I was at the #ISC26 High Performance Computing conference this week - first conference like this for me. Very interesting. Learned a lot. And I gave a talk on visualization which people seemed to like. But as one of the speakers pointed out, the exhibition hall starts to look like a plumbing convention. This image shows one of these "hyperscaler" computer racks. Each using >2MW of power. The use case is AI of course. And if you know me at all, you probably can guess my opinion on that.
