What a waste of money :( hope the kid doesn’t go into debt

Yea, similarly, I’ve heard people using fable for planning and then opus for execution. Makes sense to me. I also haven’t had to worry about cost for the most part since my company pays for it

I probably should but haven’t played around too much. Claude usually does a good enough job. I spend the majority of my time thinking about what needs to be built at a high level, and then it executes for the most part. I’m a bit of a laggard, if enough peers start telling me they are using something else that’s what usually forces me to switch. Just thinking back on my transition so far from manual->typing into ChatGPT->cursor->claude

Mostly use Claude. Switch to codex if Claude is down or I want something to review Claude’s code. Can’t tell a difference personally.

Looks like you’ve put in a lot of quality training! Excited to see how it expresses on race day

For sure! Hell of a run to pr during training

You’re a beast. I’m like I’m going to sit at my computer all day and go for a single run. Any goals for those activities? Or just enjoying and staying healthy?

I don’t think data centers give a shit about the local community. They give a shit about making money. However I think that there is so much money that both the company and local government can and do come to contractual agreements that are good for both parties. Win for the host, with for the ai company, win for the utility, win for the locals, win for the US. Simply make them build closed loop. Simply make them pay for upgrades to infra or increased electricity costs. For what it’s worth, and it’s just anecdotal, my friend says they only build out closed loop.
The solutions are easy but the problem is even with this things in place- people are still anti-data center. It’s so ingrained in people’s minds these days

My source is that I have friends that work in building out data centers and use my brain and read stuff. I said you guys should ask ai to get the public evidence of the contracts that are extremely favorable for local govs and utilities. There is plenty of stuff out there. I never said anything jobs. Just shit ton on money.

I honestly don’t know how variable the load is so I’ll look into that. Was thinking they were more stable

I agree in principle to a lot of thoughts. 1. I don’t like the idea of forcing people out of their homes. I think this is such a tiny fraction on what happens it’s not that relevant. The vast majority of sites are bought from local people who make so so much money from it. 2. There’s plenty of examples of the data centers paying the local government/utilities, just look them up ChatGPT. I agree that they should help the local area and not hurt. One of the biggest problems in the US is aging energy infrastructure and data centers can help solve it. 3. Definitely sympathic to rates going up as well. Think that should be in the contract as well if not. But also as bitcoiners we know that large predictable load lowers prices over time.

The problem i see is that people are flooded with anti-data center media. It’s the usual suspects of concerns, environment, cost, noise, eviction, billionaires. So it’s so easy to have your mind made up about it. Some of those things do have merit and should be addressed but I see everything being overblown and dramatized. While the benefits as critical infrastructure completely ignored
