Jeff Bexod is planning to invest 10 billion into space based data centers


Do you see a future here?
>>
no cooling requirements + free power + no flooding/hurricane/whatever danger, sounds good for things that don't require low latency
>>
>>106844304
Space is a horrible location for datacenters. Where do you put all of the heat?
>>
how do you protect it from debris???
>>
>>106844312
The void nigga.

Retard
>>
could you power a data centre totally off solar in space? how big would the panels need to be?
>>
>>106844326
You could power it, yes. Dealing with the heat would be the difficult part. You would need absolutely massive radiators.
>>
>>106844304
nice
elon musk is gonna have us on mars in the year 2025
bezo is going to have a space data center in the next 10+ years
india will be a superpower in 2020
trump will release the epstein file
jews will honor an agreement

what are some other things to look forward to?
>>
>>106844323
strap on a heatsink

>>106844312
not on our precious overheating earth, that's what
>>
>>106844343
Retard
>>
>>106844312
focus the heat energy into lasers and fire it at pluto to cool it down
>>
>hardware fails
what is bezos move then?
>>
>>106844311
>no cooling requirements
u wot
>>
>>106844311
radiation, maitenance and upgrades tho
>>
So how will it work? Like the floating space stations? Does that mean they'll need astronauts to become techies?
What if it's like a giant elevator? What happens when the elevator eventually gets hit by something and falls down? What about the station itself? Won't it just get hit by some random shit down the line? What about radiation? How fast will the center be able to get data to and from? What if it's just like a floating box with cold storage lol.
>>
>>106844373
right now america is collapsing and is finished. they're just making wild and empty promises because they know the wheels are coming off and they just want to loot a bit more before it's over.

they can't even get power to data centers in america and they're going to put them in space? how does that make sense? you can't even get it here on earth and you're gonna put them in space where it costs a hundred million to replace shit?

feel sorry for the engineer who gets stuck with that job

you can browse a website from the other side of the planet right now
chances are it will be faster

more like space cringe

Holy retard
Why is it that the most technically incompetent on this site go to /g/?
>>
>>106844312
build it on the cool side of mercury
put the solar panels on the hot side of mercury
>>
>>106844356
>Retard
if jeff benzo says he will build space data center, then people smarter than YOU have already figured the logistics of dissipating the heat into the void, the only retard here is you for questioning the efforts of engineers and scientists backed by a $2.4 trilliong market cap hyper corporation
>>
these retards would rather talk shit about building datacenters in space than just build them in colder climates

No
How large will the radiating elements have to be to eliminate the heat of an entire data center? I imagine rather large.
It would be better to use microwave to beam the energy to the surface.
>>
>>106844451
because there's already really awesome really cold places here on earth
>>
>>106844464
but earth is gay and space is cool

Kilometers thick reinforced concrete sphere around the data center.

or underwater
just a little offshore where the water is cold and energy and population centers are near
>>
>>106844312
They could run it hot and take advantage of T^4 radiative cooling.

Or maybe the idea is some superconducting quantum thing.

IDK, without some details I must call BS.
>>
>>106844451
I guess I'm smarter than you & Jeff

I went to YouTube Shorts and typed in
"Science nigger explains how cold is space really"

That's retarded.
>>106844312
this lol

>>106844304
Talmbout Jeff Benchod?
>>
He's sending 10 billion into space? Probably still better than investing it in muttland
>>
>>106844451
If only that were true.
>>
>>106844515
Salt water bad.
>>
>>106845062
i looked shit up and if im not mistaken, you can radiate 150 watts per square meter when operating at ~75°C (350 K)
stefan-boltzman something
>>
>>106845093
You sound like a fucking idiot lol
>>
>>106845093
one could supercharge it with a heatpump
kinda like an ac worksyou compress gas and throw the much higher temperature into space
but even then i get 280 w/m^2 for 410K (~130°c)
>>
>>106845119
and you sound like you suck cocks
some anon is gonna correct me and ill stop sounding like an idiot
but you will never stop drinking cum
>>
>>106844359

imagine overclocking possibities and while at it why not use light for data transfer
>>
>>106845121
>>106845093
I suspect you would need a very large radiator and considerable infrastructure to pump heat into it, all in space. But hey, you can do it Jeff!
>>
>>106844312
The one place that's has not been corrupted by Capitalism
>>
>>106845167
a) all this shit would need to get hauled up there
b) how do you even maintain something like that, sub b: what when you decomission?
c) orbits decay. so refueling etc etc
d) comms, comms pollution. its all radio and one will end out of bandwidth, also security, also global infrastructure
its all doable but its a bad idea compared to dumping a datacenter in the sea
or doing things the normal way
>>
>>106844312
ITS OVER!! NASA IS A FRAUD. This guy on 4chan debunked ISS
>>
>>106845202
What are you yammering about, retard? Do you think a space station is like a data center?
>>

don't be foolish
of course grifters know they're grifting

Anon I slept a bit and now I think it really will just be a floating box with a bunch of nvmes attached to a wifi antenna. Bezos is genius!
>>
>>106844304
sounds smart enough
>>
>>106844451
show us the source of these smarter scientists' research and their confirmed results then, nigger.

>>106847026
>just let me steal your tech
nice try, chinkoid
>>
>>106844304
cool if true
>>
FINALLY! a use for all that ECC memory and checksumming filesystems we've been using here on earth for no reason. All that radiation that gets through with no atmosphere is going to cause bit flips all over the place!
also, do nvidia H100/H200 use ECC memory?
>>
>>106844304
The billionaire midwits brain works on keywords. Like one of those word clouds they plaster on the walls of their corporate offices. He knows that two big words right now are SPACE and DATA CENTER. So he's going to combine those two. His minions will figure out what that actually means later, under penalty of losing their livelihoods.

Yeah, swell idea.

you're just as dumb as bezos

so not difficult

not every dc service is latency sensitive

not when you have your own rockets

not a concern

decommission and replace instead of maintaining
>debris collision risk
just go a bit higher
>>
>>106847728
>>only radiative cooling

very difficult actually
all of the power used by computers is turned into heat

This is pants on head retarded.

The same way the current gen of satellite are protected from debris?
Are you retarded?

I think about this whenever my Dad tells me a new data center is put up in Atlanta, GA lmao. They'll do anything but put them where they make sense.
>>
>>106848613
The secret is that you actually need some people to run data centers. People live in Atlanta, they don’t live in Antarctica.
>>
>>106844304
I dunno man, sounds like a real issue for maintenance. How easily could you even cool a fuckhuge, extremely power hungry data center in space?
>>
>>106848649
auughhhh noooo i cant find any sysadmin type nerds to move to antartica for a handsome salary and live in a basement!!!!!! - no one ever
>>
>>106844312
Heat? The radiation will kill any compute eventually.
The atmosphere is equivalent to more than 10 feet thick concrete.
>>
>>106848649
There are much closer locations than Antarctica. A lot of Canada is uninhabited and cold, or perhaps somewhere that isn't similar to hell in the summer. Also, I would like to remind you, that people do maritime or oil rig work because it pays well. You can easily rotate staff in a similar fashion.
>>
>>106848094
datacenters are 100x bigger than a normal satelite DUMB ASS
>>
>>106844374
space is cold.
>>
>>106851800
still need radiators shit gets hot quick when you're in the sunshine
