Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-10-11

Final complete day: 2026-10-11. Attention was 1.0% — this entity appeared in 198 of 20,452 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (257 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   Good question. I honestly can't remember. My work was focused on passive cooling systems, but I feel like somebody in my division was working on a system that used ammonia. Maybe it was being used as a refrigerant, or maybe it was just being used for a heat exchanger. Google says it's been studied, but there are no actual satellites that use it partly due to mechanical reliability and added vibrations. I ran some back of the napkin math, and you could **theoretically** reduce the number of radiators by almost 90% by doubling the radiator temperature from 350K (about 80C, which is near the max for chips) to 700K (nearing the melting temperature of aluminum). Even assuming a perfect Carnot refrigerator, that doubles the amount of power and solar panels that you need. For argument sake let's say the original design was 10 million kg of radiators and 1 million kg of solar panels. So, with a refrigerator, the two are only 3 million kg instead of 11. A significant drop, but also that's before considering the massive industrial high temperature refrigerator that would be needed. No clue what that would look like, so I asked AI and it gave me a specific cooling capacity of about 8.5 kg / KW cooling, which seems plausible. That's another 1 million kg. So it might bring the total mass down by 60% (assuming , but that's honestly not a lot when we're talking about an idea where the economics were orders of magnitude worse than the alterative from the start.

   The majority have taken on or in the process of taking on huge amounts of debt against very uncertain returns. There are lots of things that could go wrong. Nvidia is only worth that much. If you assume they can all keep getting loans and keep buying chips and that all these can keep winning and Meta and Google yeah, they're not gonna go out of business, but they could lose huge amounts of value.

   "The chips can currently run AI workloads (such as running Google's models) for about 15 minutes at a stretch before they need to shut down and cool off, because heat in a vacuum can only be shed via radiators" "Google's Trillium TPUs in space require about 45 minutes of cool-down time". So it works as much as Betty in a call center [SINGULARITY IS HERE] [HIGH EFFICIENCY].

   I have no idea what that means. I don't read news. If 2008 happens again, NVDA drops, google drops, MU drops man its not that complicated. You're hedging with another tightrope.

   Bro 😂 in no way does Google get any upside from this. Like literally zero. You are way off base. Because Google has Google search, they profit from this? LMFAO. You might as well say USPS profits from this because what if the people doing this use mail!?!?
