Comment on NVIDIA's H100 GPU Takes Data Centers to Space

By harnessing low-cost, nonstop solar energy and avoiding land use and fossil fuels

  1. “low-cost” - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost

  2. “nonstop solar energy” Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW…

  3. “avoiding land use” - We have a fuckload of land. Datacenter land use is removing a bucket of water from the ocean.

  4. “fossil fuels” - I have bad news about how you get things to space…
