Alors ça, ça pue.
Pénurie en vue d'huiles de synthèse pour moteurs de voitures à cause de la situation dans le Golfe : déjà les 0w8 et 0w16 manquent, Toyota va apparemment autoriser temporairement la 0w20 sur ses modèles, mais elle risque d'être en pénurie aussi...
This is such a great example of theory vs practice. In theory, UUIDv4 collisions don't happen (generating one million per second, probability of seeing one collision in a year is ~10^-8).
But they have been observed to happen in practice, especially in distributed systems. Why?
Two Israeli firms have developed tech to locate and even ID users of @Starlink , Elon Musk's satellite internet service, a @haaretzcom investigation found.
This is done thru processing of commercial and adtech data sources.

@MilksandMatcha I'm building a multi agent orchestrator to make learning fun and personalised for high school students. After analysing gaps it spins subagents to create explanations and adaptive exercices and quizz. Experiencing this without lags with cerebra would be a game changer !
Blue Origin New Glenn NG-3 – Updated Advisory (April 19, 2026)
Blue Origin has completed the hot fire test, which they have declared successful. Following the test, the vehicle was deliberately lowered from the launch mount and then returned to vertical. Lowering and re-erecting a fully stacked heavy-lift rocket is not a routine step in final countdown preparations. This sequence requires significant ground crew coordination, structural handling equipment, and repeated verification of interfaces, umbilicals, and alignment. It also resets key parts of the countdown clock and increases exposure to procedural or hardware-related holds. They are now back in the countdown for the shortened launch window of 6:45 AM – 8:45 AM EDT on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
The 45th Weather Squadron forecast indicates favorable conditions for the primary window, with only a 10% probability of violating weather constraints (mainly cumulus cloud or thick cloud layer rules). While this supports proceeding from a meteorological standpoint, it does not address the elevated operational risks associated with the timing or the non-routine vehicle lowering and re-erection sequence after the hot fire.
Current Assessment
This overall sequence — successful hot fire declaration, lowering the rocket, returning it to vertical, and re-entering the countdown — places the attempt firmly within the highest-risk portion of the day. The shortened window means the launch will occur entirely during the period where signatures for sudden pressure-related anomalies, asymmetric booster stress, telemetry/commanding issues, and potential catastrophic outcomes are strongest.
The hot fire test being declared successful does not eliminate the underlying risks for this timing. The reused booster (GS1-SN002) remains subject to hidden internal degradation that can surface under maximum dynamic pressure (Max-Q), during boostback burn, or landing on the drone ship Jacklyn. The BlueBird Block 2 payload also carries elevated risk of deployment or early power-generation issues once separated.
Detailed Anomaly Possibilities
The following categories of anomalies are most likely to appear, based on the signatures and the launch sequence:
1. Environmental / External Stressors Strong surface or upper-level winds at Cape Canaveral causing control or structural stress concerns during liftoff. Cumulus cloud development or thick cloud layers violating launch commit criteria. Lightning risk or electrified clouds forcing a weather hold. Space weather or solar activity potentially impacting BlueBird satellite electronics or communications. Precipitation or visibility issues at the pad or downrange recovery area for the drone ship Jacklyn.
2. Scheduling / Buffer Erosion Narrow launch window (~2 hours) where any early hold during terminal count quickly consumes the entire attempt. Range safety or airspace conflicts (e.g., vessel in the keep-out zone). Ground support equipment (GSE) readiness delays involving fueling systems, umbilicals, or pad infrastructure — particularly critical after the recent hot fire test, vehicle lowering, and return to vertical.
3. Human / Procedural Holds Last-minute safety or team-related hold requiring additional verification, especially around reuse-specific procedures. Extra regulatory or paperwork requirements triggered by any deviation from the nominal countdown. Payload-specific accommodations, such as final BlueBird satellite health checks, communication links, or solar/phased-array readiness taking longer than planned.
4. Procedural / Bureaucratic Cascades Additional data review or go/no-go polls needed after a minor hold (e.g., re-arming systems or confirming sensor calibrations post-hot fire and after the lowering/raising sequence). Range clearance delays that push the attempt beyond the available window. Post-hot-fire or post-static-fire data analysis revealing items needing further troubleshooting before committing to terminal count.

@iamsupersocks un peu découragé a vrai dire, la mécanique Alexa est lourde, mais ca marchait, et y'a la logique qu'alexandrin veut pas qu'on aie du contenu trop dynamique, donc obligé de rester en application privée.
@iamsupersocks j'avais regardé récemment c'est bien cloisonné faut passer par un compte développeur Alexa.. bon on peut la faire parler mais c'est lent au final.
