timescales longer than human lifespan. I believe control systems engineers and physiologists call it "hunting behaviour". The tricky thing is the wars that come as one entity wants to wrest power from another. #systemsArchitecture #cybernetics #controlTheory #rayDalio

Idea for AI builders:
LLMs still behave binary at the edge—fluid → snap.
Proposing a graded “Breathing Sheath” between emergence and safety:
a dynamic modulation layer using fractal timing (micro/meso/macro), intention-awareness, and agitation-damping.
Nuance stays; safety holds.
Could this be a root architecture for smoother, steerable LLMs?

Also this is FAR cheaper than spending $1000s on skills-training simulators for endoscopic surgery. As a department, I mean.

The trick is managing skill progression. So after a month, the clear glass plate has to go, then after another month we have to start adhering the snacks to the machine, etc, etc...

Obviously the advanced vending machine will be very difficult to steal from, and the surgeons will have to put it through a CT scanner first to understand the internal layout, before attempting surgery upon it.

Nononono that's not how the #immuneSystem works! I think your very rational point regarding "?what must be set to zero for this to make sense to a systems-architect" is a most excellent one. Any degree of immunity in #healthcare workers contributes to transmissible pathogens being, well, less-transmitted. When these folks are spending all their time caring for the sick and infirm, that's a lot of moments of reduced-transmission (into a ripe breeding-ground for the pathogen) that happen as a result. Don't even get me started on what happens when a whole #hospital ward changes status from some sort of "normal" status to some sort of "infectious" status. There are a LOT of things that have to be valued at (or near) zero for this to make sense.

Also keep in mind that exposure to the pathogen or the vaccine carries some risk... These folks are willing to take that risk - essentially - for free! What a treat.

But wait there's more! These healthcare workers are governed by a famously unsympathetic regulator, who will have little sympathy should standards have fallen because n of the workers were off sick. Those who do go into work are willing to carry that risk, also for free! And even more, some of them might be feeling a bit rubbish too, making it even less probable they can meet those regulatory standards. And they're willing to carry that risk for free too!

I think there's a heap of stuff being valued at zero here, and this is just that which is apparent in a very superficial rant...

The intention is to investigate the grid integration of renewable energy. In particular, the researcher will work on oscillation reduction in floating wind turbines and on the stabilization of power grids using virtual synchronous machines.

2025 is looking like a great year for work at the intersection of #categorytheory, #systemstheory, #controltheory, #machinelearning and #probabilitytheory, this thread will be a very biased collection of works (in no specific order) I'm hoping to read as soon as possible!

Starting with:
"Logical Aspects of Virtual Double Categories"
https://mastoxiv.page/@arXiv_mathCT_bot/113921693949589956

You could think of a tach signal as a pulse density modulation. Each clock period is an implicit sample. If the tach is ticking at 1/200,000 the clock speed, then for 200,000 consecutive clocks, there are 0 samples, then there's a single 1 sample.

So I can run that through a low pass filter and get a very low amplitude speed signal? Are there feasible digital filters that work when the cutoff frequency is orders of magnitude below the sample rate?

Dynamic Programming is one way to arrive at the solution of the Markov Decision Process or MDP used in Reinforcement Learning (RL) problems.

In the third article on the Foundational RL series, I discuss dynamic programming and briefly talk about Approximate Dynamic Programming.

I guess I should write an #introduction.

I've been using the internet since 1992 and contributing to #Wikipedia since 2001. I haven't used Twitter since early 2021 because I decided it was unhealthy, and I used Mastodon a fair bit that year, but then lost my account through, apparently, inactivity, which I didn't realize was even a thing.

I guess I should put some kind of tag cloud here of stuff I'm interested in? Maybe #physics, #Linux, #Debian, #manufacturing, #DSP, #Python, #Numpy, #math (more #algebra than #analysis), #raytracing, #commonsbasedpeerproduction, #creativecommons, #piracy, #scihub, #libgen, #emergence, #solarpunk, #history (especially #Hellenistic and #Mohist), #UX, #HCI, #controltheory, #lifesupport, and #infosec.

Do you miss a tool like #Matlab|s #Simulink but #opensource #freesoftware and :python: #python-based?

Well, I hacked something together years ago and called it "pyblocksim".

Today I revived the project and added a first very rough automatic visualization of the code-defined block diagrams.

If you are concerned with #controltheory or #systemstheory this might be useful.

Application here is how to continuously approximate a hysteresis element with a tanh-function. 🤓
