The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence are so energy hungry that they’re heating up their surroundings, according to new research. It’s an alarming finding given the number of data centers is predicted to explode over the next few years.
Oh, 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Still, thats quite a bit.
Only a handful of countries use Fahrenheit, but they’re still too arrogant to add the unit. I get not including Celsius because of the target audience, and dropping the unit in conversation but this isn’t that
metric is so much more simpler,
For temperature, not really. Both Celsius and Fahrenheit are useful for different things.
Fahrenheit is great for what we feel (it’s related to body temperature for the high end, and the freezing point of brine on 0).
Celsius is great for cooking, or applications where you care about what water is doing (0 is freezing, 100 is boiling).
Neither uses different scales, like other metric units increasing by 10s (at least, I’ve never seen anything like kC). If you’re doing that, you’re using Kelvin, which is a fundamental base temperature, where 0 is actually 0, which makes more sense for physics and math, but is less useful for what we feel.
I think the US should switch, just to make it easier to communicate, and other metric scales actually are better. C and F are both equally useful for different things though. Neither is actually a better scale.
If only we could harness the energy of people bitching about not using Celsius we could power the whole world.
Ahaha. I’m not even bitching about that. I’m doing that pedantic thing that physics teachers do where they point out the number without the units isn’t correct
That said, if the US just used SI units…
Yeah it got me too haha
