oh dear. once again, in the eternal battle of MSM & pollies vs facts & science, the former win, ergo further stupidifying & cretinising #TheGreatUnwashed. Sigh.

A senior Victorian Liberal, speaking anonymously for fear of retribution, shares Kean’s concern that the party is stuck in a negative feedback loop.See that? negative feedback loopdweebs commonly reach for that rhetorical device, mistakenly thinking it paints a picture of a dire situation getting worse & worse.

d'oh!
🙄🤦‍♀️

yep, sure, it
sounds bad, doesn't it, coz "ooooh, 'negative'; that's bad & scary, innit!"

well, nope. the term has been purloined in complete ignorance from control engineering. in fact, negative feedback loops are the desirable arrangement, whereas the term the dopey pollie & journo should have used, is "positive feedback loop". but ofc they're not gonna do that, are they, coz "ooooh, 'positive'; that's all light & fluffy & good & wholesome & unicornie,
innit!

no, you ignoramuses...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedbackNegative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.

Whereas positive feedback tends to instability via exponential growth, oscillation or chaotic behaviour, negative feedback generally promotes stability. Negative feedback tends to promote a settling to equilibrium, and reduces the effects of perturbations. Negative feedback loops in which just the right amount of correction is applied with optimum timing, can be very stable, accurate, and responsive.

Negative feedback is widely used in mechanical and electronic engineering, and it is observed in many other fields including biology,[1][2] chemistry and economics. General negative feedback systems are studied in control systems engineering.

Negative feedback loops also play an integral role in maintaining the atmospheric balance in various climate systems on Earth. One such feedback system is the interaction between solar radiation, cloud cover, and planet temperature.
sigh, get orf my bloody lawn!

Moderates despair as the Liberals enter a ‘death spiral’ egged on by Murdoch

Matt Kean, the former Liberal powerbroker and New South Wales state treasurer, despairs at the state of his party. “If people aren’t voting Liberal on economic grounds,” he asks, “then what’s the point of us?” Kean, who now chairs the Climate Change Authority, is referring to the authoritative Australian Election Study, released this week, which found for the first time that voters trust Labor more than the Coalition on economic management.

"Liquid" #neuralnetworks can keep on #machinelearning while embedded in drones to account for unexpected environment, events or noise and improve the commands: https://robohub.org/drones-navigate-unseen-environments-with-liquid-neural-networks/

It reminds me of a fantasy I had when I was a student in #controlengineering: we could design an PID to tune itself to look for better responses and change parameters in face of instabilities.

Dynamic Programming is one way to arrive at the solution of the Markov Decision Process or MDP used in Reinforcement Learning (RL) problems.

In the third article on the Foundational RL series, I discuss dynamic programming and briefly talk about Approximate Dynamic Programming.
