Clip from Rep. Tom Barrett's virtual town hall yesterday, where he denounces "proposals to nationalize decisions that would override local communities about their decisions around data centers." Rs still hunting for that sweet spot between "moratorium" and "build and tax."

David Friedberg: Michael Burry’s Datacenter Math is Wrong “I actually think Michael Burberry's got this wrong.” “What Michael Burry is saying is that all of these hyperscalers have extended their depreciation schedule or the useful life of their data centers by roughly 2x, which cuts the operating costs in half when they report it in earnings. And so it's making their earnings inflate.” “So he's claiming they're cooking the books. Google first made this change in Q1 of 2021, where they said the servers are now going from 3 to 4 years. Separately in 2021, Google took networking equipment from 3 to 5 years. And then in 2023, they took it from 5 to 6 years.” “And so this is a result of this effort where they went in and did an analysis. So what happened?” “What happened in the data centers is that the data centers transitioned from being primarily data storage and data transfer systems, where you would use hard drives and RAM and memory to store data and then transmit it back out, to being data processing centers because of the AI boom.” “So as AI became more important in the data center, more of the dollars that are going into data centers were allocated towards chips from data storage, which initially was hard drives.” “And then suddenly, when you put these processors in to process the data to do AI, the majority of the spend and the majority of the energy is going towards the processors.” “I made some calls and I checked around with some other friends, and everyone says the same thing: that these 7-8 year old TPUs and GPUs that are sitting in the data centers are still being used and they're being used at 100% utilization.” “So that actually justifies and validates the depreciation schedule being much longer versus shorter.”

Q: What made Steve Jobs great? Tony Fadell is the co-creator of the iPod, iPhone, and Nest. In the clip below, he describes some of the things that made Steve Jobs great: “Really pushing you. Relentless on the details. Challenging you for the right reasons. It wasn’t bullying, it wasn’t demeaning. He would critique the work, not judge the person—at least not in front of them or a group. Extreme attention to detail.” But, as Tony describes, one of the most impressive things about Steve was his ability to make great opinion-based decisions, which is critical for any revolutionary product: “When you make the first version of anything—something revolutionary—there are a lot of opinion-based decisions… And when you have those opinions, and you’re trying to work with a team to implement those decisions, you have to really tell the ‘why’ of those decisions. That way everyone can feel like they’re a part of those decisions and understand the tradeoffs... A lot of times, people want a data-driven decision, but with v1s you don’t have data.” He continues: “If you look at most companies that are paralyzed and cannot make new innovations and new products, it’s because they’re trying to turn opinion-based decisions into data-driven decisions so that they don’t lose their jobs… with a v1 product, you need to be able to articulate opinion-based decisions and own them. If you don’t get them right, you own them, fix them, and move on.” This is something Steve did exceptionally well, and Tony highlights the iPhone’s virtual keyboard as an example. At the time, the Blackberry dominated the productivity phone market. It was called the “crackberry” for a reason: people loved it. Moving to a virtual keyboard that wouldn’t work as well was an opinion-based decision that was the exact opposite of what the market data said. But Steve explained to the team that the iPhone was going to be a productivity AND entertainment device. Videos, apps, and the web browser would need to be full screen. Half of the device can’t be a keyboard because you won’t need a keyboard for everything you do. Steve understood that the Blackberry was a productivity device where the primary use case was messaging and phone calls. The iPhone was going to be so much more, and he explained this ‘why’ to the team in a way that everyone could understand. Tony also shares an example of how Jobs would also reverse an opinion-based decision if the data convinced him that his underlying assumptions were wrong. This ability to make great opinion-based decisions is paramount for creating revolutionary products. And as Tony explains, Steve might’ve been the best in the world at it.
