After a few months, I’d get laid off and have to look for other data center work.

Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•US has struck 3 Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaignEnglish47·10 天前Now, when a terrorist attack occurs, he’s fully justified in declaring martial law.
It’s as good as over, folks. Checkmate.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Energy Does AI Use? The People Who Know Aren’t SayingEnglish51·12 天前Well, I work at an AI hyperscaler. I can tell you how much my facility uses, and how much each rack uses, but don’t have any way to determine what the customer is doing on that server. Or even which servers a given customer is using. Is it being used heavily for queries? How many? Of what kind? We don’t know. Only what the rack/row/pod/hall is consuming.
Also, does the network gear overhead count? How do you apportion that?
We have no visibility into the customer workload. Some of our customers use our systems for scientific research. Drugs, etc. How do you tally that?
I’m not saying that it is impossible, just that if the customer won’t pay for that report, we’re not going to spend money to build the systems to produce it.
Do I agree? No. But I’m just a grunt.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Energy Does AI Use? The People Who Know Aren’t SayingEnglish92·12 天前A problem is that the information is not in the hands of the company selling the AI. The actual hardware is often owned by service providers and independent data centers.

Ouch.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•US prepares for No Kings protests against TrumpEnglish7·18 天前Additional suggestions: face mask, gloves, sharpie, sunscreen. None are large or heavy.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•US prepares for No Kings protests against TrumpEnglish361·18 天前This one should be boring. We want to simply make a show of numbers. That we outnumber them. And the implied warning. We are looking to gain recruits from the apathetic center by denying the accusation of “wild socialists and anarchists”.
If this day’s protest is ignored, (or put down with violence), then the next time we burn it all down.
Agreed?
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English1·25 天前Red and green go well together. Perhaps a natural foresty color.

Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The ‘Man-Eater’ Screwworm Is Coming | After a decades-long campaign to beat the parasites down to Panama, they’re speeding back up north. - The AtlanticEnglish14·28 天前There was once a writing prompts story on reddit. The fifth horseman called Kyle. If anyone can, please repost it here. It was very good.
I vote for him.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.English11·1 个月前NVL72 will be enormously impactful on high end performance.
Xaphanos@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?English3·1 个月前So, a lot of our AI customers have no real use for LLM. It’s pharmaceutical and genetics companies looking for the treatments and cures for things like pancreatic cancer and Parkinson’s.
It is a big problem to paint all generative AI with the “stealing IP” brush.
It seems likely to me that an AI may be the only controller that can handle all of the rapidly changing parameters needed to maintain a safe fusion process. Yes it needs safeties. But it needs research, too.
I urge much more consideration of the specific uses of this new technology. I agree that IP theft is bad. Let’s target the bad parts carefully.
