Have these geniuses considered burying these massive structures and build the cooling stack on top to use that heat for some other use?

Or better yet: not even building these monstrosities?

It could. But I don’t use Chrome.

Give it back. It will be fine. And since we’re asking, make Stumble Upon return from the dead.

That is actually interesting to know. Makes a person wonder what is the demographic watching the videos and why.

You made me remember of a period around 2012 when, due to my country being under external financial supervision, most cities and town opted to disconnect street lights to save on the energy bill.

Turns out that anywhere between 35% and 60% of all street lights are superfluous, there was no increase in insecurity and close to nobody felt the need to supplement the light outside with their own.

In my own little town, nights became quieter. Foxes, owls and other night dwellers could be seen roaming.

People complained but when met with no other option adapted and adapted fast and well. Many street ligths, previously using sodium lamps, were changed to LED, allowing for many lamps to be removed.

I would personally like to have less lamps in the streets and those with lower intensity. It could be done. This isn’t London anymore.

What I understood then was that in person transactions could be done, as the local ledger of each user would authorize and record operations on and off the available balance and wait until network availability to syncronize with the global record.

Returning to the subject at hand: I can imagine very specialized “AI” being useful for scientifical research, where very knowledgeable people use it as a tool to facilitate processes but are nonetheless capable of reviewing whatever results it produces.

Not gigantic datacenters required for this but small, purpose made and perfected, locally run, even if on higher specifications hardware to do so, but machines built for a given task and purpose. The economic viability on it be damned; it’s a tool for research, it is not made to earn money.

What I understood then was that the local ledger of a given user of the coin would authorize and register the transactions done on/off the recorded balance and, when network available, would broadcast such transactions to the global ledger.

The global ledger was the total sum of transactions, not imperatively required to authorize transaction by transaction.

Wasn’t Nano predicated on those lines? I remember reading transactions could be done locally, even off-line, validated beetween the parts and only later added to the global ledger.

As I walked out of my house, I made a conscious effort to take a peek on a few cars parked by the sidewalk and although many had the central console LCD installed, all had buttons and knobs to ajust and turn on and off things.

I’m in Europe.

Now I’m going to be on the look for the full LCD central console.

Where is this? I am seeing a growing resurgence of buttons and knobs in recently built cars. And I have the impression of reading somewhere conventional controls are to be mandatory again because the screen based controls pose a distraction for driving.

Where was this? And I would like to read the terms and conditions for purchase. I risk there is either a clause there for this and/or an entry way to file a complaint.

This poses an active danger. We are visual creatures. It will cause distraction.
