Mike MaharreyHOST
So can you kind of give the dumb guy version overview of what this shift kind of entails? What are you getting at here?

Will ThompsonGUEST
I guess maybe start with, when I say geography in the paper, I use it as a bit of a catch-all, but it is geography in its holistic sense, meaning the geography is the government, the politics, the country, all of its associated socio-political attributes, not literally just like the geography.

Will ThompsonGUEST
But if you look at interest rates and you look at, say, the last 10, I guess, 20 years since 2008, what you see is that the price of money has largely been set by a bit of a let's call it formulaic approach to understanding what that price is.

Will ThompsonGUEST
So money borrowed for a very short period of time is set by the central bank.

Will ThompsonGUEST
So why is this historically hasn't been a big issue? Because, you know, when we think about server power density, it was 10 to 20 kilowatts, which wasn't a lot when it comes about conventional cloud compute.

Will ThompsonGUEST
Next generation of GPUs, we're talking about hundreds of kilowatts, and, you know, I think even beyond that, people are talking about one megawatt per rack.

Will ThompsonGUEST
That is a ton of power, that's a ton of energy, and a ton of heat that needs to be removed from the servers.
