How many batteries do you need to power-up a datacenter at night ?
- Filligree 1y agoNot that many, if you pair it with offshore wind, a large grid (which covers multiple time zones), and ideally nuclear. The conditions for that don’t exist everywhere, but we don’t need these datacentres everywhere. LLMs aren’t latency-sensitive.
- p_j_w 1y ago>if you pair it with offshore wind Unfortunately the current government of the US is entirely beholden to fossil fuel interests so they're actively hostile to offshore wind.
