The operator and KEDA is a great way to get started with adding carbon awareness to batch workloads

I've been surprised that the future energy demands of AI have not been discussed much in climate-energy spaces. Or maybe I'm missing something?
An AI-supported search requires 10X the computing costs of a standard internet search... Data centers use 1-1.5% of global electricity, but MIT estimates they may use up to 21% by 2030. There are currently 5,375 data centers in the US and efficiency gains are stalling:

Exciting to see in this @climate story the work I do between the @UPV - LARS group and @MethaneData (IMEO) in detecting methane emissions from satellites. 🛰️🌍 Many thanks to @aaronaclark1 for this!
This 27-year-old isn’t a detective, but she may be the closest thing the world has to climate police @aaronaclark1 explains how she's helping the UN trace devastating methane leaks trib.al/5QTKl35

We've spotted the #OSIRISREx capsule on the ground, the parachute has separated, and the helicopters are arriving at the site. We're ready to recover that sample!
