We hear a lot about data centers, cooling systems, and how much water it takes to keep servers from overheating. Until finding this chart, I hadn't seen anything that spelled out how different data centers cool themselves. AI specialists, for example, are using different tech than hyperscalers.

After two weeks deep inside the Epstein files, I've come to view his operation as something close to an elder abuse scheme. Pitching old oligarchs on the collapse of the global order as a way to fund his sex trafficking operation. www.garbageday.email/p/a-singular...

in terms of footprint, Encanto is my answer. Runners up are Conclave, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle and Conclave.

nothing super unexpected to be concluded from Paul Thomas Anderson winning at DGA — it’s good for both PTA and OBAA and bad for their rival contenders — but it is worth considering that we’re almost at the end of the middlegame already awards.substack.com/p/numlock-aw...

Watch as a massive crack forms in the ice on Lake Erie. An impressive view captured by GOES-19 earlier on Sunday.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

did an interview with the brilliant @keezyyoung.bsky.social about their new books in Numlock www.numlock.com/p/numlock-su...

incredible that the history of modern anasthesia can be traced back to a 21 year old dude accidentally dicovering whippets and then having all his friends come over to do whippets and then writing up an extensive trip report

We've got a barnburner in the special Democratic primary for #NJ11, Mikie Sherrill's old seat. Progressive Analilia Mejia leads former Rep. Tom Malinowski 28.6% to 28.5%—a margin of 41 votes.

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

The subway is great for figuring out what apps and companies don't have east coast employees because only a bunch of west coasters would assume you're always going to have connectivity

Apple, no, the solution to a person sending a text on the subway is not DO YOU NEED TO TALK TO SPACE?

The New York Times not linking to anyone who’s been reporting this — and then pushing it — is quite annoying! Also, my story is much more detailed and actually explains things going on, in addition to linking to three other reports from other outlets. www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

listen as an editor it is a bit thrilling when you can have a headline for the prewrite that works with literally any possible outcome

I’ve run the numbers and come to the conclusions: - Mike Tyson was the key behind Netflix’s biggest sporting event. (Not a certain influencer). - The NFL is HUGE in America. - Linear + streaming > streaming only

lovely, sharp read on the tyranny of corporate pride and culinary rainbow bakes from @adriannramirez.bsky.social

Anyway you gotta hand it to Elon Musk. He loves Twitter so much he bought it three times!

the auto chapter headers in Apple Podcasts are my new most hated thing in AI. only someone who exclusively consumes podcasts of meandering dumbasses vamping about nothing for hours would design this product.

Watching Ryan write this piece directly in the CMS was a weird experience. I know he Does That but every edit and new graf made me nauseous. It’s a stellar piece and excellent reporting.

Would you rather own SpaceX + xAI or Berkshire Hathaway and $200M?

straight up melania was maybe the fourth most interesting thing at the box office at best. “Iron Lung” accomplished what youtubers have talked about doing for a decade. Sam Raimi won a weekend at the box office with a horror comedy. Charlie XCX’s mocumentary pulled $106,985 ***per screen***

for those keeping track, we're at "Long Island fireman polarized against Trump" levels of thermostatic popular opinion

Another scoop in my Nancy Mace profile: She has come to the conclusion that her vote on the Epstein discharge petition probably cost her the Trump endorsement for her gubernatorial primary in South Carolina, per a source close to the congresswoman. nymag.com/intelligence...

god damn Bone Temple was so sick. slept on 28YL the first time because I'm not really a zombie movie guy, huge mistake, these movies are something else.

For context: BATTLEFIELD EARTH, industry shorthand for irredeemable bomb, did $11.5 million in its opening weekend on a $44 million budget.

I think a $46 million opening for a $90 million movie is better than an $8 million opening for a $40 million movie, and yet
