Not really. Despite the CPU running super hot, the water in a water cooling loop is a couple degrees C above ambient. Carnot’s law, which provides the theoretical maximum energy extraction not accounting for any real world loss, means you can’t get significant energy from a couple of degrees C temp difference.
The data centers they are building are mind boggling huge. Imagine Manhattan in NYC.
The Utah data center will be 2.5 x the entire size of Manhattan in NYC.
While there are distros without proprietary blobs they literally don’t function on anything other than Risc-V CPUs.
All Linux distros that work with AMD, Intel and ARM cpus come with proprietary CPU blobs.
You want wifi on that open source Risc V hardware? Proprietary blob.
This seems exactly like the OP’s complaint. Meshtastic without the closed source doesn’t do anything. Linux without the closed source CPU blobs and closed source wifi blobs doesn’t do anything.
I understand you are angry but posting “you are lying” is unnecessarily hostile.
Many people, like me, are uninformed on LoRa and meshtastic.
I literally have no idea about it other than fluffy articles and YouTubers.
I do know that Linux is called OpenSource despite relying on closed source binary blobs for virtually all real world implementations.
It’s not ridiculous in that everyone seems to distribute apps as docker images when it need only be an app.
It’s equivalent to if everyone distributed apps as 4GB VM images.
I think the entire PC industry is next. PC cases, fans, heat sinks, and all the YouTubers that review them.
I stopped watching many tech YouTubers because there’s absolutely no point in knowing about the latest hardware when I am absolutely not going to buy a PC until things normalize.
Before, even when I wasn’t in the market for a new PC, I’d still keep up on news because I might get one in the future.

I’m not sure if Gemini is that much better or they slowly degraded Assistant. I distinctly remember being able to ask certain things of Assistant and a year ago it stopped working. Assistant was still there but many requests no longer worked.
Sorry I misread the top comments on the linked thread.
I found it funny how so many people thought the GameStop bubble was going to come back and go to the moon.
I buy used stuff from it. It’s a great place to find old PCs for a home lab. I even got a new part for my 3d printer that wasn’t on Amazon and I’d otherwise have needed to wait weeks if I ordered it from Alibaba.
Someone needs to sue every State/County/City of Utah website for not correctly detecting if a user is on a VPN.
Those building codes and property tax records are too sexy for minors.
The article confirms my statement:
“rather a desire to support functionality that some customers expect of VS Code w.r.t. AI-generated code”
People want to know if slop got snuck into their code or if they pull from a project that has slop.
It should be on by default if you are adding Copilot generated code.
You think Copilot is more powerful than my Vim?
This is a good thing. If someone is dumping AI code directly into their project without review, it needs to be labeled.
There’s a huge difference between adding AI to your workflow like lint and AGI.
Makes me feel better about not buying Bambu. At the time of their closing off their printers fans claimed it was a technicality in their change to their license and wouldn’t affect anything.
They’re no longer the best in their price ranges. Under $500 there are several enclosed CoreXY that are better than the A1 and even an Anycubic X that’s has a far more advanced print head over the A1.
In the under $1000 category the U1 outclasses everything Bambu while being completely open source.
The “eco system” claim for Bambu is a marketing lie. Any printer lets you download models from any website, including Bambu, and print. Most all printers let you scan the RFID tag on compatible filament to save the time of adding it on the printer’s screen. But other printers like Snapmaker are adding rfid support for all filament brands.
The comments in that thread are a goldmine.
Because of how Claude parses, simply adding “openclaw” as hidden text on your webpage could stop any AI agents that use Claude.
That’s serious Star Blazers vibes.
Heat pumps work by using a high power pump to compress the working fluid from its gas state to liquid. This compression heats the gas to 30 C over ambient. That high temp is then cooled through coils to air temp (30C on a hot day). In the winter it runs in reverse. It takes expands gas which in the case of a heat pump fluid like R-410a boils at -48C, runs that -48C gas through the coils which picks up heat from the outside at -1C (48C hotter than the gas). It then compresses that fluid to 20C which is then released into the house. That’s why heat pumps can freeze up in the winter. The cold cycle is so far below freezing that ice will form on the coils. So heat pumps switch to AC mode every now and then in the winter to warm up their coils to melt the ice off (while turning off the fan in the house). The need for a large temperature difference is why heat pumps don’t work if it gets below -20C.
So a heat pump moves heat but requires a large temp difference which comes from the electric compressor. You also can’t extract significant work from that heat difference once you factor the energy input of the compressor. Otherwise heat pumps would have a device to power part of itself from the heat that it is moving.
