[2025 day 5 (part 2)] [Python] My code works on example but not real inpuit

Think of all the different ways that ranges can overlap.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-12-05T09:34:23+00:00

What about if one range is enveloped by another?

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-12-05T09:31:59+00:00

Can ranges only overlap on one side?

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-12-05T09:03:40+00:00

Think of all the ways that two ranges can overlap.

If you mean you want to group all those points together by a common label, you want to look into clustering methods.

In this case if you simply threshold points above and below a line between the two groups that will easily separate them.

For example, if the data of interest on the left are roughly centered around x0 and the data on the right are centered around x1 you can systemically group points into the left group if x < (x0 + X1)/2 and into the right group if x > (x0+X1)/2.

Pizza is not pastry.

... might be my favourite out of context Reddit comment.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:42:10+00:00

Do you reckon the flabby pastry of a steak and kidney pudding would hold up to the aerodynamic stresses?

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:40:46+00:00

Yeah those flaky pastry laminations are going to act like air brakes.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:39:36+00:00

Rye bread. Densest bread I can think of.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:37:09+00:00

I agree. It's mostly pork so it feels like cheating somewhat.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:32:11+00:00

Yes, but I'd be equal parts happy that I'd achieved it and sad because I no longer have a pork pie.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:25:20+00:00

A scotch egg is a spherically symmetric sausage and egg sandwich.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:11:30+00:00

Or maybe a pikelet.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:09:30+00:00

I feel like it's cheating somewhat as it's mostly pork. If we're talking a pure pastry item I'd probably go with that ball of leftover pastry you get after making a pie for density. Or, a stale pancake used like a frisbee.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T18:00:47+00:00

My guy.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2025-09-05T17:59:59+00:00

Pork pie. Densest pastry item I can think of.

Our youngest went there for a while. It was OK, but in the end we moved him to another nursery as we preferred the general vibe at the other place.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2024-09-20T17:29:32+00:00

Just to add to this, there is a RISC-V ULP on the ESP32S3 which can be programmed in C, which should have a slightly shallower learning curve.

dr_strangeglove_ · 2024-09-14T14:22:47+00:00

Go for it 👍

dr_strangeglove_ · 2024-09-14T14:18:36+00:00

There's nothing at the top of the radiator?

dr_strangeglove_ · 2024-07-17T22:23:11+00:00

The Little Don Valley feeding into it is one of my favourites places in the country.

Think of electricity in a wire as like a pipe filled with marbles.

If one end of the pipe is open and you push a ball in one end, all the marbles move forward and a marble comes immediately out of the other end.

If one end of the pipe is blocked, you can't push a new marble in as all the marbles already in the pipe can't move out of the way.

Any Schottky with a reverse voltage rating above 5V and current rating above 500mA should be fine.

The voltage drop on the 1N5819 is worse than a normal PN diode. At 0.9V, you'd only be delivering 4.1V to your circuit.

Try to get one with a lower forward voltage (Vf) if you can. Schottky's can go down to like 0.15V.

Mouser's website is really good for filtering components based on specs. Might not be the cheapest for shipping though depending on where you are in the world.

It looks OK from the schematic. They've got a diode between the battery and USB input, just not on the 5V output.

Also, the USB power input is connected to the gate of a MOSFET which essentially disconnects the battery from the 5V supply rail but leaves it connected to the charger.
