I write, make, draw, play, game, and do handsome faces. I made Hive Time. Currently making Fossil Sweeper (a game about digging up fossils), Winter's Wake & Icicle (and a stack of side things).

My avatar is a stylised self portrait with short messy hair, set within a hexagonal shaped slice of cheese with holes in.

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

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?

Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

SpaceX Eyes 1 Million Satellites For Orbital Data Center Push

Not just thousands. In an FCC filing, the company mentions deploying up to a staggering 'one million satellites' in orbits ranging from 500 kilometers to 2,000km.

Either Hank or Techonology Connections had done a video some years back that would be a good addition here, which talked about how electricity is generation-agnostic, and switching everything to electric empowers us by eliminating dependencies of specific forms of generation, but I can't find it right now ;_;

Finally, @hankgreen talks today about how dumb coal fired power plants are from a business standpoint and how inherent inefficiencies in the technology mean coal fired power plants are going to end up a thing of the past one way or another

Next, Anton Petrov talks about research into and the first commercial application of supercritical CO2 generators (as opposed to steam generators, which is what coal/gas/nuclear/etc. use to turn energy into electricity), and their potential to revolutionise energy production

First up, @TechConnectify talks about how buying into alternative energy production such as solar and wind is investing money in infrastructure rather than pissing away money on consumable fuels, and how the former results in clear long term efficiency gains/reductions in resource extraction.

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

Over the past few days, I've had several videos pop up on my radar that cover shortcomings of conventional power production. None linger on environmental impacts, with all of them focusing on what's bad about #coal/#fossilfuel power and what can be better than current practices.

While I can't downplay how climate concerns, all three feel like they're likely to be accessible to people who don't care about that, and for better or worse, that's necessary for change.

Here's the timelapse of that one coming together (and some other cheeses I tried and abandoned along the way)

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "cheese." I made this cheese
