Completing the great Roomba 531 ("R2") shakedown today, after installing new brushes and a battery, poor R2 would run for a few minutes and then complain about needing the brush cages emptied of debris.But there was no debris.The real problem? Dirt caked inside the gearbox on the sweeper deck. Pulled it apart, cleaned it up, lubricated the axles and gears ... good as new!(and runs for the full battery again!) -

So happy to have been able to sit in as an audience member in a http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24148. thesis defense at Laurentian University today. I really enjoyed the talk and the research. I learned a lot about measuring background radiation in proprietary devices (where you are not allowed to know the manufacturing process). This gives me a lot to think about for … -

It is nice to sit and listen to an episode of “Quirks and Quarks”. This marvelous science program on CBC Radio was first brought to my attention by colleagues at McGill and UBC when I was a graduate student. I have been a fairly regular listener ever since. I especially like how cross-cutting (eclectic) are the topics that come together to make a single episode. In th… -

Installed a new rechargeable battery and brushes in our oldest Roomba, a 531 model nicknamed “R2”. I have always enjoyed the modularity of many of these iRobot designs, which encourages replacements and even upgrades.Once it’s charged, I am excited to see how well the little fellow behaves. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/87f2c1f7afb26f00c498a2145c48995fea1f184ab2fa9d660f1a8959e7a32751/view -

I have been very interested in this paper lately, as it bears on the question of how many neutrons we would see in HALO when supernova neutrinos strike the experiment https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.11295I am keen on understanding the prediction uncertainty in lieu of the measured uncertainty of the neutrino-lead cross section. -
