“Elon's big idea, oh, we'll put data centers in space. Well, Google launched Project Suncatcher a couple of months ago and if you actually look at the specs they've released, a single TPU needs 0.8 of a square meter to cool it, so these massive data centers are not going to space. It's never going to happen… So we've got to get this sorted out on land and frankly nuclear looks like the best option.”

The panel was discussing how data centers get their power, after talk of noisy temporary gas turbines. Iain Thomson, who says he is researching an article on it, dismisses the idea of moving data centers to orbit, citing published cooling figures.
suburbs you know what i mean but but even
…the boonies so to speak like it's still there's still going to be people living around it that are you know and those are the people that are going to the town halls and like voting you know voting about the data centers right because they hear those stories and yeah yeah that's where it comes from
and this is all i mean i've been doing some research for an article on this at the moment and elon's big idea oh we'll put data centers in space well google launched project sun cancer uh catcher a couple of months ago and if you actually look at the specs they've released a single tpu needs 0.8 of a square meter to cool it so these massive data centers are not going to space it's never going to happen you'd have to build something about 20 times as large as the issue so we've got to get this sorted out on land and frankly nuclear looks like the best option i'm sure nobody is particularly happy about the idea of having a nuclear actor you know in their back garden but at the same time the technology is kind of proven you know it's like i mean alan you you know this i mean you've worked on a nuclear submarine the technology it's not okay i was nearly said it's not rocket science but you know you know what i mean it's it's an understood science
it's it's understood enough now granted i will give this schooling system an amazing amount of credit for what it's able to do but yeah the navy can take people out of high school and within a two-year window they know enough to go to a submarine or a ship and be a reactor operator yeah right so if…
question to you is how does an rbmk reactor explode oh
boy here we go
