[🐯] automatic off-switch

✿ pairing: beomgyu x reader / idol!txt / employee!you / minor cursing (none with ill-intention!) / fluff, silly 🌸 / 792 words ✿ beomgyu’s known to be someone who constantly runs his mouth but the boys discovered you’re an automatic off switch for him... (the boys never knew this day would come) ✿ honestly, idk where this came from!!! i kinda saw a scene from crash course in romance and it’s just a little spinoff from there! (i think it’s episode 16 towards the end and you cannot convince me that is not beomgyu-coded) [masterlist 🌸] / @kflixnet​ 🔦

beomgyu knows that sometimes–lies, all the time. yeonjun’s said it about a million times now–that he tends to run his mouth further than his mind can think about it. it’s not that he wasn’t sensitive to the words he was saying; he was. it’s just that he wants to take the weight of something that may appear heavy and make it... lighter, than it was before... even if it means saying things that may borderline to rubbing salt into the wound.

it wasn’t a good day, or it doesn’t seem to be a good day when the boys could hear telltales of your supervisor hounding your entire team from where they were in. keeping their volume down, peeking past the blinds, beomgyu spots you lowering your head as the reprimanding continues.

perhaps a minute or two goes by, but in reality it had been fifteen minutes before beomgyu excuses himself out of the dance practice room. “five bucks he’ll make things worse,” yeonjun whispers, nudging soobin by the arm who takes the deal with a scoff, bumping elbows as a sign of you’re on.

//

in the quiet of the hallway where you’re standing by one of the cooler machines, getting a cup of water, you’re left with your thoughts. not the best thoughts, but not the worst, either. it’s... just so-so, really. the flop with what had happened wasn’t your fault but considering you’re under the same department, oftentimes the rebuking happens as a whole for... reminder purposes.

as the machine clicks and you’re settled with a cup filled with water, you take a sip only to have your shoulders jumping at the voice that reverberates the walls, gently shaking your heart in the process. looking up, you’re met with beomgyu’s smile from about twenty steps away, his bright eyes sparkling at you despite going through hours of training.

"staying hydrated, i see.” he breaks the quietness with his completely obvious remark, that’s used as a way to ease himself next to you with a small smile. you lift the cup at his direction with a mustered up smile to your best ability, but even you know you’re not fooling anyone when beomgyu carefully reaches down to put his hand in yours, mindful to remain hidden despite being out in the open yet shielded in your own bubble together with how quiet this hallway usually is.

“i kinda saw what happened,” beomgyu murmurs, his thumb brushing over the back of your hand, “you okay?”

you nod with a soft sigh, “yeah, i’m okay. it was nothing big, really.” your eyes gaze from your half-sipped glass of water, up to beomgyu’s shifting eyes that you know have more than meets them.

“then...” he trails off.

"then...?” you echo.

“just how on earth did something like that–”beomgyu notices how you’re gripping onto his hand, narrowed eyes as a warning“–okay, i’ll shut up.”

you still don’t let up on the façade, knowing that he’s got a bit more–“...but just, y’know, things like that don’t just happen out of nowhere–”beomgyu yelps a little at how tight you’re squeezing his hand with your jaw clenching that he’s quick to rephrase his words“–i’ll pull my lip right over my head so hard i can’t ever speak again.”

with the way he switches up so fast, it makes you snort, making use of your interlocked hands so you can nudge his thigh. he chuckles along with you and sways your hands lightly, knowing the gesture would soothe your erratic heart... and it does. slowly. gently. delicate and as soft as the look beomgyu gives you.

“better?”

“...would be much better if i had ice cream,”

“aren’t you just a sneaky little–”beomgyu’s words rephrase quicker than he can stop himself when you raise a brow at him, threatening to squeeze his hand that”–of course the ice cream is crucial. how could i possibly leave that out?”

you shake his hand off and lightly shove at his chest, reeling out a couple of laughters before beomgyu points with his head, “gonna let me walk you back?”

“depends,”

beomgyu tilts his head with a slightly raised brow.

“are you gonna keep running your mouth?”

“what?” he huffs, clearly trying to hold back he’s being a bit sulky, “you actually want me to shut up?”

the quiet pause that fills between the two of you is what makes beomgyu squint his eyes at you, more so when you begin backing away from him with a grin threatening to form on your face. it only makes him furrow his brows as he moves closer towards you and soon, it’s him chasing you down the hall with hearty laughters filling the corridors on your way back.

well, mission failed successfully (?) in beomgyu’s mind.

People who are in better physical shape and geographic locations than me really need to know this.

I stopped making personal appearances after I got heat stroke and inconvenienced the volunteer medics. Physically, I'm just not reliable enough anymore. But the reason that's a factor is: I was in AZ, and the police weaponized the heat to harm us. It got up to about 115 f (46 c) that day. My phone demanded I turn it off because the battery was too hot and might explode. The "free speech zone" I was herded into was on bare asphalt with no shade, far from anyplace you could purchase water or - god forbid - visit a drinking fountain.

(In AZ, by law, if someone asks for water at your establishment, you're supposed to have a free option for them, because it's a desert and that kills people. Many places had drinking fountains and water coolers, so you didn't even have to ask, but COVID took them out, so it would be bottled water or cups to get water from the soda machine. And, yes, we were all masked - except in the med tent, because heat stroke makes it hard to breathe - and the folks showing up to see Trump speak were not, and they were indoors too.)

Later, I teamed up with some other people who'd been told to go home and stay cool, to make a pass in a car with supplies for the medics. Ha-ha, but there was noplace to stop and legally yeet the water and sports drinks at them. You had to pull over while the police screamed at you that you weren't allowed to do that and threatened you. I did it anyway (twice!) but then I accidentally locked my keys in my car at the gas station (I was impaired!) and I had to quit and go home.

Later still, after dark, somebody threw water (that is, the substance H2O, naked, not even in a plastic bottle) at a cop and they responded by firing pepperballs into the crowd, hitting at least one child.

That was the state of your "freedom to protest" before I left, and before they started making these new "legal" moves that allow them to keep punishing you for exercising your rights after the fact. This has always been how the US does things. Look up the Civil Rights and Suffragette movements to compare. (And, yes, those protests were just as violent, if not more so, than BLM, or whatever thing the media is clutching its pearls about now.) They make it as difficult as possible for you to protest in the first place, then, as soon as you are seen to protest effectively, violent or not, they come down on you like a ton of bricks.

The state is doing violence here too, but it's on such a large scale (and the perpetrators are so insulated) that it gets an automatic pass. Giving people heat stroke on purpose (this is also part of how they harm/kill asylum seekers trying to cross the border, BTW), shooting them with chemical weapons (and real bullets!), and locking them away on spurious charges (convicted felons can't vote!) is doing violence. And how are you supposed to respond? "Peacefully"? How? Why? What for? Resupplying the medics is roughly equivalent to throwing water or throwing a punch, and also to just sitting somewhere they don't want you and refusing to move, so what's the difference?

Right now, I'm a liability. I'm tryin' to get my shit together, but it's always an uphill battle to get healthcare. If you can get out there, you need to get out there. This is not something you can vote away. You can only make it so inconvenient and scary that they give back some of those rights they keep pretending you already have.

Analysis of core equipment of NPK fertilizer production line

As the core category of compound fertilizer, the efficient operation of NPK fertilizer production line cannot be separated from the support of advanced equipment. A mature NPK fertilizer production line usually includes the following key equipment, each of which directly affects the quality and production efficiency of fertilizer.

1.Batching equipment

Batching is the core link of NPK fertilizer production, and the mixing ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and other elements needs to be accurately controlled. The modern production line adopts an automatic weighing batching machine, which adjusts the amount of raw materials in real time through the PLC control system. The high-precision batching scale can be accurate to the milligram level to ensure the scientificity and stability of the formula.

2.Mixing equipment

Mixing equipment is also indispensable, and the mixing uniformity is directly related to the nutrient distribution of fertilizer particles. Powerful Mixers (such as Double Axis Mixers, etc.) can fully and evenly mix the prepared raw materials to avoid uneven nutrient distribution. The unique design of the mixing blades of these mixing equipment can achieve efficient mixing in a short time to ensure that each grain of fertilizer contains balanced nutrients.

3.Granulation equipment

Granulation equipment gives NPK fertilizer a suitable shape and also determines the hardness and slow-release performance of fertilizer granules. The Rotary Drum Granulator forms dense granules during rolling through rotational motion and steam conditioning; the Disc Granulator uses centrifugal force to achieve granule classification, and the finished product has a higher roundness. The new equipment can adjust the speed and inclination to meet different formulation requirements, and the production capacity can reach 10-30 tons/hour.

4.Drying and cooling equipment

After the fertilizer granules are made, the excess water needs to be removed by drying equipment to achieve the appropriate humidity standard. The Drum Fertilizer Dryer can quickly and effectively dry the fertilizer to prevent the fertilizer from mold and deterioration during storage. The dried granules are then cooled to the appropriate temperature by the Drum Fertilizer Cooler.

5.Screening and packing equipment

These equipment ensure the quality of the finished product. The screening equipment screens out qualified particles, removes unqualified parts, and then packs them through automated packing equipment, so that NPK fertilizers can smoothly enter the market and meet agricultural needs. Of course, before packing, coating treatment can also be performed to improve moisture resistance and control nutrient release rate.

From ingredients to packing, every device in the NPK fertilizer production line takes into account efficiency and stability. This not only improves production capacity and quality, but also reduces operation and maintenance costs.

After granulation, the organic fertilizer production line still has the following processes to be completed. 1. Drying section. The dryer adopts the method of cylinder edge transmission, flange connection, and direct heat transfer, which is suitable for drying organic fertilizer after granulation. The material to be dried enters the copying plate drying area with a special combination. Due to the tilting and rotating movement of the machine body and the copying plate, the material is constantly carried by the copying plate to be fully scattered and move longitudinally. At the same time, it is fully heat exchanged with the high-temperature furnace gas from the hot air furnace to evaporate the water and dry the material. The material and flue gas to be dried are operated in a downstream and slightly negative pressure manner. There is a secondary granulation area in the dryer, which can be used to perform secondary granulation on some ungranulated materials, which is conducive to improving the granulation rate of the system. During the drying process, it is necessary to monitor at any time and adjust the temperature of the dryer furnace head and furnace tail by adjusting the hot air furnace temperature and the exhaust fan air volume according to the process requirements to achieve the drying index of the dried material. The materials that have completed the drying operation are transported to the next section of the organic fertilizer production line by a belt conveyor.

2. Cooling section. The rotary cooler is mainly used for cooling organic fertilizer products after drying, and can directly cool the hot granular fertilizer to near room temperature. The materials entering the cooler continue to move forward under the rotation and tilting of the machine body. At the same time, the induced draft fan draws air from the tail of the cooler to the head to meet the counterflow of the materials and take away the heat of the materials. During the cooling process, the cold air also takes away some moisture. The cooled materials are easy to pack in time and quickly to prevent agglomeration during storage. The machine adopts micro-negative pressure operation, which reduces pollution and improves the working environment. It has the characteristics of reasonable structure, stable operation and strong adaptability. The cooled materials are transported to the next section of the organic fertilizer production line by a belt conveyor. 3. Screening and large particle crushing section. The screening section is mainly used to separate fine powder, finished products and large particles in the materials. First, the fine powder in the semi-finished products is separated, and then the large particles are separated. The separated large particles are crushed by the large particle crusher and then enter the return belt together with the separated fine powder, and return to the granulator for granulation. The finished product enters the next section of the organic fertilizer production line. 4. Packaging section. The finished product is lifted by the skin elevator to the silo on the packaging machine, unloaded into the metering scale body, and automatically weighed according to the set weighing weight. The weighed material enters the sewing section through the conveyor, and is sewn and packed into the finished product warehouse.

[tcfertilizermachine]

After pre-processing the raw materials, the organic fertilizer production line also needs to mix the raw materials, granulate, dry, cool, screen, and package. In these processes, what other equipment does the organic fertilizer production line need?

1. Post-processing equipment

Mixer: used to add other nutrients as needed after fermentation to improve the biological indicators and market competitiveness of organic fertilizers.

Granulation equipment: such as disc granulators, flat die extrusion granulators, drum granulators, etc., used to process powdered organic fertilizers into granules to improve the appearance and market competitiveness of products.

Dryer: used to dry wet granules, remove excess water, and meet the specified moisture content requirements.

Cooler: Cool the dried granules to prevent the granules from deteriorating due to excessive temperature during subsequent packaging or storage.

Screening and grading equipment: such as vibrating screens, graders, etc., used to screen and grade granules according to size to meet the needs of different customers.

2. Packaging and conveying equipment

Belt conveyors, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, etc.: used to transport production raw materials and finished products between various equipment to reduce labor costs.

Automatic quantitative packaging machine: used to automatically measure, package and seal finished organic fertilizers to improve production efficiency and packaging quality.

3. Other auxiliary equipment

Depending on the specific needs and scale of the organic fertilizer production line, other auxiliary equipment such as dust removal equipment, storage bins, control systems, etc. may also be required.

The specific configuration will vary depending on factors such as the degree of automation of the organic fertilizer production line, production scale, and raw material characteristics. The manufacturer will design and provide customers with organic fertilizer production line construction and equipment selection plans that meet their own conditions based on the user's material characteristics, on-site working conditions, specific production requirements, degree of automation, and investment budget.

[xiaoxiaopaya]

Organic fertilizer production line equipment is mainly used to harmlessly treat and ferment organic waste (such as livestock and poultry manure, crop straw, etc.) and then convert it into organic fertilizer. The following is a detailed introduction to organic fertilizer production line equipment: 1. Equipment types Organic fertilizer production line equipment usually includes the following categories: Raw material processing equipment: Crusher: used to crush the raw materials to a particle size suitable for fermentation. Crusher is divided into many types, such as semi-wet material crusher, cage crusher, etc. Cutter: used to cut longer raw materials into shorter segments for subsequent processing. Fermentation equipment: Fermentation turner: assists in turning the raw materials during the fermentation process, provides sufficient oxygen for the raw materials, controls the temperature, and makes the raw materials ferment more evenly and fully. There are many forms of fermentation turners, such as trough turners, crawler turners, etc. Fermentation tank: suitable for closed fermentation environment, can control the temperature, humidity and oxygen content during the fermentation process, and improve fermentation efficiency.

Crushing and screening equipment: Crusher: The fermented material may still contain large particles or lumps, which need to be further crushed. Screening machine: It is used to screen the crushed material according to the particle size to meet the needs of different products. Granulation equipment: Groove granulator, roller extrusion granulator, disc granulator, etc.: The screened material is made into granular fertilizer for easy storage, transportation and use. Drying and cooling equipment: Drum dryer: It is used to dry the granulated fertilizer and remove excess water. Cooler: After drying, the fertilizer is cooled to prevent the fertilizer from agglomerating or deteriorating. Packaging equipment: Automatic packaging machine: Automatically package the cooled fertilizer for easy sale and use. Conveying equipment: Belt conveyor, forklift feeder, etc.: It is used to transport raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products between various processes.

Brewing equipment auctions provide an excellent opportunity to purchase essential brewing equipment at competitive prices. Buying at auctions can offer substantial savings compared to purchasing new equipment, while still acquiring reliable machinery that will support your brewery’s operations. Here are some of the essential brewing equipment you can typically find at auctions:

1. Brewing Kettles

Brewing kettles are central to the brewing process, where wort (the liquid extracted from mashed grains) is boiled with hops to create the beer's flavor. At auctions, you can find various sizes of brewing kettles, from smaller units for craft breweries to large kettles for commercial-scale operations. Often made of high-quality stainless steel, these kettles can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of new ones. Auctions also offer the potential for getting high-end equipment with advanced features such as automatic temperature control, which can help optimize your brewing process.

2. Fermentation Tanks

Fermentation is a crucial stage in beer production, where yeast converts the wort into alcohol. Fermentation tanks, also known as fermenters, are vital for this process. Auctions often offer a wide range of fermenters in different sizes, both conical and cylindrical, suitable for small-scale to large-scale breweries. Fermentation tanks are built to last and can be found in excellent condition at auctions, providing an affordable way to equip your brewery without sacrificing quality. Many tanks come with temperature control systems, which can help improve fermentation efficiency and consistency.

3. Brew House Systems

Brewhouse systems consist of multiple pieces of equipment, including mash tuns, brew kettles, and wort coolers, designed to handle the brewing process from start to finish. These systems are available at auctions and can be found in various configurations, from smaller manual setups to large automated systems. Purchasing a used brew house system can save you considerable money, and with proper maintenance, it can still provide years of reliable service.

4. Bottling and Packaging Lines

For breweries looking to distribute their products commercially, bottling and packaging lines are essential. At auctions, you can find used bottling lines, canning machines, and packaging equipment for much lower prices than buying new. These systems are often designed for efficiency, allowing breweries to increase their production capacity. Auctions are an excellent place to find automated systems for filling, capping, labeling, and packaging bottles or cans. These machines often require minimal adjustments or refurbishing, making them a great investment for breweries that want to scale up their packaging capabilities.

5. Cooling Systems

Cooling systems are necessary to maintain the proper temperature during brewing and fermentation. Some common cooling equipment found at auctions includes plate heat exchangers, glycol chillers, and cooling jackets for fermenters and conditioning tanks. Cooling systems are vital for controlling the fermentation process and preventing overheating, so securing them at auctions can provide your brewery with a cost-effective way to meet these needs.

6. Mash Tuns

A mash tun is essential for converting the starches in grains into fermentable sugars by heating the grains in water. Mash tuns are available at auctions, and depending on the size, can cater to small craft brewers or large commercial breweries. Purchasing a used mash tun at auction allows you to acquire durable equipment that can be used for years with proper care.

7. Storage and Serving Tanks

Once your beer is brewed and fermented, it needs to be stored and served. Auctions often feature used Brite tanks, conditioning tanks, and kegging equipment. These tanks allow you to carbonate, clarify, and store your beer before packaging or serving. They come in a range of sizes, and purchasing used storage tanks can help your brewery save on capital costs.

8. Cleaning and Sanitation Equipment

Maintaining hygiene in the brewery is paramount. Auctions often include cleaning and sanitation equipment such as keg washers, CIP (clean-in-place) systems, and other sanitation tools that help keep brewing equipment free from contaminants. These items are crucial for ensuring the quality and safety of the beer, and buying them at auctions can save you money while ensuring your brewery remains compliant with health and safety regulations.

Conclusion

Buying brewing equipment at auctions offers an opportunity to acquire essential machinery at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. From brewing kettles and fermentation tanks to bottling lines and storage tanks, auctions provide a wide variety of equipment that can support any brewery’s operations. While some used equipment may require refurbishment, the savings you gain by purchasing at auctions make it a worthwhile investment.

Q&A: The climate impact of generative AI

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/qa-the-climate-impact-of-generative-ai/

Q&A: The climate impact of generative AI

Vijay Gadepally, a senior staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, leads a number of projects at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) to make computing platforms, and the artificial intelligence systems that run on them, more efficient. Here, Gadepally discusses the increasing use of generative AI in everyday tools, its hidden environmental impact, and some of the ways that Lincoln Laboratory and the greater AI community can reduce emissions for a greener future.

Q: What trends are you seeing in terms of how generative AI is being used in computing?

A: Generative AI uses machine learning (ML) to create new content, like images and text, based on data that is inputted into the ML system. At the LLSC we design and build some of the largest academic computing platforms in the world, and over the past few years we’ve seen an explosion in the number of projects that need access to high-performance computing for generative AI. We’re also seeing how generative AI is changing all sorts of fields and domains — for example, ChatGPT is already influencing the classroom and the workplace faster than regulations can seem to keep up.

We can imagine all sorts of uses for generative AI within the next decade or so, like powering highly capable virtual assistants, developing new drugs and materials, and even improving our understanding of basic science. We can’t predict everything that generative AI will be used for, but I can certainly say that with more and more complex algorithms, their compute, energy, and climate impact will continue to grow very quickly.

Q: What strategies is the LLSC using to mitigate this climate impact?

A: We’re always looking for ways to make computing more efficient, as doing so helps our data center make the most of its resources and allows our scientific colleagues to push their fields forward in as efficient a manner as possible.

As one example, we’ve been reducing the amount of power our hardware consumes by making simple changes, similar to dimming or turning off lights when you leave a room. In one experiment, we reduced the energy consumption of a group of graphics processing units by 20 percent to 30 percent, with minimal impact on their performance, by enforcing a power cap. This technique also lowered the hardware operating temperatures, making the GPUs easier to cool and longer lasting.

Another strategy is changing our behavior to be more climate-aware. At home, some of us might choose to use renewable energy sources or intelligent scheduling. We are using similar techniques at the LLSC — such as training AI models when temperatures are cooler, or when local grid energy demand is low.

We also realized that a lot of the energy spent on computing is often wasted, like how a water leak increases your bill but without any benefits to your home. We developed some new techniques that allow us to monitor computing workloads as they are running and then terminate those that are unlikely to yield good results. Surprisingly, in a number of cases we found that the majority of computations could be terminated early without compromising the end result.

Q: What’s an example of a project you’ve done that reduces the energy output of a generative AI program?

A: We recently built a climate-aware computer vision tool. Computer vision is a domain that’s focused on applying AI to images; so, differentiating between cats and dogs in an image, correctly labeling objects within an image, or looking for components of interest within an image.

In our tool, we included real-time carbon telemetry, which produces information about how much carbon is being emitted by our local grid as a model is running. Depending on this information, our system will automatically switch to a more energy-efficient version of the model, which typically has fewer parameters, in times of high carbon intensity, or a much higher-fidelity version of the model in times of low carbon intensity.

By doing this, we saw a nearly 80 percent reduction in carbon emissions over a one- to two-day period. We recently extended this idea to other generative AI tasks such as text summarization and found the same results. Interestingly, the performance sometimes improved after using our technique!

Q: What can we do as consumers of generative AI to help mitigate its climate impact?

A: As consumers, we can ask our AI providers to offer greater transparency. For example, on Google Flights, I can see a variety of options that indicate a specific flight’s carbon footprint. We should be getting similar kinds of measurements from generative AI tools so that we can make a conscious decision on which product or platform to use based on our priorities.

We can also make an effort to be more educated on generative AI emissions in general. Many of us are familiar with vehicle emissions, and it can help to talk about generative AI emissions in comparative terms. People may be surprised to know, for example, that one image-generation task is roughly equivalent to driving four miles in a gas car, or that it takes the same amount of energy to charge an electric car as it does to generate about 1,500 text summarizations.

There are many cases where customers would be happy to make a trade-off if they knew the trade-off’s impact.

Q: What do you see for the future?

A: Mitigating the climate impact of generative AI is one of those problems that people all over the world are working on, and with a similar goal. We’re doing a lot of work here at Lincoln Laboratory, but its only scratching at the surface. In the long term, data centers, AI developers, and energy grids will need to work together to provide “energy audits” to uncover other unique ways that we can improve computing efficiencies. We need more partnerships and more collaboration in order to forge ahead.
