but also the thermodynamic principles involved here are pretty simple; most computers don't like being run at much more than 100C, and at that temp you're looking at ~1000m^2 / MW with perfect radiators. given all the headlines about GW datacenters I struggle to see how space could compete

unless I'm missing some big developments in radiative cooling tech, there's a pretty sizeable gap between cooling some electronics and cooling a datacenter

a single AI server rack consumes something like 50kW, which is ~the same amount of power as the ISS can radiate with a setup this big:

I feel like you can do more interesting things with physical releases without just becoming mindless consumerism

the 10th percentile wage was 16/hr in 2024. Given that, I find it pretty hard to believe that the 6th percentile was somehow below 10.22, unless you have some data suggesting so that you'd like to share to the class

except in 1998 the proportion of workers *actually making the minimum wage* was 6 times higher than it is today

if the American people get off of putting a fascist in power with just a depression it will be light. worth remembering what happened to civilians last time we undertook the process of uninstalling fascist regimes from global superpowers

one of the big successes here in Boston in reducing crime has been summer jobs programs. wonder if a similar principle could work for keeping kids from being radicalized
