I am job hunting if anyone is looking for an #IT #engineer

I currently work in Mergers and Acquisitions as an IT specialist in the embroidery field, but I have experience with #Cisco #networking including their Firepower ASA and their switches. I am also an #MDM engineer and I am the team lead for SOP writing and development. #SSO experience with Okta. Admin experience with #Threatlocker.

I have operated in a variety of compliance frameworks including #CMMC #PCI and #FEDRAMP for the last 2 years. I've spent 3 years working medical field so I'm #HIPAA aware as well.

I would like to get back into a #datacenter job. I am comfortable with #travel and I'm comfortable with #parttime and #contract work if you have any recommendations.

I won't do defence companies though.

'xAI is buying an overseas power plant and shipping the whole thing to the US (tariff please?) to power its new data center— 1 million #AI GPUs and up to 2 Gigawatts of power, equivalent to powering 1.9 million homes.

It's no secret that #musk has already run into power troubles. Colossus, xAI's main #dataCenter, has 35 gas turbines that can produce 420 MW of power. However, things are going to get much more serious going forward.'

Yeah- up to 5 times more #gas. 🤬

Plan would power new #Microsoft #AI #DataCenter with electricity from Pa.'s #ThreeMileIsland #nuclear reactor

Constellation Energy is prepared to invest $1.6 billion to bring the plant's surviving reactor from the 1979 meltdown back online.

Excerpt: "Tech companies favor nuclear power for AI

"In the race to develop artificial intelligence applications, tech companies are scrambling to build data centers, which require enormous amounts of electricity to operate. Such facilities are forecast to make up a growing share of the nation's electricity use in the years to come, prompting companies to look at tapping into existing infrastructure to help meet their needs.

"#NuclearPower is being touted as a cost-effective solution for these data centers that also limits reliance on carbon-producing power sources. Building and directly connecting data centers to nuclear plants is known as co-location, a strategy that industry leaders favor because it's cheaper and faster to do. Proponents also claim it reduces stress on the transmission grids.

[...]

"When Constellation signaled interest in restarting Three Mile Island in July [2024], doubts surfaced about the technical feasibility of the project. Not only would it be the first of its kind, but it will have to be accomplished next to another reactor whose clean-up and decommissioning is expected to continue through 2078.

"The site also remains politically contentious due to the lasting memory of the 1979 accident, which displaced surrounding communities and left a legacy of fear over whether the #radiation released contributed to increased #cancer rates in the vicinity. About 2 million people were exposed to #RadioactiveFallout as a result of the meltdown.

"Public health researchers from Temple, Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh published a report last year finding that long-term studies into the impact of the meltdown were limited by research flaws."

On 1,200 acres of cornfield in Indiana, Amazon is building one of the largest computers ever

"A year ago, a 1,200-acre stretch of farmland outside New Carlisle, Ind., was an empty cornfield. Now, seven Amazon data centers rise up from the rich soil, each larger than a football stadium.

Over the next several years, Amazon plans to build around 30 data centers at the site, packed with hundreds of thousands of specialized computer chips."

Holly Ridge is a rural community in Louisiana, home to rice and grain mills, an elementary school, a few houses and — soon — Meta's 4 million square foot AI data center. The facility will host thousands of servers that require billions of watts, and it will be partially funded by Louisiana residents, thanks to a deal with Entergy, the region's energy monopoly. @404mediaco has more details.
