Salaries across the board are also a non-insignificant factor. Not just CEO but for brevity,

Seattle City Light CEO $340k 8% bonus

Bonneville Power Administration CEO $245k

Avista Energy CEO $4.77 Million

Puget Sound Energy CEO $1.7 Million up to 9 Million (includes bonus ramp targets)

Now let’s play a game of which are public and which are private.

Paper owned by billionaire who is trying to wipe out pesky humans publishes article saying trust us you’ll be fine

In the end I'm happy it turned out the way it did. I've had some great experiences since and stayed in tech. Plus that freed up a slot for one of the many early 20s kids that were trying to get in.

I applied for an apprenticeship several years ago when I was testing the waters to rotate out of tech after covid. Tested into the highest percentile, had previous high voltage experience with OEMs, a mech eng degree, still ended up like 200 people deep in the queue. That was the end of that interest. You basically have to be friends or family with someone to get into IBEW.

If Oracle can't acquire power generation for their WI facilities they've been asleep. Generac is based out of WI and rapidly expanding their manufacturing footprint to match DC demand. Connect the dots to political lobbying and tax breaks to one of the biggest local businesses in an now-recovering manufacturing state to secure generation equipment. A year ago Oracle could've bought Generac outright for less than some of these flailing partnerships they've done.

I do not, however I am curious about Jules support. I didn't know if this was a dead project or not. Seemed really interesting but then I didn't see much development/announcements/discussions around it. Last update from their changelog was as you said 3.1-pro support in March.

The security aspect is the main driver why I’m seeing so many businesses investing in local hardware. They know the models aren’t as good (caveat that they also can’t run Chinese models) and that’s ok. Places that really care about security and data governance already aren’t on the bleeding edge. They wait for the nice stable lts version, they lock down dev machines in frustrating ways and have lots of IT admin layers.

But they also want to taste the sweet fruit of AI so the only way to do this that a CISO will approve is on local air gapped hardware. It’s a niche but still a billion dollar niche.

Helping my wife with building out Fine Dining classes. I’m doing the tech stuff, she does all the real work.

It started with informal among friends things, and we’ve found through our networks there’s a lot of demand beyond her girlfriends wanting high tea etiquette. Now she's diving into tech people who have elevated into higher ranks but don’t have experience yet in fine dining with clients and leaders.

It’s been a lot of fun doing something that has nothing to do with AI and really minimal tech in general. The events have been a lot of fun, really feels like we’re cooking something.

Blaming AI for Amazon’s accelerating downturn is a cop-out. This has been going on long before genAI was allowed there. Even now many teams within the products you called out aren’t using it at all.

They are the TJ Maxx of software development.

I personally haven’t expected anything more of them for years. Once you’ve seen how the sausage is made and all that.

This article is written by a Wisconsin publication about data centers in Wisconsin. My comments are specific to Wisconsin. Like I said in my comment, some states aren’t well equipped to handle new manufacturing/dc.

I cannot take your comment very serious when so much of it is plainly wrong. You fall into the later category of what I described in my original comment. Outside of reddit-sphere people do not take these flippant and short-sighted comments seriously.

So add 0 jobs because people don’t like chatgpt and it won’t create the same amount as 1960’s manufacturing; or add some jobs to rural WI?

You only have to look at Hermiston/Umatilla OR to see how impactful data centers can be on rural communities. There’s a lot more than 40 new jobs there since Amazon started building data centers.
