These can wreak havoc on nearby radio systems, like Bluetooth and Wifi.

Yea, yellow jackets are bumbling annoyances around anything sweet.

Paper wasps are aggressive bastards who will sting just cause you were in their line of sight.

These are not AI data centers - two very different things.

A traditional data center is largely a data storage facility with service-hosting/data processing capability.

An AI data center is built with a focus on maximizing processing performance per sq ft.

Nearly all traditional data centers probably can’t even get a significant increase in power to upgrade to significant AI capability.

As I said elsewhere, there are roughly 3x as many McD’s as data centers, so for every 3 McD’s you pass means one DC.

DC’s are everywhere - the basement of a large office building, in the central core of a single-floor large building, etc.

I’ve worked for/with small companies that had DC’s rooms in their building, because they had sufficient power capability and cooling was trivial to reconfigure/upgrade.

When people use online backup services (e.g. CrashPlan, Backblaze, etc), or running their own web server/VPS, it’s in these kinds of generic data centers (though I’m sure CrashPlan and Backblaze have some very large DCs, the concept is the same - it’s largely about storage capability which is a very different power and cooling profile than AI).

10x fewer

Most data centers have nothing at all to do with AI.

Hell, most data centers would struggle to add AI to their environment - they likely lack the spare power and cooling to increase workload that much.

Most data centers are data-storage facilities, with some processing workload capability (as much as is needed for the systems they host for their clients). But really, that’s largely just traditional database processing, etc.

You’re probably within spitting distance of one.

There are nearly 3x as many McDonalds locations in the US than data centers. So for every third McD’s you know of, there’s likely a data center nearby.

I’m always astounded at what 19th century engineers could do with just mechanical stuff.

Technology Connections did a couple episodes on the ingeniously simple tech in a couple old cameras.

It’s because gentry had servants button women into their clothes.

Pretty sure since the 60’s

So is the backlash against minimalism or against anti-minimalism? 😁

(Just thought it funny that it could be read either way, if you choose to).

Read up on cortisone - related cartilage/tendon concerns.

Your doc probably overstates the risk a great deal. Check NLM for studies, it looks like there’s a risk, but all the studies are of patients with injury and on-going degeneration. By the time you get to injections you’ve exhausted other treatments.

Oh the irony.

I’ve always wondered who uses something like ADT (at home anyway, business is a different thing).

Oh, so this isn’t sarcasm?

Never heard of it.

Hahaha, that’s awesome

Sorry you interpret that as rage baiting trolling.

“Hurr surr stop wars” is juvenile crap, full stop.

As if no one has ever thought of this before.

Calling it art and acting like everyone should agree with that is nothing but Emperor’s New Clothes.

Stop wars

Hurr durr

Wow, that’s a new idea! Wish I’d thought of it!

(Yes, that’s sarcasm, and juvenile crap like this is why I think most art is garbage).

What’s “mongy”?

Hahahaha
