just came to know some electric kettles use PID control; yeah, that same control theory we use in robotics and industrial systems
PID is literally everywhere once you start noticing it:
• thermostats holding perfect temperature
• drones maintaining altitude
• EV motors regulating torque
• ovens keeping stable heat
• cruise control in cars
• camera gimbals balancing like ninjas
• even espresso machines dialing in the perfect shot
PID is the unsung hero of precision.
you tune three numbers right; and the whole system behaves like it has a brain
In Season 5 of Man with Two Hands in State Coffers it’s easy to believe every Kenyan has a price, that we have all been infected by decades of smelly examples.
If you are looking for hope, watch @JohnSibiOkumu ’s Kaggia.
Heroism does not wear shiny clothes or ride in motorcades.
New post up on my substack. A bit of a lengthy one today. Brief look into the history of the Kenyan constitution and a breakdown of the categories of the Democratic Index to determine whether we really are a democracy.
