Underwriter''s lab approval of DIY Box Fans

UL has reviewed the Corso Box fans and found them to be safe from overheating. The fan I bought at Home depot also had a thermal protection switch Underwriter's Lab approval of DIY Box Fans "Across all fan/filter test scenarios, the most notable temperature increases were observed at the motor and motor windings. However, all measured temperatures fell below the maximum acceptable thresholds defined by the market safety standard for electric fans (UL 507). Exterior surfaces that can come into direct contact with people remained below 36 °C, which is below the first-degree burn potential of 47.5 °C. Further, an extreme scenario where both the front and back of the fan were blocked for an extended period of 7 hours did not pose any observable fire hazards. And after an initial rise, temperature remained steady throughout the test."

Visionaries and GPT advice - raw transcript

This is a raw transcript of my chat with OpenGPT 4.0. my input is shown in these black blocks while GPT's response is in the lighter sections. Lots of interesting tidbits, but I think it shows some of the conversational power of the technology. I'll edit and summarize this later... there have been many visionaries in the past who studied ways that humanity could lift itself up with improved intelligence. I am looking for these thinkers, and would like to learn how GPT-4 opens new avenues to explore their thinking using AI. Who were these thinkers? Many visionaries throughout history have explored ways to enhance human intelligence and elevate our collective understanding. Some prominent thinkers in this area include: Francis Bacon (1561-1626): An English philosopher and scientist, Bacon is known for developing the scientific method. He believed that knowledge could be systematically pursued and organized to improve human life. René Descartes (1596-1650): A French philosop...

Retroinformation ideas

Here are some ideas that I've been throwing around over the years. Vernor Vinge and I used to talk about these things at our lunches the Greek restaurant in Sorrento Valley. Retroinformation: Information that can be communicated between different eras and scales. Wormhole Transport Protocol (WTP) an information transport layer that extends HTTP to allow endpoint servers to be in different eras or scale. HTTP with parameters for era and time domain. Information is filtered via a CASER mechanism, which blocks information that is not self-consistent. Channels may open up between scales, such as quantum and macro scales, or ants and their ant colony, or worms and their ecosystem. Wormhole Transport Markup Language (WTML). A language used to describe the communication channel to communicate between endpoints using the WTP servers. This language protocol will start out simply, and evolve as the level of trust and consistency increases. Era: a time domain, describ...

openGPT chat ab out the using language model for health care

This is a transcript of an openGPT chat I had January 27, 2022. My comments are preceded with "T:" and it's comments are preceded with a C: T: I'm wondering how I can use you to reform our health care system C:There are many ways that a language model like me can be used to help reform the healthcare system. One way is by using natural language processing to analyze large amounts of data from electronic medical records to identify patterns and insights that can inform the development of more effective treatments and policies. Additionally, I can be used to generate written content, such as reports, presentations, and educational materials, that can be used to educate healthcare professionals and the general public about important healthcare issues. Additionally, I could assist in creating chatbots that can interact with patients, providing them with information about their health, and helping them schedule appointments, and answer some of the common questions. T: ve...
