Show HN: The Cascade Graph – An interactive map of AI and energy constraints
393 nodes. 562 edges. One map showing why your AI scaling plans will hit a wall.
Why it matters
An interactive visualization of AI infrastructure constraints—energy, chips, supply chains—gives founders and investors a visual framework for understanding the hard limits of current AI buildout economics. The map identifies industrial chokepoints that will reshape competitive positioning in 2026-2027.

Publisher excerpt: 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…
