Doing my best impression here of the incomparable @matt-levine.bsky.social "...multi-billion-dollar data centers are in some sense a three-way trade involving the cost of the chips, the price they can be rented for, and the structure and cost of the financing." www.newcomer.co/p/ai-data-ce...

Good piece on an under-appreciated issue. My old news site, newwest.net, is gone along with its archives. I have a copy of the whole website (circa 2009 )on a thumbdrive but...anyone know how to extract an article database from thousands of nested folders 🙃 www.theverge.com/24321569/int...
