That is fucking hysterical.  Let me do a quick list of issues with that approach (without having access to the article):

- Cooling.  Yeah, space is cold, but it is also vacuum insulated.  The only way you lose heat is through radiation, so you would need massive heat sink panels and a cooling system that routed the heat from the servers to those heat syncs.  I'd love to see the calculation on a 1 GW data center, but I am guessing acres and acres of heat sinks.  

- Maintenance.  You'd need to have permanent staff to maintain the data center.  Ok, maybe that could reduced through robots, but sooner or later you are going to need a human to do something.  

-Energy.  Similar to the cooling issue, you need bring in energy.  Solar panels are the obvious solution, but a shit ton of solar panels.  (I think the solar panels would be smaller than the heat sinks, as you are exchanging heat with the sun.  (5000K to ~300K for energy incoming vs. ~300K to ~0K for energy discharge.) 

- Material transfers.  Computer parts wear out.  Constantly and with significant mass for a large data center.  You'd need to be launching computer parts regularly just to replace drives. 

 

 

Bro, chill. You don't get to grift trillions more by coming up with constraints... unless you're telling everyone you're raising trillions to overcome those constraints. 

iow, these problems are the solution.

Slacks gets it.

He may have the inside track on the CFO position in Brisketexan's Enterprise of Utterly Shameless Scams and Grifts and Fraud and Other Nefarious Shit, Inc.

When all is said and done, and this era of crime and grift has come to an end, and you and I sit together amongst the rubble, drinking homemade liquor from hollowed out gourds, I am convinced that our greatest regret will be "man.....why the fuck didn't we get in on that shit and get while the gettin' was good?"

My problem is I have an idea and I think "This is stupid. No one would fall for this". But they would...because they're stupid.

I presume the "20" is in reference to "billion."  And the answer is "absolutely yes."

I have a black turtleneck.  I will get on a stage with chairs with chrome arms.  We will have me interviewed by a really hot blonde, but she's tastefully dressed.  I will speak of our "vision" and "unstoppable, limitless future."   After that, my friend...it's all boats and ho's for Slacks and Brisket.  I'm thinking that Pescado will be our director of marketing.  And by that, I mean he'll be responsible for procuring the ho's that will be on our rented yacht as party favors for the PE types itching to send us their billions.

Once again, I’m the outlier. I’m working through a complex parcel shipping server and fulfillment system messaging issue, and the infrastructure team recommended a load balancer to throttle the traffic to the currently overwhelmed parcel system complete with SYN, ACK, PSH, FIN messages. I described what the infra team recommended for a Monday action plan meeting and asked claude to make some images. 10 minutes of prompts resulted in pretty good images to facilitate the proposed multi-phase solution discussion with non-technical leadership. Sorry snagit.

Haters gonna hate.

Every year, I think all the folks watching this drivel will suddenly wake up, as if from a deep slumber, and get hit with the realization they've been duped for all these years.  And every year, I am disappointed.

I'm going to start collections of photos of various politicians' family members (wives and mothers) and start generating lots and lots of AI porn using those photos.

Wouldn't take too much spreading that around before Congress gets interested.
