Insane increase in electricity consumption!

Insane increase in electricity consumption!- Grapevine

AI technologies consume significant amounts of energy, with estimates suggesting that AI-related activities could consume as much electricity as a small country like Ireland. The growth of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has led to concerns about the energy demands of data centers, which already account for 1-1.5% of global electricity use. If current trends continue, AI energy consumption could increase dramatically, potentially leading to a 10-fold increase in data center energy consumption[1].

AI can also support energy conservation efforts by optimizing energy systems, enhancing demand-response programs, streamlining industrial processes, and improving building management. However, the development and operation of AI solutions require substantial computational power, which can have a knock-on effect on energy usage and conservation[3].

Efforts to improve AI's energy efficiency include optimizing hardware, using renewable power sources, and developing energy-aware modeling techniques. However, there are challenges in balancing the demand for more powerful AI models with their environmental impact[4].

In summary, AI's energy consumption is a growing concern, but it also presents opportunities for energy conservation through optimization and efficiency improvements. Transparency, monitoring, and reporting of AI sustainability are crucial for managing its environmental impact[4].

Why does Bengaluru electricity go even if some rains happen?

Also where does electric production happen in Bengaluru. I want to visit the place producing electricity.

How are atomberg products?

Anyone here who has installed a roof-top solar by solar square?

Facing issues with the electricity even thought solar is generating more power than consumed units.

Hey everyone,

So, I'm facing a bit of a dilemma here. You know those pesky power cuts? Yeah, they're becoming a regular thing. 
Now, I've got this inverter doing its thing for the whole house, but honestly, I just need a quick fix for one room. You know, keep the lights on, the Wi-Fi humming, and maybe the cooler fan running for a few hours. 
Any bright ideas on what I could snag to make that happen? Let me know your thoughts! Thanks a bunch! 🕯️🔌

Summer power cuts

How is the product, engineering WLB, culture etc. Glassdoor is too positive so wanted to get some critique.

Anyone from Adobe, Noida?

Morning everyone, 

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything, without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.

Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Time to say  bye bye to bangalore and the 1100 cr CM who get traffic cleared for himeself

"We have had to set aside Rs 40,000 crore this year (for the five guarantees). This year, we can't provide development" - Shivakumar. Candid admission on political economy trade-offs. Finally, people choose wht they want - pot-holed roads vs free bus

The roads were still shit with the previous govt btw. So not sure what your agenda is here

Long power cuts
Water supply curtailed 
Stored water is boiling

We have had summers before but situation is dire now

Guys is this real? If the battery charge decreases the price increases. I was trying to book flights( I was in a hurry) , and at the moment the charge was below 20, prices were jumping. But the moment I plugged it in the power Bank the price decreased.

Low battery - Surge pricing

- Ola Electric, preparing for its IPO, saw a significant rise in import costs from China in FY24, despite receiving Indian government incentives for local manufacturing.
- The company's Red Herring Prospectus reveals that imports from China accounted for 37% of total material costs in FY24, up from 19% the previous year, underscoring its reliance on Chinese suppliers.
- Total material costs for Ola Electric reached Rs 4,390 crore, with Rs 1,624 crore coming from Chinese imports, highlighting a 75% increase from FY23.
- The surge in imports is attributed to increased production capacity and the need for essential components like lithium-ion cells and electronic circuits, sourced from China and other countries.
- Ola Electric aims to reduce import dependence by increasing factory localization, but the EV sector's reliance on China for key raw materials like lithium remains a critical issue.

Welcome to Gadgets & Apps's Private Community

if you are staying in delhi :  a) are u facing power cuts ?  b) do u think this highest power consumption is due to free bijli ?

Delhi NCR peeps

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Afraid about moving to Blr

Get a wfh job ... period. 
  
 Bangalore is overrated. 
  
 Better to move to noida...u will face less racism

I live in the top floor(terrace just above) of a apartment and the heat here is making me crazy.
My bed is hot, my fan isn't giving enough air, it's hot air everywhere.
I in general sweat a lot. When I go to sleep and wake up, my entire bed is wet from sweat and can't sleep for few hours because of the heat.
For the entire day, I am shirtless and still can't take the heat. 
  To make matters worse, electricity goes at anytime even in the middle of the day. That time, it feels like sweat won't stop at all.
  I don't have an AC here or power backup and the heat is fucking with my mental peace. Even the water from the filter is hot water🥲
