    Kevin O’Leary’s proposed 9GW "hyperscale" AI data center in Utah will consume double the state's entire electricity usage and generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day.

  • Ok, but that will still need to be handled otherwise it'll shake the building to it's knees.

  • Well... It's 9GW of waste heat. Same as the energy supply.

  • They're not being built, and you know they're not because of exactly these kind of figures. They'd need multiple additional power stations to feed them. The kinds of places that cost governments tens of billions.

    Then all that energy needs to go somewhere so you probably need to add 25% more to power a cooling system. Something that can dissipate that atom bomb of energy into the environment every hour.

    Without the support infrastructure the compute is useless, and nobody is talking about the infrastructure because it's impossible.

  • It's a good thing they don't realise that whilst gerrymandering might notionally give you more seats, it makes all of them more marginal and easier for the opposition to take.

  • The risk associated with being on a public forum has changed massively. Yes the data was always out there, but the ability to turn it into personally identifying information was not.

    People are still grappling with that change.

  • Scanning people's entire history for political leanings, etc? That's some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

    Yep. It's Cambridge Analytica and Palantir level shit.

  • Honestly, if an attacker has shell access you're toast regardless. I know you shouldn't be able to escalate privileges, but better to never let them on the machine.

    Most security in industry only holds because employees have no interest in attacking, or knowledge how to attack, their employer.

    So it's about 7.6 litres, which is huge.

  • It was very odd at my company. We were a Google Workspace company. Gmail, Meet, Drive, etc with our own servers for messaging, gitlab and some other things.

    Sure being Google based isn't great either, but generally people were fine with it. Then the C suite said we were moving to Microsoft. Lots and lots of complaining, asking for justification, but no reason was given (not even cost). Today people are still cursing teams 18months later. We're not in control of our own data (things get deleted every time somebody leaves, and permissions are generally a mess).

  • Yes it may have an effect on prices, but there are second order effects. One example is that it would also have an effect on a huge number of people's ability to pay those prices. A customer base that can afford goods will likely increase sales. Increasing sales can increase revenue.

    Markets are complex dynamic systems and often the key to getting a healthy economy is removing choke points where money doesn't flow. Not paying people enough kills demand. An economy with low demand is dying.
