The AI Boom Is Thirsty for Water — And Communities Are Paying the Price
What if the future of artificial intelligence depends on your town running out of water?
"A single older data center like Meta’s in Newton County can use 500,000 gallons of water per day — enough to supply thousands of households. Newer, even thirstier centers are seeking permits for millions of gallons daily. One permit in Georgia requested nine million gallons a day, equivalent of 30,000 homes."

US senator says Trump's 10-day deadline for Putin is too generous—Russia doesn't deserve more time.
"I agree that Vladimir Putin does not deserve additional time and we need to accelerate voting on the sanctions bill," Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal told Suspilne News, advocating for "sanctions to be 500%, not 100%."
⤵️
The bipartisan sanctions bill has backing from 81 senators and would impose 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, particularly China and India, far exceeding Trump's proposed 100% tariffs.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has ignored Trump's ultimatum and says Russia's military operation will continue.

The article says that airships aren't viable.
We already have weird-looking specialised cargo aircraft like the Airbus Beluga and Boeing Dreamlifter, both of which are used to carry large aircraft components like wings and fuselages.
As much as this reminds people of the Spruce Goose and other such projects, using off-the-shelf components makes this relatively likely to be viable if there's a big enough market to make it profitable.

AI setting up in the "the driest part of the country"
UK Anglian Water is opposing plans for an artificial intelligence data centre over water supply concerns.
The data centre would cover up to 435 acres (about 175 hectares) and be built by the A15 Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate in North Lincolnshire.
Concerns have been raised by the water firm over potential flooding risks and water sourcing, with the region described as "the driest part of the country".

in reply to PaulaToThePeople 😷 • • •This is awesome! Thank you so much for expanding on and playing with my ideas about spaced repetition flashcards! I love what you've done here.
I had to put my own box to the side bc my life got derailed suddenly, but I do look forward to learning Finnish, plants and permaculture techniques again soon (hopefully).
It'd be fascinating to see how learning stuff like juggling and drums goes over a longer period of time. I assume well 😄
PaulaToThePeople 😷
in reply to Aurin needs💸 • • •I only just restarted the box idea myself. I had an infection right after starting and since then I have post covid or whatever. I'm better already, but physical activity is almost completely out of the picture - even juggling. I hope I can start again soon.
I started with the emotion cards because I wanted to see how much I can use my brain again and I think with them I found pretty much exactly the level of activity that my brain can handle already.
When I'm better I'll probably start neuro-cognitive training to get my brain to function better again. I don't really know what that is yet, but maybe I can utilize the box for it somehow too.

in reply to PaulaToThePeople 😷 • • •> Yesterday I juggled in the pool
I'll have to remember that come summer. It reminds me of a friend, who could juggle 9 balls behind his back. He said he trained by standing waist-deep in a small river. Just upstream from a weir, which would catch any balls he dropped and couldn't pick up before they floated away : )
I've been thinking about using skateboard bowls for juggling practice too.
