Some thoughts listening – potential for regaining power from liquid coolers like a turbine? Energy savings like regenerative braking? Have it all boil in one place in the data center then sent back out to the cloud or supercomputer?
Another idea might be affordable housing with free heat above supercomputing elements – computers as not all heat out not all radiation protection out at least in whatever wall houses the computing?
Dual use, win wins, potential for questionable radio waves effect on biological life?
Gigawatts of use and power consumption turned up by AI – win wins are likely to be useful in the future.
10% increase in range is notable
Thoughts on heat pumps, piezoelectric to prevent solar panels from over heating.
Thermoelectric cooling – Wikipedia
We keep making games on Solar – also know electric motors keep being improved – giving dual benefits of better electricity generation and better power efficiency power output. All this turned up with the power of conventional simulations turned up by advances in AI?
Safety of systems facilitates trust, use, and sells.
Thoughts on potential issues for dense population areas.
The future might bring changes on what is considered as safe levels – kind of like what high voltage is dangerous.
Private companies funding nuclear reactors? Are we sure we are still turning up knowledge and comprehension of dangers in nuclear power in ideal ways? Moving society away from experience and practice with dangerous materials might not always lead to ideal ability to maintain in safe ways in the future.
Another event like 3-mile Island could turn up regulation and set back knowledge and comprehension.
I know some engineers that care about safety have been put on the street. I also know at least from the information that I have that we don’t ideally invest in infrastructure from a government level, add in a private element that might be useful one year and sold out by shareholders for profit another?
Add in World Wars, loss of trade and still dependence on debt?
Ideal investment to prevent another 3 Mile, another Chernobyl? U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
Iffy roads and bridges, but don’t worry Nuclear is more interesting?
Thoughts on value of gasoline and batteries in use in cars vs RTGs. Car crashes that require hazmat suits to clean up might not be ideal.
How long until we see gas stations with wind generators and solar panels on top to fast charge? Electric bikes, scooters, micro mobility, charging cell phones and computers – combination could be useful.
The longer one lives the more one sees what is fixed and what is not fixed over time.
Have we had any New Deal like investment since? New Deal – Wikipedia
Thoughts on how power and access to electricity factors into human rights. We put water fountains in parks yet don’t give easy access to electricity. Could be abused and misused. Truly more dangerous than letting people that might have health problems at any time drive around on roads?
Upward mobility might not always be valued as a human right. Yet with AI and increases in automation we might see more people on the streets – potentially compounded by financial problems of the day.
Good Samaritan as a non-requirement, as is being ideally turned up?
45,000+ before we have an unforeseen natural disaster or problems like a great recession or depression?
If you have $5 – are you more likely to buy a beer, wind up with a substance abuse problem? $5 is ideal capacity to buy a motel room? Homeless shelters put in situations that remind you where you are at and the odds you are constantly against is all pretty?
Add in requirements for valid ID for transportation and travel, changing your situation in ideal ways – combined by chicken before the egg problem – have to have document A to get document B, have to have document B to get document A? The situation is debilitating – and the reminder of oppression and leverage that companies and corporations and the government might see you as valuable until they don’t?
City planners ideally turn up public bathrooms, access to water and access to up? Or are we silently investing in removing Jenga pieces from each other’s life in society? Billions invested in transportation – yet homeless don’t ride for free, billions continue to be invested into systems that already have billions? The public pays and then pays again – valued until not valued.
45,000+ people seems like worth going to war over.
Might be time for capsule hotels
Potential for adding them to airports? Spend a month reading from a capsule hotel? Might turn up lower cost access to tech startups.
