"No dictator can last forever. History shows that in the end, people around the dictator bring about change. Of course, a lot of high-ranking officials don't want change because they want to keep power. But there are other good people who want change. I believe they are waiting for the chance." ~ Lee Hyeon-seo

Paver walkway leading to short stone wall of an empty water feature in front of a stone structure with a doorway and a small circular open air window above the doorway. Four empty cement garden planters are in front of the structure and a metal railed observation deck is above. Evergreen trees are growing next to the structure. Through the doorway a large urn is standing in bright sunlight behind some green plants set behind a weathered wooden bench with a rail backrest with evergreens behind the urn.

At my previous full-time role I worked on a simulator for just these sorts of black start events. The US has come very close to having regional outages of this scale several times in the last decade, and our black start capability is largely untested to my knowledge (by which I mean largely untested in real-world scenarios).

Spain is about to face the challenge of a “black start”

«#Project2025 is a radical #US #conservative #agenda — but what if its ideas are coming to #Europe? This video dives into “#TheGreatReset,” a real #EU-focused plan backed by #Orbán allies. It aims to weaken #Brussels, kill #EUcourts, and put #power back in #national hands. We explore the origins, the goals, and why it’s more than just a theory. Watch till the end — this isn’t just #politics. It’s the future of #Europa» #eumadesimple #EUMS

It's odd to me that people talk about data centers in terms of megawatts, a measure of electric power. For one example among many, a Bloomberg article from March about Microsoft cancelling data center plans began:

Microsoft Corp. has walked away from new data center projects in the US and Europe that would have amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity, according to TD Cowen analysts, who attributed the pullback to an oversupply of the clusters of computers that power artificial intelligence.

"Data center projects that...amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity" is a nonsensical statement. The (technical) capacities of a data center have to do with storage, compute, transmission, and latency. I understand there's probably some Fermi calculation along the lines of converting electric power to compute capacity using the TDP of NVIDIA's latest GPUs or something like that. Nevertheless, it's misleading to speak this way, not to mention lazy. It is oversimplifying in a bad way, treating data centers as utilities that supply a commodity when that is just not the case (at least not with AI, where prices for services still fluctuate fairly wildly).

"We have power... Our power isn’t in a political system, or a religious system, or in an economic system, or in a military system; these are authoritarian systems... they have power... but it’s not reality. The power of our intelligence, individually or collectively IS the power; this is the power that any industrial ruling class truly fears: clear coherent human beings." ~ John Trudell
