Behind the meter gas power has become a common path for data centers to get power faster. But it turns out operating a city-scale utility is no joke (turbine shafts breaking, low uptimes). It's hell for social licenes (if you think communities hate data centers, try data centers with 40 jet engines running non-stop!). And it leaves these facilities quite exposed to future gas price risk, as Aniruddh illustrates below.
Interesting sections on energy in Anthropic's S1 filing!
There's been speculation on how data centers are managing fuel price risk from gas offtake, whether off-grid data centers will happen at scale
- 'an increasing share of data centers being developed with dedicated onsite generation independent of the grid'
- ANT exposed to fuel price volatility as they bear cost on a pass-through basis, no cap on fuel costs
- Lack of firm gas supply can delay facilities
- For grid connected assets, ANT discusses 'investing in curtailment systems' to reduce strain during peak periods
- Cooling needs may increase over time for data centers due to changing climate
- Notes risk that utilities may reallocate capacity required by ANT data centers

2022: Francesca Albanese praises Dr. Alice Jill Edwards as “extraordinary” and her appointment as “fantastic.”
2026: After Dr. Edwards revealed Albanese's refusal to report on Hamas torture of hostages, she suddenly attacks her: “When lies is all one has left to stay relevant.”

If you support Hamas, you’re a nutter. That includes people in Gaza who support Hamas. The two MPs murdered over here were both killed by nutters (one Neo-Nazi, one Islamist). Cooked religions & ideologies go well with nutterdom. Part of dealing with this problem is holding nutters accountable & not making excuses for them.

Apparently this was an assassination attempt against a serving member of the Australian Parliament. I completely denounce it and condemn it

In Australia you are 23 times more likely to be a millionaire than be homeless
everyone thinks for some reason that they are closer to becoming a millionaire than becoming homeless.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Recent polling shows a majority of US voters believe they are more likely to become homeless than a millionaire. US data show roughly 23.6 million millionaires versus ~746,000 experiencing homelessness on a given night.

I get compliments on what I wear noticeably more these days, which is weird because I was wearing the exact same stuff 1-2 years ago

I was at the Tesla Roadster event - Just now leaving the Space X facility. I am a magician - I own the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The demo was real. I was a kid again watching it.
