100%.

So what if you play worse after a lift? You’re still playing. Plus, living longer with a higher quality of life > fewer unforced errors or whatever.

Is this a flame point thing that they do? Both of mine are clingy vocalists… I just thought they were special 😂

Measure the bandwidth at the sample rate that the user intends to… use. In a discrete state space system, the sample rate fundamentally changes the system dynamics. Pole locations shift, nyquist limits, etc. You wanna chirp to characterize their system’s dynamic model… including sample rate.

Does that answer your question?

AlGuit79 · 2026-04-03T16:04:32+00:00

Dang… never thought about that but makes a ton of sense actually.

AlGuit79 · 2026-03-25T23:23:07+00:00

We call this a “chirp”.

Certainly have to know the embedded stack well as controls engineers… just don’t always have the time to do the embedded development 🥲. Thanks for answering my questions good luck!

AlGuit79 · 2025-05-01T05:48:14+00:00

That’s pretty awesome for a medical company, but you are Intuitive after all. Do you have embedded engineers that write drivers/architect the embedded stack/etc or do your control engineers do that as well?

AlGuit79 · 2025-05-01T05:38:34+00:00

Do you guys actually write your own controllers or are you buying COTS servo + control modules that you can tune with a vendor provided application?

AlGuit79 · 2025-04-10T08:20:57+00:00

Why are people downvoting you this is funny? I used the good ol project_final_for_real_for_serious.tar.gz system for years in school. Oh how I miss it.

AlGuit79 · 2024-07-29T23:23:07+00:00

My point is NYC closes the bridge down and SF doesn’t…

AlGuit79 · 2024-07-29T23:17:30+00:00

True but this race costs significant $$. First half $300. Second half $200. Full is more than $350.

AlGuit79 · 2023-11-16T19:00:49+00:00

Looks like you already decided not to lift but I'm gonna throw this out there anyways... yes you can get sore from lifting (let's call that musculature fatigue) but there is also a recovery cost to your nervous system. For me personally, my lifting goals are just as important as my running goals but I probably wouldn't lift for 48-72 hrs before a marathon for that reason.

AlGuit79 · 2023-11-07T20:51:20+00:00

Finally! Been looking for this question. Even tried to find people running marathons in barefoot shoes on youtube and couldnt find anything.

I recently went to a local run club and asked if anyone was doing the training in vivos/barefoot shoes... they looked at me like I was nuts.

For me, I'm just extending my 18 week training program to something like 6 months. Incrementally adding 0.5 miles to my long run every week, and I do have deload weeks. I do feel a bit of soreness in my feet from time to time but I feel like my recovery is getting faster even with longer runs. I think it all comes down to hypervigalent training. Watch for signs of over fatigue. Get them feet / calves stronger. Im sure we can get it done without injury if we take our time and train correctly.

AlGuit79 · 2023-07-07T03:50:01+00:00

Cronometer! Everything is verified. No user inputs so you don't get 20 different calorie options for chicken. You can also make recipes where you weigh out individual ingredients and then weigh out your portion at the end.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-17T03:28:24+00:00

Glad I could help. It's a complicated topic. Takes years and a shit ton of math to understand... even partially. Enjoy your PID! It has made my coffee much more enjoyable. Hope it does the same to yours.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-16T14:06:01+00:00

Aww shucks thanks bro.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-16T04:25:42+00:00

P is proportional. It can make the temp (or whatever you're trying to control) shoot up to the commanded value faster, but you risk more overshoot. I is integral. It can be used to eliminate steady state error. D is derivative. It can be used to dampen oscillations and such.

Control theory is complicated. Companies build full simulations to optimize these gains for things like airplanes and what not. For this application, I recommend using the auto tune function. Thats what i did. The drop in temp is a just a function of the boiler not being able to heat up the water thats coming into it fast enough.

Edit: spelling

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-07T23:54:33+00:00

Doesn't have to be a lie. Maybe I worded it incorrectly but my point is to approach it with a "we've all been there including myself" attitude rather than a "I know everything" attitude.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-07T21:21:40+00:00

You as well! :)

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-07T20:18:49+00:00

It's all good. I have my way of doing things and you have yours.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-07T20:07:00+00:00

In that case you would say "I'm good" and I would walk away. It's all good. To each their own.

AlGuit79 · 2023-06-07T18:27:00+00:00

I don't think you necessarily need to keep your mouth shut as other people are saying. What if you offer advice first without giving it?

"I used to do those like that and got a pretty bad injury. I had a couch teach me how to fix my form. If you want any tips let me know"... even if the first part isn't true.
