And the five good emperors.
Actually, so here's one thing I'm confused about.
Machiavelli makes a point of pointing out Cesare Borgia's betrayals because of how remarkable they are.
For example... Ramiro de Orco.
Yeah, so slaying the very deputy that he had tasked with being harsh and as a result bringing peace to a region for that harshness that he had delegated or, you know, inviting as a gesture of goodwill some people who are going to do a revolution against him and then killing them all at the banquet.
But should we take the fact that he's making a special point that, hey, actually take this kind of betrayal or this kind of deed as something you should consider doing as evidence that this is actually rare at the time?
Maybe another way to ask the question is, to the extent that they are all Christians at the time, surely...
They really did believe they're going to go to hell if they betray people or if they lie or break their oaths or something, right?
So just as you were saying a second ago about how capital punishment was actually less prominent at the time than we in retrospect think it to be, are these kinds of crazy political intrigues or whatever less common than these stories make it up to be?
We're gonna need dozens and eventually hundreds of gigawatts of new AI data centers.
The only way to achieve this at scale is to turn the data center build out into an industrial process.
Basically manufacturing modular components that you can literally slide into position wherever there's power.
Crusoe is furthest along at making this happen.
Crusoe has a 350,000 square foot factory in Colorado where they assemble their spark units.
These modular AI data centers with everything already pre-built.
high-density racks, power, cooling, fire suppression, you name it.
Crusoe actually manufactures a lot of these components in-house.
This allows them to sidestep long lead times on components like switchgear and power distribution centers.
All of this, of course, would be moot if Crusoe still had to wait years to connect each module to the grid.
But they don't.
