AI Energy Suck
The AI industry's demand for electricity has outstripped the power industry's capacity to deliver. Bloomberg says two data centers sit idle, waiting for more power to come online. To meet their growing need for power, AI companies are taking power generation into their own hands. One data center in Texas is bolting old jet engines to racks and spinning them up to generate additional power. Google announced that they are blasting racks of AI chips into space to harness solar energy from satellites with a project they are calling Suncatcher…

Mamdani’s Victory Speech – annotated
Inspired by Anil's hope for an "easter egg breakdown" of the mayor-elect's victory speech, I spent some time digging in. I know there's more that I've missed, add your own in the comments below. The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said: “I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.” For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands.

This administration has a real problem with the truth. It lies constantly, and then also tries to hide anything truthful that damages its narrative or debunks its lies.

Freedom Plaza Updates
At 1pm today, there is a kick-off meeting (page has a YouTube link to view remotely) to discuss the mandated public information sessions and other aspects of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC). The six member of the CAC will ultimately recommend the project to the New York Gaming Facility Location Board and help determine which three (out of eight) applicants ultimately receive a casino license. If you have any interest in this project, I would encourage you to learn more by viewing the livestream. Work will keep me from watching but I would love to hear what you think.

Cloudflare sees about 20% of the world's internet traffic cross its network. Matthew Prince, CloudFlare's CEO, has a pretty good handle on trending internet behavior.

What he concludes is that the exchange that allowed the search engines to index a site in return for referred pageviews is no longer equitable and is growing increasingly lopsided. …

What I Learned at #nytechweek
Last week NYC erupted with over 1,000 small pop-up events across the city, loosely curated by the NY Tech Week team on this calendar. I would describe this as a decentralized SXSW where the events are hosted without much central control which results in an explosion of activity and an opportunity for participants to expose themselves to a wide range of ideas while visiting workspaces all across the city. The events begin to come together in the months leading up to the annual event. Most of them are invite-only so you need to sign up in advance.

My favorite part of the NYC Democratic Mayoral Debate. Where to get the best slice.

The $20B Edit
MediaPost delves into the specifics of what caused the Trump administration to accuse 60 Minutes of manipulating a quote and commit election fraud. Face the Nation used the first half of Kamala Harris' response to a question while 60 Minutes used the second half. Was this really cause for a $20 billion lawsuit that ultimately resulted in the resignation the 37-year veteran Executive Producer of 60 Minutes, Bill Evans? You can read Adam Buckman's details below, The question posed by “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker in that part of the transcript was a follow-up question to a previous question-and-answer about the relationship between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
