    Still not adjusting to "compute as noun now" jargon.

    "We need more compute"

    sounds like something that ants who are up to no good would say.

    (And they do say it in my story! But they are confused why so much of their compute is taken up by a mysterious process that they don't understand. Most of them want to just delete it.)

        @futurebird Kraftwerk uses it properly, as a verb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11co7eaLKE4

            @futurebird Grammar aside it feels like a shift to just "compute" for its own sake rather than actually doing anything useful with the computing power!

              It feels oddly cutesy to me.

              Like someone wanted to say "I need more computers" but that was to long.

                @futurebird Lately I've been confused by data centers suddenly being rated by power consumption. What does 1GW have to do with computing capacity?

                    Making delete a noun is something I can get behind.
