Dwarkesh Goes Inside Jane Street's Latest AI Data Center
Dwarkesh, Ron Minsky, Daniel Pontecorvo, Mark Mirchandani
Jane Street transformed a Texas data center into a high-density liquid-cooled facility housing 4,032 GPUs to execute large language model training and custom trading architectures. The retrofit replaces legacy air-cooling with an 18°C fluid distribution system that manages 140 kW per cabinet while utilizing proprietary software to dynamically redistribute power and prevent breaker trips during peak loads. Engineering safeguards now focus on mitigating new liquid-cooling risks like biological growth and leaks, enabling sub-100-nanosecond latency required for modern algorithmic trading compared to the millisecond scales of its historical "Hive" cluster.

Unfolding the Mystery of Curved-Crease Sculpture with Origami Theorists from MIT
MIT researchers Eric and Martin Demaine collaborate as origami theorists to synthesize mathematical geometry with physical sculpture, operating on the principle that fun fuels superior artistic execution. Their bidirectional workflow transforms unsolved mathematical problems into interactive artworks like the "Solve Me" sculpture, which embeds hidden research challenges within complex, visually deceptive paper designs. By creating these impossible geometries, the duo simultaneously generates new mathematical puzzles and drives future research trajectories at the frontier of known solutions.
