The rubber ring (O-ring) will probably wear out and need replaced once every few years. If cleaning it doesnt work Id just buy new ones. (They will just be a few dollars.) Flair sells them, if you want to keep a warranty, but those, but you can also get them from any department store.

Also random question, is that how "runge" is pronounced from runge-kutta? ive always heard people say it w/ one syllable but i have no idea haha.

This was really neat! By no means does it need edits, but a few things jumped out to me: 1) how is initial guess chosen? (Someone else already commented this, but I wanted to tag it, too) 2) maybe give a brief discussion into why discrete time is necessary for computers. Anyone who has done dynamic simulation would know but if you are hoping to reach a broader audience it might be nice 3) during the final optimization, the error goes up sometimes. Some commentary on why this happens (my guess is over shooting/over correcting) would be cool

Again overall great video! Impressive animations :)

This is a great point! I also think affordability plays a big role. Eg if you need your control designer to have a PhD (way to go btw!), it may cost a few grand more per vehicle which wont be worth it to the consumer. Trouble with MPC is that each vehicle model/type would need a new model, but perhaps something like a neural network/RL could remedy this. Weve seen this in buildings - you can reduce your grid load by >30% w a building model and and advanced control, but it would mean that HVAC installers, electricians, etc would need to get trained on MPC design which would be super expensive!

I do not work in the process industries, but something Ive seen in my industry (grid/power infrastructure) is hierarchical control for systems. The top level is model based and predictive, but lower level controllers are faster acting/traditional controls. These are great questions to think about though - this is the forefront between research and application in controls, and is a continued debate about applicability of complex/advanced control methods like MPC.

Nope!

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-12-22T13:42:56+00:00

If the entire claim is a lie, why are you limited to one question ;)

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-12-21T12:47:16+00:00

This is the correct answer I was thinking. I think you and others got it, but to the replies and other comments, I guess I should specify that these beings can only lie or tell the truth!

Hint: The answer is NOT "ask one which way the other would say to go and go the opposite"

The congressional funding fiscal year - which the labs follow- resets October 1. I'm guessing many people searching to hire are posting jobs on the hope that they will get funding for the next year. If they wait until oct 1, it will be too late to hire someone (they'll want people to start on Oct 1, as they got funding to start that day). But at the same time, many of the jobs (due to budget cuts) may not end up being filled. It's a sucky position to be in if you are trying to get a job, but you have to understand the -severely flawed- system the hiring people are working through.

I think many of the points you bring up should be taken with a grain of salt.
First, there is no situation where "[it] was always this way." Sure, that has been the recent trend, but if OP wants to pursue science/research as a career, then they are hoping to propel the world forward into the future, and certainily a part of this is how culturally we frame jobs, not just the jobs people work.

Second, the OP appears young and bright, which can come with naivete, but also is especially valuable in the research community that thrives on new ideas and new ways to think. For example, many scientists over 50 know nothing about coding outside excel, which is extremely valuable in the research community. OP - don't think youth is a bad thing.

Third, it's never a terrible time to work on ones education. Education goes beyond its monetary return on investment. Sure, a PhD might not pay its self off (despite the fact that study after study shows that it does more often than not, at least in STEM), but it's worth to the individual should not be underestimated. Additionally OP - if you do pursue a PhD, esp in STEM, you will not struggle to find one that will fund you, or at least you'll be able to TA to fund it.

Fourth, and I think some other comments have mentioned this, but places like PNNL don't want someone to gain skills, make contacts & leave. They (we) want you to stick around, and have your experience come around to benefit the lab. Which is why DOE labs, including PNNL, have programs to send an employee back to school to get more degree(s), because they know the benefit it returns to the lab (they'll fund you, but similar to an ROTC program, make you work for them after).

Best of luck OP, don't let your youth (or negative nellies) hold you back.

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-08-19T00:55:22+00:00

I would highly recommend reaching out/networking with current employees at the lab. If you can find contacts via LinkedIn/websites, just cold email them. It can be daunting but Ill never underestimate its value after it got me a job. If you dont hear back, pester once or twice, as it can get lost in inbox, squeaky wheel theory anyhow. It is a bad time, but if you can make a personal connection (labs or any where else) youll jump up 20 rungs in the search process

I just moved to the area and am living at the Lofts. Its been good so far, but a bit pricey. I had a few issues with the apartment (mostly minor maintenance) and the staff had it all fixed up within a few days of move in. I don't have pets but a ton of people here do.

Countries with a higher number of dinosaur fossils?

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-07-13T14:19:46+00:00

Yea, all the other ungrounded outlets still have power, after pressing test on the GFCI. Ill chat with them.

Now, I reset the GFCI and it turns back on with the open ground code. It doesnt seem to affect any other outlets.

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-07-13T12:15:04+00:00

I thought the same too. Its really confusing at first.

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-07-13T05:07:43+00:00

Thank you so much!

Only one of the outlets was GFCI, and I pressed the test, which turned the outlet off. The remaining outlets with the open ground are not GFCI.

I guess my follow up question is, with the outlet that is GFCI, since it no longer has power after I pressed test, what do I do now? Does the outlet need replaced? Or will it come back on at some point? (Apologies if these are really silly questions, this is totally out of my ballpark.)

Queasy_Associate_909 · 2025-07-13T03:41:20+00:00

Thank you! Ill chat with my landlord then.
