In theory, a data furnace is perfectly reasonable, from the perspective of pure thermodynamics. Resistance just turns electricity into heat, after all, and as far as the joules care, there's no difference between a stovetop heating element (which turns useful power directly into heat) and a CPU (which does some math along the way to turning it into heat). In practice, approximately zero percent of the waste heat of bitcoin miners is going to useful purposes, and approximately another zero percent is projected to do so in the future. If the concept was feasible in the real world, datacenters would have already been doing it for years now.

Lmao "Data Furnace". Using waste heat from server farms for district heating isn't a new concept, and it has been done. See Facebook's data center in Odense for an example.

All electric heaters are just as energy efficient as any other electric heater. A computer works exactly as well as a space heater. The thing is, if your goal is to heat your home, you can get a mini-split heat pump for a lot cheaper than filling your house with bitcoin rigs. It also cools your house in the summer. e: I want to see someone connect a thermostat dial to the clockspeed on their computer. Dr. Stab has a new favorite as of 10:57 on Sep 21, 2022 |

Dr. Stab posted:e: I want to see someone connect a thermostat dial to the clockspeed on their computer. It’s not what you meant but that’s effectively how any PC made in the last five years or so works. The processor automatically boosts its clock speed until it reaches its maximum safe temperature and then stays there for as long as it’s needed to perform at its best speed. Adding more cooling allows the processor to hopefully do more before it reaches that maximum temp.

Dr. Stab posted:e: I want to see someone connect a thermostat dial to the clockspeed on their computer. I could actually implement that in an afternoon at work. We have hundreds of thermal sensors in our servers, and we already collect that data. All I'd need to do is to orchestrate clock limits across them, which is also easy since the tooling already exists. Expose the desired temperature at which throttling happens as a tunable and we're done. And sure, to do it properly I'd need to use a PID controller, but for a hackjob this is surprisingly trivial.

A friend of mine once said they look like they should taste like "Sweet milk". There were a number of cases documented where people were poisoned from eating the things, but the vast majority were either toddlers who were too young to know they weren't candy or elderly people with dementia. I don't think any actual deaths resulted from teenagers doing the video challenge.

In the second grade I did something like this for a school science presentation and I was convinced I had discovered infinite electricity. My parents spent a very frustrating Sunday afternoon trying to explain to my dumb rear end why that wouldn’t work.

Over the past few days, Adam Levine (lead singer of Maroon 5, coach on The Voice) has been exposed as sliding into the DMs of multiple women, despite being married. Now, not everyone is into celebrity drama and the airing of dirty laundry, but we can all appreciate the stupidity of a famous dude (who is married to a famous supermodel) using his verified account to try having affairs. The audacity! Also, look at how this man sexts: https://twitter.com/GalaxyPeaBrain/status/1572291146084130816 https://twitter.com/shahartley/status/1572276118341689346 This 40+ year old man said he wanted to "buy [a girl's booty] a steak dinner and whisper sweet nothings into it"...did Ron Burgundy write this?
