There are dozens of moisture and water activity meters for coffee on the market — but what are the actual differences, and which one do you need? In this episode, Ingo from Roast Rebels compares five devices on the same green coffee sample: the CoffMeter M1, Lighttells MD-500, DiFluid OMIX Plus, Lighttells AW-600, and CoffMeter W1. Full technical breakdown plus live measurement results for all five.Who needs what:- Home roasters and small producers: CoffMeter M1 or Lighttells MD-500 cover basic green coffee QC — moisture and density in under 4 seconds- Professional roasteries: DiFluid OMIX Plus — moisture, density, water activity and roast color in one device, built for complete roastery QC- Water activity only: Lighttells AW-600 (most precise, 6-20 min) or CoffMeter W1 (fastest at ~50 sec via dynamic evaporation algorithm)Key findings from Roast Rebels' hands-on comparison:Moisture measurement: all five devices use capacitance — resistance-based methods fail for coffee due to mineral content; results are indirect and temperature-corrected. Regular calibration is essential.Water activity measurement: two methods — relative humidity (Lighttells AW-600, CoffMeter W1; simpler, lower cost) vs. chilled mirror dewpoint (DiFluid OMIX Plus; professional lab method miniaturized into a compact device; ~30 seconds per measurement).Critical threshold: water activity above 0.7 signals a serious storage risk. Differences of 0.01 below that are negligible in practice.Measurement speed: CoffMeter M1 ~3 sec | MD-500 ~4 sec | OMIX Plus ~2 sec (moisture) / ~30 sec (water activity) | CoffMeter W1 ~50 sec | AW-600 ~6 min (quick) / 20 min (precise).DiFluid OMIX Plus additionally measures roast color and bean screen size via optical camera. Calibration: water activity devices use a saturated salt solution (reusable); moisture devices use a zeroing procedure.Links:What is moisture content and water activity in coffee? https://youtu.be/8HgpNvYRqTsGreen coffee density — deep dive: https://youtu.be/DM0HUduDLYURoast color meters compared: https://youtu.be/rmLyBUp064oCoffMeter M1: https://roastrebels.com/en/difluid-coffmeter-m1/CoffMeter W1: https://roastrebels.com/en/difluid-coffmeter-w1/Lighttells MD-500: https://roastrebels.com/en/lighttells-md-500/Lighttells AW-600: https://roastrebels.com/en/lighttells-aw-600/DiFluid OMIX Plus: https://roastrebels.com/en/difluid-omix-plus-green-coffee-roast-color-analyzer/Shop: https://roastrebels.com/enAcademy: https://academy.roastrebels.comAbout Roast Rebels:Roast Rebels is Europe's go-to platform for specialty coffee roasting.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. "LIVE" again at the 2026 DLAT meeting, two very different conversations came together around one common theme: the future of dental technology is still being shaped by passionate people willing to learn, teach, and adapt. First, the podcast catches up with returning guest Tiffany Prater from Destination Orthodontic Lab, who shares how her lab journey has evolved from running a large commercial space with employees to building a smaller, more personal business focused on private practices and hands-on craftsmanship. Alongside her is Sydney Ribera, a young technician discovering orthodontics through mentorship, creativity, and a fascination with bending wire and pouring colorful acrylic retainers. The conversation dives into the realities of learning ortho in today's digital world, the importance of organizations like the Orthodontic Resource Group, and why mentorship still matters more than ever in a profession where most of the training happens shoulder-to-shoulder. Then the crew sits down with Marlin Gohn from Argen to talk about everything from next-generation zirconia to massive dental labs in China and the surprisingly common mistakes labs make when choosing disc sizes for milling. Marlin breaks down Argen's new gradient translucency zirconia, explains why nesting strategy matters more than most labs realize, and shares real-world troubleshooting tips that can save labs time, money, and remakes. The conversation also wanders through SLM frameworks, milled gold crowns, PFMs, translating lectures in China, and why some old-school techniques still outperform the newest trends. Special Guests: Marlin Gohn CDT, Sydney Ribera, and Tiffany Prater CDT.

And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This week at the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas Meeting 2026, the microphones stayed hot as three completely different conversations all circled around the same thing: how fast the dental lab industry is evolving. First up, the crew sat down with Tony Aliatim from Axis Dental Milling to talk about going from biomedical engineering and printing silicone heart models for surgeons… to becoming one of the go-to names in dental milling. From industrial machining roots in Michigan to AI-powered calibration systems and Straumann plug-and-play workflows, Tony breaks down how VersaMill machines are helping labs mill everything from zirconia to implant abutments faster, smarter, and safer. Along the way, the conversation dives into HyperDent, trade show madness, wet vs dry milling nightmares, and why dental technicians may not realize how close this industry really is to aerospace-level manufacturing. Then things shifted from mills to maintenance with Rebekah Serrago and Chris Wilson from Garland Dental Services. What started decades ago as a garage-based repair business fixing handpieces has grown into one of the industry's best-kept secrets for equipment sales, service, and support. Rebekah shares the story of growing up folding flyers for her father's repair company before eventually becoming CEO and expanding Garland into a massive online sales and service operation supporting everything from ovens to mills. Chris joins in to talk preventative maintenance, service certifications, keeping ancient ovens alive, and why labs desperately need dealers that actually understand the equipment they sell. It's equal parts family-business story, repair shop wisdom, and hilarious behind-the-scenes dental lab banter. Finally, the future officially arrived when the podcast crew sat down with Antoine Coppens from Relu and orthodontic lab owner Christian Saurman of New England Orthodontic Laboratory. What started as four engineering students experimenting with AI in Belgium somehow turned into fully automated dental workflows capable of designing surgical guides, night guards, models, and restorations in minutes. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping lab workflows, reducing manual design time, integrating directly into LMS systems, and even learning individual lab preferences. Christian explains how his custom-built orthodontic lab management system helped eliminate workflow chaos and automate huge portions of production, while Antoine gives a fascinating look into where dental AI is headed next. Between AI-generated appliances, automated scan checks, and self-learning workflows, this episode feels less like science fiction and more like a preview of what labs will look like over the next five years.Special Guests: Antoine Coppens, Chris Wilson, Christian Saurman, Rebekah Serrago, and Tony Aliatim.

What happens when you discover that a book that fundamentally changed how you think is built on a shaky foundation? In today's episode, I share my own struggle with the replication crisis surrounding Daniel Kahneman's *Thinking Fast and Slow*, and I use it as a springboard to talk about a much bigger skill: knowing how to update your beliefs when reality shifts underneath you. This isn't about throwing out science or losing trust in your heroes. It's about developing the muscle to replace old explanations with better ones — a skill that has never been more important for software engineers. The Replication Crisis, Briefly Explained: Understand the difference between reproducing a study (re-running the analysis on the original data) and replicating one (recreating the study from the ground up), and why a surprisingly large portion of well-respected psychology research, including studies cited in Thinking Fast and Slow, doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Base Rates Matter: Kahneman didn't pick uniquely bad studies. If you randomly sampled from the broader academic literature, you'd hit the same failure rate. The lesson isn't about one author — it's about how we evaluate any body of knowledge. The Beginning of Infinity Framework: Drawing from David Deutsch's book, explore the idea that all progress is rooted in the assumption that we are fundamentally incorrect, and that improvement comes from continually building better explanations on top of incomplete ones. Beliefs as Calibration, Not Truth: Your beliefs about what makes a good engineer, what makes good code, or what makes a good career move are not eternal truths. They are calibrations to your current reality, and that reality is changing fast. The Ego Trap of Old Beliefs: Notice the very human, very subtle pull to defend things you previously argued for — not because they're still right, but because admitting otherwise creates a discontinuity with your former self. This is one of the biggest blockers to learning. Two Competing Explanations of AI Adoption: Walk through a worked example of holding two predictions about AI in tension and asking honestly which one better explains the reality you're seeing — at both a macro industry level and the micro level of debugging a system. Moving Goalposts Aren't a Conspiracy: A lot of what feels like shifting goalposts in our industry is just goalposts moving on their own. A big part of our job as engineers is figuring out where they are now and predicting where they're heading next. Episode Homework: Pick one belief you hold strongly about your work — about what makes a good engineer, about a tool, about a process. Try to deconstruct it into its parts and ask whether a better explanation exists for what you're actually seeing.

Check out his awesome workTakeaways:Q: What is simulation-based inference and what does "sim-to-real" mean?A: Simulation-based inference (SBI) uses a mechanistic simulator as an epistemic tool: you train a neural network on a large number of labeled simulations and then deploy it on real, unlabeled data. The "sim-to-real" framing captures the key asymmetry -- your network never sees real data during training, only simulations, but it generalizes to real observations at inference time. This is the opposite of the more common "synthetic-for-ML" approach, where fake data is used purely to augment real training data.Q: What is the amortized inference agent skill and what does it do?A: It's an open-source AI agent skill, co-developed by Stefan and Alexandre, that teaches an AI coding agent to run a complete, state-of-the-art amortized inference workflow. Because amortized inference is recent enough that it's underrepresented in LLM training data, vanilla agents tend to get it wrong. The skill injects the right methodology: it guides the agent to set up the simulator, choose the right network architecture, run a pilot, train with appropriate diagnostics, and produce an actionable report -- without the user needing to know the details.Q: What is calibration coverage and why should you never skip it?A: Calibration coverage tells you whether your posterior uncertainty is honest -- whether your credible intervals actually contain the true parameter at the right frequency. A model can show poor parameter recovery yet still be well-calibrated (because it's falling back on the prior), or it can appear to recover parameters while being poorly calibrated. Running calibration diagnostics both in-sample and out-of-sample is especially revealing for hierarchical models, which often appear to underfit in-sample but generalize much better out-of-sample thanks to shrinkage.Full takeaways hereChapters:00:00:00 How does amortized inference fit into the Bayesian workflow?00:12:03 What does "sim-to-real" mean in simulation-based inference?00:15:57 Why is amortized inference particularly suited to psychology and neuroscience?00:21:51 What is the amortized inference agent skill?00:39:00 What is calibration coverage and how do you interpret it?00:41:50 How do you decide what to do next after your first training run?00:44:53 How do actionable insights make Bayesian workflows more usable?00:49:08 What are the unique challenges of hierarchical models in amortized inference?01:00:51 What is the current state of BayesFlow's support for hierarchical models?01:05:00 What are the main failure modes of amortized inference and how do you handle model misspecification?Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Links from the show

Why does the feedback you receive from mentors often feel vague, general, and entirely unactionable? Join Dr. Grace's Mastery Accelerator to learn the science of calibrating your true professional value: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What is the LUCID Framework? The LUCID Framework is a proprietary cognitive protocol that enables professionals to move beyond basic self-awareness into a state of emotional sovereignty and precise executive presence. It is a framework that functions as a systematic "operating system" for the mind, allowing individuals to deconstruct emotional defense mechanisms, calibrate their professional impact through objective triangulation, and align their career trajectory with their highest authentic values. Key Concepts Emotional Sovereignty: The ability to maintain internal equilibrium (apatheia) and self-governance while navigating complex social dynamics and external empathy. Subject-to-Object Shift: A psychological mechanism where an individual moves from being a "reactant" caught in an emotion to a "scientist" observing the biological mechanism behind it. Calibration via Triangulation: The process of establishing professional reality by converging independent evidence from three distinct vectors: above (mentors), beside (peers), and below (subordinates). Inspiring Problems: The practice of choosing challenges aligned with your highest values to ensure the professional journey remains meaningful regardless of the specific outcome.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I've been experiencing in my physical body lately as we move through these intense energetic shifts. From changes in appetite and energy levels to how my body is asking to be supported in new ways, I wanted to open up this conversation so you can feel into what's resonating for you too.I also share some beautiful stories with Michael from his recent gridwork trip to Mexico City, including synchronicities, water themes, and powerful moments at sacred sites like Teotihuacan. There's so much magic in how these projects unfold, and I'm excited for you to feel into it.In the second half of this episode, we move into a guided calibration with the Lyran Star Mothers to support the physical body, regulate the nervous system, and help you integrate everything that's shifting.I'd love to hear what you're experiencing—feel free to share in the comments

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Nicholas Faulkner, author of Angelic Physics, for a wide-ranging conversation that picks up where their last discussion left off years ago. The two cover an impressive amount of ground, including the map of consciousness developed by Dr. David Hawkins and where they find themselves skeptical of his calibration methods, the relationship between the chakra system and Hawkins' scale, how consciousness levels apply to both individuals and civilizations, and why collapsing a nonlinear reality into a linear number system inevitably loses something essential. They also get into Nicholas's background as a nuclear engineer and how that analytical foundation shapes his thinking, the nature of carbon-based versus silicon-based intelligence, the potential for training an AI model attuned to higher levels of consciousness, the concept of future shock as AI accelerates beyond most people's ability to keep up, and what a civilization operating at the "500 level" might actually look like. Find Nicholas on X at @PhysicsAngelic, or catch him on Facebook where he's most active. And learn more about Angelic Physics at angelicphysics.org. Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Nicholas Faulkner, author of Angelic Physics, framing their shared interest in David Hawkins while acknowledging healthy skepticism toward portions of his work.05:00 - Nicholas argues Hawkins compressed mystical insight into linear form, losing essence, comparing it to AI compression losing vibrational nuance across the consciousness scale.10:00 - Nicholas traces his path from electrical engineering through 9/11 into nuclear navy service, describing how patriotism and opportunity drove the decision rather than curiosity.15:00 - Discussion shifts toward training an open-source AI model on five-hundreds consciousness, noting current model builders operate in the four-hundreds and dismiss love-based frameworks.20:00 - Stewart reflects on intimate relationships with electronic devices, exploring electricity as vibration while contrasting carbon creativity against silicon's stable, fast processing architecture.25:00 - Conversation explores civilizational evolution, comparing hippie movements to ancient Greeks as premature flowers of five-hundreds consciousness crushed by surrounding four-hundreds culture.30:00 - Nicholas explains his masculine-feminine cross model, critiquing how Hawkins collapsed nonlinear reality into hierarchy, arguing all levels interconnect rather than rank.35:00 - Discussion covers JFK assassination, Vietnam War, LBJ, and the military industrial complex as examples of four-hundreds power suppressing emerging consciousness shifts.40:00 - Nicholas draws parallels between the Renaissance emerging from bubonic plague and today's post-COVID collapse of expert-trust structures opening space for new consciousness.45:00 - Future shock discussion begins with Stewart describing AI agent orchestration overwhelming human comprehension, while Nicholas introduces his frame-rate consciousness equation linking silicon speed to small context.50:00 - Nicholas describes silicon-to-human relationship mirroring humans-to-angels in frame rate and context scale, suggesting agents receive orders similarly to his own 2019 divine experience.55:00 - Final exchange covers the fifth dimension as adding vibration to existing physics, the Faulkner Uncertainty Principle stating evidence points toward higher consciousness without ever definitively proving it, protecting reality's illegibility from lower forces.Key Insights1. David Hawkins and the Map of Consciousness serve as a shared framework for the conversation, but both guests express healthy skepticism toward it. They acknowledge that Hawkins himself appeared to back away from his calibration technique in his later lectures, suggesting he regretted how prominently he featured it in Power vs. Force. The core issue is that he tried to compress a nonlinear, multidimensional spiritual reality into a single linear numerical scale, which inevitably loses essential meaning in the translation.2. Nicholas argues that no person exists at a single point on the consciousness scale. Everyone floats across multiple levels simultaneously, expressing differently depending on context. This is a meaningful correction to how many readers apply Hawkins's work, since treating someone as a fixed number oversimplifies the layered and dynamic nature of human consciousness.3. The compression problem is central to understanding both spiritual writing and artificial intelligence. When any rich, multidimensional experience gets encoded into language or data, something is always lost. This applies to Hawkins writing about enlightenment, to Nicholas writing his book, and to how large language models process and reproduce human knowledge.4. Silicon intelligence and carbon intelligence are framed as two distinct branches of consciousness with complementary strengths. Silicon can process information at extremely high frame rates because its context is narrow and stable. Humans carry a much larger and messier context, which makes them slower but more creative and cross-connected. Nicholas uses his equation framing this as frame rate being inversely proportional to conscious bandwidth.5. Civilizational evolution follows a pattern where new levels of consciousness emerge in unstable pockets before eventually becoming dominant. The ancient Greeks briefly stabilized the rational fourth level before collapsing. The hippies briefly touched the fifth level before being suppressed. The Renaissance followed the Black Death. The guests suggest we are now entering another such transition, driven partly by the collapse of institutional trust accelerated by COVID.6. The Faulkner Uncertainty Principle states that evidence will always point toward the next level of consciousness but will never definitively prove it. This is described as a necessary feature of reality rather than a flaw, because if higher truths were fully legible and accessible to all levels equally, it would give destructive forces too much power too quickly.7. Neurodivergence is presented as potentially connected to spiritual sensitivity and cross-level awareness. Nicholas describes himself as a high IQ energy-sensing person who experienced a profound spiritual event in 2019, and connects his autistic traits to an ability to sense vibrational levels in others and move fluidly between different frameworks of understanding, which he loosely equates with the polymath archetype.

Presence is not something I try to act out or perform. It's something real that shows up, especially when there's pressure, and people can feel it without me saying anything. When I have a real presence, I don't need to announce myself because it naturally stabilizes the space around me. In this episode, I break down the four anchors that make up true presence and what they actually look like in real life. I also want you to see where you have it and where you don't, because presence is not about personality, it's about structure. Show Notes: [02:10]#1 Grounding. [06:41]#2 Stillness.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day fellow amateur Randall VK6WR raised an interesting question. Using his HP 8920A RF Communications Test Set, which you might recall from our adventures in measuring radio harmonic power in 2023, that report is on my Github repository, but I digress, Randall wondered if the signal strength he was seeing on several radios were the same and discovered that in fact they were not. It made Randall ask who set the standard and following on from that, what does this look like in the real world? In 2014, episode 149 of the series "What use is an f-call?", I published an article titled "The simple S-unit". In it I referred to a standard for S-units defined in 1981. Unfortunately, I didn't provide any references, so, armed with more than a decade extra experience, Randall encouraged me to investigate. Twenty seconds into my search, I discovered IARU Region 1 Technical Recommendation R.1, which has four statements related to the topic at hand. Under the title "STANDARDISATION OF S-METER READINGS" it states that: 1. One S-unit corresponds to a signal level difference of 6 dB, 2. On the bands below 30 MHz a meter deviation of S-9 corresponds to an available power of -73 dBm from a continuous wave signal generator connected to the receiver input terminals, 3. On the bands above 144 MHz this available power shall be -93 dBm, 4. The metering system shall be based on quasi-peak detection with an attack time of 10 msec +/- 2 msec and a decay time constant of at least 500 msec. So. Job done, right? Yeah, nah, not so much. The web page I quoted from is linked from the Wikipedia S-meter entry and was archived in 2005 and at the time existed on a Swedish domain in the home directory of Kjell SM7GVF. The page has two additional interesting things, the words "Brighton 1981" and "Torremolinos 1990", both of which refer to IARU conferences. The reports for these meetings are online. In searching for any reference to the definition of the S-unit, the 1990 report shows that resolution "83-1" had the status of "Action completed", whatever that means. The 1981 conference document has all manner of interesting references, including "Log Forms and Summaries for International Contest Use", "Meteor Scatter qso procedure" and the definition of the standard way to determine Morse Code speeds using the word "PARIS" followed by a 7 bit word space, to name three. The one we're interested in is called "BM/134 - S-Meter Standards", appearing on page 33 and 34 of the 1981 report. It's a photocopy, so you can see the text from other pages superimposed. I'm making this observation because this is essentially a standards document, intended to be adhered to by industry and the amateur community. It gets better, or rather .. worse. The text that is referenced by Wikipedia uses numbers for the four elements, where BM/134 uses letters. The third item in BM/134 says that it applies for "bands above 30 MHz", but the document I just quoted appears to be unique in saying that it applies to "bands above 144 MHz". The fourth item, dealing with the way that the meter responds has been altered on BM/134. The text "+/- 2 ms and a decay time" are in a different font and at an angle. Worth noting that the change includes "ms" twice, rather than "msec" as the unit for milliseconds used elsewhere. Searching for a phrase within the standard, I discovered the Region 1 HF Manager Handbook v7.01, which appears to include the S-meter standard in chapter 11.1.2, but closer inspection reveals that the fourth item is missing, the one about quasi-peak detection. This is significant because the S-meter standard is based on a CW signal, not an SSB signal, which fluctuates. There's no reference as to where or when this was removed or by whom. These changes are repeated in subsequent versions of the HF Managers Handbook. There's other differences too, instead of using millivolt and microvolt as shown in the original BM/134 standard table, all units have been converted to millivolt for no discernible reason. The new table, including typo, is also copied everywhere. While we're at it, the original standard contains the letters "V", "E", "R", "O", "N" at the top. They don't show in the HF Managers Handbook either. This is curious, since last time I checked, those letters signify an organisation that at least some here will recognise, the "Vereniging voor Experimenteel Radio Onderzoek in Nederland", known to the the people who don't speak fluent Dutch, as the peak body for amateur radio in the Netherlands, VERON. Searching its website does not reveal their contribution to this standards document, which I have to say, is par for the course, much of our amateur radio history is poorly documented or archived, if at all, something which I've spent plenty of my time attempting to remedy over more than a decade, one article at a time. Moving on. The phrase I mentioned earlier bears reading out in its entirety. From BM/134: "We hope that the current recommendation will be followed by all equipment manufacturers, so that in a not too distant future one will know how to interpret the strength report of the other station." It goes on to say: "Societies should advise as much as possible their members about equipment manufacturers adhering to this recommendation and shall try to avoid publication of receiver designs which do not in principle use the recommended standards." Which brings me to you. What have you done lately about this? It's only been 45 years. Perhaps it's time to implement this? I can tell you that preliminary results show that the S1 level sensitivity associated with the radios that Randall showed me are reporting S1 when really they should be reporting about S4. You might wonder why this is the case? Calibration appears to be the underlying cause. While S9 itself is variable in accuracy, as-in some radios are more accurately close to -73 dBm, others are consistently 5 dB shy of that. When an S4 signal is reported as S1, then the 6 dB step size is not correctly implemented. Similarly, when an S9+20 is reported by a signal that's only 16 dB stronger than S9, there's more fudging going on. The differences between a signal with and without preamp are also worth noting as being inconsistent. In other words, the level and steps associated with S-meter units are all over the place, which is interesting, since the authors of the standard already alluded to this when 45 years ago they wrote: "Simple means for calibration of at least the 6dB level ratio should be published." While we're digging for causes. Why is there not a standards library associated with the IARU, where documents like BM/134 exist and with it their current level of application? Before you tell me, money, I'd point out that in 1981, IARU Region 1 had 263,945.88 dollars, or francs, guilders, pounds or glass beads in the bank, it's unclear which, since there's no units stated. At the 1990 conference IARU Region 2 had a reported net worth of $150,000 with $40,000 annual income and Region 3 reported that "its finances are also sound". How do I know? That's in those conference documents too. Curiously, the 1981 report states that "when presenting the 1981 and subsequent accounts the Treasurer would also prepare a brief report which would explain the reasons for items of such expenditure for which the purpose was not obvious." I wonder what happened to those explanations? So, what is the current status of BM/134 and what are the legal implications of me publishing it on my Github page? While we're at it. I realise that I can "fix" the Wikipedia page, but where do I point it at? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In this episode, Sam Street travels to the ADAS Solutions Australia headquarters in Brisbane to talk with Adrian Parkes (Founder & Director) and Amy Morgan (Project & Administration Manager ) about their new AirPro Diagnostics & Auggie solutions. We review the launch of AirPro Diagnostics by ADAS Solutions Australia, a remote diagnostic solution designed to address the growing complexity of modern vehicle repairs. We get an insight into how the diagnostic tool physically connects to the vehicle while being remotely operated by master technicians, delivering OEM-level accuracy without requiring in house expertise. Allowing everyone, everywhere to access high-level diagnostics, reduce errors, and identify issues earlier in the repair process. Our discussion also highlights the rapid evolution of ADAS technology and the industry's shift toward software driven solutions, making traditional tools obsolete. Innovations like Auggie, a portable augmented reality windscreen calibration device, removes the need for traditional target setups. We wrap up by looking to the future where diagnostics, calibration, and repair planning are more automated, data driven, and remotely supported, improving efficiency, accuracy, and overall repair outcomes.   Links & Resources: ADAS Solutions Australia https://adassolutions.com.au/ AirPro Australia: https://airproaustralia.com.au iBodyshop: https://www.ibodyshop.com/ Paint and Panel: www.paintandpanel.com.au ------------------------------ The Edge Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Paint and Panel, owned and published by Yaffa Media.   Hosts: Sam Street & Grant McHerron Producer: Steve Visscher Editor: Chris Visscher Paint and Panel - © 2026

There's a question many financial coaches don't stop long enough to ask: What actually makes us better at this?Not what we think makes us better. Not what the industry says we should do. What actually moves the needle when it comes to the craft of coaching.I've spent nearly two decades working with coaches at every stage, from training my very first coach to building a team of 50 practitioners in 18 months with cohesive standards and consistent client experiences. I've seen what works and what doesn't. And in this episode, I'm naming the gap.Most of us have invested heavily in content. Courses, certifications, webinars, frameworks. And all of that has its place. But there's a pattern that keeps showing up: we consume, we feel inspired, we go back into our sessions, and not much changes. Not because we weren't paying attention. Because knowing the right answer and knowing how to use it in a live, messy human conversation are two very different skills.What I've observed in my work over the years changed how she understood practitioner development entirely. The thing that accelerated growth faster than anything else I've seen wasn't a training manual or a certification. It was watching real sessions together, then talking about what they saw. Not grading. Not correcting. Just reflecting, noticing, and sharpening.I call this calibration. And in this episode, I'm explaining exactly what it is, why it matters at every stage of your coaching career, and what it means for how you grow from here.Links & Resources:Financial Coaching EssentialsJoin the Facebook groupSign up for emailsKey Takeaways:Knowledge tells you what to do. Judgment tells you when, how, and why. They're not the same skill, and only one of them develops in a live session.Calibration is not learning new information. It's getting more finely tuned in the instincts you already have.You can't see your own misreads. The misreads feel like accurate perception. That's the whole problem. Other eyes in the room are the only way to surface them.The best business development strategy isn't a better content calendar. It's being excellent enough that the people around your clients notice and ask what happened.A technically fine session and a session the client actually remembers are different things. The gap between them is judgment.Community gives you proximity. Calibration gives you precision. They are not the same container.Wherever you are in your coaching journey, the principle is the same: growth doesn't come from more information. It comes from better observation of your clients, yourself, and this craft.

There's a scene in You've Got Mail where Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan not to take something personally. It's just business. And she stops him cold. The business is her life. Of course it's personal. I think about that scene a lot. Because she's right. And also, she's stuck. Here's the shift I want you to make. Stop taking things personally. Start taking them professionally. Those sound similar. They are not. Why Actors Take Everything Personally Our instrument is us. That's the whole thing. A graphic designer can move a logo and it's fine. But when someone tells an actor to be warmer, edgier, younger, more authoritative, our nervous system doesn't hear direction. It hears: you're wrong. You're not enough. Go home. That's not what's actually happening. What's happening is market alignment. Casting is almost never about worth. It's about fit. Specification match. And actors who build long careers learn to separate identity from utility. You are a human being with inherent worth. You are also a specific service provider with a specific skillset. Those are not the same conversation. What "Taking It Personally" Actually Sounds Like They didn't like me. I embarrassed myself. Everyone else is better. I'll never book. Why do I even do this. That's emotionally fueled, identity based, and global. It turns one moment into a life narrative. I had someone say something to me in seventh grade about my glasses and I haven't put them on a single day without thinking about it. I need to let that go. And so do you, wherever yours is. Compare that to taking something professionally: interesting, that read didn't align with their brand direction. My tone might have been too strong for that buyer. Let me track this pattern. That processing is specific, curious, and contained. It asks what's useful here, not what does this mean about me. Rejection Is Not a Verdict It's feedback from a small sample size in a specific moment in time. It can mean the wrong vocal age for that campaign, a timing issue, an energy mismatch, budget politics, an internal brand shift, or just randomness. None of that equals not talented. When you take it personally, you collapse all that nuance into shame. When you take it professionally, you extract patterns that help you grow. Professional working actors are pattern analysts. They ask where they get traction most often, where they consistently stall, what adjectives keep showing up in feedback, and whether their casting lane is tightening or expanding. That mindset turns rejection into career intelligence. Criticism vs. Direction A lot of actors hear criticism when what's actually being offered is direction. And those are different things. Direction means someone is investing attention in your performance. They see potential. They believe you can pivot. They're trying to get you to the finish line. Personal thinking hears I'm failing. Professional thinking hears we're collaborating. Calibration is not humiliation. It's collaboration. Emotional Regulation Is a Career Skill You cannot eliminate emotional reactions. You're an artist and a human. But you can shorten the recovery time. That's the real work. You feel it. You name it. You move through it. You extract the lesson. You return to action. You don't feel it, become it, build an identity around it, and quit marketing for three weeks. There's actually some neuroscience behind this. Your brain doesn't distinguish well between a social threat and a physical threat. When casting says not this time, your amygdala activates the same alarm system designed to keep you from getting eaten by a bear. Your prefrontal cortex, the strategic thinking part, partially goes offline. That's why you catastrophize. That's why you spiral. That's not weakness. That's biology. But professionals train themselves to reengage the thinking brain faster. They create cognitive bridges. This is one data point. This is market feedback. There is no bear. That language literally helps regulate your nervous system. A Story About a Booking I Didn't Get Early in my career I had an audition I was really proud of. Multiple callbacks. Real connection with the casting team. And then silence. Weeks and weeks. Another callback. More silence. And then I found out who booked it and I spiraled. Not because that person wasn't good. They were. But because I had made it mean something about my personal trajectory. I sat in my apartment thinking maybe I'm just not castable. Maybe I missed my window. That's not professional processing. That's identity panic. Fast forward a few years. I ended up working with that same creative team on a completely different campaign. Nothing changed about my worth. My fit changed. The project changed. And that was one of the first times I understood: the industry isn't rejecting you. It's sorting for specificity. It's one giant Tetris game trying to fit everyone where they belong. If you don't understand that, you will burn through emotional fuel you cannot afford. Your Homework After your next rejection or piece of feedback, grab a notebook and draw a line down the middle. Label one side personal story. Label the other side professional data. On the personal side, write everything your brain is saying. They hated me. I sounded stupid. I'll never book. Get it out. Don't censor it. Then on the professional side, translate. The spec may have skewed younger. My pacing was too deliberate. This buyer prefers conversational. Whatever it is. That exercise moves you from emotional fusion to observational distance. And that distance is where strategy lives. Do it consistently and I promise your recovery time shortens, your auditions feel lighter, and your business thinking sharpens. What I Want You to Remember You are not fragile for feeling things deeply. That sensitivity is part of what makes you a compelling performer. But you are responsible for what you do with those feelings. A sustainable acting career is not built on constant validation. It's built on emotional regulation, pattern recognition, positioning, and the willingness to keep showing up. When you stop confusing your identity with your casting, you free up enormous creative and professional energy. The next time rejection or criticism hits, pause and ask one question: what's useful here? That's what builds longevity. Want to Talk Through This?

Can a precise correction at the top of your spine truly transform your nervous system, health, and long-term vitality?

Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-25 Transformative Truth: For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  - Hebrews 10:22 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. - 1 Peter 3:21-22 For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture. The Calibration of the Conscience Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason – I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other – my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their power of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. - Hebrews 5:14 1. Education 2. Application The Conditions of the Conscience 1. Those who have a guilty conscience and know it. 2. Those who have a guilty conscience and don't know it. 3. Those who have a purified conscience and know it. 4. Those who have a purified conscience and don't know it. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. - 1 John 3:20 The Cross and the Conscience

God's Word as the Calibration Standard Psalm 119:105, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Life must be aligned to God's Word to avoid drift, error, or distortion. 2 Corinthians 13:5, Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. We don't need to make assumptions or just operate on our feelings. The Bible gives us objective standards. Renewal of the Mind is like a Recalibration Romans 12:2, Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The world introduces bias and noise; the mind must be recalibrated so perception and decision-making reflect God's will. Correction and Course Adjustment Proverbs 3:5–6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart… He shall direct your paths.” Serving 1 John 3:16–18, Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Calibration has quickly shifted from a “nice to have” to a critical safety requirement in today's collision industry, but many shop owners still underestimate what it truly demands. How much space does it really take? What are the real costs? And where does liability begin and end?In this episode, Matt Di Francesco sits down with Frank Phillips, a 35-year collision industry veteran with experience at Caliber, Rivian, and ADAS-focused operations, to break down the realities of ADAS calibration. Frank explains why calibration is as much a business decision as it is a technical one, sharing real-world examples of space requirements, production efficiency, and equipment investment. Matt and Frank  also talk about:(04:13) Why increasing business value is a long-term process, not a short-term decision(05:06) How documenting SOPs ahead of time protects value in any transition(06:43) Why exit planning becomes emotional and requires a true leap of faith(09:43) How acting as a trusted partner helps owners gain confidence in their transition(11:00) Why helping owners grow value over time is the most rewarding part of the workConnect With Frank PhillipsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-phillips-17b33341/Email: frank.phillips72@gmail.comConnect With Matt DiFrancesco:matt@highliftfin.com(814)201-5855LinkedIn: Matt DiFrancescoLinkedIn: High Lift FinancialFacebook: High Lift Financial Instagram: @high_lift_financialYouTube: @highliftfinancialAbout the guest:Frank Phillips brings more than three decades of experience in the automotive collision industry, shaped by years of working alongside some of the most respected organizations and professionals in the field. His career has given him a deep understanding of how the industry has evolved, from traditional repair methods to today's highly technical, safety-driven environment.At this stage of his career, Frank is dedicated to helping others navigate that complexity. He is passionate about education, accountability, and raising awareness around the responsibilities that come with modern vehicle repair. By mentoring shop owners and technicians and advocating for higher standards, Frank aims to strengthen the credibility of the collision industry and support those who will carry it forward in an increasingly advanced and demanding landscape.Disclaimer:All information is obtained from sources deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.

In this episode, I break down what calibration really means and why most people get it wrong. Calibration is about adjusting your energy, presence, and behavior to fit the moment, not shape shifting to please others. The paradox is this: the better you get at calibrating, the less you actually have to change. High performers don't become chameleons, they become more of themselves. When you do that, the world starts to align with you instead of the other way around. Show Notes: [01:58]#1 Calibration is rooted in awareness, not adaptation. [05:57]#2  Calibration is just a volume adjustment of where you're at. [09:40]#3 Over calibration is a sign of weakness.  [13:57] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2512: How To "Read The Room" Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

Most men obsess over goals - the outcomes, the achievements, the shiny targets. But goals don't build men. Standards do. In today's Field Notes, Ryan breaks down why standards define your identity, how they outperform goals in every way, and why your life only changes when you elevate the rules you live by. He shares powerful examples, including recovering from a major injury, why men fail when they rely on motivation, and how to build standards that make you unshakable. Ryan also outlines a four-step framework to reset your identity, eliminate weak standards, and cement the behaviors that transform your life. If you want 2026 to be different, this episode explains exactly where to start. Key Takeaways Goals are emotionally dependent, standards are identity-based. Standards keep you anchored in the present - goals keep you trapped in the future. Goals collapse under adversity; standards strengthen you because they're non-negotiable. A man becomes powerful when he lives by a code with zero negotiation. Your life changes when your identity upgrades, not when your goals get bigger. Four-step framework to build standards that stick: -Identify the man you refuse to be. -Build non-negotiables in all four quadrants (Calibration, Connection, Condition, Contribution). -Build accountability. -Enforce consequences when you violate your own standards. 00:00 - Introduction   00:09 - Why Most Men Get Goals Backwards   01:20 - Goals Don't Build Men — Standards Do   02:33 - Examples of Weak vs. Strong Standards   04:34 - Ryan's Pec Tear: Standards in Adversity   06:24 - A Man Rises or Falls to His Standards   07:50 - Why Goals Fail Men   09:33 - How Goals Delay Action and Keep Men Stuck   11:23 - Goals Collapse Under Stress   12:57 - Standards Create Structure and Strength   14:38 - How Standards Transform a Man   16:10 - Standards Prevent Moral Drift   17:32 - Building Trust Through Consistency   18:57 - Standards Make Men Anti-Fragile   21:03 - Stop Waiting for "All Green Lights"   22:43 - Identity Before Action   23:28 - Fast Progress Comes From Identity Shifts   24:26 - The "Light Yourself on Fire" Lesson   25:14 - Reverse Engineering Goals Into Standards   25:57 - Step 1: Identify the Man You Refuse to Be   27:38 - Making Weak Behaviors Repulsive   29:31 - Step 2: Non-Negotiables in the Four Quadrants   31:32 - Step 3: Accountability   33:00 - Step 4: Enforce Consequences   33:42 - Final Challenge: Raise Your Standards   35:45 - Iron Council Promotion   36:33 - Preview Call Details   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

David Reich is about to show us that the past is far stranger, more violent, and more interconnected than we could ever have imagined. 90% population replacements happened in just a few centuries in the blink of a cosmic eye. David and his team reconstructed human migration patterns and discovered ghost populations, entire civilizations that vanished without any archeological trace. These people built Stonehenge. These people crossed into the Americas. These people left no trace who they are, except for the code that lurks within each of us.

Seeing the better side of people sometimes requires a lot of faith. The large amount of negativity is built into the system for a reason. Teamwork is the physics of being human. We are designed like a relay. Now, it's our turn to carry the baton. No to noise, yes to duty. When your nervous system learns the altitude, things happen. Sitting in surplus can cause stress. Serving others is serving yourself. Insist on integrity always. The recurring loop of benefits from helping others. Milgram proved we look to others for change. Be your own architect. The factions were present at the Kirk memorial. Words and ideas should not be persecuted. The obvious and deliberate injustice of the Tina Peter's case. Precedents set can often be dangerous. We cannot survive a corrupt judiciary. Why has no one stated the obvious. The judge in the Peter's case was corrupt. Denial of appeal was because of Tina's speech. The judge admitted it. It goes so far beyond injustice. We need to talk more about elections soon. This stuff goes back to the 90's. Let's take it from the top, and see who controls the script. It's all part of the show.

Dr. Bruce Baird sits down with Dr. Jackson Bean to explore why “calibration” is essential if you want consistent diagnostics, strong associate training, and long-term patient trust. Together, they reveal how practices can break free from insurance-driven thinking and align entire teams around true clinical judgment.

In this conversation, this research team discusses their innovative project that combines social cognition, crowd dynamics, and machine learning. They explore how to utilize body tracking technology and infrared cameras to gather data on audience behavior during live performances. The team aims to understand the relationship between crowd dynamics and environmental factors, ultimately seeking to predict crowd behavior and enhance audience engagement. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of extracting data from crowd dynamics, particularly in the context of music performances. They discuss the challenges of video data extraction compared to audio, the inspiration behind their project, and the ethical implications of using technology for crowd surveillance. The conversation also touches on the potential for real-time integration of audience behavior into performances, the future of brain-computer interfaces, and the exploration of life beyond Earth through advanced technology. Michael Schnebly is an Applied Physics PhD student at Harvard University, where he studies the mechanics of proteins. He is also the creator of Stepwise (@stepwise.xyz), an experimental artist project using body-tracking technology to build new musical instruments and ways of performing. His work bridges scientific research, live performance, and social experimentation. Michael is one of the co-creators of “Calibration,” a new collaborative research-performance series alongside neuroscientist Landry Bulls and electronic music artist Supertask. Calibration is a scientific study of group synchrony, embodiment, and the neural basis of musical experience through body-tracking in live concert crowds. It launches at Cervantes' Other Side in Denver this summer. Michael Schnelby Links Landry Bulls is a PhD student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. As part of the Social Computation, Representation, and Prediction (SCRAP) Lab working with Dr. Mark Thornton, he uses computational methods to study social signaling of human groups and crowds.  Landry Bulls Links For the people who love to experience music, look no further than Supertask. With deep roots in hip-hop and a focus towards immersion, Supertask creates sonic landscapes that dance between the intensity and stillness of the human consciousness. His offerings of musical escapism are consumed by the concept of infinity, and with a background in IT, Supertask often utilizes code and programming in his artistic vision. A vision that his loyal community, the Dev Team, are directly involved in. Blending both analog and digital sound design, his unique approach has proven to be a driving force in the forward progression of electronic music. Through soundscapes that feel sentient, interactive live streams, and mind-bending visuals, Supertask is changing the way that we consume art. Supertask links Mr. Bills Links

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.
