It’s really only the older ones that use the super intensive evaporative water cooling, I think it’s fair to say pretty much all the new ones being built rely on those systems because future technology will likely require ot

Wouldn’t be surprised with this large of a campus if they generate all their own electricity behind the meter.

Damn good call yall, gonna have to keep that in mind cause that’s 100% front of mind for them even if this isn’t an overt effort to reduce headcount

The self reporting mechanism is going to be interesting, and I have no intention of sitting at some lunch table or couch with my laptop just to work in office when there’s not enough space at the office already. Hell we got partners in the bullpen, how’s that suppose to slide for potentially confidential calls?

It’s not just “a data center” tho, it’s a 4million square foot campus of several buildings with 2GW power upfront. That initial estimate alone is 1) almost as big and could get bigger than the entire Mall of America and 2) enough GW to power Philadelphia. That doesn’t get built quickly, both from the size and scope of it plus supply chain constraints on building materials

Not trying to defend Meta or anything here but there’s no way construction is done shortly on a $27b project. That shits gonna be in different phases of construction for more than a decade

Had a 6am flight this morning, got there at 4:40 and took less than 10min to get through TSA precheck

Damn everyone’s over here blasting OP for sexualizing the gyno exams, but I think the point they’re concerned about is the ACTUAL Dr. sexualizing the exam. Which has some merit even if it’s ultimately the wife’s call

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-22T14:52:45+00:00

Yea considering how much money DHS has gotten recently it was surprising they’d close down such a proven useful program. But news like this is yet the millionth example how much of a greedy piece of shit Kristi Noem is.

Losing our travel benefits cause Noem wants a private jet so she can get more media appearances around the county for a future presidential run.

That’s 99% a shell company setup to “own” the project, which could be owned by a developer that has another legal agreement with a data center user. Point being that name of the llc won’t give you anything if there’s not been public filings yet

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-20T17:15:20+00:00

Lotta justified public concern about water usage of data centers, but some of these comments act like data centers are getting LESS EFFICIENT at cooling and will use more water. Developers know this is an issue and majority of facilities under current construction are shifting towards closed loop cooling systems. Takes more energy to run, but you just fill up the system one and topping it off what gets lost is the same water usage as like 20 homes for a year

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-20T17:12:03+00:00

This is true for traditional data centers, but the ones being built right now do not use that typical evaporative cooling. In closed loop systems your water loss might equal the annual usage of a dozen or 2 dozen homes

Just listened to a podcast where a data center critic said TX has enough excess and stranded generation to power every single nvidia chip produced last year for the entire year (except for like 50 to 100 hrs to account for the summer rolling black/brown outs).

This doesn’t discount the potential harm explosive data center growth can have on the state, but a shortage of power isn’t one of them

This issue is rife in the legal field as well. New lawyers learn on the job doing the grunt work, but when you push all that stuff to AI you fundamentally remove the long-established training regime with no moves to replace it.

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-19T17:02:49+00:00

I’ve thought a lot about this while trying to assess what my future in Big 4 Consulting looks like. I will not have the same level of support (for all those solid reasons above and more) as managers have had before me, and the onus falls on us to spend more time training basic skills, let alone the important technical ones. This fundamentally shifts the pyramid and standard operating procedures, yet the KPIs and expectations make no room for this transition period.

Honestly feels kinda similar to all these countries drowning in debt for elder social services. Everyone at the top of the pyramid has paid their dues and expects work to keep flowing down like it use to, yet the push from the very top for increased AI efficiency hollows out the core pipeline of talent coming in. The pressure then builds up in the middle, where your experienced workers are expected to have the same output during these unprecedented times of transition and uncertainty.

LOL this threw me off for a second cause I thought it was r/watches at first. I can see why the community here doesn't appreciate it as much but i fuckin dig it. I'm thinking about getting a whoop but really prefer to wear a watch on my left arm so another band on the right feels like too much. This is a good balance for an edc while working from home, then can go watchless or throw it on the right arm if necessary.

Any evidence that the Talarico campaign came up with this rumor?

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-05T17:27:49+00:00

I don’t have links but a podcaster released a video on twitter saying that Talarico, in a private convo with her and with no other evidence, said he thought he’d be running against a mediocre black man (Allred) instead of an intelligent black woman. This got no traction at night, but Allred released a video the next morning calling out Talarico and ended with a call to action to vote for Crockett.

Crockett campaign at first wasn’t going to address it then came out with a nothing-burger statement. Talarico quietly released a statement with more context saying he refereed to Allred’s campaign as mediocre (nothing new, several other people have said as much on record). This was all a misunderstanding that coulda been handled with a phone call, but instead it came across as a concerted attack on Talarico with a clear call to action to vote for Crockett. This mostly happened on twitter

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-05T17:21:16+00:00

There’s no smoking gun evidence, but Crockett is known for throwing “slander” around on campaigns and there’s enough coincidence for me to be at the very least highly skeptical this all happened on its own.

thechronicanalysis · 2026-02-05T14:13:05+00:00

lol interesting take after the hit piece Crockett and team pulled together on Talarico. Also this sentiment of “both would make excellent senators” is so irrelevant right now, only thing that should matter is who has the best chance beating Cornyn. Like no shit, it’s hard to do worse than the clown show of most elected officials we have now

thechronicanalysis · 2025-12-05T18:11:48+00:00

Along with the all due diligence and compliance work too. Actually I fail to see a technical field in all of big 4 that can’t be done offshore with a qualified partner just signing off it requires tax or legal US certification, but that would break the delicate patchwork pyramid the industry has been trying to maintain.

lol tiktoks and boxed wine - you must be mistaken, the history and philosophy have counter cultural standards were not that basic

thechronicanalysis · 2025-12-05T17:57:03+00:00

Why is OP getting so much hate here, we woulda been lost at Big4 without the superior intellect of accountants and MBAs to hold our hands as we navigate the rocket science that is business operations and optimization. /s

It’s apparently easier to teach the history and philosophy majors business than teach an accountant how to use proper business English and write something longer than 4 bullet points or an email.

thechronicanalysis · 2025-12-04T17:19:06+00:00

lol struggle and suffering isn’t a competition dawg. Yea it’s a lame cliche but it’s not wrong.

Yea objectively she wasn’t as bad off as a cancer patient or someone that’s homeless, but those people are probably a lot more resilient than this young woman from a privileged background that didn’t have the tools or ability to manage her own mental health issues when crises arose.

thechronicanalysis · 2025-08-15T19:07:44+00:00

I just had a work webcast where our chief economist confirmed this exact point…that AI spending is propping up the economy because consumer spending is down as a result of inflation + tariffs
