"If only they used DC from the wall socket, all those H100s would be green" is, not, I think, the hill you want to die on.

But, yeah, my three 18MW/y racks agree that more power efficiency would be nice, it's just that Rewrite It In (Safe) Rust is unlikely to help with that...

I didn't see any mention of Rust in the article?

That's an interesting take. What's your reasoning? Whats your evidence?

Pretty much everything Oxide publishes on github is either in rust or it's an sdk to service in rust. Well and web panel isn'tin rust, so negative points for that, true evangelists would have used WASM.

But Oxide reason to exist is to keep memory of cool racks from Sun running Solaris alive forever.
