xentrachmm, if you were squirting binder into a powder bed at 1200 dpi, you could get an insert printed point-up to have a 20-micron-wide edge00:11
xentracI think that's probably sharp enough to cut metal00:11
xentracthe surface finish might not be good enough though00:11
xentracit might be after you densify it in a furnace for a while though00:12

xentracfenn: it occurred to me after my client went offline that if you're inkjet-printing binder into a powder bed, if the cutting point is vertical (i.e. perpendicular to the surface of the bed), 1200 dpi lets you make a cutting point that's 20 microns sharp11:07
xentrac20 microns would be terrible for scissors or shaving but I wonder if it might be adequate for lathe bits.  probably not, eh?11:08

doclwouldn't it be easier to use a grinder to polish up the lathe bits once you have the general form?11:34
xentracpeople do do that11:35
xentracapparently there are a couple of difficulties11:35
xentracone is that things like chip-breakers are concave enough that they can be tricky11:35
xentracanother is that grinding wheels that can grind corundum are expensive.  carbide not so much11:36
docllasers is my next suggestion. but concave might defeat that too.11:36
FourFireI'm thinking of getting noise reduction earplugs with passthrough: that is they uniformly make all sounds quieter, has anyone here experimented with noise reduction; optimal reduction in decibels?11:39
FourFireI can get from 10 dB to 26 dB reduction according to this site, I'm thinking 20dB might be suitable, 12.5% sound volume and I can always take them out when I need to listen, but otherwise my hearing should be decently protected11:40
FourFiredoes anyone have input (i really don't know about this sort of thing)11:40
xentracwhere does the 12.5% come from?11:41
xentracmusicians do worry a bit about flat frequency response from their earplugs but I don't know what they recommend11:42
xentracunfortunately all earplugs have some frequencies they barely attenuate11:42
doclxentrac: is it difficult to diamond-coat things? the chart we were looking at actually lists cvd as a moderate range of vacuum11:43
FourFiredB scale is logrithmic, at +5 dB = doubling of energy intensity so -20dB should be = 1/8 of initial energy11:43
xentracFourFire: oh, no, your logarithmic base is wrong11:44
FourFirexentrac, someone who I believe not to be a fool recommends these.11:44
FourFirexentrac, oh right :/11:44
FourFireI'll be back, have to pick up my bed11:44
xentrac20dB will keep your sound levels safe until the outside level is about 100dB, which is what you get when you're running a jackhammer11:46
doclCVD production of diamonds has received a great deal of attention in the materials sciences because it allows many new applications of diamonds that had previously been considered too difficult to make economical. CVD diamond growth typically occurs under low pressure (1–27 kPa; 0.145–3.926 psi; 7.5-203 Torr) and involves feeding varying amounts of gases into a chamber, energizing them and providin11:46

xentracif it were that simple then diamond-coated toolbits would have been common in the 1920s13:27
xentracI mean people did start making artificial diamonds not too far after that, so it wasn't that they didn't realize it was possible, and of course diamond abrasives had long been of immense industrial importance13:28
xentracbut my memory is that CVD diamond coatings didn't become common until fairly recently, like 20 years ago13:29

jrayhawk_re: prebiotics: a lot of that depends on particular contexts, but broadly speaking hydrogen-yielding and methane-yielding (e.g. most GOS and most polyol products) reactions tend to be more pathological, where butyrate-yielding (resistant starch, polysaccharide) reactions tend to be more beneficial.13:55

doclhttp://www.gia.edu/news-research-CVD-grown-part114:23
doclThe CVD process is quite different from natural diamond formation. It produces diamond from a heated mixture of a hydrocarbon gas (typically methane) and hydrogen in a vacuum chamber at very low pressures. Under normal circumstances, heating this mixture at such low pressures would produce graphite or some other non-diamond form of carbon. But in a CVD growth chamber, some of the hydrogen is converted14:23
doclto atomic hydrogen, which promotes diamond formation since diamond is more stable in this environment. The conversion of molecular hydrogen to atomic hydrogen is accomplished through methods such as the application of microwave energy, an electric discharge, or hot filaments.14:23
doclWhen atomic hydrogen is present in the gas phase, two chemical processes occur:14:24
docl(1) Graphite and other non-diamond carbon react with the atomic hydrogen and evaporate in a newly formed gas phase.14:24
docl(2) Atomic hydrogen reacts with the original hydrocarbon gas (methane) to form a highly reactive carbon-hydrogen species. When this species decomposes, it gives up its hydrogen to form pure carbon: diamond.14:24

doclxentrac: the way they describe it in those papers it sounds really easy. there is some temperature control and/or rf stuff, but seems to be mostly a matter of a low pressure CH4/H2 atmosphere. the hydrogen tends to break down the non-diamond stuff.15:56

doclOh, here we go. The temperature needed for diamond CVD is in the 1000-1400K range.16:38
doclWhile each method differs in detail, they all share features in common. For example, growth of diamond (rather than deposition of other, less well-defined forms of carbon) normally requires that the substrate be maintained at a temperature in the range lOOO-14OOK, and that the precursor gas be diluted in an excess of hydrogen (typical CH, mixing ratio -1-2 ~01%).16:38
xentracyou do make it sound pretty simple!16:41
xentracI think "atomic hydrogen" is H, not H₂16:42
xentracH₂ isn't going to react with methane or graphite much if at all, even at 1400K16:42
xentracbut H seems pretty likely to16:43
doclthe bristol doc showed h2 in the diagram for some reason. maybe it gets split by the heat or something?16:43

kanzurehuh.... $25 billion is more than i expected. this will be harder to convince bill gates or zuckerberg to buy.16:44
xentracI don't think atomic hydrogen is going to last very long at anything less than a high vacuum16:45
xentracso maybe you feed in H₂ and your hot filament or microwave-pumped plasma or whatever breaks it up into H (and H+ and H- probably)16:46
xentracit would be nice to look at a paper containing a methods section reporting one a CVD experiment16:47
kanzure"The push toward open access is not only growing in sheer numbers of journals but also in an increasingly confrontational strategy that academics leverage against large publishers. “At the moment, the Netherlands, the whole country, has said to Elsevier that we want all of our researchers to be able to publish open access in your journals at the same rates we would pay for a subscription last year and if you can’t do that we’re ...16:47

Diablo-D3patents in one country are now valid in other countries due to global trade agreements16:52
xentracno, that is not true16:52
kanzurei think that academic publishers are going to start requiring journal editors (and other members) to sign non-compete agreements (which thankfully are not valid in some jurisdictions).16:53
xentracin general16:53
xentracmaybe the EPO is an exception16:53
Diablo-D3xentrac: US and EU seem to have one16:53
kanzurethe attrition method of academic journals switching to open access seems to be the popular (and only) trend16:53
xentracDiablo-D3: no, they do nt16:53
xentracnot16:53
kanzureit requires the editors to all agree at the same time to close up shop and open up another journal instead16:53
xentracalso there is no world patent office16:53
kanzurei guess this will only work when there's an actual group of editors or whatever, running the journal16:54
kanzurein the case of nature.com i think it's much more corporate16:54
Diablo-D3nature.com doesn't seem to cock up stuff, though16:54
kanzurethat's not what this is about16:54

Diablo-D3Well, from what I understand of the story, it isn't totally about closed access16:55
xentrachowever, the Netherlands is bound by the copyright treaties it has signed, which include the Berne Convention, Diablo-D316:55
Diablo-D3its about Elsevier publishing papers that have no scientific validity, and dismissing anyone questioning the validity of those papers16:55
xentracand Elsevier certainly could sue them16:56
Diablo-D3ergo, without open access, there is no way to hold Elsevier accountable16:56
xentracalso that is nonsense16:56
xentracthere is no issue of "Elsevier publishing papers that have no scientific validity"16:56
Diablo-D3I dunno, thats the way I've seen it played out in the press.16:56
xentracnor is open access necessary to "hold Elsevier accountable"16:56
* Diablo-D3 shrugs16:57
Diablo-D3Like I said, thats how the press has handled it16:57
xentracthat at last is a statement that might at least be partly true16:57
xentracwhile I haven't seen any articles that could be described as anything remotely like the way you are describing the situation, it's entirely possible that some uninformed journalist somewhere has published such a confused article16:58
Diablo-D3well, more than one journalist have, and they've hit the top of HN before.16:59
Diablo-D3*has16:59
kanzure"The Center for Open Science, which provides seed funds to startups in the academic scientific research space, is led by Nosek and focuses on aligning scientific values to scientific practices"16:59
xentracI have not seen any such articles on HN, although that does not mean that no such thing has happened16:59
kanzureyes the international copyright treaties are insidious17:00
kanzureyes, the issue is not about elsevier publishing invalid stuff. afaik elsevier does retractions in a timely manner, and seems to get rid of bad journals over time. i think.17:00
kanzure"how the press handles stuff" is completely meaningless; the press is absurd and often doesn't report on reality.17:01
Diablo-D3since I don't publish papers nor subscribe to any journal, then the press is the only way I get to know about this stuff17:01
xentraceven if they didn't, publishing sloppy research is usually not the kind of thing academics or national governments organize to take action over17:02
xentracthere are any number of journals of astrology, numerology, reiki, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., and they generally remain unmolested17:03
Diablo-D3but who publishes them?17:03
xentracyou can google if you like. I don't know17:03
xentracI would know if national governments were going around issuing ultimatums to their publishers though17:04
xentracanyway http://www.chm.bristol.ac.uk/pt/diamond/pdf/end.pdf is a lot more interesting than typing as fast as I can to correct whatever nonsense pops into your head at the moment, Diablo-D317:04
xentracas I recall you still haven't figured out the lifetime expectancy of plaster-of-Paris refractories17:05
Diablo-D3its not that I havent figured it out, its that it wasn't interesting to me17:06

xentracyou were the one that brought it up!17:06
Diablo-D3no, I was basically passing through a question by someone else.17:06
Diablo-D3and it was more of a yes or no question than anything17:07
kanzurexentrac: it's too bad that academic journal reputation is so closely tied to career metrics.17:10
xentracdocl: an interesting thing about this paper is that it mentions that CVD diamond substrates are fairly limited17:10
xentrackanzure: yeah, it would be better if we had a better system for that17:10
kanzureso one idea i have is to make a small web tool to help academic journal contributors anonymously consent to moving the journal to an open access model17:11
-!- |node [uid125132@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-fqtlhdsppnxhyiis] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]17:11
kanzureand then other insiders can see how many people have agreed out of the toal17:11
xentracgood idea17:11
kanzurethis way they can have a safe way to express their opinion or desire17:11
kanzureand then when there's critical mass (whatever they judge that to be) they can flip the switch and go public, or receive volunteer help to transition the journal etc17:11
kanzurei think that the publishers are, in fact, providing some services to these journals and editor groups or peer review groups. but the services are relatively minor. still, they have to be fulfilled somehow.17:12
-!- |node [uid125132@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-wwrushxpmpqbuakj] has joined ##hplusroadmap17:13
xentracdocl: can't do aluminum or soda-lime or borosilicate glass (they melt), can't do iron or cobalt (too reactive with the diamond, same reason you don't cut steel with diamond), so you're almost stuck with substrates like silicon, molybdenum, tungsten, and their carbides17:13
kanzureheh i guess the site could dump the data in the hands of open-access publishers or something, e.g. sell the data and let open access publishers compete for the business of the journal that is thinking about switching17:13
xentrackanzure: the publishers are mostly rent-seeking.  it's the same thing as some guy whose grandfather built his house on a particular street corner which has now become a bustling urban center17:14
xentracthe guy can charge Starbucks an arm and a leg to set up shop there because he has a legal title to the place17:14
xentrac(an arm and a leg per month: Mayhem Coffee)17:15
kanzurehmm nevermind, i don't think that journal editors are missing out on a way to talk with each other about going open-access or switching publishers17:15
xentracno, not really :)17:15
kanzurethey are already in communication with each other17:15
xentracit's kind of their job17:15
xentracin fact they're the best in the world at it17:15
xentracthat's why they're journal editors and department chairs and shit17:16
xentracthey just don't care that much because their libraries already have subscriptions17:16
xentracunless Elsevier tightens the screws too much17:16
xentracdocl: oh, and things that are too *unreactive* with the diamond, like sapphire, gold, germanium, and surprisingly diamond17:17
doclcan't use it to grind aluminum oxide stuff?17:17
xentracoh, sorry17:18
xentracI mean you can't use aluminum oxide as the substrate17:18
xentracthe diamonds don't nucleate17:18
xentracapparently17:18
doclah, that makes more sense17:18
xentracyou know, there's probably a big market for a CVD diamond-coating machine to deposite a diamond coating on whatever bit you've just custom ground out of titanium carbide17:19
xentracI mean maybe not that huge because it is only helpful for when you're cutting nonferrous materials17:20
xentracbut there are shops that cut nonferrous metals a lot17:20
doclwell, if you can cut aluminum oxide into custom shapes, you can use that on the ferrous stuff.17:22
xentracyeah, I don't know why people use titanium carbide instead of aluminum oxide for cutting tools sometimes17:23
xentracwell, almost all the time actually17:23
doclI wonder though, doesn't the ferrous caveat apply only above certain temperatures? for our purposes, might be enough to do it in a cold bath or something. diamond is a super thermally conductive substance.17:24
xentracI suspect it's a matter of toughness17:24
xentracyes, but cutting metal with a toolbit actually involves melting it at the fracture propagation point17:25
xentracI don't know if that's inevitable17:25
xentracor just makes things work a lot better17:25
xentracI mean I think you can file or hacksaw metal at arbitrarily slow speeds and I'm not sure that the process continues to involve melting17:26
xentracbut machinists check the iridescence color of the oxide layer on the chips to see if they are getting hot enough for optimal cutting speed and tool life17:26
xentracI guess I should emphasize that my experience cutting metal with machine tools is roughly two weekend classes at the Crucible17:28
xentracso I am very open to correction if I am misinterpreting the machining videos I watch on YouTube17:28
xentracheh, http://www.chm.bristol.ac.uk/pt/diamond/pdf/end.pdf also suggests that diamond-cathode vacuum tubes could not only replace LCDs but also "form the basis of an ultra-fast switch"17:29
xentracI guess because, absent the need to heat the cathode, you could fit the entire vacuum tube into a few cubic microns17:30
xentracI hadn't realized this CVD survey paper was from 1995 though!17:35
Diablo-D3xentrac: so you're looking at display replacements?17:37
xentracI'm always interested in display replacements, but no17:37
Diablo-D3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-conduction_electron-emitter_display17:38
Diablo-D3Canon was working on that, then they got sued by one of those IP/patent trolls out of Texas, and they ended up deciding to not continue the project because the lawyer shit wasted too much time and money17:38
Diablo-D3they're backing OLEDs now I think17:39
docl1995? wow, I didn't realise that. I wonder how the futuristic speculations it contains look in retrospect...17:43
xentracyeah, I had no idea!17:52
xentracI guess they didn't pan out mostly17:52

kanzurei've seen this, but haven't read it. i have read other things by venkat and generally he says agreeable things.17:58
