10 days agoThere might be a slew of still salvageable parts I would think. I guess the question is how salvageable, how complicated to recover, and how much those parts would be worth.

Would it cost more than $60 mil to recover it from the ocean?
Interesting article. I do wonder why a more of the data centers aren’t located in colder climates. I’ve read people are investigating piping/reusing the waste heat to warm homes and businesses in colder cities. There was one data center (not AI related) that was using their heat to warm an indoor pool.
The water usage they mention looks like it’s for cooling. I’m guessing they mean evaporative coolers? That would mean that the water wouldn’t have to be potable. Requiring the systems to use grey water might help. I also wonder if they could be located on the coastline and just use filtered seawater.
The other interesting point was about the amount of electricity at these places used to generate content. Some device manufacturers are moving towards on device AI. I’m guessing that would use a lot less electricity.
And then weren’t there some recent advances in AI models that didn’t require as much computing power? Maybe this will help dial back their electrical use.
It just seems like in the race to get ahead in AI, people are throwing money and processing power at the problem without worrying about the environmental consequences. Of course that’s usually the way it’s done, all in the name of making money. It’s good to see the industry being called out for it.
It’s a shame teachers are pressured to “curve grade” rather than just flunk these people and hold them back a grade.
It’s nonsense from a blogger who claims they know how to test for lead. I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless an independent lab confirms her findings. So far that hasn’t happened.
Please stop pushing this person’s blog. Her claims have not been independently verified. It’s shameful that the guardian has amplified this nonsense without scientific proof.
There are plenty of other wrongly imprisoned people down there that the senator could be given an access to. They’re not all dead yet I’m hoping.
Sodium ion backup batteries and other backup tech. This also helps to decentralize the grid if you place these batteries in neighborhoods.
There’s nothing green, cheap, or safe about nuclear power. We’ve had three meltdowns already and two of them have ruined their surrounding environments:

Mining for fuel ruins the water table:

Waste disposal, storage, and reprocessing are prohibitively expensive:

Turned out it was carrying a Bible. Upside down.

The Republican way.
What is that strange shirt he’s got on? Does it actually say something in Greek?
Coffee can be a pain to grow. As someone else mentioned, you have to have the right environment (rain, sunshine, soil, etc).
Adding to this is that it’s easier to grow other things that are in just as much demand. Vietnam has switched to growing durian fruit — less fussy and makes them just as much money.
These people are idiots voted in by idiots. Mike Judge must be a descendant of Nostradamus.

I’d rather have ranked choice voting. And get rid of the stupid electoral college.
There’s no hurricanes if there’s no NOAA. There’s no bird flu if there’s no CDC.
