Yes there are, but would it be possible to replace them with ML and get more accurate predictions?

Yeah, that’s pretty impressive. I wonder if you could apply the same philosophy in other areas too. Instead of training the model with data produced in a simulation, you could just feed it real world data instead. Like, if you gave a bunch of stress-strain data to a model, could you make better predictions about the behavior of physical structures, such as bridges and towers.

Loosing weight starts at the supermarket.

If you decide to buy sugary delicacies, you’ll have to resist the temptation at home, which you’ll inevitably fail. Just skip that boss fight entirely by not buying tempting things in the first place. Ok, maybe once a week, but certainly not every other day. You just need to resist the temptation for a few minutes at the store. Once you’re at home, you have no option but to eat normal food, because unhealthy food simply isn’t available.

About 4 years ago, this video showed that a ML model can be used to cut costs on physics simulations. It’s about time we did that with weather too.

As a part of grid balancing, we are already doing that to some extent. For the most part, the idea is that you can increase or decrease the load if you see the frequency of the grid beginning to drift off target. These types of frequency containment reserves can usually react very quickly, which means that most industrial processes don’t qualify.

However, since the duck curve is fairly predictable, we could (and should) extend this idea to slower processes too, such as the ones you mentioned. I don’t know if that sort of power reserve is actually being implemented, but it certainly would make a lot of sense.

It’s just that most industries prefer to operate 24/7. Having your reverse osmosis, electorlysis, electrowinning, arc furnace etc. running only during sunny hours is nice for the employees but bad for business. The investors of such factories prefer to see profits sooner rather than later, and restricting operating hours isn’t helping.

Cheaper electricity would obviously result in lower operating expenses, so I can definitely see some potential in this idea. You would just need to find some environmentally minded investors. They would also need to tolerate the risk that comes with a fluctuating power supply, which could be a tall order.

If the fluctuations of the local energy market are dominated by solar power, that means more work during the day and none during the night. If there’s lots of wind in the mix too, that could mean lots of night shifts during windy seasons and none during others, which isn’t great for the employees.

Exactly. Grid energy storage doesn’t have to be light or small. It’s not going anywhere, and you can build such facilities in remote locations.

Who cares if it weighs as much as a factory and takes the same space. You could go with molten calcium, redox flow batteries or even wilder technologies.

Have you’ve ever felt bad for buying cheap electronics or plastic products, because they aren’t good for the environment or the people working at the factories? Well, this article gives you a digital version of the same feeling.

It is possible that new battery chemistries or compressed air storage may prove cheap enough to use for long term storage.

There are plenty of options to choose from, but only few are actually industrial grade at the moment. So many promising ones are still in pilot stage, and I’m really looking forward to seeing which ones actually prove to be viable.

Traditional lithium based batteries clearly aren’t it, but LFP looks ok though.

Cyber attacks and hybrid attacks have already occurred, and the risk of a full blown invasion increases. Should I be worried? Maybe I should ask Ukrainians how they’re handling these troubling times.

So, what’s on your mind these days? Talking about it might help.

How about investing in grid energy storage, to cope with intermittent production?

Currently it’s at 2:48, but I’m planning to double that by watching a bunch of videos before bedtime.

Are there other ways I could violate the recommendations?

Could also be NA.

Well, not quite personally though. Does it count that I’ve seen news articles about it?

I thought enjoying it was as common as being able to breathe air or drink water. Apparently not. Maybe there are lots of people like this, and we never knew.

Have you considered making an AMA? There are so many questions already brewing.

Sounds truly exceptional. Other people don’t consider it uncomfortable at all.

That seems like a fair way to fund game development. I wish more companies chose this path.

How about lootboxes, battle passes and other predatory tactics used in many modern games? Sure, you can have those elements for those people who like them, but if your entire game is all about psychological manipulation tools, you’ve gone too far. Maybe some people like to roll the dice every now and then, but that shouldn’t be the main point of the game. You should also be given an option to enjoy the game without being exposed to extreme levels of toxic design.

Nice. USB PPS sounds pretty sweet. I better look into that.
