I haven't gone beyond reading the page, but the intent matches my intuition that we need tools for better following (and agreeing upon?) good "geometries" for arguments.

If only we had some technology that could reliably execute if-then instructions.

(Recalling a time when people would say: "If only we had something [Google] that could look up an answer for that.")

I recommend a look at https://healthyhomebuilders.com/ and reading their book, in particular. They explicitly use closed-cell foam and appear to use ZIP-system outer sheathing. The methods they advocate seem in agreement with high-performance building, with extra attention to indoor health. They claim the latter can be done with reasonable extra cost. The book is very informative. I found it at the library when I went specifically to look for Pretty Good House.

I somewhat recall he was warning working engineers, who had not yet learned to anticipate the inevitable, and were not, he felt, being given representation by the IEEE.

My high school electronics teacher stayed in his office muttering "I know enough mathematics to be an engineer." ... while we dry-lab'd all our circuits at our benches.

Back in the days of the Exxon Valdez tanker incident, I wondered if the technology did not exist to positively track such major asset positions/directions, and dispatch an alarm from one or more authorities at a distance.

In terms of powering lights/signals, perhaps solar, batteries and a generator for each patch, and if there is no flashing of light visible (indicating power-loss or stuck-at failure), tower clearance must be given?

FWIW, while in memory lane an obligatory shout-out to Irwin Feest, saying basically before the 1990s: If you outsource the manufacuting, the engineering will follow.

Is "being on the slopes toward a singularity" locally distinguishable from "pulling up the ladders behind you"?

And thus it begins.

This seems to provide a quick overview of chess varients:

> Originally developed in China to feed millions, Chinese greenhouses are earth-sheltered, solar-heated, east-west oriented, intelligently glazed, and well-insulated. They have proven highly effective in growing warm-weather vegetables and fruits like green peppers and tomatoes in cold climates through fall, winter, and early spring using passive solar energy as the sole heat source.

Aren't there many similar bermed (plus very-wide) greenhouses in China, including motorized deploument of insulated covers at night?

Pre cell phones, when wireless pagers were important, I used to wonder: What if everyone had their own 1-baud worth of spectrum.

For different definitions of 'elevate'. For example, some will seek power, which will still be scarcer for others.

Yea, recalling the book of that name might have contributed to my drift of recollection. Solvable earlier on land (but not sea) on terms of clock synchronization.

I just found this[1] which mentions rubber vs. foam surrounds (suspensions), and butyl rubber with apparent good life. (That might have been the simple difference; the normal-looking speaker was already sourced; I came in to do embedded/DSP.) At kilowatt/constant power levels I'd imagine going as far as oil/magnetic suspension for high life; even o-rings under high cycles can fall apart.

I'm pondering how one would do accelerated reliability/life testing for the acoustic heat pump application. Maybe they have good-enough FEA/multiphysics on a suspension and cone, and strain/life curves they are prepared to trust. With a slope on log-log strain vs life they might project how much to overpower/overstrain for an e.g. 1000hr accelerated test.

I once attended a workshop by a guy who had been a salesperson for Piano I, Piano II etc books. He noted that sales of those fell off geometrically for each successive book. So he basically advocated/hawked an improv and "fakebook first" approach, as a means to make enjoyment [potentially] primary.

I had an interesting night some years ago interacting with a Google piano ML available online. It would broadly mirror your input is a sort of call and response way. Even with only a qwerty keyboard (i.e. home row) and really elementary melody/stacatto it was remarkably pleasing. Relatedly, This could be one reason I anticipate great potential with GPT-like tutors.

This and the posted article mention a speaker or driver. No mention of how they deal with aging or fatique effects in e.g. a flexible ring connecting to the frame and holding the cone. Have done applications where a special "high cycles" acoustic driver had to be sourced.

This is sometimes prescribed in such form as: "Fraction X of your reading should be of authors writing at least 100 years ago."

"All contemporary writers [of any period] share, to some extent, the contemporary outlook."

Darn, at some point I started imagining he had a protocol for synchronizing clocks over a distance. assuming the difference was in longitude. (E.g. Symmetric NTP over carrier pidgeon.)

Perhaps "petty dictator" for connotations (a would-be not an absolute dictator). We might or might not have many too-distant impressions of what ancient feudalism involved. For example, I have heard suggested that it was a system fundamentally characterized by reciprocal obligations upward and downward (including a kind of labor law?). Abused no doubt, but not lawless.

I have seen 2L/day of urine output recommended as a target minimum for preventing kidney stones.

> This is why we can’t just keep turning the operation of more and more of our infrastructure and our lives to antiquated software and self-interested executives. Technical debt is real debt. It will eventually be paid by someone. And unless we take steps to hold companies and executives accountable for preventable — and foreseeable — failures, it will be we the public that keep paying.

One key word there, AFAIK, being representation.

To lower the abstraction level a bit: In tangible 1-D Schrodinger first-year QM terms: 1) All of the information about the state is in the wave function. 2) Per Fourier type limits, you cannot even represent in a wave function known position and known momentum past a limit on the multiplcative product of calculable "spreads" or uncertainties. (Smaller spread in position as implied in a wavefunction forces larger spread in momentum as calculated from the same.)

This can clarify that the limit is not because "measurement introduces disturbance". Rather, representation forces spread(s).

> Risks Digest is still around

Been so long. Interesting the added attention toward AI, compared to e.g. real-time and high-reliability

I wonder if WeChat as a portal facilitates direct-from-manufacturer sales. Is Amazon a contender in China?

Same strategy. I find ordering at Aliexpress like buying at Costco -- always in more quantity than necessary.

One model: YT for persons without an adblocker.

Make of it what you will, I just saw on the project censored website that protecting student data is seen by some as a major priority. The article seems more PII and cybersecurity focussed, rather than recognizing the threat of intentional monetization.
