US anti-datacenter organizers run for local office after city bans

Grassroots campaigns against datacenter construction are shifting into electoral politics across the United States, with organizers using local anger over energy use, noise and land impacts to launch bids for city positions. One example is Monterey Park, near Los Angeles, which became the first US city to prohibit datacenter construction after months of community organizing. The organizer behind that effort is now seeking a seat on the city council.

Minibatch persistency revisited: trade-offs in steps, energy and data use

A new arXiv paper re-examines minibatch persistency, a technique where the same batch is reused for K consecutive optimizer steps rather than sampling fresh data each time. The authors quantify what batch reuse costs in terms of optimization steps and energy consumption, and what it saves in data throughput. The work revisits a long-standing objection to the method, which was folded into data echoing in 2019.

Guardian cartoon weighs benefits and drawbacks of AI datacentres

A Guardian editorial cartoon looks at both the advantages and the criticisms attached to the rapid build-out of AI data centres. It touches on themes such as energy and water consumption, land use and local community impact that increasingly shape debate over AI infrastructure. The piece is opinion commentary rather than a reported news story.
