- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 4 days ago:
That video is very poor, for focusing on a red herring of trying to build a monolith 1gw datacenter in space. There is no plan for such. Instead a mesh of smaller (fits in 1 rocket) datacenters that each have their own solar/radiators auto deployed with the datacluster. Inference does not need fast networking between clusters as models fit in a single cluster easily.
It’s still completely uneconomic because even GPUs that survive 5 years, are worthless after 5 years. Plan is to trash the datacenters every 5 years including the solar and radiators.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 days ago:
Solar on deserts, or even Nebraska farmland, is far more profitable than corn for ethanol and produces far more energy. Even with 2-5 hours of sunlight/day, battery systems, would be 5x cheaper in Nebraska than space for 24/7/365 power production, with perhaps minor throtling in winter. A datacenter in the middle of a solar farm also eliminates noise complaints from cooling systems.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 days ago:
large radiators argument is extremely poor. Plan is a mesh of small datacenter modules. The inter nvl72 networking speed is irrelevant for inference/skynet. However, there is no hot semiconductor technology theory that competes with silicon for feature size/speed. There are much better designs than circulating fluid radiators, but all of them, add complexity and pump/nozzle failures. Supercritical compression (heat pump) systems is vastly more prone to failure, including in pipe/connection network. It also means thick, less deployable, radiators.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 days ago:
The core reason space datacenters are uneconomical, is the 5 year replacement cycle. Includes trashing the solar and radiators every 5 years even if they could last 30+ because datacenter modules need to auto-deploy their own power and radiators. Ocean deployments would be far better. Wind/solar/batteries doesn’t need frequent change. Just drop in a new module every 5 years, while taking out the old one, and rebuilding its insides.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 days ago:
It’s a good point that providing the security systems of nuclear power plants is cheaper and more job creating than space datacenters. You can also get more uppity when international adversaries nuke your datacenter on US soil as opposed to space.
But more money to a guy that recycles $100m+ into politicians every election cycle, provides decision maker influence to subsidize space skynet. Continuity of nazi/zionazi ideology may require being beyond any temporary loss of control over law.

- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 days ago:
There is zero economic reason. Most optimistic cost estimates are 5x more expensive than earth systems powered by solar and batteries. With near term optimism 10x more expensive.
The only reason is skynet that is immune for anyone in the US pulling the plug from skynet. Russia/China can already hit sattelites or terrestrial datacenters with missiles, and space ones are more vulnerable because Americans are more likely to cheer destruction of skynet assets used to oppress them.
The other factor is international law permits squatters rights to the most desirable orbits. 300 years from now, we may need power/data beemed to/from space. Privatizing it for oligarchy is a great long term investment if it is subsidized by US government.

take their money
absolutely essential. Oil, weapons, media, zionists destroy election integrity through treasonous fraud. They all collude and support each other to boot. When SCC says money is speach, money is fraud, treason, and oppression. Take it away from the traitorous oppressors.

Gulf Cooperation Council is essentially west side of Persian Gulf. It is very oil rich region, includes 2-3 very rich, countries with city infrastructure better developed than any US city. Dubai is epitomy of this with global financial/transport/tourism center, tallest sky scraper in world. War has caused a 30%-50% property value drop. Iran has been striking energy and US bases in these countries.
US wealth is far more dependent on GCC investment than Israel control. This war has ended, because GCC were threatening US. Terms includes not rebuilding destroyed US bases, and leaving the ones they still occupy.
- Comment on "In America, when you win war, you give the loser $300 billion dollar, its crazy I know!" 1 month ago:
GCC are the ones doing the investment. The US only loses the war when they stop investing their oil revenues in US. US protection of them has proved to be a liability, Democracy is a mere talking point every where in the world. Only CIA control matters. GCC stays safe from democratic ideals through CIA subservience. GCC needs guarantees that US won’t bomb their projects, or run colour revolutions in their countries. As it has always been, GCC needs protection from US/Israel, and only non-US aligned weapon systems are their solution.
GCC bailing out the US to get peace with Iran, and investment opportunities, means a stronger Iran can help protect them. The reason there is peace is purely GCC pushback against US. But the point where the US has lost the war, is only the point where they lose GCC devotion.
- Comment on Nice 1 month ago:
Israel is a specifically Jewish state with laws (rape specifically) that protect jews only. Citizenship freely available to all jews globally. Apartheid is, and always has been, structural. It’s a similar proposition to say Americans control America, based on American citizens having privleges. But that statement is also anti-semitic, because it denies Israel’s control.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
It’s not a useful metric because some companies have high margins (perfume, advertising, software) and some have low margins (grocery stores, space launches), and mandatory huge capital/cash reinvestment (AI, space launches). The reason to use a multiple to revenue is because of unprofitability. But all stock price is a function of profit and expected profit growth rate… usually.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
spaceX has negative earnings and cashflow. They are going by price to revenue ratio, including about half the revenue being inflated datacenter rental rates from Anthropic and Google (large SpaceX shareholder) that let them cancel at any time. 75 price to revenue ratio is much higher than previous record that was facebook IPO. Facebook was just a web site that serves ads. Less than $1/user in computing hardware. AI is $30 to $300 hardware costs per user… assuming there are a lot of users. The other absurdity in Spacex prospectus is a $26T enterprise AI total addressable market. Even if true, grok’s share going up has no basis in reality.

- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 2 months ago:
very hard graph to follow but “popular music” means highest rated radio pop station. Nothing alternative.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 2 months ago:
Don’t understand graph. is dark line what people think of songs released 11 years ago? WTH is graph before age 0? Oh ok, maybe. A song released when you were 40 is rated the same as one released 45-80 years earlier.
There is huge bias in “popular music” category. Can get very sick of old songs, or just stop listening to contemporary pop after a while. I’m surprised old people would still like pop songs of their youth, after being overplayed over the years.
- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 2 months ago:
Even if you like all 3 of the other things, it doesn’t mean you need it in gaming. It’s not as though porn thinks it needs to blend in other attention competitions. A lot of games have math overlap. Gambling is for conning people bad at math.
In summary, this all seems like bad directions.

salinity changes, not temperature
temperature melt driven salinity changes.
how much heat AMOC carries from the equator to northern europe, and also try to see how much air it’s heating in the atmosphere.
the physics experiment should include heat in oceans trapped below surface. The different heat flow from 35C Florida oceans in October vs what used to be 28C even at slower flow rate. How a 2 delta melt rate one season could reduce the melt rate next season, how Greenland melt into 10C water instead of 2C water would increase the southward flow rate that increases/maintains the north flow. Salinity normalizes within 3 months. Early summer melt will be low at low winter freeze rates, by theory increasing Carribean north flow, late summer south flow will be warmer.
Observations since 2016 data paper have been the opposite warming of Europe in winter.

- Comment on Aaaaaaaaaa 3 months ago:
Even if current weakens it won’t make Europe cold. Main effect will be extreme hot subtropical ocean and stronger hurricanes in Caribbean and south US. Those hotter sea levels will still distribute heat along the main current path. But Europe will get warmer because Atlantic gets warmer without current. Hot water spreads naturally, and hot air temperatures make water warmer. Continuous dropping of Artic ice levels, especially the winter maximums, means very long summer warming periods and very high fall arctic ocean temps, means steady ocean temperatures at UK level.
AMOC collapse theory is based on accelerated Artic melting. But what’s happening so far, last decade or so, is less freezing happening each year. At the time the theory was developed, global warming was led by Arctic region, warming 3-4x faster than rest of planet. Rest of planet has caught up without maintaining that ratio.

- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 3 months ago:
AIPAC, and Zionist supremacists pay the most for elections every cycle, and just demand that their clients say nice things about Israel, and mean things about its enemies. Relative to other US oligarchy, the bribes to cash back ratio is small in most years. Because all US media is controlled for Zionist supremacist goals, it is far easier for all politicians and oligarchy to go along with Zionist genocidal absolutism, then to be labelled an anti-semite extremist.
