I expect cultural references that make sense.

They could have just said “I love the smell of burning fascists in the morning”.

“I love the smell of fascists in the morning…”

That doesn’t even make sense. Napalm, yes. Fascists tho?

Neat! Thanks for the link!

What is KLWP?

The plant will generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year—enough to help run a nearby desalination facility and supply around 220 homes. That equals the output of two soccer fields of solar panels, but osmotic power keeps running day and night, in any weather.

The princess is neither Sync nor Send.

I’ve heard it likened to the dot-com boom: yeah, we’ve got a tonne of e-commerce today, but the stars hadn’t aligned in early 2k.

Seems a bit early tbh. But I’ll take it.

In total, the median prompt—one that falls in the middle of the range of energy demand—consumes 0.24 watt-hours of electricity, the equivalent of running a standard microwave for about one second. The company also provided average estimates for the water consumption and carbon emissions associated with a text prompt to Gemini.

What about Monsanto (Roundup) and Philip-Morris (lol)? You could probably include Dole. As well as the East India Company.

Hell yeah, intern! DO IT!

Typed! Back in my day we just got a wire that you had to lick in binary to tell the computer what to do.

It would be fantastic if our other GHG-producing activities were held to the same level of criticism as AI.

You’re gonna get downvotes defending AI on Lemmy - our Overton window is ^*tiny*.

A ChatGPT prompt uses 3 Wh. This is enough energy to:

Leave a single incandescent light bulb on for 3 minutes.

Leave a wireless router on for 30 minutes.

Play a gaming console for 1 minute.

Run a vacuum cleaner for 10 seconds.

Run a microwave for 10 seconds

Run a toaster for 8 seconds

Brew coffee for 10 seconds

Use a laptop for 3 minutes. ChatGPT could write this post using less energy than your laptop uses over the time you read it.

Doesn’t Codeberg have private repos? I could’ve sworn I’ve created one.

Nice!

I enjoyed reading your blog. It’s been a while since I looked at an honest to goodness enthusiast blog. Thanks for writing it!

Pretty wild that the author didn’t set up app notifications. Getting specific notifications from specific people on my wrist is a big part of the reason I use a smartwatch. But to each their own.

It’d be pretty cool to get a significant use case of my pricey pricey Garmin for ~CAD$40.

Recognizing from history the possibilities of where this all might lead, the prospect of any serious economic downturn being met with a widespread push of mass automation—paired with a regime overwhelmingly friendly to the tech and business class, and executing a campaign of oppression and prosecution of precarious manual and skilled laborers—well, it should make us all sit up and pay attention.

I had no idea that existed. Thank you.
