Closed loop minus what evaporates.

Labor is cheap in the third world, the materials to make rooms to escape the heat without grid dependence aren't especially expensive. Insulation (EPS) is cheap and if mass produced you could make an air conditioning kit running off PV with an ice battery and heat recovery ventilator for 500 bucks with some profit margin included.

Air-conditioning in terribly insulated homes relying on the grid is a recipe for disaster in the developing world.

Or rather you just spray the hot water into the air, I forgot how they worked.

The radiators get awful big at MWs of power and only 25 or so degrees C relative to ambient. So you spray water on them and they work a lot better.

Some gasses work better than others for given temperatures in heat-pumps. CO2 is best suited to very high temperatures, like increasing the temp from say 50C coming from the GPU to say 90C.

It's sometimes used for domestic hot water heat pumps, mainly in Japan because they do love their baths and hotter water means it can use a smaller tank to fill the tub.

When it's hot outside, you could probably get the radiator temp difference to ambient around 2x higher with the heatpump at good COP. If radiator cooling requires too much radiator volume with normal liquid cooling, 2x is unlikely to make the difference.

Cooling towers with evaporation are used because of the far higher power density they allow.

Curating a store or package repository in general takes lots of effort, I don't think volunteers can hack it in today's environment. Snaps and flatpacks are the biggest target, but this could just as easily happen for distro packages. Only Apple makes that kind of money from the store itself to pay for it.

For Linux on the desktop to escape hobbyism you need complete ecosystems with large revenue streams. Like Google, but I think it's possible without it being quite so closed. Ideally Valve would buy Ubuntu and launch a Chromebook-like certification program for Steam phones, laptops and PCs.

There is no reason to get off Microsoft just to get off cloud though. They really want to sell you the cloud, but if you don't give them another choice they will sell you local, with all the modern bells and whistles except copilot (who cares).

See Azure local offline and 365 local.

Every department in my country only hires employees/contractors who couldn't implement anything without 365 and AWS.

Unless they start shooting people for using them, nothing will change.

AI god is the only one who will make the Malthusian problems go away, human technology and fucks to give have hit their limit.

Second? Make it an hour, give people time to eat lunch.

Just like Groq they have way higher bandwidth per FLOP than HBM can provide. Maybe NVIDIA and OpenAI know something about upcoming architectures we don't?

With stopping as a fail safe and remote controllers to get them going again, not an option on the highway.

(I don't care they can't directly control steering, they are still remote controllers and necessary.)

Almost enough of them to cause gridlock now during a power/cell outage.

The problem was they could only really deliver level 3 as a duckling follow mode behind vehicles at consistent below limit speeds. So in jams and behind trucks. The moment your lead left it immediately needed to go to ten seconds take over. So very limited use with frequent interruptions when it was usable. Proper level 3 which doesn't require a lead vehicle would be very useful.

Unfortunately even non castrated level 3 is AI hard and if we get true AI everything changes completely, worrying about integrating it with cars is silly.
