day 1/45 of my summer lock in
i'm building a workspace where AI agents design real datacenters.
the drawing engine came first - every line computed using real math, deterministic, none AI in the geometry.
it can't hallucinate a wall in a real building.
this is what exists after one afternoon. 44 to go.
time spent total: ~6 hours
summer lock-in. 45 days. day 0/45
i'm 14
i'm building Geometral - AI agents that design real next-gen datacenters, with a deterministic engine that draws the actual engineering documents
it has already produced a real pre-FEED package for a real hyperscale datacenter in germany

shipped handshake(.)wtf this afternoon as the warmup (pinned on my profile, a fun open source project of mine)
~12h/day. build logs every single day. hold me to it
@sama the list being quoted at you was a set of falsifiable predictions, and most of them landed. answering that with optimism versus pessimism skips the part where someone wrote down what would have to happen and was right
@Polymarket the mission-versus-paycheck split gets thinner every hire past a few hundred. that's not a culture problem, it's what scaling headcount does, and pretending otherwise is how you end up screening for people who are good at sounding mission-aligned
@MarioNawfal a big chunk of that factory construction is fabs and datacenters. the buildout hundreds of counties are voting to block is the same one showing up in the manufacturing numbers being celebrated here
the most interesting part of this isn't residential batteries. it's the implication for data centers
everyone talks about an energy shortage, but the real constraint increasingly looks like power delivery, interconnection, and grid flexibility
a lot of proposed data centers are waiting years not because generation doesn't exist, but because the infrastructure to move and balance that power doesn't
if distributed storage can be deployed faster than new transmission, then millions of batteries effectively become a new layer of grid infrastructure
that could matter as much for the future of ai as the next gpu architecture
the next decade may not be won by whoever generates the most electrons
it may be won by whoever can route them, store them, and deliver them to data centers when and where they're needed!
@a16z 45,600 supermarkets to hit 18 GW, 550 datacenters to hit 17. same load from 1% of the sites, on land nobody was farming, paying commercial rates the whole grid benefits from
@CNBC doubling datacenter revenue and still selling off means the beat was already priced. the number that actually moves AMD is share taken from nvidia, and 50% growth in a market growing faster than that is losing ground
@PolymarketMoney the whole market hinges on what counts as "a data center." a few racks on a starmind bird resolves yes, a facility doing real training does not. 25% is pricing the definition, not the engineering

@wholemars a design built for vacuum has no convection to work with, so terrestrially you're keeping the conduction path and adding back cooling it never needed. the manufacturing volume is the real win here, not the thermals
@ABC an HBCU with an endowment problem building revenue on land it already owns is the most defensible version of this. worth asking, whether the people objecting have an alternative funding plan for fisk, because tuition alone hasn't been one for a decade...
@OrwellDay the first amendment theory is the weakest claim available here, zoning a warehouse isn't regulating expression. if they had a real vested-rights or takings case they'd be leading with that instead and i really am sure they already do
@ROOZVA spanberger took office in january and 371 of those are already open, built under youngkin. hard to be bought for something that happened before you were sworn in
day 18/45 of my summer lock in
i'm 14 and i'm building geometral - a platform where ai agents design datacenters.
what i did today:
- read all 96 pages of my first client's document corpus (a whitepaper, 3 decks, 2 official letters, a factsheet) and mapped every place they contradict each other
- sent 6 questions about the contradictions. got a 2-minute voice message back. transcribed it with whisper, applied every ruling within the hour
- removed a headline figure from the whole site because the answer was "that one's internal"
- a project page gained its first cleared real-world facts (in the client's exact wording)
- the expansion map got real countries instead of "regions under assessment"
- founders page went live: two portraits, one deliberate silhouette
- fact-checked 17 claims against primary sources. killed 4 numbers that were wrong in the client's own decks before they could reach the public site
- pulled a fresh orthophoto from the state geoportal, stitched two WMS tiles into exact 16:9 at native 20cm resolution and using it for the site
time spent total: 90+h
see you tomorrow guys!

@PJQualityGuru "pitchforks and overthrow the local government" from a sitting gubernatorial candidate is a strange line to say out loud, even as a joke. township officials get elected too, so this is arguing local democracy is illegitimate when it disagrees with him
@IdahoTribune "what a coincidence" is implying arson with zero evidence, that's a serious accusation to float on geography alone. what's the actual falsifiable claim here, cause of the fire or something in those emails?
@JBSDC "building abroad" undersells the actual exit, it's building in the next county over. loudoun says yes and cuts your tax rate, the county next door bans it, the datacenter doesn't skip america it just skips that ballot
@j_fishback "not regulate, not restrict, but stop" is the same thing said three ways, that's a ban with extra steps. what's the actual mechanism, zoning change or something enforceable?
@nbcwashington same virginia senate that commissioned JLARC to actually figure out water and power impacts, findings due december. the moratorium call is asking to stop before the study they ordered even reports back
banning something before a single proposal exists isn't caution, it's foreclosing the negotiation where a county actually gets water and power conditions written into the permit. loudoun got its tax cut by allowing them and setting terms, not by voting first and asking questions never
