    Yes, investing in reliability will increase reliability

    You can radiate the heat with a biiiig long radiator but it doesn’t solve any of the other problems or improve commercial scalability

      You may note that this thread is talking about data centre reliability …

      Also you can’t radiate heat in space …

          Yeah I’ll pay that, you can’t radiate it effectively enough for data centre applications though.

        How does the Sun work?

          Mostly emitting ungodly amounts of photons and radiations, as far as the earth is concerned. Is that actually cooling it though ?

            Yes, all that emitted radiation does cool down the sun. It’s why it has a mostly stable temperature instead of getting hotter infinitely.

              Oh so youre saying we should convert the heat generated by the data centres to wide spectrum EM and emit that instead? Amazing! There should be no issues with outputting watts or kilowatts of EM from each of these assuredly numerous space data centres.
