Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

My question is always how the hell are you going to cool them. Do you know hard it is to move heat in a vacuum?

A radiator. Next question?
Show threadBeardededSquidwardMar 1
What’s going to be performing convection to dissipate heat from the radiator in a manner to support the heat generated by an AI data center?

What part of radiator don’t you understand?
Show threadathatetMar 1
What you don’t understand is the size requirements those radiators would need to have to cool an entire data center.
Show threadfallaciousBasisMar 1
It’s conserved.

Right. Exactly zero understanding on your part.

Zero effort shit post. Cool.

Do you ever make posts that demonstrate what your opinions are or what your own thoughts are or do you just like to talk about other people and put them down cuz it makes you feel better?

My opinion and thoughts: dunking on idiots online brings me joy.

So I guess the last one I suppose. If I just had to pick one.

They honestly come off as that sophomore in college that had a single class on something so are going around talking about it smugly. They complain about zero effort shit posts when they do the same thing.

You really don’t seem particularly bright. So I did the math, just to double check.

A 1 gigawatt datacenter radiating at 100C would need a square kilometer in radiator surface area to sufficiently reject/emit the heat.

But then you need energy. With solar panels you’d need 2-3 sq km to sustain 1 GW.

So… The math checks out. I don’t understand your arguments from ignorance.
