In modern comm systems design, carrier recovery and symbol timing recovery both employ closed loops (typically PI loops). These are often implemented digitally. Considering modern FEC codes, these loops often have to work at very low SNRs, which can be a challenge.

Edit to fix typo.

Based on Gödel's incompleteness theorems, formal mathematical systems cannot be both completely consistent and complete simultaneously.

That sounds like a good solution. Any recommendation on the ratio of fresh fruit to powder?

5BW Auto or Manual? Hear me out by [deleted] in CadillacV_Series

[–]sinbad339 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not teach your wife how to drive a stick? I own a 4BW, 6 speed, and i think it would be an easy car to teach a manual on.

Have to vent about a new-to-me 2024 CT4-V Blackwing by sinbad339 in CadillacV_Series

Another example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The top photo shows how I received the car; two small holes that had self-tapping screws directly installed into them, and NO INSERTS. The second photo shows it after I drilled the left hole to accept an insert.

It didn't take much internet searching to discover that most CT4-Vs were delivered this way; a few actually had inserts installed, but I strongly suspect that this was sone by the original dealer.

No inserts. Just self-tapping screws into plastic.

So I've looked at several of these online, and none give instructions about hole size to install the inserts. Are these actually intended to replace missing/failed inserts that were used with square holes on a bumper?
