AI Thread Summary
To protect a bike alarm made from ABS from water damage while allowing sound to escape, it's crucial to find a solution that prevents water from entering the circuit through the drilled holes. While ABS is waterproof, the concern lies in the openings that could let water in. Suggestions include exploring materials that can cover the holes without obstructing sound, such as using a mesh or porous material that allows sound to pass while keeping water out. Alternatives like silicone sealants or waterproof membranes could also be considered to seal the holes effectively without compromising the buzzer's functionality.

I have made a case for my bike alarm out of ABS. I have drilled holes to allow sound from the buzzer to come out. Now, the problem is, if it rains, my alarm will get damaged because the water would flow through the holes into the circuit. The ABS is waterproof already, but how can I prevent the water going into the circuit without blocking the sound from the buzzer? :confused:

Line the holes with cellophane?
 
that would not be good idea because the tape would come off
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
