We can learn from the mechanisms applied by the TCP layer for reliable end to end packet transmission and adapt those mechanisms at application layer for reliable message delivery. For example, for any pair of applications that need to send/receive messages, they can efficiently keep track of sequential message ids that have been transmitted, and acknowledged, yet to be acknowledged, via a windowing mechanism. Then stop transmitting and wait for acks when the unack'ed message window is full, have timeout for these waits and reset the windows to recover and retransmit. We can have performance statistics that provide visibility without much fuss.

China's manufacturing firms add a ton of value in the tech supply chain. It's not like fashion where processes are lower-skill and can easily be transitioned between countries and regions based on shifting headwinds.

It will be very difficult, expensive, and painful for chipmakers to untangle China from their supply chains. It's not all bad though, having a shorter supply chain closer to consumer markets can do wonders for lead times and for the configure to order model that's increasingly expected by shoppers.
Actually it's a problem that arises when you build a nuclear plant next to an intermediate body of water. When the river is too small (or irregular, like the Loire) you build cooling towers on your plant, and you are fine (or at least, you need much more extreme weather conditions to have issues). The problem with plants built on the Rhône is that there is usually enough water in the river for direct cooling, so the designers didn't bother with a cooling tower[1]. But when the water flow is low, you need to stop the plant.

[1]not all of them though, in some cases the Rhône's flow wasn't enough for direct cooling and they went with cooling towers: The Cruas-Meysse plant has cooling towers and it's not affected by the current heatwave. Also, the Bugey and Tricastin plants have a mix of both (2 reactors with direct cooling and two with cooling towers) and only the reactors with direct cooling are affected.

Or rather to create an artificial market and justify their pay. More deeply, it is a symptom of our economic system that forces to do such things for having a living.
Air conditioning is consuming much less electricity than heating, there's no scenario where it would become greater than the winter usage. And there's only a few reactors affected by this issue, you have this kind of clickbait article every year.

As an almost-bald man myself (who shaves smooth twice a week; what a chore [0]), may I respectfully ask if you've considered treating the psychology of self-consciousness [1] rather than the hair loss?

[0] Seriously, can someone please invent a a once-and-for-all hair removal process that means I never have to shave again? While losing my hair was the "problem" initially, the real problem has turned out to be that the balding stopped. I wish it had continued to completion.

[1] Also, if you had say, implants, wouldn't it be possible that you'd still be self-conscious, but this time about whether the implants were detectable?

EDITED to add [1].
From the intro of this article:

Activity in the amygdala and networks that process sensory stimuli increased.

The amygdala is a part of the brain that will dictate reactions to crisis before you can consciously process it. It's called "amygdala hijack" and is responsible for people doing things like leaping into a river to save a drowning child before they fully register the child consciously, so they find themselves in a river going "Why the hell am I here?" and then realize there's a child drowning in front of them.

This is potentially dangerous. Vietnam vets and others with PTSD sometimes strongly overreact to stimuli that aren't actually a signal of a problem. For example, waking a Vietnam vet can get you assaulted before they realize you aren't a danger to them, sort of like that scene where Wolverine skewers Rogue because she wakes him from a nightmare, though usually not that dramatic. (I have heard of people winding up in the ER though.)

Patrick Stewart has this awesome interview about his baldness. I'm not balding yet but it has inspired me enough that I plan to shave it all off when I eventually start.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXOK-ZVJMaU

Transcribe for those who can't watch videos, from https://wearebald.com/6740-2/

Even though Stewart lost his hair at an early age, he didn’t shave it bald for a number of years. He relates the hilarious story of the first time he went fully bald, “There was a man who was at drama school with me, Hungarian, he was older than the rest of us, he ran his own theater in Budapest. He was a man of strong personality and a good loyal friend to me. He and his wife invited me for lunch one day, the two of them got to the end of their lunch and I thought they were going to make a coffee or something.

Then all of a sudden, I was grabbed from behind by George, this big powerful man, and I thought he was playing some kind of game, so I was laughing and joking but then his wife appeared in front of me with a pair of scissors and I knew in an instant what she was going to do, and I began to scream and shout, and now it was serious. I was fighting to keep my appearance, then she lifted my hair and cut it all off.

Then George came around, knelt down in front of me and said, now you be yourself – no more hiding! And he was right because I used to walk constantly embarrassed, I couldn’t stand-up properly. It was not only inhibiting as a person, but it was hopeless if you were an actor, of course.”
I feel like that's really gonna depend on what part of the tech sector you're working in.

In the world of early and middle stage startups, you're probably right. However, in massive tech companies or more legacy-type tech companies, it seems like you're a lot more likely to find managers who are trained as managers and not engineers (MBAs, etc.)

Goat Simulator 1st Alpha Gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgTQglGvNUs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_Simulator

>Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead complimented Coffee Stain Studios on building in enough content Goat Simulator and potential expansion through Steam to prove it more than a simple joke title, and instead a brief diversion "in which the player is a willing participant". Dan Stapleton of IGN considered the title a "clever interactive spoof of all the broken game physics we’ve seen in open worlds" and despite being short, was a "hell of a good time". Tim Turi of Game Informer stated that the first hour with the game would be amusing, but due to the lack of more expansive features, he "[does not] recommend it to anyone looking for more than disposable entertainment". Steve Tilley of the Toronto Sun described the game as one where "most players will have a few hours of fun and then file [it] away as an occasional novelty to pull out when they’re especially bored".

>Rich Stanton of The Guardian was very critical of Goat Simulator, noting how the title is self-aware of its poor quality, and stated that the game's creation and promotion "demonstrates how social media and the internet amplify our supine tendencies". Andy Kelly of PC Gamer was also critical of the title, calling it a "bad, amateurish and boring game", and considered its popularity was only due to word-of-mouth and YouTube videos that enticed players to buy the game themselves.

Chris Hughes left Facebook in 2007, but I think his inputs could possibly be valuable. While a lot has changed on the product front in 12 years, the most important question is whether the thinking at the top has changed much in this period. Have Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg demonstrated that their thinking on many matters, including privacy, has changed drastically? I would argue that it hasn't changed much.

It's in the thinking patterns, the decision making patterns (what they would trade off for what) and general strategies where Chris Hughes could possibly provide deeper insight. That in turn would help connect some dots (or where to look for dots) and also find patterns where none seem to exist with raw data available right now. Such repeated patterns would be quite useful and forceful in building a case that these people and the company cannot be trusted to be a good steward by themselves and that external actions are required.

It would be great if they could somehow get the WhatsApp and Instagram founders to provide more information, though I'd presume that these would be prohibited, to some extent, by their contracts and exit agreements.

> Available nuclear power supply was down 1.4 percentage points at 65.3% of total capacity compared with Wednesday.

You left out an important part to the point of being intentionally deceptive, the opening paragraph says it's down 8% overall. If aircon were common that could mean large scale brown outs. As this becomes more common they'll probably need more solar to help with the unreliability of nuclear.

> tell me how much a solar panel drops everyday at night

Nighttime is the easiest problem to solve with solar, it correlates with lower energy use and is an extremely predictable occurrence making it much easier to plan for than weather events.

> or a wind turbine when there is no wind.

Depends on the location and what it's paired with, but wind is almost always available in some capacity.

Let's not pretend nuclear is perfect, even without events like this plants go offline for things like maintenance (TFA mentions 2 that are currently offline), renewables aren't unique in their need to build excess capacity to deal with intermittent availability.
Ars claimed that coal power stations are air cooled, your parent is refuting that by pointing out the cooling towers.

Cooling towers cool water because it was heated up in some way, possibly by cooling the power plant.

Not only cutting forces; the machine will also warp and deflect as the axes move around and shift its weight. Even when all the sensors read that the tool position is correct, there's 6 degrees of freedom and a lot of coupled error from the stack up of the errors that each sensor doesn't measure. You can't really have accuracy if the machine isn't rigid, or if it has any play. And even if you do a calibration, if the ways aren't accurate to begin with then they'll wear and change.

How about "most people aren't using electricity for heating"? People rarely heat their houses with electricity in Europe, that would be very expensive. It's usually gas or oil boiler, sometimes a coal one.

Still I agree infrastructure is a really hard problem, which is not going to get solved anytime soon. Just as an example, federated identity across HPC resources isn't even on the table, even though they are working on the next funding iteration. This means you need 3+ accounts to get anything done in the HBP way.

All it takes with the KORG is for one to play. All else follows fairly naturally. And there is a bonus! KORG does introduce one technically, and correctly with the words and concepts of record. That KORG experience adds up. People who explored their fun toys, who happen to encounter a bigger device will find things familiar.

These devices are cool, don't get me wrong, but the people talking KORG up as being early leaders here have a very solid case.

This is a great follow on, and a bit different approach. Fine.

To me, anything in this direction is awesome. Sound is fun. Music is fun. Play! (We probably live longer when we do.)
You have about 50% share of electricity heating in France, it's far from nothing.

Edit: And coal heating is probably close to zero to be honest, that sounds old, even for the countryside. The rest of those 50% would be gas, petrol and wood.

> What exactly is the "bottom" in a bottom-up approach?

Great question (to which I have no idea what the answer is). It seems to me that the various attempts are trying to simulate sets of emergent behaviours at different levels of the brain's "stack". I guess, one way of determining the success of a "lower level" simulation/emulation, is the emergence of known "higher level" behaviours?

DO provides VMs and Kubernetes as a service. AWS provides Freaking everything as a service. You might need Redis. You might need Postgres.

Hilariously think China is actually more free for the average human. Spent fair amount of time in both and as an outsider is my honest opinion.

Fortnite World Cup at Flushing
FWIW plants with cooler towers are not really affected by the heat wave, as an other comment notes the issue is for plants next to intermediate bodies of water (in France that's mostly plants on the Rhone which is a pretty large river): since they were next to a pretty big body of water they were designed without cooling towers, but the combination of warming & body of water not being quite big enough it's possible for the water flow & temperatures to adversely effect cooling and thus require throttling.
Even static accuracy is not so easy.

The scales will measure the axis position. But when you move the table over to the other end of travel, the shifting weight tilts the knee, and now your cuts that were supposed to be parallel are not. None of the scales measure this rotation.

Then, as the machine warms up, differential thermal expansion starts to twist things further...

> sidestepping the lack of modules and packaging for instance.

I'm tired of that nitpicking. These tools happen to be outside of the language for historical reasons and probably C compatibility. It's not in the language because apparently not enough people care.

And I think that the ideal way is standardizing of the OS package management first, not having a package manager (or several) for each language. But it won't happen for OS business reasons.
