Show HN: The Cascade Graph – An interactive map of AI and energy constraints

Hello, I wanted to share with you all a interactive map of the economics and physics constraints of the AI buildout. It has macro drivers, industrial chokepoints, and where that shows up in markets.

I've added 393 nodes and 562 edges to capture other supply / physics constraints as well.

There's no sign up, and no pay wall, it's all free.

Please let me know what you think!

Would you be open to sharing or open sourcing the underlying data source? I think there are some very powerful things you could do with this.

For example, I recently discovered this site https://bomwiki.com/ which attempts to make a giant dependency graph of all the parts used to make large machines. This would not be possible without it being a wiki.

Sure, I tried the copper example, see it at the site. If there's more interest I'll open source more of it!

Worked for a company that attempted to do something very similar for the global economy. At the time it ended up being too laborious but this was 10 years ago or something. Seems like a good time to do something like this. I'll keep an eye out for you!

That's very interesting, is there any more you can tell me about your experience?

Sorry to be typical HNer but can you avoid the scroll takeover? It is quite hard to use on mobile.

Noted Ill try to change it tonight

I changed it, it's live! If anyone has mobile issues let me know, I'll fix it.

> Economics is downstream of physics.

I don’t think this is true if finance is included in economics.

… unless of course by physics you also mean metaphysics.

Well I think it is but it's trivially so. In the sense that everything in the physical world is downstream of physics.

I fixed the wording based on your feedback, thank you!

This is really great. I especially like the explanation of how claims are built from primary sources, and the tool clearly aims to show cause-and-effect relationships rather than just present conclusions.

My only suggestion would be to tone down rhetorical phrases like “science dictates economics.” The tool is strong enough to stand on its own, and I think presenting the data more neutrally would make it even more persuasive.

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) are getting classified that way.
