With the inherent biases present in any LLM training model, the issue of hallucinations that you've brought up, alongside the cost of running an LLM at scale being prohibitive to anyone besides private-state partnerships, do you think that will allay conspiracists' valid concerns about the centralization of information access, a la the reduction in quality google search results over the past decade and a half?
People are free to draw their own conclusions from it. Do you have anything material to contribute, or will you just be putting more smarmy words in my mouth from here on out?
Back when the Signal org used to be called Open Whisper Systems it received grants and auditing from the Open Technology Fund which, at the time, was still a part of Radio Free Asia.

Alas, Dr. Mullen's impact factor has waned ever since that Sus halkias obesity germline escaped his research facility, necessitating the pivot to entomology. My electrons are in their Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals.
The one thing I've had issues with has been sending files to other devices over Bluetooth, but receiving hasn't been a problem. Has anyone else had this issue & been able to fix it?
Transcribing a r/chromatography post troubleshooting a Waters 2695 primary piston not homing on startup
I've been working with a shared Waters 2695 with a 2996 DAD for the past year, and another user pumped 0.2M phosphate buffered mobile phase through the instrument (with their column) about 6 months ago. This change in mobile phase originally manifested as over-pressure issues, but copious flushing with warm water and isopropanol—and backflushing my column—eventually solved those issues & the instrument has run without fault for the past 4 months.
However, I am now getting a "Plunger Homing Fault (0)" error popping up twice during the instrument's self-initialization. Once before carousel initialization (which can be dismissed) & permanently afterwards. Unfortunately the initialization is required for any direct control of the instrument. This particular error message is not described in the 2695 Separations Module manual, however the Waters support website describes this error appearing after using buffered mobile phases.
Despite the Waters support article, I'm not inclined to believe residual buffers suddenly precipitated out of thoroughly flushed fluidics, 6 months after the buffer was run through the system, and after 4 months of flawless operation without any of the previously observed pressure issues. My first fixes for this error were loosening the actuator vent during initialization, and replacing the inline filter element. Neither of these steps solved the error popup.
Other culprits discussed on other chromatography forums seem to point to a faulty F1 fuse on the solvent management system board. I tested the existing one with a multimeter and got very inconsistent resistance readings, but replacing the fuse did not solve the error during initialization.
I checked my seal wash line's prime and it appears to not have any bubbles trapped in it. Presumably it's been washing the back sides of the actuators' plungers, however being locked out from direct control, I can no longer re-prime the seal wash line.
Some other culprit parts that I've found discussed online are:
- opening either the V2 or V3 valves manually
- Cleaning the primary—aka "(0)"—actuator, which would require laborously removing & disassembling that unit.
- Inspecting the check valve on the primary piston. My understanding is this is a very dust-sensitive part due to the sapphire check ball's tight tolerances for sealing shut.
Has anyone encountered this error before? What solution worked for you? I'm very much hoping I won't need to bring in a technician to rebuild the primary actuator but thinking it might come to this.
> u/Micusil911: It has happened to me, usually because of the salts coming out of solution as you say after a power outage or something the only real solution is: Change the check valve as you mentioned
But if in a hurry a workaround is to open the dry purge valve until the initialization is complete, after that wash your system through Hope it helps
>> Thanks for the suggestions! I opened the dry purge valve about 5 full turns & initialized the HPLC, but it still threw the error twice: once before the carousels were initialized & once after.
I'm glad you think it's the check valve since that is a much easier replacement versus disconnecting & pulling out the torpedo tubes. Did you attempt to clean the check valve by sonicating in water or methanol? Or did you simply replace the part with a new OEM check valve?
>>> u/Micusil911: I use a mixture water methanol 3:1 and sonicate until the sapphire ball rattles when shaken, otherwise replace it
>>>> u/liquidswords10304: 0 indicates problem with primary pump head. (I forget if right or left side is primary) Take it apart and clean piston/plunger, it can’t find home. Squirt di water in there on plunger and seals, it might be caked with buffer. Also check for pinched waste tubing to waste bucket. I think you can open V2 and V3 valves manually on alliance front panel.
>>>>> Looks like the right side (when facing the front of the instrument) pump is the primary, left is accumulator.
I looked through the separations module operator's guide for what the commands to open V1 to V4 are, but for the life of me I can't find it! Pressing the "Menu/Status" button shows the open/closed status of these valves, but I'm unable to use the arrow keys to select any of these icons, unlike directly changing gradient, flow rate, etc. The "direct function" tab accessible from the "Menu/Status" page never mentions valve control either.
Do you know what button presses must be navigated to be able to manually open the valves? Thanks for the help!
>>>> u/liquidswords10304: Good advice! Never throw out a CV without sonicacting first to see if ruby ball rattles. If it rattles, it will work.
>>>> u/Level9TraumaCenter: I wonder if phosphoric acid would work as a last-ditch attempt to save a valve, when no replacement is handy.
I'm still in a pretty dark place 10 months after getting dumped by someone I was really fond of, who was tweeting stuff about me like "equinox [an expensive gym] is a hella good deal, maybe there I'll find a man who actually has an income" & "my therapist called the guy I'm seeing a beta male" for the entire time we were together. A few days after the breakup she tweeted "these dudes never buy me flowers and act sooo surprised when I break up with them".
She's the type who posted ass on instagram and studied in LA, identifies as a feminist and a socialist; I recognize this is an individual behaving in a stereotypical way instead of it being a hard rule for all women. I do also feel sympathetic for her dissociative identity disorder (think I saw a different ego state when she told me she liked me after crying during sex—apparently b/c she "didn't deserve such a nice guy" but tweeted I was a beta 6 hours earlier) and that doesn't excuse these actions/sense of entitlement.
Naturally, how I was informed that we were no longer together was that "you're wonderful it's not you, I'm not feeling the way I want to feel, we're just too similar" and that I'd "be remembered fondly"... I make almost twice her psychology PhD tuition & gifted my dead cat's toys for her adopted kitten. So yeah, an individual occurrence but it really reinforced some stereotypes I'm trying to dispel. Of course I recognize if I was more financially ostentatious & she stuck around longer, issues would have manifested somehow else.
Anyways sorry for whingeing, I'm still self-flagellating over consciously overlooking red flags like being told "lying comes naturally to us pisces" twice, "I'm getting my PhD to charge my clients more", and "I just want to be rich to feed my family the healthiest foods".
dagaypussyeatah over here rocking 0.50 caliber uretheras and desert eagles!
Building on this, does anyone use tablets to keep a digital laboratory notebook? I'm picturing keeping one in a capacitive, clear envelope that you could sterilize by spraying with 70% ethanol if necessary, yet still permit you to write with a stylus while wearing dirty gloves
Does an instance block apply to your account or just when using Connect? Could I switch to Jerboa after & still have that instance blocked?
I'm more than set on that front: your dad took me on a romantic picnic this evening but forgot a blanket and now my whole back has a rash ;)
I don't want those ghouls here. Oughta walk their talk, volunteer, and soak up some thermobarics if they really want to help
I also had to look it up, but according to urban dictionary it's "when 2 well known celebrities have sex". It sounds like my ex posted some aquatic themed erotica back in the early days of twitter and the guys were using the term very loosely (she has 580 followers...) to flatter her
She messaged me first on Hinge, the mask was off pretty quick but I overlooked/excused the red flags. Astrology and Instagram wellness type that went to college in Los Angeles, by date 5 she had told me "lying comes naturally to us pisces" twice, and that she didn't have a positive relationship with psychology growing up until starting her psych PhD due to her having dissociative identity disorder & dad also being a therapist. However the motivation for the PhD was to charge therapy clients more money.
She ended things after a few months saying "I'm not feeling the way I want to feel", "our energies are too similar", and that she'd "fondly remember me" during the breakup phone call. Turns out she was insulting me on twitter the whole time about my perceived income, said her therapist called me a beta male, and that "these dudes never buy me flowers and act sooooo surprised when I break up with them".
Also used to have blowjobs in her twitter handle & dudes were tweeting at her saying thank you for the starbang, but that was more weird/trashy than shitty or abusive.
Wishing you two the best of luck getting this com off the ground again; I probably know the least about lemmy out of those subbed here. Was very stoked to find a pre-existing community even if it's a husk compared to r/trueanon
