Net-zero emission goals went out the window with AI.
In this world, we obey the law of thermodynamics. I’d love to know how this 3 bottles of water is “consumed”. Because more than likely, the water is simply being used for cooling, which doesn’t consume it at all, it just makes it warmer.
It consumes the resource of “purified, available water” which is consumed as it is no longer purified or unavailable (if evaporated). The same way nothing ever “consumes” energy, it just makes it unusable.
Huh. I run a LLM locally on my own machine. Not looking forward to my next water bill.
Have you checked your computer’s gallons per hour? I’m thinking of getting an electric myself.
It’s almost like these “services” are an unnecessary blight that benefit only those that profit financially from them.
How many bottles of water does generating a bottle of water consume? Checkmate water bottle and water bottle related statistical analysis enthusiasts.
We need municipal datacenters that can be integrated into the municipal water departments, and municipal electrical grid. Use the hot water to provide ‘on tap’ hot water for local businesses that need it.
Jup, way more of these kinds of solutions are needed. But data enters usually add stuff to the water to make it cool better and make it undrinkable. But the whole ordeal just shows water and power is too cheap for these kinds of uses.
Can anyone explain the conversion from “a bottle of water” to something like kWh?
Sorry for the delayed response, it took me a while to do the calculations but I finally figured it out:
It’s magic.
I hope this helps.
