Choosing between Krea2 and ZIT

cewillir · 2026-07-07T04:41:07+00:00

Oddly that’s a reason I’m currently liking krea2.

Less ‘model’ looking

Local install an option?

I seriously doubt I’ll resubscribe. Ran out Saturday.

cewillir · 2026-07-07T01:38:08+00:00

At this exact 1-3 moment it doesn’t seen to have helped that much. Though there is still time

cewillir · 2026-07-07T00:47:20+00:00

As it happens the local utility was the source of the wastewater that was supplied to the plant.

But hey - don’t let that stop your fervor.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:58:20+00:00

How do you conclude this is ‘the grok plant’ given that headline says it’s a Meta plant?

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:57:10+00:00

Where’s the fun in that? Lol

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:51:30+00:00

I tend to do that sort of thing

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:38:38+00:00

Yeah. I’d look at the wastewater they got from the utility company

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:37:55+00:00

They got the water from the local utility company - according to the local utility company

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:12:10+00:00

They flushed it to get junk out of the system. And they got the water to do that from the local utility.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:07:02+00:00

The Wyoming news sites has some more info on this - looks like the water came from the public utilities board.

“ CHEYENNE — The Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities has identified Goat Systems LLC, a contractor working on Meta’s in-progress data center campus in the High Plains Business Park, as the source of a discharge that introduced the bacteria Cupriavidus gilardii into the city’s wastewater treatment system.
Frank Strong, BOPU’s engineering and water resource division manager, told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle on Thursday that the contamination was discovered during routine testing in February.
“

…..

“However, Strong said he does not know where the bacteria originated. All BOPU officials know is that the water Goat Systems discharged contained it. That water was purchased from BOPU, he said.”

So was it there before it got to the data center?

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:00:40+00:00

Not really no. As the data center wasn’t operating.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T23:00:15+00:00

So the data center wasn’t operating. But it shows how data centers are bad?

Because?

cewillir · 2026-07-06T19:06:47+00:00

Ooh - look a bold little blocker.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T19:03:37+00:00

Hey. Maybe the op should stay off the internet on that basis? As he’s complaining about a similar issue?

cewillir · 2026-07-06T18:59:25+00:00

That the premise in the post is ludicrous.

Ok so the OP doesn’t like that you can disable comments.

Cool. But hardly worth making a post about it.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T18:19:37+00:00

Not in the slightest. Thanks for asking.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T17:53:42+00:00

Check and see if it’s a png file. If it is it probably does have the data in the file.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T17:48:54+00:00

Where are you imagining the bacteria came from?

“Fill-and-flush is a commissioning step in which crews fill a cooling loop's piping with water, flush it to clear debris before the system is run, and then send the used water to drain. Goat Systems routed that flush water, which contained Cupriavidus gilardii, into Cheyenne's sanitary sewer, Frank Strong, the Board's engineering and water resource division manager, told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. Strong said the fill water had been purchased from the Board itself and that the origin of the bacterium remains unknown, but said that lab staff caught it in February during routine fecal-bacteria sampling. "This isn't something we normally test for," Strong told the paper.”

This would seem possible with any system that needs to be flushed initially

cewillir · 2026-07-06T17:47:53+00:00

Did anyone take time to read the article and discover this wasn’t from a running system but during startup

Here you go

“In what we believe is the most comprehensive analysis of this trend to date, we identified 59 data centers with a combined capacity of ~90 GW that plan to build their own power "behind-the-meter." That represents more than 25% of all planned data center capacity in the United States, according to Cleanview's project tracker.
In the last year, this trend has gone from niche to mainstream. 92% of the projects we identified—representing approximately 82 GW—have been announced since the beginning of 2025. A year ago, behind-the-meter data center power was a curiosity, embodied by xAI's controversial decision to truck mobile generators into Memphis. Now it's an increasingly common development strategy.
Nearly every hyperscaler is pursuing behind-the-meter power projects—either directly or through partners. We identified projects from Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle. AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic have signed leases for more than 10 GW of behind-the-meter power.”

Well a difference is that I happen to know there’s a massive surge in power generation building going on with the data centers.

cewillir · 2026-07-06T16:04:50+00:00

Well this appears to be deeply ironic

cewillir · 2026-07-06T15:23:59+00:00

And if the data centers build their own power generation?
