New homes in London were delayed by ‘energy-hungry’ data centres

The rapid growth of “energy-hungry” data centres is delaying new homes in London, just as its housing crisis is “at its worst”, a new report has warned. Data centres are giant warehouses full of powerful computers used to run digital services, such as streaming and artificial intelligence. However, they require masses of electricity from the […]
Euler Conjecture and CDC 6600

MarDie: it’s also possible to compute the integer fifth-powers at compile time. I don’t think this warning applies here because the array is small, but the danger of this approach in general is that the executable file must contain that compile-time computed data, which means that it takes time to load that memory from disk […]

Show HN: I built a dashboard to compare mortgage rates across 120 credit unions

Buying a home or refinancing a mortgage is tough enough without confusing ads from banks and big lenders. Credit unions can offer competitive rates compared to big banks because they’re member-owned, non-profit institutions. They focus on serving their members, not maximizing profits for shareholders. But without big budgets and marketing departments, credit union rates aren’t […]
Everyone in Seattle hates AI
I grabbed lunch with a former Microsoft coworker I’ve always admired—one of those engineers who can take any idea, even a mediocre one, and immediately find the gold in it. I wanted her take on Wanderfugl 🐦, the AI-powered map I’ve been building full-time. I expected encouragement. At worst, overly generous feedback because she knows […]
Lie groups are crucial to some of the most fundamental theories in physics

In mathematics, ubiquitous objects called groups display nearly magical powers. Though they’re defined by just a few rules, groups help illuminate an astonishing range of mysteries. They can tell you which polynomial equations are solvable, for instance, or how atoms are arranged in a crystal. And yet, among all the different kinds of groups, one […]
