Did you know that Microsoft applied for a permit for a warehouse in southern Sweden - and once they had built the "warehouse" they declared they were going to host a datacenter there with diesel backup generators?
I mean, we hear this happening all the time and so let's hate on data centers, right?
The difference is that this is Sweden, and we don't accept that shit. They were not allowed to run their diesel generators, had to purchase battery power instead and in the end they closed the data center down since they couldn't win this fight.
That's how you deal with it.
(They are now using other datacenters in other locations in Sweden, fully compliant with the laws, with renewable energy and not using water for cooling as far as I can see)
Proposal for a law applicable to the construction and operation of #dataCenters : 1.The site should not endanger any protected species nor biodiversity. 2.It shall be autonomous in energy, without connection to the electrical grid. 3.The energy used must be renewable, with no harmful emissions or waste: neither gaz, nor heat, nor materials. Sound level on site unchanged. 4.Water supply is authorized once, upon commissionning. No additional water supply or consumption is allowed. ./.
Nothing to see here just the record for highest temperature ever recorded in Denmark being broken in multiple places at once. I'm sure climate change isn't real and we can just keep going...
"On that very same day, the European Union’s duplicity was laid bare. During a Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg, Europe effectively refused to take a unified stand on imposing trade sanctions on #Israel, despite its ongoing genocide in the #Gaza Strip and unchecked colonial violence and expansionist policies in the occupied #WestBank." #EUPol #Genocide

Soviel zur berühmten #Bandenergie der #Kernkraftwerke: Beide Reaktoren in #Beznau mussten abgestellt werden, weil die Aare zu warm ist.
#Solar und #Windenergie sind besser an die #Klimakatastrophe angepasst.
Since January, many people have asked my opinion on #AI and #LLM. Rather than repeating myself, I originally went to write a small article, which ultimately turned into a ~2800 words piece:
