Ok, i've got 40 hours to study for two exams and write a 3000 word academic paper. If I lock in I know I can do it. So I've just gotta find the catalyst to make me lock in.

There's a level of wealth above which you don't get happier, and there's a level of wealth above which you think physics no longer applies to you.

It is intensely funny to me that tech bro CEOs on an annual salary of 15 petabillion dollars think data centres can go in space because it's very cold but actually they would get obscenely hot because heat won't radiate into the vacuum of space

taranis.ie/datacenters-...
cold coolant returned to the loop. Typically the coolant is cooled via convective cooling to the air, so one way or another this is how things work on Earth. In space, there is no air. The environment is close enough to a hard, total vacuum as makes no practical difference, so convection just doesn't happen. On the space engineering side, we typically think about thermal management, not just cooling. Thing is, space doesn't really have a temperature as-such. Only materials have a temperature. It may come as a surprise, but in the Earth-Moon system the average temperature of pretty much anything is basically the same as the average temperature of Earth, because this is why Earth has that particular temperature. If a satellite is rotating, a bit like a chicken on a rotisserie, it will tend toward having a consistent temperature that's roughly similar to that of the Earth surface. If it isn't rotating, the side pointing away from the sun will tend to get progressively colder, with a limit due to the cosmic microwave background, around 4 Kelvin, just a little bit above absolute zero. On the sunward side, things can get a bit cooked, hitting hundreds of centigrade. Thermal management therefore requires very careful design, making sure that heat is carefully directed where it needs to go. Because there is no convection in a vacuum, this can only be achieved by conduction, or via some kind of heat pump. I've designed space hardware that has flown in space. In one particular case, I designed a camera system that needed to be very small and lightweight, whilst still providing science-grade imaging capabilities. Thermal management was front and centre in the design process – it had to be, because power is scarce in small spacecraft, and thermal management has to be achieved whilst keeping mass to a minimum. So no heat pumps or fancy stuff for me – I went in the other direction, designing the system to draw a maximum of about 1 watt at peak, dropping to around 10% of that wh… Cooling even a single H200 will be an absolute nightmare. Clearly a heatsink and fan won't do anything at all, but there is a liquid cooled H200 variant. Let's say this was used. This heat would need to be transferred to a radiator panel – this isn't like the radiator in your car, no convection, remember? – which needs to radiate heat into space. Let's assume that we can point this away from the sun. The Active Thermal Control System (ATCS) on the ISS is an example of such a thermal control system. This is a very complex system, using an ammonia cooling loop and a large thermal radiator panel system. It has a dissipation limit of 16kW, so roughly 16 H200 GPUs, a bit over the equivalent to a quarter of a ground-based rack. The thermal radiator panel system measures 13.6m x 3.12 m, i.e., roughly 42.5 square metres. If we use 200kW as a baseline and assume all of that power will be fed to GPUs, we'd need a system 12.5 times bigger, i.e., roughly 531 square metres, or about 2.6 times the size of the relevant solar array. This is now going to be a very large satellite, dwarfing the ISS in area, all for the equivalent of three standard server racks on Earth.

This was a very productive year for me. And the final stop was the trip to Harrogate for the #ThoughtBubble Festival. This was my very first rodeo outside of Poland, so I was pretty terrified (but also excited). I finally have a creator owned books that I am proud of, so I thought LET'S GO.

President Trump has lifted a US ban on exports to China of Nvidia's H200 chips. The H200 is more powerful than the H20, designed for export to China, but less powerful than the cutting-edge B200. Here's what to know about Nvidia's AI chips
A Guide to the Nvidia Chips at the Center of US-China AI Rivalry
As China races to catch up with the US in artificial intelligence technology, the state of relations between the countries can be gauged by looking at which of the chips made by Silicon Valley’s Nvidia Corp. can be shipped to Chinese customers.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).
