Sorry if this is a stupid question, but shouldn’t something generating the heat of several atom bombs be utilized as a heat source for making energy, instead of energy used to cool it?

I haven’t read the article, and am not a thermo-engineer, but the problem is probably one of too low of a heat for too long. To make lower you generally have to boil water into superheated steam and then can use it to turn a turbine where it loses some heat and we can extract that difference as energy. The hottest parts of the chip are probably still cooler than the steam condensing on the output of a standard steam generator.
Oh burning more fuel, you having a laugh mare?
Seriously anyone who thinks more carbon in the atmosphere is going to help may as well be in the loony bin.
Also sorry as a Canadian this idiot got vaulted to the world stage. He’s a moron as far as I can tell.
I’m just nobody though,but who can understand impact of climate change and the harm we’re doing to our world. So piss off with that idea until it produces a way to run without impacting our environment. If somehow you can then hats off to ya, I’d say I’d eat my hat but I really don’t want to and I’m a man of my word.
Mean I’d like to say worse and don’t expect anything but if somehow it can be better than thank them all. If not, fuck off for the advertisement I’ve seen enough commercials.
“When I think about what’s going to lead to intergenerational prosperity in Utah, it is not a data center, it’s the beautify of our landscapes”
This is what’s going to kill us as a species. Because a data center doesn’t do anything. Nothing worth this horrific environmental damage.
At every turn, there’s another terrible consequence to wildlife, more pollution… when did we forget we are animals, too?
Wouldn’t it be great if someone could invent some kind of technology to distribute the compute so it wasn’t so terrifyingly concentrated /s
intergenerational prosperity
If I know my rich sociopath talk, this means “generations of MY descendants being old money rich and saluting the giant portrait of ME over their comically large fireplaces.”
Decades of protests and innovation to stop climate change
VS
one AI techbro
Poof! Progress gone, just like that
There’s actually need for this or they just want to fuck the environment to scam some investors?
Look at Elon musk’s gigashit, it’s a tenth of this size and because it was underused he was forced to rent it to the competition (anthropic) to pay the bills.
An “atom bomb” is not a standard unit of measurement. It’s less than helpful.
Americans will use anything but the metric system.
Pffft. An ‘atomb bomb’ as a unit of measurement is (roughly) equal to:
ff x (hdl/afps) x solh x ambWhere:
ff = football fields
hdl = hot dog
afps = average Floridian pants size
solh = Statues of Liberty
amb = average medical bill.Americans will do anything but use the metric system.
How many atom bombs less than helpful is it?
5
If you want a standard unit of measurement, I trust you can re-read the title and find “9GW” in there. That is a proper standard unit, but to most people a number so mindbogglingly huge makes no sense at all, so they added a comparison to something people are more likely to being able to even roughly conceptualize.
That 9gw is not the whole amount. the total thermal load is 16GW.
Which according to the pdf is equal to 40,000 Walmart supercenters if someone needs a non standard, American unit of measurement…
Thats enough power to send Doc and Marty on 14 and half trips through time.
Yes but at that level of energy no unit is useful for the average person to comprehend. I somewhat understand the usage here. If it was in joules very few people would be able comprehend.
The 9 GW are already there if anyone needs a proper value, but without anything to compare it to, 9GW means nothing to most people. Hence the comparison.
9 is not the total energy. The article says the total thermal load is 16. 9 for the electrical usage and another 7-8 in the form of cooling. It also says that’s the amount of 40,000 Walmart Supercenters…if you want another non standard American unit of measurement
that’s probably why they put an actual value in the title preceding it
Nuke bad. Propaganda
I just started having random shark tank clips appear on my YouTube and totally unsurprised this dude is pos, stank vibe since the very first episode.
absolute and utter piece of shit, killed somebody a few years ago drunk-driving his boat, then made his wife take the rap for him…
How much in terms of bear farts per cubic nautical mile is that?
Americans will just outsource this environmental costs to someone else and call it a day.
Carbon offset credits. You just buy them and then the CO2 goes away because someone else will plant a tree probably somewhere. /s
they’re rich, they’ll just buy themselves a new environment
I say we nuke it from orbit then.
I don’t know who Kevin is, so I looked at his Wikipedia page and I’m still none the wiser what he’s actually done to “earn” all that money. Looks like a serial grifter.
Wanker from Shark tank. Should have been named Wank Tank.
Only if we can strap him to the heat sinks. 🍽️
What are the chances the people of Utah work together to stop it and reverse it from being built?
Dont know how it is overall in Utah currently.
Would have to be a big problem to focus on by Salt Lake City people and neighboring states assisting
0.1%
Can’t be that low
ok, 5%.
Come on skipper we need more power than that!!! /s haha
I was just joking earlier though for previous comment. Hopefully there is a good chance over there but only time will tell
I’d hate to say it but that useless loser should stick to acting or boating.
That shit is definitely not happening. Peaking bubble.
