I feel obliged to be very clear. I am not a luddite. I’m not anti-technology. In any case it would be a losing battle. I can see a lot of areas in which #AI has an important place and where it could make our lives much, much better.

The fact that it is being applied in areas that rob us of our voices, of our creative expression, of the need to build skill to attain the proficiency that engenders pride….

Wow. How fucking self-hating is that?

He knows this line works on our racists. IMO we should still know how to refute it.

Thousands of non-combatants were held in Israeli torture facilities such as Sde Teiman. Their imprisonment was unlawful and a greater injustice. So Hamas took innocents, but Israel took many more. To demand one-sidedly they let go of their bargaining chip, shows Israel are again forcing their racism on the Palestinians, and that they kill random non-combatants when even some of them don't submit to it.

I just blocked and reported this (German) guy who argued the same way:

"Palestinians are starting war after war since 80 years and are constantly loosing the wars they started. Maybe, since they 'keep running against a wall' since 80 years, they should just accept what Israel 'offers' them. Also, it's their own fault if they're genocided, since they won't release the hostages."

This is an interesting project.

I think I would switch to a simple laser pointer with perhaps a pinhole in front of it to narrow the beam, and I would make the eye stationary and move the laser instead.

This has the additional benefit of measuring angle, which makes it equivalent to an autocollimator - but it's actually better because it becomes more precise the further you place the eye from the emitter.

He says it has a 3 micron pixel size, and if we just assume that's the resolution, then putting the sensor 2 meters from the emitter will give you 1/3 of 1 arc-second graduation. Putting it 4 meters away will give 1/6th of an arc-second. Putting it behind a rifle scope or telescope would result in an insane amount of angular precision, more than you can ever hope to actually make a part to.

It strikes me that you can make very high quality surfaces using only a low fidelity CNC router and a high precision flatness measuring technique.

What you do first is modify the CNC router so that it is able to spring on the Z axis, so that Z position in fact corresponds to downforce.

Then you need to derive a surface height map, and put that into an algorithm which can output a polishing tool path. The correct amount of downforce and time for removing a specific number of microns must be determined, for the tool, grit, and material.

But with that information known, you can put the map of high spots into a tool path plotting algorithm and it should give you a tool path that is believed will knock down the high spots.

Assuming the algorithm does actually remove the high spots and doesn't just make the problem worse, you can zero in on the goal by switching to more and more gentle polishing tools.

When you're down to nanometer scale diamond grit on a fuzzy pad making a mirror finish, you've basically gone as far as you can go.

You probably need to build a small random-orbital tool for the router because simple rotation does not do the right thing.

The real limitation on laser angle measurement is dynamic range. If you put a 10x scope in front of a camera with a 5mm wide optical receiver, that's the equivalent of now having an 0.5mm wide optical receiver. But you only need 1 meter of distance for better than 1/10th of 1 arc-second graduations, which is very good.

Arc-seconds are small, about 5 microns per meter. If you had a mile long wrench and you pushed the far end of it by about 3/8ths of an inch, that will rotate the bolt 1 arc-second.

To aid in alignment, there can be a cover over the aperture with a hole the size and shape of the aperture itself, so that if the laser is missing the target, it is obvious whether it's missing left, right, high, or low.

Also 1/2 mm is a really small aperture, so you would think the laser also needs to be a 1/2 mm beam, but that's not how lenses work. The lens takes every ray of light with the same *angle* and directs it to the same point on the receiver, so the laser only needs to emit *parallel* light rays, it doesn't need to emit a point. Industrial lasers with adjustable focus are like 5$ online.

Putting a cover over the lens will still work because the lens tells the camera sensor exactly what *angle* the light comes from even if it's only catching 10% of it. In addition, it can help keep stray light out of the camera, and avoid the laser light from washing it out.

Minor errors in focus are a blessing in disguise because they spread the light over more pixels which gives you more confidence when you solve for the where is the center of the light.

In order to establish that a surface is flat, you need 2 optical receivers at a right angle from each other. In theory you could setup one and then move it, but it's not worth it to not be able to come back to your measurements because you dislocated the receiver.

To realistically set something up for measurement, the receivers need to be able to be adjusted up and down, but this does not require precision in any way, and it's just meant to bring them close enough that the laser hits the aperture, then they can be locked in place.

The measurement process would begin by leveling up the workpiece by eye, then verifying that the X receiver can pick up the laser at the 4 corners of the work - or at least 3 of them (in case of a very high corner). Then, without moving the part, you adjust the Y receiver until it can pick up the 4, or at least 3 corners that the X can pick up. Then you just start working over the part, collecting points and angular deviation which can be resolved into a height map.

Putting a "normal" camera above the workspace can help because then the computer can know where on the work you measured when you got a specific measurement, no need to manually record the results...

We Are Not A Colony of the Northern Empire — ELN


Trump exercises as an emperor and threatens tariffs, to further submit to the peripheral countries of the empire and that as his vassals, work for the prosperity of the metropolis; New forms of hegemony, with which they seek to replace the failed neoliberal capitalism. Popular sovereignty ceased to exist in the so -called democracies of the capitalist west, by ceasing to exist the free formation of opinion and popular will, which are prefabricated by media machinery, owned by financial capital agencies.

The popular political will to determine the lines of development of the economy and society, replace it with the interests imposed from the force of economic power. So what is the use of the people win elections and reach the government? Neoliberal globalization as an international hegemonic regime subordinated to the nation-states, through the World Bank (BM) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), imposing them to domain policies of the United States, which keeps them in chronic deficit of balance and commercial balance, until they convert them into unfeasible countries, due to the crushing weight of the external debt; forcing them to deliver to foreign investors their natural assets and public infrastructure; exacerbating social inequality and strengthening oligarchies as agents of the Empire, replacing democratic control and representation.

So where did national sovereignty go? When the neoliberal order is exhausted, capitalism enters a crisis of domination, so they try to consolidate an empire in which the vassals have to consume their products and where the accumulation of capital makes it with the war. This is why Trump sends from the metropolis, so that the other countries meet him as colonies.

National self -determination is a democratic claim, dignity and national sovereignty are rights that will be conquered with the mobilization and struggle of the majority of society, facing the retrograde vision of the plutocracy of the empire, which seeks to return us to the colonial state, therefore, it is imperative to fight for the second and definitive independence.

Maximizing the Value of Tire Pyrolysis: TPO and rCB

The growing global concern over tire waste has prompted the development of innovative methods to recycle and repurpose used tires. Tire pyrolysis, a thermochemical decomposition process, offers an effective solution by transforming waste tires into valuable by-products, such as tire pyrolysis oil (TPO), recovered carbon black (rCB), and other secondary materials. These by-products hold immense value, both in terms of their economic potential and their environmental benefits. This article explores the multiple values created by tire pyrolysis, focusing on TPO and rCB.

Tire Pyrolysis: The Process Overview


Pyrolysis is a high-temperature process that decomposes organic materials in the absence of oxygen. In the case of tires, the process involves heating shredded tire waste in a reactor, typically within a tire pyrolysis plant, at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 700°C. This leads to the breaking of chemical bonds, resulting in the production of several by-products, including TPO, rCB, and gas. These outputs offer a sustainable solution for both waste management and resource recovery.

Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO)


Tire pyrolysis oil is one of the key by-products of the tire pyrolysis process. TPO is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that can be refined and processed into a variety of valuable fuels and chemicals. As an alternative to crude oil, TPO can be used as a fuel for industrial boilers, furnaces, and power plants, offering a more sustainable energy source compared to traditional fossil fuels.

The high calorific value of TPO makes it a valuable energy resource, especially in industries requiring large amounts of heat or electricity. By replacing conventional fuel sources like coal and natural gas, TPO can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production. Furthermore, TPO can be further processed to produce synthetic fuels, lubricants, or even used as a feedstock for petrochemical industries. This versatile by-product adds considerable value to the tire pyrolysis process, contributing to the circular economy by reducing the reliance on non-renewable resources.

Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)


Recovered carbon black is another valuable by-product of tire pyrolysis. Carbon black, traditionally used as a reinforcing agent in the production of rubber, is an essential component in tire manufacturing. During pyrolysis, carbon black is extracted from the tire material and is known as rCB when it is recovered in its usable form.

rCB has numerous applications, especially in the production of new tires, rubber products, and plastics. It is a cost-effective alternative to virgin carbon black, which is typically produced through the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. The use of rCB not only provides economic savings but also helps reduce the environmental impact associated with the production of carbon black. Moreover, rCB can be utilized in various other industries, including coatings, inks, and paints, further broadening its market appeal.

The use of rCB helps close the loop on tire waste, transforming what was once considered a waste product into a valuable material. By using rCB in new products, manufacturers can reduce their dependence on virgin materials, making the entire process more sustainable and resource-efficient.

Environmental and Economic Benefits of Tire Pyrolysis


Tire pyrolysis, through the recovery of TPO and rCB, provides substantial environmental benefits. The disposal of used tires, which often ends up in landfills or illegal dumpsites, is a major environmental challenge. Tire pyrolysis diverts this waste from landfills, reducing the environmental hazards associated with tire accumulation. The pyrolysis plant process also prevents harmful emissions from burning tires, as the controlled environment of pyrolysis minimizes the release of toxic gases.

In addition, by converting tires into useful products like TPO and rCB, pyrolysis reduces the reliance on virgin resources and mitigates the carbon emissions associated with traditional extraction and manufacturing processes. This contributes to a lower carbon footprint, aligning with global sustainability goals and efforts to reduce environmental pollution.

On the economic front, the production of TPO and rCB creates new market opportunities. TPO, as an alternative fuel, offers a cost-effective solution for energy production, especially in industries with high energy demands. rCB, on the other hand, provides a valuable raw material for industries like rubber and plastics, reducing production costs and offering a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black. The market for both TPO and rCB is growing, as businesses increasingly seek eco-friendly and economically viable solutions for waste management and resource utilization.

Advancements in Pyrolysis Technology


Advancements in pyrolysis technology have significantly improved the efficiency and scalability of tire pyrolysis plants. Enhanced reactor designs, better control of temperature and pressure conditions, and improved feedstock pretreatment processes have led to higher yields of TPO and rCB. Moreover, innovations in catalytic pyrolysis and gas purification are helping to improve the quality of the by-products, making them more suitable for a wider range of applications.

The integration of automation and digital monitoring systems in modern pyrolysis plants also ensures optimal operational efficiency. Real-time monitoring of key parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and reaction rates, allows for better control of the process, reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste.

Moving Towards a Circular Economy


Tire pyrolysis plays a pivotal role in moving toward a circular economy. By turning waste tires into valuable products like TPO and rCB, the process contributes to resource recovery and waste reduction. The pyrolysis process helps create a closed-loop system, where the waste from one process becomes the feedstock for another, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact.

Furthermore, the market for pyrolysis by-products is expected to expand as industries embrace more sustainable practices. The continued development of pyrolysis technology and its integration into various sectors will further enhance the role of tire pyrolysis in reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting the transition to a sustainable future.

In Summary


Tire pyrolysis is a transformative process that turns waste tires into valuable resources, including TPO and rCB. These by-products provide both environmental and economic value, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fuel and raw material sources. As pyrolysis technology continues to evolve, its role in the circular economy will only grow, making it an essential solution for addressing tire waste and creating a more sustainable world.
