Larry Page reportedly has a number for how much computing will end up in space: five nines. As in 99.999%. Patrick OShaughnessy heard it secondhand: "Someone asked Larry Page how much of compute will be orbital, and he said five-nines." martin_casado's reason it might happen: "It's just basically regulatory."... He thinks there are 500 proposed bills to stop data center building in the US, Texas included. From Invest Like the Best.show more

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado the permit office is doing more for space than nasa

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado Casado is right that it's regulatory. Living in the UAE, the opposite approach works: data center capacity is being built out quickly because approvals and energy planning are predictable. Capital doesn't fight regulation, it relocates.

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado I think both parties realise this the benefits to their states now of having them terrestrially tbh but regardless the end game is space that’s pretty clear now

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado Yes

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado What about redundancy on earth when space goes down? It’s needed no?

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado Orbit compute will be the future , extremely valuable and backbone of civilization 🚀

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado @grok shouldnt it be more than 5 nines? As EM noted, current terrestrial energy x million= still less than a millionth of sun energy potential, correct? Add other stars and you have to add more 9s

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado Eat shit

@patrick_oshag @martin_casado World needs Larry Page back
