Then there should be consequences any day now, right?

Still it’s the state of the industry.

Australia? Isn’t that the other side of the world, where people live upside down and don’t even notice it?

Very true. A regulation that not only regards the interests of capitalists but also of the people and the environment living there could fix that.

Maybe you can adjust DNS settings?

The problems with data centers are not the data centers, it’s missing regulation about where and how to build data centers.

It’s a very American problem.

Would the promise require dems to actually do something about data centers?

When it’s daylight over the Pacific the workers are probably busy with ship things, when it’s daylight over Asia, they’ll be using Chinese data centers, there’s no wonder why American data center have vastly reduced load.

This doesn’t say anything about the request load during work hours.

Oh, they don’t work at night? Me neither. But during work time I need more compute anyway.

I believe this is less likely than a full on revolution. Even revoluzzers will try to organize via Instagram and switch on Netflix after a hot day.

It’s specifically this argument (straight fr the fossil lobby) that disallows progress. Nuclear is not going to happen anywhere close to time of demand where the neighbors can chime in, so not in democracies, but the staunch opposition against possible and sustainable alternatives will continue to burn fossil fuels.

And certainly not in cars.

But given the current replacement plan, this won’t be a good day either.

I don’t host LLMs myself. My best hardware has 16GB of RAM, I could run a 4B model or so, but what’s the point? So I buy compute with ZDR turned on.

Does it work?

Eh no, she’s a political opponent of Trump and also has the kind of skin color he specifically dislikes. That’s a much clearer reason than a children book alleging someone was 18 years old at some point in the past.

He’s so American that he will let the USA go into a civil war and give up global dominance through sheer incompetence. By his very Americannes he make the Russian agents wettest dreams come true.

The attempted coup in 2020 failed because only a handful had a plan, most just went along and had no idea what to do. This time they are a whole lot better organized. They already made it very clear that they’ll use state force to further their agenda. This is going to turn bloody.

There is no low that this administration is willing to underbid.

Thanks for sharing some experiences from on the ground. It’s certainly anecdotal but even then already a lot more nuanced than the general 2-bullet-point rage that drives public perception.
