    The quest for immortality (fueled by corpses of the poor) is a classic ruling class trope.

    I had to look it up because its been since 2005 in Canada, but wow you're right. I wish that madw me feel differently about the content of my comment, because that is one objectively good thing that happened after 2012, but the fact that it didnt happen until then and that its so recent still just feels really bad.

    A legit exception might occur with a strict energy-optimization objective, where the point would be transporting heat outside of an HVAC envelope as efficiently as possible. The cost of the additional thermal load is often ignored by hobbyists in their energy calculations but it can be significant. In the context of fixed-capacity solar, for example, it might be cheaper to pipe waste heat from a telco closet to a space that isn’t climate controlled, like a garage, than it would be to expand the solar installation for increased HVAC draw.

    I always loved reading Joel's stuff, clear & well thought out. It was especially exciting when they were building Stack Overflow, but that's kinda got buried now. Things come & things go...

    TD Cowen (which is basically the US arm of one of the largest Canadian investment banks) did an extensive report on the state of AI investment. What they found was that despite all their big claims about the future of AI, Microsoft were quietly allowing letters of intent for billions of dollars worth of new compute capacity to expire. Basically, scrapping future plans for expansion, but in a way that's not showy and doesn't require any kind of big announcement. The equivalent of promising to be at the party and then just not showing up. Not long after this reporting came out, it got confirmed by Microsoft, and not long after it came out that Amazon was doing the same thing. Ed Zitron has a really good write up on it; https://www.wheresyoured.at/power-cut/ Amazon isn't the big surprise, they've always been the most cautious of the big players on the whole AI thing. Microsoft on the other hand are very much trying to play things both ways. They know AI is fucked, which is why they're scaling back, but they've also invested a lot of money into their OpenAI partnership so now they have to justify that expenditure which means convincing investors that consumers absolutely love their AI products and are desparate for more. As always, follow the money. Stuff like the three mile island thing is mostly just applying for permits and so on at this point. Relatively small investments. As soon as it comes to big money hitting the table, they're pulling back. That's how you know how they really feel.
