I started paying attention to the power grid when I realized that the biggest constraint on AI isn’t compute, but electricity. The more I dug in, the less I understood, and the more I wanted to.
Then I saw that Leopold Aschenbrenner made $1.3B last week betting on Bloom Energy and its solid oxide fuel cells tech. Oracle signed a contract with Bloom to power their upcoming data centers.
It turns out that powering a new data center is a challenging game that combines both science and policy (and often politics). In this piece, I dive into a number of different ways to power data centers, some of which are scalable but logistically hard, others which are novel and promising but whether they are scalable or not is TBD.
That kinda defeats the purpose of why scheme was the language of choice in the first place! The goal was for us to fall in love with programming, not a programming language.
Assuming your users are also users of Slack, I highly recommend creating shared channels; that way, they can reach out to you in your slack, without leaving their own. Email is great, but there is something about IM that feels way better.
Also, if you are offering your product/service for free initially, I would say, "it's free, but in exchange you gotta give us 20 minutes on a call every week/every other week". This ends up being super valuable.
Love it! I have seen too many such checklists before position these tasks as all-or-nothing. Good to see something that inherently prioritizes some items over others.
This looks cool! Very timely. Every time I update our AWS settings (or provision new users/resources), I spend a decent amount of time just worrying whether I inadvertently opened up everything to the web.
Any plans to support running this as a cron job and diffing successive outputs?
We have been using Sunsama for quite some time. It's great to manage your to-do's or bite-sized tasks. I heartily recommend giving it a shot!
It's good to have something that forces you to plan your day every morning, so you only take on things that you can do. Being able to see what others are up to is also nice, but I don't use that functionality.
