I’m catching up on the news today and see that Nvidia forecasts $1T in GPU sales over the next 18 months. That is crazy. I don’t know how that works at any level.

Also on the nvidia news front, they are making a version of the gpu for orbital datacenters. Now I’ve been around for a long, long time and I’ve heard some pretty dumb ideas in that time, and I feel like orbital datacenters is at least in the top 10.

@jerry to be clear and unquivocal about this:

None of that works. At all. In any form. It's all straight up fabrication. They can't even design silicon that works right on Earth.

And $1T of "GPU sales" would be more than the GDP of Taiwan. It's more than the GDP of Switzerland.

@rootwyrm @jerry Fuck sake, heat dissipation in vacuum would make things hard enough. Yes, it can be done, but doing so at the scale of an entire datacenter in orbit would be fucking insane.

@rootwyrm @jerry I just don't see it working.
