On the IKEA SMAKLIG Built-in Induction Hob: Review - Is an induction hob better than cooking with gas? How about health and carbon? #induction #cutCarbon #airQuality - https://m.earth.org.uk/note-on-IKEA-SMAKLIG-built-in-induction-hob.html

I made an interesting and concerning discovery with regard to #induction cooking.

We've had an induction range with electric oven for a couple of years now.
When we first used it, I was mildly surprised to learn it has cooling fans, I assume to keep the induction circuitry from getting cooked.

We had a large spill while cooking, and to clean the drips, I removed the oven door, which is done fairly easily without tools.

With the door removed, several air intakes were exposed, and these were all coated in dust bunnies, very similar to what you find at the bottom grille of a refrigerator.

I cleaned the intakes as well as I could, but this implies that deep inside this appliance are a bunch of dust-encrusted fan blades.

Now, refrigerator dust bunnies can reduce the efficiency of the fridge, and even shorten its life.

But having dust build up inside a box that can reach over 500 °F seems to me like a potential fire hazard that we're not going to find out about until there's lots of these in homes for 5-10 years…

And the thing is, it's not the actual induction method that's problematic here; it's the combination of a conventional electric oven with induction elements on top, and those fans, which wouldn't be found in a conventional electric stovetop…

Should the dust inside ignite, it won't be like a typical oven fire, which is often grease burning inside the oven compartment; this will be in the inaccessible space between the oven and the cooktop, or in the back, where I believe at least one fan is.

So I did indeed save induction. I justified the belief in the uniformity of nature by equating causation with necessitation as a rational rather than empirical relationship that can be discovered through reason or deduction. So now we can make inductive inferences and come to probabilistic knowledge. #philosophy #epistemology #induction

I conservatively believe in the uniformity of nature but within the framework of holism and not reductionism. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction

The thing, process, or correlation that happens can't change without a genuine cause. By genuine cause I mean that rational necessary relationship. Because of this disuniformity is impossible. My reasoning is this. If A can't exist while B exists then A needs Not-B so it can exist. Likewise if A exists then Not-B must exist. According to this reasoning causeless popping into existence or change is impossible. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction

It seems disuniformity is impossible. That being said uniformity has too much of a universalist vibe to it. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction

Up to now I'm leaning away from disuniformity while also not leaning towards uniformity. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction

Personally I don't like assuming the uniformity of nature and observing repeated correlations to establish cause and effect. Observed repeated correlations can point us in the right direction but to establish cause we need to identify the rational necessary relationship. Something like if a water molecule exists then an oxygen atom must exist or if up exists down must exist. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction #causation #cause

Things can and do change from place to place and time to time relative to that place and time but that's relativity. Disuniformity in the usual sense is different from that. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #induction

My thinking is that uniformity and disuniformity are the only two options and that one or the other has to be caused and can't be causeless. This is based on my conceptualization of causation as necessitation in a deductive sense. Like how when you have a water molecule you must have an oxygen atom or that when you have up you must have down. #philosophy #induction

It seems false expectations based on past observations are the result of ignorance or lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge about the farmer fattening you up or that a coin flip has only two possible outcomes and how that relates to probability. #philosophy #induction
