@ArchiteuthisFlux [holds up a PID controller] BEHOLD! an intelligent system!
@gardencourt My attempt formally to define humans as featherless biPIDs have been crushed.

@ArchiteuthisFlux while this is funny and it made me chuckle I have to ask why you're still validating X by visiting the place?
@rozeboosje 'Cause I like to see a variety of insufferable takes. Thank you for the extremely mastodon one here.

@ArchiteuthisFlux maybe it could be argued that a learning system reduces the variance and standards deviation of its corrections, while possibly increasing frequency?

@ArchiteuthisFlux previous version had moth and a flame.

@ArchiteuthisFlux and the algorithm they think is intelligent works on the same principle as a thermostat.

I have no way to make this seem at all relevant but now that this post has broken containment, you should get a Jumperless V5
@ArchiteuthisFlux I made the two terrible mistakes of buying the original in 2024, and then being unemployed. I'm sure I'll eventually cave for the shiny new thing though...
(And no I'm not in any serious way saying buying the original was a mistake, god I hate jumper wires for what should be a relatively simple test circuit being thrown together, which is most of my breadboard use)

@ArchiteuthisFlux I guess my rice cooker claims that it's capable of fuzzy logic.
It is a simple expert system that says "how long cooking?" "is it hot?" "ok done"
I'm sure the first thermostats were billed as intelligent automata freeing you from the labor of opening the flue manually.

@ArchiteuthisFlux I dunno, that diagram looks kinda tacky.

@turmoni Not to tempt you further, but I do have a $150 off discount code for "upgrade pricing."
I have no way to automatically verify you have an OG Jumperless so the process is just DMing me and I'll take your word for it and send you a code.

@grumble209 @ArchiteuthisFlux
I want to know now how they thought "be a lighthouse" helped.What was their angle? Something about shining or guiding or just working all night?
@smallsees @ArchiteuthisFlux I think their idea was to "shine a light" instead of bitching. It was all rather vague.

@grumble209 @smallsees Just from skimming the intro (through snark colored glasses), I think the word they were actually looking for was Panopticon.

@ArchiteuthisFlux Garbage in, garbage out. Tell a computer to punch itself in the face and it absolutely will.

@ArchiteuthisFlux Could they be delivering groceries to the lighthouse?

@FredricT Ohhh I hope so, that looks like such a fun job

@ArchiteuthisFlux @smallsees HR is a mixed bag; some great folks, some not so much.
I've had fewer WTF? moments dealing with corporations as a contractor than as an employee. I've found the people in Accounts Payable much easier to deal with than HR.

@ArchiteuthisFlux also, that's not how you navigate, at all.
It looks more like a sailboat tacking, and failing to pay attention to the massive lighthouse in their direction of travel

@sortius @ArchiteuthisFlux not to be nitpicky but: don't boats steer port/ starboard, not left/right?
