Comment Because of technological advanmcement (Score 1) 165

It isn't about what China would find on the moon, but rather that the whole process would mean they are doing fundamental research and this would lead to advancement for them. Since the US is mostly doing "rent seeking" and much less advancement like that, this would lead to the US falling back in the tech compared to China. At least that's the theory, and why some on the US side are frightened by a tech China on the moon.

Glad Google is working on that instead of shoving more of this garbage into my phone. Ever since I got gemini I can no longer control my alarm or maps with my voice, it lies to me and says it adds stuff to my shopping list when it doesn't, and it forgot how to say "ninety" (it says ninnety which rhymes with inifinity).

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.

I'm sure that was the intent, but (I think) it actually parses the other way. It's messy, so I'm not sure, but that's how I read it.

Comment The issue is that it does not do hot air (Score 1) 120

Problem1 : You would need conduction (from each cpu/gpu in the server toward a radiator using cooling liquid for example) from the rack to a radiator.
Otherwise if you don't those 100kW would be dumped into very small surface of the GPU/CPU and small radiator they usually have.
At 300K blackbody radiance is ~450 W.m^-2 So you r calculation of the surface of the cylinder is OK, you would only need 222 m^2 to dissipate a blackbody at 300K of 100kW of heat. The problem is that the heat is not dumped into the cylinder directly, but would need to be conducted from the cpu/gpu radiator to the cylinder . And that's where the problem starts, as you would need almost certainly a liquid for the transport, and that brings a lot of issue itself (weight, pump failure, freezing/boiling etc...). And that's not even counting servicing & obsolescence.

IMO the feasability of this is near null zero enough to be disregarded as a tech bro stupid solution in wait of a problem.

much MUCH easier solution is to have the server on earth, in zone where you have a lot of renewable like solar, wind. easier to maintain , cool, and give energy.

I know it's really trivial, bordering on petty, but please oh please give her a different accent. She says "okay" so much, and the Valleygirl accent is never heard so pronounced as obviously as in that word that I really want any other accent. Mid Atlantic, Southern, Cascadian, Midwest, Irish, please anything other than Valleygirl.

Several minutes were spent on the new voices. So yes, you can.
