We would have to re-arrange society to ease many of the stressors in life. I predict we'll be needing those drugs for a while.

Based on the cost of products from China vs the price of products made in China but sold by non-Chinese companies, I'd say the price well more than covers the cost of everything for practically any product where they also choose to display ads.

They just want more, more, always more.

It's also possible that Dolby is twisting logic into a pretzel in order to make this claim. It wouldn't be the first far-fetched theory of infringement to go through court.

The first thing I do on installing Linux is nuke NetworkManager and it's ilk.

There's no reason a smart TV MUST have an account with the manufacturer or seller unless they want to enshittify it.

You may want to have accounts with various streaming services or perhaps you just want it to stream video you have on a NAS.

On the other hand, take notice. There's a bunch of ideas being kicked around out there to subject ALL drivers to an automatic intoxication screening, even life-long non-drinkers. Might be worth looking at what could go wrong.

So let's not poison the sea life with mercury from coal and choke the birds on smog.

Nuclear could be a good option if we would actually reprocess the spent fuel.

That also explains the hairball of dependencies.

Back before systemD was even a consideration, I just wrote a wrapper script that waited until a dependency was ready, then started the dependent daemon.

Parallel start-up was a thing before systemD as well.

I wouldn't mind so much if systemD would stay in it's lane and just be an init system.

Which might actually improve the Win 11 experience.

Why do employers and bosses demanding return to office hate America so much?

even if i make very optimal assumptions, that's like 100 million dollars for just launching that 100 million dollars of cooling into space (but something closer to a billion is more likely, certainly if you also consider material/construction costs).
And then you still need to generate that MW, and get that into space, etc...

That's about the price i find for a 100MW data center on earth.

Noone is saying that it's impossible, but the cost difference between both is just insane!

That it's huge enough to radiate that energy away.
It receives about 300W/(m^2), and is able to radiate enough into space to be in an equilibrium at the current temperature.

A single nvidia h200 server requires about 10kW of power, so if we assume equal radiant cooling as earth to keep a similar temperature to earth, that's 300 square meter of just cooling radiators for just that (and somehow figure out how to prevent those radiators from heating up in the sun, so probably also 300 square meter of heat shield to shield them or so?.
Then of course you also need 10kW of solar panels that also heat up and need their cooling, and all that for just a single h200 server.

Sounds very economical and practical to shoot that into space.

But yeah, how about you stop acting all smug and start actually answering how it would work? Because a simple napking calculatiion shows this would be a space project larger than anything we've ever done before.

Our biggest space project so far, the ISS produces about 80 kW of power, so would be enough for 8 h200 servers.

But yeah, this is all very practical, and not just more hype bullshit.

So rather than multiple kilowats going through your AI server, you're gonna run on a fraction of that?
Basically all power used by your chip is the power you have to dissipate, which is already a challenge on earth where we can use air to get rid of the heat.
And the claim is not that it's possible, but more efficient in space.

And how would a huge radiator array be more efficient than just an earthly server with a heatsink & a fan like on earth?

Because the claim is not that it's possible in space, but that it's more efficient.
