I was like, what is the code word here?

I’d rather he get a burial at sea.

They have no power over here.

Leave it a fucking hole in the ground.

Found a portal

So AI could do their job 10x better?

The crusades. But with nukes.

Jianzhong stated the contra-rotary compressor is the main innovation behind the system’s architecture. Because the high- and low-pressure rotors spin in opposite ways, the engine maintains relative speed and reduces absolute rotational speed, thus lowering centrifugal forces on blades and discs.

Well that’s interesting

Boeing and Lockheed Martin got into the space game thinking they could make some money, they’ve both pretty much given up. Space is a whole different level of expense.

I’m glad back a few years ago I planned my PC for Linux. AMD everything. It’s been a mostly smooth operation.

Putting on my ME hat. Power systems are designed to extract the most amount of energy of their fuel sources. This leads for waste heat to not be significantly above ambient temperatures as they have extracted about as much as they can from it.

I assume now many high end servers are now water cooled, so that probably improves their cooling performance of their system, vs the older ways of aisle cooling and having hot and cold sides of the rack.

But unlike power stations, I don’t think the data centers have incentives or the ability to extract much useful work from their waste heat, so I’m sure they are dumping it as fast as they can plus the waste heat from all the secondary systems, cooling, water pumps, etc. are just compounding the local air temps.

Sooo kill a few hard working people on boats instead?

We’ve spent nearly 100 years ignoring the problem and refusing to develop the alternative systems that would lower our reliance on oil. The modern society will never be able to move fully away from oil, there’s hardly a better solution for energy density.

But we could have still built the public rail systems to move people, built housing that was very energy efficient, designed our communities to be walkable, put solar panels on every rooftop etc. knowing that oil pollutants were a problem for the environment and a massive crutch that once broken, would collapse modern life.

Have you seen the movie Bugonia? I’m nearly convinced that CEO’s are all human looking aliens that are determined to destroy earth and enslave humans. #tinfoilhat #downtherabbithole

Pretty soon you’ll just have nuclear plants just to power data centers.

:shocked pikachu face:

I’m in a pretty purple state now, there isn’t a blue state that really interests me in moving too. Far too many of them have unreasonable taxes or bad weather or both. And they few outliers like Oregon and Washington are too expensive for me to attempt to move to.

Reasonably accurate. Most people don’t understand that the regions of Texas are pretty diverse, except maybe politically. The state has taken such a turn for religious monarchy in the past few years, I barely recognize the Texas of my youth. I miss the actual weirdness of Austin, the plucky Ann Richard’s type democrats, the lack of tech bros, the country feeling like the country instead of suburbs of the nearest city.

I lived in Texas for 30 years, I left 10 years ago and have no desire to go back. Apart from texmex klobasnek and a few other things, I don’t miss it at all.

This arm is only attached to me, I have no physical control of it and cannot be held responsible for it’s actions.
