Definitely not true. Meta is building tents for GPU's
- trick-or-treat 7mo ago> Meta is building tents for GPU's And Starlink / xAI is going to shoot them into space. We are simultaneously living in the future and the past.
- hamburglar 7mo ago> And Starlink / xAI is going to shoot them into space. I highly doubt that. They claim they want to shoot them into space, but I don’t believe a word of it until I see it happen (and see it work). It’s no more real than hyperloop.
- mikkupikku 7mo agoDCs in space is hype but actually makes no rational sense when you figure the size of radiators you'll need, and while solar cells are more efficient in space, they aren't that much better.
- trick-or-treat 7mo agoWell, the sun is always up in space, so yeah they're at least 3x better from that alone.

- ericd 7mo agoThe Google paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19468 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19468) didn’t seem too concerned with radiator mass/size when I skimmed it, but maybe I just missed it. My understanding is that if you run the chips relatively hot (and maybe boost with heat pumps? But then you’re not quite as solid state, and maintenance is tough up there), the radiation ability increases enough such that you can make the radiators slightly smaller than the solar panels, and they’d sit on the dark side of the panels. Many people like to point to the ISS system and scale that up, but there’s a big difference between a system assembled in space and meant to keep humans at human temps vs mass manufactured on the ground and keeping things around 100C.
