Mark Zuckerberg's Nuclear-Powered Data Center for AI Derailed by Bees
  • Why do people assume the tech companies are going to be running the plants? They are just paying a utility provider to run the plants and sell the energy to them at wholesale prices. They’re not handing out dosimetry to CS graduates and telling them to go wrench on the reactor like it’s a new social media app.

  • When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.

  • Why do so many car makers have subscription fees on the cars they sell?
  • Depends on what those subscriptions get you. Paying a subscription to use your seat heaters? Nothing but anti-consumer capitalistic greed.

    Having a subscription to stream music or live traffic updates to the car makes more sense. This means the car has to have a cell data connection and SIM card, which is an ongoing cost. It’s unreasonable to expect the manufacturer to eat the cost of a cell data plan for every car in perpetuity, so it makes sense to pass that cost on to the consumer.

  • Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes
  • I’m saying I’d just turn the PC into a headless server and get an Apple TV or something and plug it into the TV. The apps on a streaming box are going to be optimized for couch use, and then she can use the YouTube app with her algorithm if she wants.

    That’s essentially what I have, a Plex server in my office and Apple TVs on each of the TVs around the house. Whether you like Apple or not, their 4K box is powerful enough to decode any media I’ve thrown at it and it supports pretty much all codecs without issue. The remote control is nice as well, but you need an Apple account to set it up.

    How are you controlling Kodi from the couch? Do you have a remote control, or a mouse and keyboard or something? Having to use traditional PC controls in the living room is probably enough friction to turn most people away. You can have the best of both worlds if you get a “normie” streaming stick/box and connect it to your offline media server.

  • Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions
  • For anyone that thinks Microsoft is going to be in full control of the daily operations of this plant, you are sorely mistaken. The NRC has extremely strict regulations for all power plants, and I can promise you that Three Mile Island will be run to the same standards as any other nuclear power plant in the United States. TMI had design flaws that were heavily studied after the incident, and the findings from those investigations have influenced new legislation to prevent such accidents from happening again. The plant will be entirely overhauled to meet modern safety standards before coming back online, you can’t just chuck some uranium back into the core and flip a switch to turn it back on.

  • Garage is an open source S3-compatible object storage cluster designed for self hosting
    garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr Garage - An open-source distributed object storage service

    An open-source distributed storage service you can self-host to fullfill many needs.

    Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.
