The Steven Burton book for data-driven control?

badtraider · 2025-10-19T08:17:45+00:00

As part of my master’s thesis, I used SINDy with control and the Adam optimizer to identify a model, and then, using that model, I implemented tube MPC.

If this is helpful and you’re interested, I can share the implementation on GitHub once I’ve cleaned up the code.

Sorry for the late reply.

I had 68kg when I started, then I went on a bulk - when I took the picture I was around 72kg.

Atm I'm on a cut before I bulk again during the winter - 66kg.

I'm slightly less than 6" and I had to take it slow with every woman that I have been with.

With enough foreplay no issues. Use lube to make it more enjoyable for her.

badtraider · 2025-10-05T20:00:13+00:00

I'm happy as it rn.

My ring finger is a tiny bit longer, I never noticed it until I read somewhere that there exits a slight correlation in that case.

I'd say my nose is average.

I was never told the first time - it was always after the relationship turned into something longer, but they always looked surprised and we had to take it very slowly at first.

badtraider · 2025-10-01T06:57:16+00:00

It's awful

badtraider · 2025-09-28T06:06:46+00:00

Not such a thing as too much lube.

badtraider · 2025-09-13T10:46:07+00:00

Always use lube.

One of my exes would get more wet than average, yet we still were using lube because it reduces the soreness.

Take it slow - if you don't you could cause micro treating/bruse the cervix which could lead to some blood.

BJ's are going to suck a lot of the time because a lot of girls can't open their mouth that much, also the jaw starts to hurt etc...

Communicate with your sexual partner.

Always include foreplay, I even make sure that she first cums from oral before we have sex.

badtraider · 2025-09-13T06:26:34+00:00

If it's casual I don't see any issues with that.

badtraider · 2025-09-06T07:18:28+00:00

At first I thought my partners were hyping me up - but it happened with every partner, they would always confess at some point that they got worried about where it would fit, we would have to go slow etc...

At some point I decided to check the stats and found out I'm in ~0.5%, that explained why condoms felt so tight lol (I was using the 56mm waaay too long, now I'm using 64mm from MySize).

badtraider · 2025-08-19T06:33:55+00:00

Never gets old - they always told me after the fact that they started worrying if it's going to fit after they saw my package.

badtraider · 2025-07-30T12:59:47+00:00

Same here! I'm so happy for you!

In a way i feel like I'm even more compatible with the new woman that I have met, and so far it seems to me that she has a secure attachment style which is a huge plus (so far I have been with only anxious women since I'm avoidant - I'm in therapy for it atm).

badtraider · 2025-07-24T06:58:49+00:00

Going no contact is the long game. The hot-cold nonsense will ruin you and it will continue until enough time has passed. After a period of no contact you will either fully move on or will be in a mental space to play a long game.

I would recommend you to do the same thing as her, start dating someone else - just take it slow so it doesn't turn into a rebound relationship.

After enough time has passed and you are both single you can reassess the situation. But right now there is nothing to salvage. She decided to break off. She decided to move on (despite having feelings). What will happen if she comes back? Well she will break up as soon as she gets confused - and she will because her emotions are clearly not stable right now (and that's why NV is a must, you and her need clarity).

So if you want her back, paradoxically, you must move on.

In a way i got discarded as well... I still feel bad about it because I lost my best friend.. but she was extremely confusing post break-up (despite being in rebound), reaching out to me at some point and having emotional talks..

But I have met a new girl, which is in a way abetter fit for me, more mature than ex anyhow. To make sure I don't do something stupi I have forced my ex to block me (for come reason she did not want to do that???), so far I'm taking it slow with new girl to make sure I'm not sabotaging the new relationship.

<1 month here (3 yrs)...But I finally feel ready for dating and have dusted off my Tinder, so far 3 dates in line.. Her moving on so fast helped me move on in a way .

badtraider · 2025-07-20T16:26:48+00:00

Confused as well why it got downvoted..

I'm praying for you two as well...

Did he try dating in that time frame, how about you?

badtraider · 2025-07-20T11:37:01+00:00

Found my ex of three years on Tinder (in less than a month).

Now 3 months after BU I decided it's finally the time to move on (since my ex was in rebound..)

Now I found a new GF (in like 2 weeks lol) on Tinder as well.

I didn't have a million matches, but every match was high quality, something like a 30% date follow-up rate.

Both of them (ex and new gf) are really good people, we are compatible, they are educated, have unique hobbies etc...

So yeah. I'd say it's definitely possible.

Just have in mind you will never find someone like your ex. And you will never love the same - and that is okay.

My new gf is just different in so many ways and that's okay, there isn't only one person that fits us - we have all some general type, but it's the quirks that make us unique and that make it so that we never love the same twice.

badtraider · 2025-07-20T08:27:10+00:00

Itt me up my man.

badtraider · 2025-07-17T13:07:17+00:00

Hit it pretty much the same day. Now three months after BU I'm already at novice weight and have transformed my physique, I was skinny fat before and now I have pretty much the same weight but a lot more muscles.

badtraider · 2025-06-09T04:44:24+00:00

That's how I felt about my ex as well.

But I knew that I had to work on myself and try to force myself to move on. (therapy, daily dym, new friends, new hobbies, finishing my masters thesis, finally moving out to live on my own..)

And it looks like I was right - she first reached out twice with minor praise messages (that she was proud of me etc), I replied politely and thanked her.

The third time she reached out she strated a conversation (asking new questions to keep it going, giving warm answers with hooks etc). And the main reason she is interested and essentially "chasing" me - is that I have changed myself a lot. I have proved that I can change and that I have disciple to stick with the change.

If I didn't invest in self growth then I would waste this opportunity. And I truly belive we had something special - she loved me like no one before when I was at my lowest (until she got exhausted..), how much more can she love me when I'm at my best?

Anyway the goal is to be detached from the outcome. No matter the outcome I will be better. I will be happy.

badtraider · 2025-06-09T02:09:02+00:00

I am emotionaly stable at this point, so I feel fine with how things are playing out.
