Is land on the Moon or Mars on sale for locating next gen datacenters ?
Yeah, but the bandwidth and network latency is crap.

They've been talking about putting datacenters in the middle of oceans
for years, originally to minimize trading delays between different stock
markets around the world.
Original paper (I think):
https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.82.056104
Summary of the above paper (for laypeople, and those that don't have
access to APS journals):

And there was that dumb Microsoft experiment to sink a container full of
servers in the ocean off of Orkney Islands Scotland for "free"
cooling. Not quite international waters, but it was a start:

I was talking to a writer about this story idea.
More to come.

It would be good to track how governments try to "regulate"
technologies/materials/processes that have an impact on HPC (AI at scale
fits
into HPC) for good and for bad.
It could be for instance as convoluted as DC emissions cap aligning to a
climate policy.

All:
Back in July, I stepped into the Managing Editor role at HPCwire.
I'm covering for a staff sabbatical, and I will be in place through
December, including attending SC23.
A few things:
1. As ME, I am interested in what types of topics you would like to see
covered on HPCwire (even if you don't read it)
2. Also, if you have something you think is particularly interesting
at SC23 (yours or someone else's), let me know.
As you can imagine, HPCwire sits (or stands or gets knocked down)
directly in the HPC information fire-hose. I'm interested in HPC
efforts, projects, and ideas that may not make it into the fire hose
stream or may get missed.
I hope to see you at SC23 (I will be wearing a blazer
sometimes!). Not on Monday night at the Bash, though. I believe
there is some T-shirt or wardrobe planned.
