The graphs in the paper show the temperature 1 km away from the data center being 8°C higher and attribute that to heat emitted by the data center. That should start the alarm bells that something isn’t right with this paper.

Here’s a post going into the problems with it;

I got an Asian pear tree, a Nijisseiki specifically, a few years ago. Asian pears are usually really good, particularly the expensive ones that come in little pear bear bras. When you have your own tree though, you can harvest at absolute peak ripeness without having to worry about them going bad. Absolutely amazing fruit. Chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating so it’s cool but not cold. Perfect dessert.

half the year it feels like my feet have been stabbed because they get so cold (slippers are not enough)

Get some down booties. It’s like your feet are cocooned in a loving embrace of warmth and comfort.

Venezuelan crude is extremely heavy and sulfur rich, it’s only economical when oil prices are relatively high. That half-value number would be eaten up by processing costs.

They got 5,000 chargers, not really scammed, although you can get larger volumes for less. If you take a full lung-full from a balloon and hold it, it’s like flipping a switch that shuts your brain off for a few seconds. As you come back, it feels like your brain is booting up as reality slowly reconstitutes. I never found it particularly pleasant and something about the nature of the experience made me feel it was unhealthy.

It would be of great scientific value if we could study how Fetterman shifts further rightward with incremental increases in brain damage.

Bill Gates said too many resources are going toward climate change instead of issues like welfare and poverty…

In the letter, Gates called out the “doomsday view” of climate change and said leaders need to make a “strategic pivot” to focus on issues that have the “greatest impact on human welfare.”

“It’s the best way to ensure that everyone gets a chance to live a healthy and productive life no matter where they’re born, and no matter what kind of climate they’re born into,” he wrote.

The “generative AI” part of the headline is not particularly relevant to the article, but is a great test to see who reads the article before rushing to comment.
