For the last several months, weโve been working on the design of our @Starcloud_-3 distributed constellation of 200kW inference nodes in dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbit, providing many gigawatts of low-cost AI compute. It seems weโre not alone! ๐
In 2001, detectors in the Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory experienced a catastrophic chain-reaction implosion. It was later repaired and in 2006, refilled with ultra-pure water, seen here. https://t.co/WZv5UYBPc0
the great race for limitless energy and compute
China leads the clean-energy transition by a large margin, while US still leads frontier compute and chip design.
as power becomes the ultimate constraint on AI, China's energy and open-source edge is turning into a compute edge
At least 1,200 people died of heatstroke in France last Wednesday, mostly elderly people indoors.
Even crazier, about 70,000 Europeans die from the same every year, akin to a bi-weekly 9/11. Eurobros, please vote for leaders who will let you open your windows and install A/C!
AI data centre water usage accounts for 0.0055% of all human water usage.
To offset that, a human has to eat 1 less burger every 40 years or 1.5 slices of bread less a year.
You can have God in your pocket 24/7 or you can have 1.5 extra slices of bread per year.
Voxel collision in SuperSplat is a game changer. ๐ง
It turns any Gaussian splat into accurate 5 cm voxels, automatically. It's super-compressed and far more efficient than a mesh, yet solid enough to climb stairs and walk crossbeams.
