I also plan on approaching infrastructure funds, climate funds, and similar. <br/><br/>And part of the assumption we&#39;ll always need more compute, is that we are generating more and more data, and need processing to handle it. And it needs locality, for speed of decisions. Even if its local inference for that onboard camera on a farm drone.<br/><br/>It&#39;s definitely a tough plan. But I think this preserves and strengthens local communities. 2026-07-11T04:31:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswu97cg5jenttxzpwllg0qg4zdhs3vutz8nrhfwfl39slylrvteeqzyz7v8hr49x2uyycyu4cc9dfldk2rcutxjuvcgfxa6py6aj8dchevvaweha8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxaz45mt49ukf7e0tr07w5rgckrpefmzdrp25en5mt04krf5x56hqev9ugp'>nevent1q…9ugp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I know the current hotness is AI. I&#39;m seeing something very different.<br/><br/>When you have local compute, with pingtimes less than 1ms, there&#39;s a lot of new avenues open up. Realtime drone telemetry becomes doable, for crops. Farm tractors use heavy amounts of data, and are also automated to boot. The automation needs done somewhere. I can rent *local* high compute. The big key is that hundreds of small data centers spread around is better than a few mega-campuses. And we will always need more computation.<br/><br/>I&#39;m also looking at services. For example with hundreds of these nodes, we can gracefully handle data services for national disasters anywhere they happen. They can offer entry points for municipal data telemetry and analysis. And the virtual power plant is also needing a platform to operate in.<br/><br/>The other tie-in is the VPP. When I start generating 10MW of power, my profit turns to power generation. I can use this to run the DC&#39;s for nearly free. And this bolsters the power grid little bits everywhere, which is one of the best strategies. 2026-07-11T02:33:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx65yaaaxzj509ad7hym4kdzmrcn7pmasjtj7nrtjzscyjme5hzsgzyz7v8hr49x2uyycyu4cc9dfldk2rcutxjuvcgfxa6py6aj8dchevvetch8p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswy8svxwvg28xf2rn39aew2r3w0spkf6kl62c5c5r0veh2umdm7rcx57a26'>nevent1q…7a26</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Whats funny is this isnt the first time Ive seen this phenomenon.

They&#39;d paralyze themselves with inaction until some external force gave them approval, and that was tarot. <br/><br/>Whether you believe or not is irrelevant. Not trying to proselytize.

Now, LLM companies and such basically grab everything they can. Its probably upwards of a few exabytes of data ingested. <br/><br/>Now, within that sea of information and references and links.... real humans have solved problems. The problems may be in their own domain with their own language. BUT a tool that can probabilisticly compare across all fields of knowledge can show orthogonal ways to advance. <br/><br/>Now, these LLMs are NOT making new knowledge. But they excel at connecting the bulk of humanity&#39;s writings. And many of the problems we have is of association and connection. <br/><br/>Your initial comment of &#34;quantum leap in energy production&#34; is interesting. The **idea** is that it&#39;s already solved, kinda. Probably on paper, and/or already ingested into LLMs. But nobody&#39;s put all the pieces together in that exact &#34;best way&#34;. BUT that LLM can potentially do it. <br/><br/>As an aside, I think both the techbros and the ai haters are both grossly wrong.

Slyly buy property, move in, destroy local area, increase electricity by a lot, drain aquifers, horrible noise and light pollution.<br/><br/>I&#39;m *instead* looking at a triad of the following:&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;5000-6000 sqft data center in smaller communities. Find industrial or decrepit land and respectfully develop. Heavy acoustic paneling. Geothermal cooling loop to eliminate almost all water use. Power completely offset by local solar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Virtual Power Plants. I pair with local (to the datacenter) farmers raising cows and/or sheep. I work WITH a few of them and install on their land raised solar panels and a battery room. They get &#39;discounted&#39; (read: free) green power, and a seat at the table to the local operations. Will also work with local incumbent power companies to pay for grid upgrades, so the public doesn&#39;t have to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;With local data centers and rented dark fiber allows building out a fiber ISP.

Even in 2021, I had a reply response of around 20:1 . Now, ive put in probably 200. I&#39;ve got nothing.

Tough post. #Fedihired <br/><br/>So I found that #DOGE is currently in the org I work at. Ive confirmed from 2 colleagues. They&#39;re going after contractors first, since we have mostly no protections.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been looking since Nov 6, but now things are getting down to the wire. <br/><br/>I&#39;m a senior cloud systems engineer.

Like.... #RadioShack .<br/><br/>They collected untold amount of #PII from people with &#34;name address phone#&#34; even for simple battery purchases. Did they do anything with it? Only internally.<br/><br/>Well, that is until #bankruptcy court. Radio Shack defended keeping the PII private because thats how it was given to them, in trust.<br/><br/>The bankruptcy court INSTEAD said that PII was worth X million, and was to be sold. End of discussion.<br/><br/>If a court refuses to acknowledge privacy rights, and informed consent, and instead goes &#34;well fuck that its works loads of money&#34;, well, yeahh.
