The 267% number is the rise from 2020-2025, so it already includes that.

I thought that might be what you were referring to. As far as I know the issues there were construction causing turbidity, and water used for construction accidentally going metered. Neither are really relevant to it being a datacenter. App

>In Florida a data center drew water in an unauthorized way and the surrounding community had issues with brown water and had to go into water rationing. Can you cite a source for this? I can't find it anywhere.

Searching for "267%", I think the source of this claim is a misinterpretation of Bloomberg's September article on datacenters: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-data-centers-elec... I that artic

It's a bit different than that analogy would suggest. Learning things piecemeal can leave strange gaps in one's knowledge, in my experience. A book is often much quicker.

That reminds me of this story, from developing for the Playstation: >In the main engineering room, there was a whoop and cry of success. >Our company financial controller and acting HR lady, Jen, came in to see what incredible things

This is probably part of their "weird stuff" marketing scheme. They pick strange items to draw people in: either an item that is truly inscrutable (though often appearing related to sex) or an item that doesn't seem like it w

I suspect this is confusion between the statistic that 40% of global shipping traffic is transportation of fossil fuels. https://qz.com/2113243/forty-percent-of-all-shipping-cargo-c...

The Wikipedia page for it is pretty good. Basically, there are a number of short-chain carbohydrates that tend to pass through the small intestine (where nutrients are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream) and reach the large intestin

Unfortunately, because the number of imports is restricted the cars will likely be about as expensive as the competition. Chinese car companies have no strong incentive to undercut the market when they can take a fat margin and still sell o

That reminds me of "Real Life Tron on an Apple IIgs". There's something so charming about system memory being misinterpreted. https://blog.danielwellman.com/2008/10/real-life-tron-on-an-...

No, unless the terminals being "stupid" is the issue.

Why do you want them to take your order if you have access to a terminal?

This shifted the race of trainees, but it doesn't seem to have changed the more important metric of how many people were actually hired. The author claims it had an effect, but as far as I can tell he's never quantified it. The re

HN has some peculiar medical fixations. It comes in waves. For a while there were a lot of submissions about intermittent fasting. 15 years ago people were excited about polyphasic sleep. 10 years ago it was all about modafinil. Enthusiasm

Can you change the title? It's far more inflammatory than the content, and people here are reacting solely to it.

People keep claiming this, but my experience is that it's pretty similar. My mom's PC accidentally had only 4GB of RAM for the past 5 years (whoops), and we only noticed it a month ago because the cheap SSD was finally dying due t

As I understand it, DDR5's on-die ECC is mostly a cost-saving measure. Rather than fab perfect DRAM that never flips a bit in normal operation (expensive, lower yield), you can fab imperfect DRAM that is expected to sometimes flip, but

As I understand it, the big challenge with brain electrodes is that because they are implanted in a big jiggly piece of jelly, they shift out of position and/or cause localized scarring. The practical effect is that the brain-electrode

Regarding Semantle, I found that Pimantle ( https://semantle.pimanrul.es/ ) is a much more satisfying implementation to actually play. It provides a 2D visualization of guesses, which lets you see the clusters and lines of si

Hmm, what's this one? var h = hash(guess); if (h==7182294905658010 || h==6344346315172974) { return "Adorable guess, but it's spelled “rosy”."; } I'm guessing they're hashes for "<something>

Are you sure your browser isn't unloading tabs to save memory? I think Chrome enabled automatic unloading a while ago, and it's been standard on mobile browsers for ages.
