Brooklyn Public Library suffers from its own cultural preconceptions. If you want something that speaks for workers rights you could do worse than read B. Traven, but his work is barely available. Hollywood made the Treasure of the Sierra Madre into a film, so that one cannot be censored, however you can't grab the Mahogany cycle or the Wobbly - if you did the children might ask why the rent is too high!

And those of a more conservative bent will be disappointed, too. No Ernst Jünger for you! Yes, you can get the Rain of Steel, it's too well known to be suppressed, but not the Adventurous Heart or the (very topical) Glass Bees. And heaven forfend you read the Marble Cliffs!

But genderqueer stuff on top of genderqueer stuff, and the rent is still too high.
The PID is helpful to keep the boiler at a stable temperature because its volume is small but does little to keep the group head stable. The group itself gets either too hot or too cold and thats a much more challenging problem. The boiler has to be hotter than the group due to losses but you don’t want to be constantly circulating water either so a lot of trade offs have to happen.

One of the better ways I’ve seen is that the water tank is directly above the group. It makes the group very stable but unfortunately makes the machine itself prone to tipping due to high cg.

Yeah, I'm giving them too much credit and I was presuming you'd want to collect every piece of content written (news articles mainly) and that would be the context, but it'd be too much data for a prompt and probably not needed to create a book. I was thinking the book would actually be full of real world data and real commentary etc.

You could probably just ask GPT to come up with decent chapter headings for a book about a recent large wildfire and how it impacts climate change policy.

Then for each chapter heading give it a couple of pages of input info and ask it to write a chapter based on the content and the heading.

Bet it's a really bad book if this is even close to how it was made.
I wonder why the dense liquid? Only to save the storage tank or will it able to generate higher power? Probably both because the potential is proportional to the specific weight of the medium.

It's just a fact that a lot of writing doesn't translate into very watchable TV if you take it too literally. Asimov especially usually wrote weak characters that aren't interesting, only the grander structure is. That doesn't work for a TV adoptation.

Foundation ironically is getting the most praise for the storyline that is not based on the books but deals with a subject that is thematically a good fit for an Asimov book (the "genetic dynasty"), because they managed to keep characters (and actors) around as their archetypes, not as the literal same character.

For the storyline more closely related to the book, they had to have three characters "cheat death" into a 150 year time jump to enable any kind of character building.
That's absolutely part of the plan here: I want to grow Datasette to a size where I can have full-time UX and design people working with me on it.

I'm also cautiously optimistic about the role LLMs can play here - hence https://llm.datasette.io/

Journalists are good at words. An interface to their data that plays to their strengths there feels like it could be transformational - provided it doesn't hallucinate at them!
Same here. Quite the opposite, really. The thread itself is a great example of this.
High inertia/slow response is challenging to control systems in general, especially to linear systems like pure PIDs (especially if your 'slow response' is well modeled as transport delay, rather than just... slow response).

Bang-bang controllers with deadzones/hysteresis are really the simplest form of non-linear controllers, and so can do okay at something like an HVAC system, especially when precise tracking of target isn't needed. But you can strap all sorts of non-linear things (gain scheduling, hysteresis, etc) onto the form of PID to try to get decent macro scale behavior, while still having reasonable fine tracking performance. Though obviously, it becomes much much more complicated to tune.

I always encourage people who have this viewpoint to go and talk with your local homeless community.

Bring some food and small bills with you as basically bribes and just talk with some folks. Ask them how they came to be homeless, what they do in their day, what they want to do.

Give them your idea, ask them if they think it's a good idea.
Fair enough, but doesn’t the same principle apply? Namely, that if we really want to solve the problem, the root issues need to be the priority?

You seem to agree with this, but that doesn’t necessarily align with the OP. Giving no strings attached housing isn’t fixing root issues.
Thanks for the quiz and free advice.

I'll ask you a few questions in return: does it seem like I have not put a fair bit of thought into my storage needs? Do I seem ignorant of disk topologies and their tradeoffs?

In fact, I have run LVM as a storage manager in the past. There are many reasons I prefer ZFS. It is more rigid in some ways, and the benefits outweigh the bit of vdev inflexibility that I have to put up with. Perhaps understanding these preferences would be worthwhile before trying to tell me how to improve.

Frankly, you come across as trying to convince me that I am wrong and that you know better. There were several points that I brought up repeatedly which you have dismissed out of hand. As just one example, you insist on dismissing the benefit of improved random IOPS, despite admitting that there is a measurable improvement when running a pair of mirrors; I stated several times that it is objectively better (which you never debated) and I experience a subjective improvement in responsiveness (which you repeatedly dismiss as trivial, negligible, or otherwise unimportant. Regardless of any difference of opinion, flatly dismissing what I have to say is not a great approach to educating or advising. Forcing me to repeat myself without actually addressing the point is rude at best.

So, given that you clearly do not listen to me, I will treat your advice as worth exactly what I paid for it. And I hope you will forgive me if I do not consider repeating the same ideas and dismissing what I have to say as "idle curiosity". I do not say this out of malice. I have no reason to believe your intent is anything other than you say, but your intent is irrelevant; the effect of your communication is as I have described above.

Hopefully someone else reading this thread will learn something.

Besides what everyone else is describing, people forget that JVM was designed for Java only, while Common Language Runtime was designed as a polyglot runtime, including support for C and C++, and to this day C++ is officially supported, even if only on Windows (as Visual C++ is the only production compiler with a CLR backend).

I'm familiar with algorithmic and manual tuning, and the more latency the system has, the more time consuming and harder it is to get right. Genuinely curious how a block diagram would help?
The article has a lot of words and a lot of fluff. Long story short, any PID is always minimizing error (target value - desired value). You can imagine the proportional (the P) is just a linear scale like maybe 10W is required to increase the mass 1 degree). The intergration (the I) of the error takes care of steady state error (since you’re always taking the area between the target and desired). The derivative (the D) takes care of response since you’re taking the derivative of the error, aka the rate of change.

Since when does a PID controller need an MCU? You can build one out of op-amps, resistors, and capacitors. Whether you should is a different story.

(I’ve never been convinced that a PID controller really makes sense for a heater where there may not be much natural cooling going on, but that’s a different story.)
The unstated suggestion here seems to be that the government is not already THE (and best) system of control.

The market didn't outlaw slavery (because it loved the profits); the government did.

The market didn't limit the work week to 40 hours (because it loved the profits); the government did.

The government is the moral conscience of the people. The market is a mindless paperclip maximizer. You can't expect it to care about anything individuals care about, like not being slaves or being healthy or having a life.
I had never heard of the channel and was thrilled to learn about it. FWIW.
Would you mind spelling the difference a bit more clearly? The comment chain has another comment that the browsers developers actually develop for a specific browser (usually Chrome because larger userbase), and this choice developers make influences which browsers users like to use because websites supposedly work better on that browser. So there seems to be variation in implementing the standards you refer to.

I don't know much about browser diversity (Chrome and Firefox give near-identical experiences to me as a user), so I personally don't feel that the argument developers significantly influence users holds much water (of course facts don't care about my feelings which may be wrong). I think the only time I noticed a significant difference as a user was when Firefox didn't implement a certain download API allowing for large downloads like Chrome, and I only encountered that difference in using Mega (the upload service).
Brit Boomer. I grew up in a single parent family near the bottom of the heap in England. What kept us going and saved me from early death or a life of crime or drug dependency was the welfare state. The NHS, free school meals and host of other measures meant that there was a safety net in place, even so much was done by charities like the NSPCC. Later there were grants, with tuition fees paid, to go to higher education. For me, seeing how the other 50% or so lived was truly eye opening.

Post Thatcher, the safety nets have been allowed to fall into disrepair if not discarded entirely. Modern Britain is not a place to grow up poor in.
Modern buildings can be surprisingly sound proof. I’ve seen apartments where you close the window overlooking a busy street at rush hour and it’s complete silence inside.

And I’ve lived in detached suburban houses where you can hear your neighbors sneeze.
Love this, I agree that for someone new to QM the historical approach is probably not the best idea (though I can imagine many physicists would be upset by the qbistic vibes of the article).

But, if you have the prerequisites already (classical mechanics, electrodynamics and thermodynamics), it does make for a fascinating story. Malcolm Longair's couple of books titled "Concepts in Physics" are a great place where you can learn the history in detail.
On SO, any of these answers would be downvoted to death by people not recognising them as jokes at all. Language lawyer types would cite the part of the standard that classifies this as UB in the blink of an eye. It’s a different world we’re living in.
Interesting project. How do you propose to sanitize the results? I used your example endpoint above and called it for chartreuse. Instead of just giving me a direct hex code like `#0000FF` for the blue example, it returned `The hex code for chartreuse in CSS is #7FFF00.`, which I'm pretty sure most systems would choke on. It seems to do this for a about 1/3 to 1/4 of my queries. Asking for a color it doesn't like causes it to choke and return an "I'm sorry, I cannot blah blah blah" response.
Nice work! Curious how you see the differentiation from similar products, like https://www.trudo.ai/, https://promptitude.io/, https://www.fixie.ai/, https://www.baseplate.ai/ and others.

> it makes sense for many authors to go to a publisher and have a back-and-forth with an editor and end up with only 10% of the gross sales, and this implies that 90% of the value isn't really coming from the author

I'm not arguing for any kind of philosophical "labor theory of value". My point is very practical: writers need royalties. Yes it sucks for the writers that they only get 10-20% of the sales, but it's infinitely better than 0%!

> as you agree, most authors cannot sustain themselves from just the writing, only rare exceptions like JK Rowling and Stephen King.

I don't agree with that and didn't say it. In fact it's empirically false. I said that in the hypothetical scenario with no royalties, most authors wouldn't be able to sustain themselves. In the real world, there are a lot of professional writers other than Rowling and King who make a decent, good, or even great living.

The reason that the film writers and actors are going on strike is that streaming and AI are an existential threat to them. But it can't be an existential threat if they don't exist in the first place. Professional writers and actors do exist aside from the super rich and famous ones (who are striking more in solidarity than from personal fear). Of course show business is very difficult to get into; nonetheless, it's a lucrative industry supporting countless professionals. And most of them need their royalties, because they don't get the giant unfront checks that the big stars do.
> The point of writing code is having the computer do the thing you want.

Correct. We definitely agree here. Most importantly, we didn't talk about the specification at all in this sentence. The behavior of the computer is what we care about. And UB only exists in the spec, it's not a thing compilers or computers do (it's an absence of specification about what a theoretical compiler would do).

> If there's no predictable outcome, then it should never be done.

I also agree here. But, with a particular compiler there is almost always a predictable outcome.

> BTW, the outcome can also change depending on optimization level.

And here, I think you're actually being too conservative. It can change with much more than just the optimization level. If you're doing intentional UB, you'd want to freeze not only your optimization level, but your entire flag set. And changing any of them could lead to months of debugging and fixing things.

This trade-off is almost never worth it. But I maintain that the "almost" belongs in that sentence.

I've found that it's less about who is more burdened, but how the burden is dealt with.

I would concur, especially with control devices that can turn on to heat.

Although, a lot of more basic controllers only handle binary states for input. I'd argue that a calibrated (bang-bang with thermistor/thermocouple) on an analog control would be much easier to tune and easier to implement. That way, the hysteresis could be dynamically tuned out of the system with a constant input to stabilize losses.

I did something similar to that with I experimented with a peltier heated 3d printing bed. I fried the first batch of peltiers since I wasn't aware they *HATED* binary states, and would die in a crack of the ceramic matrix. My next round was to implement "Using PWM to Generate an Analog Output" ( https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/90003250A.pd... )

TLDR (b/c AI predictions are overhyped): "Fluctuation Exists" in systems (including economic systems, societies, mechanical systems, etc.)

A modern, industrialized, knowledge-centric economy is constantly having to re-skill. (It seems to be largely due to innovation, but I am just guessing.)

e.g. A new technology comes in-- creating a rise demand for skills to use it, and a decline in demand for skills to use what it replaces.

The dichotomy of skills entering into and leaving importance & scarcity is apparent via the following lists of occupations:

You think people didn’t know about other gods until they could drive? Technology gives people corn syrup and adderall while religion can’t fix a toothache.

And Science is just as much a religion as Christianity or any other religion at this point. “Trust the Science”, “I Believe Science is Real”, “Science is True Whether You Believe in it or Not”
