Or perhaps a bunch of less efficient small data centers.
- graeme 6y agoHow would that help? Reducing the number of data centers doesn’t reduce the demand for them.
- drchickensalad 6y agoEfficiency of scale is very real for datacenters
- graeme 6y agoWhoops I wrote this backwards. I meant to write reducing the size of datacenters. The proposal I replied to would probably increase data center energy usage on balance.
- sargun 6y agoA lot of technologies only work “at scale”. Some things can be scaled down, but I don’t think that’s trivial.
