there were 23 and 24 records set. 25 was 3rd warmest year. Every year since 2015 is in the top all time list. I get the point that el nino will break record this or next year. But progression has bigger consequences than this headline.

Very difficult project to track data for. Major difficulty is that capex budgets are like share buyback budgets. Implementation speed subject to change. It’s hard to measure revenue/profitability because AI credits tend to be bonus perks for enterprise customers, and in Meta’s case they use it for better brainwashing/ad revenue.
The best way to measure Bubbliciousness is trends in spot GPU rentals. Nvidia has been selling more datacenter GPUs than datacenters completion for over 1 year. Those GPUs filter down to tier 2 providers because they cost $1.30 to $2.70 per hour to just sit in a warehouse. Anthropic’s deal to replace grok at Colossus 1 has significantly reduced tier 2 provider usage, and those spot rates have collapsed below their runcosts. https://lemmy.ca/comment/23443450


I’d love for these politicians to explain to me how age verification of Linux web servers should work for auto-scaling environments where instances are spun up and terminated automatically based on traffic volume.
Come on, can’t be that tedious. What could it be 200-300 instances tops per day? My kid sister does that many selfies.


They need access to your phone to sideload their spyware?


Even if you like all 3 of the other things, it doesn’t mean you need it in gaming. It’s not as though porn thinks it needs to blend in other attention competitions. A lot of games have math overlap. Gambling is for conning people bad at math.
In summary, this all seems like bad directions.

written from the perspective of
China should help US reopen SoH if not force US hegemony on Iran
China is not going to interrupt the US from sinking into its own quagmire. A rationed shipping schedule from SoH means China’s permission for everyone else to get crumbs, and China has massive other energy sources. When media/politicians pretend that China needs SoH open, they just need the US blockade to be removed.
China failing to sink US navy or destroy Israel air bases is what keeps SoH closed. GCC still projecting that US alliance helps instead of harms their security and not pivoting to their customer(s) needs is what keeps SoH closed. Strategic patience by China is the SoH problem instead of accelerating US collapse/defeat/loss of colonies.
Very easy actions China could do is provide Iran with reparations while getting US tariff relief to allow US-Iran peace without direct US concessions. Opening SoH or buying uranium are all simple financial transactions. Iranian patience is also why SoH stays closed. GCC desalination hits would lead to quick regime/attitude change.


1.15 PUE is considered normal for water cooled datacenters. 1.5 is for air cooling. It might be more tightly packed, or conservative to not very deep water temperatures.
It’s a major political issue. While “everything Israel ever wants should be US priority” has solid US consensus, “Skynet for US oligarchist privatized profits to ensure compliance with Zionist supremacism, and not just subjugation of Americans through oligarchist driven unemployment but subjugation to supporting skynet” or China wins is about even with political establishment support for Israel supremacy.
Government operations buying AI services is integral to “need to beat China”, and “evil operations”, and circular financing back to politicians meant to maximize this, is by design.


also questioned Altman about a $10 billion computing deal with Cerebras, in which Altman holds a stake worth $3.2 million.
It’s a $20B deal. Covering just first 3 years of full datacenter lease. It’s a bit strange of a deal where 3 year lease payments are higher than cost of datacenter, and an Nvidia alternative would have better economics, even if Cerebras can do some things well. Altman with a personal stake, can explain OpenAI’s generosity in the deal.


Bitlocker was developed entirely inside MSFT. Upon further review, there is a chance that this is all somewhat normal behaviour. Part of MSFT safeOS to make it convenient to recover bitlocker access, and update windows.


does bitlocker encrypt whole volume, or userdata folders? It’s a performance issue to encrypt anything that doesn’t need to be.


100% certainty of backdoor. Is bitlocker developed outside of MSFT? Would seem to need MSFT cooperation to implement.


Does not make sense for alleged cargo. Just wait till summer and use arctic route, or use a train.


9gw if run 24/7 (capacity utilization is actually low on average in US) is 551.88 twh/year. 1500x. Natural gas is not that much cleaner than coal from co2/ghg warming perspective.


I would have considered this over a mini pc. Most ergonomic setup is keyboard and mouse in a drawer. Fairly small USB monitors that are placed at edge of desk is a field of view similar to 30+" at end of desk, and even closer than a laptop monitor. These are also fairly portable, lighter than a smaller tablet. Mini PCs have much more ports including 4 monitor support, that this may not have.


its 9gw of consumption. 19gw of total heat generation.


17gw of heat is both under and over estimate.
3,600 of those industrial-scale generators to power Stratos
Caterpillar 2.5mw generators have maximum efficiency of 45%, and so 19gw is peak thermal power. that is roughly 26 hiroshimas per day.
It’s an over estimate because datacenter cpu/gpu capacity utilization is on average under 10%. It could still produce all that power for export to trap all that heat in a valley.
top 11 hottest are 11 years since 2015. Top 3 are last 3.
