A decade ago, I worked at a facility which owned 1,000,000 sqft of datafloor space. My location was "only" 300,000 sqft, their largest single location.
During my tenure there, we went from continuous ~2MW to ~3.5MW (5MW designmax). Certain days of the year we would spend hours just shedding load with our on-site 1MW loadsink/"toaster", being paid by PowerCo to burn off their excess baseload. This cut our energy bill in half (despite using even more energy!). Hopefully battery grid storage has reduced this practice..?
On those days our entire cooling yard would exceed 130°F (asphalt surface, primarily). Semi-arid Texas, otherwise, at a balmy 102°F.
>whether something special happens when a service is involved in preparing a message to his lawyer.
I use an online LLM to field better questions to my lawyer — he is aware, as I send him these AI conversations. His only warning to me is don't say anything that you wouldn't want the judge to read, which is the same warning given about email. Lot's of "devil's advocating" phrasing...
During our current lawsuit (my first, as plaintiff) — years brewing — I have built myself a local Ollama computer, which can answer offline questions better. But for something quick or simpler, I still use online services often.

Local LLMs are the future. This massive datacenter overinvestment is going to become obvious (similar to how ProTools destroyed recording studios).
I use a 4K 45" Aorus (Gigabyte) on M4 and M2 Pro — also eyesight/age...
Both will run at 144Hz, but the M4 will occassionally flicker if you're close to limits on dual-screens. I set to 120Hz and don't notice any difference.
----
My M4 complaint is that I can no longer update my OS with a USB Installer offline. My M3 (and lower) will, using the same Sequoia media.
For $650, I just purchased a consumer-level CCTV (writes locally, on a loop) which can auto-detect all humans, vehicles, and pets — creating montages of visitors (for later review). This is entirely offline, eight camera, just over two weeks retention at 12MP (configurable to months with dual SATA slots and video setting changes).
What cloud recording is capable of determining... is absolutely limitless. I think this is what makes Flock so scary / "different."
Appreciate this, also put in another link in the footer to "Report an Error" just in-case it does become a reference source. No factor of safety in the periodic table of elements.
As second suggestion: this probably looks great on a cell phone, but on a 50" display you've got tons more space for additional elemental facts/tidbits. Perhaps detect monitor size, then keep simple for phones?
This could additional put the lanthomides into their correct placement (if window widened enough) [0].
Much prettier. Could easily have larger pop-ups (entire point is to get information on elements, no?) <https://i.imgur.com/IVx5MY5.png>
Heck, even have a link to Wikipedia articles (why not?). You're obviously in the enjoyment of information sharing =D
You also have plenty of space for an example element (e.g. describe what each line represents e.g.g: density, atomic mass, proton/element #). The map's "key" if you will... not everybody knows these standardized chemnerd properties (you can then also remove the 120+ "RT" by simply placing in example element @STP, with a link to what that means, too).
I like that you've chosen to use an actual element for the example / explainer.
To streamline the UI, might I suggest replacing example element (copper) with just the explainers, next to hydrogen [2]... using that elements information (without adding a free-floating copper).
If that doesn't make sense, let me know.
Thanks for being a responsive educator.
[2] perhaps use Beryllium for your example/explainer -- because then you can explain the electron orbitals too ..?

Replace the topbar (color==atomic class) location to between Group II & III elements (e.g. whitespace between Be B); does not need to be explained on example element text.
Among my favorite failed dorking around experiences is pre-Raspberry, when the Arduino was still hobby-level equipment. This was over a decade ago...
With only a few kilobytes of code, you could send a UDP packet directly to your phone, with an app you "wrote" with just a few lines of code (to receive, without auto-confirmation).
I "sold" my mother my personal top-of-the-line MacBook Pro ~2014... only to eventually discover it largely unused when we were probating her properties.
iPad awas the perfect device for her (I've touched one perhaps twice, in my entire lifetime).
I awoke this morning to newcat lapping from my bedside drinking glass (with a dash of tea/caffeine). She has two other waterbowls... but I guess is mad at me because the edible I ate last night caused me to sleep in too long for her breakfast likings.
Lil'shit knows this is not allowed, on a tabletop she's not allowed upon, no less!
----
I'm not a cat person and somehow have inherited a black kitten from each parent.
----
At least she didn't curl up napping upon my Apple Silicon (thankfully kess attractive than older Macbook AMD GPUs)... that's when I know I've actually fucked up #catWorld
When I was dying from COVID, it was an agony that lasted for two or three days. I don't remember the most of it, but I had no will or strength to get up. My cat was pissed off about me not feeding her. Obviously she was, though I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I was too deep into that COVID thing. At some point she decided that enough was enough, so she came to me and sat on my face. But the real devilry was the piece of shit that was stuck to her fur. I can tolerate my cat's ass on my face, but not her shit. I was fully awake in seconds. And she got her food.
I always thought of her as of the stupidest cat I knew, but that event convinced me otherwise. She was the smartest cat, she was smart enough to conceal her intelligence so as not to raise my expectations for her behavior.
