How does it make you feel that your computing carbon footprint may be higher than rolling coal? Are we the problem?
- FollowingTheDao 1y ago> Are we the problem? Yes.
- rcpt 1y agoHow did you get those numbers? Based on the article and my searching around Llama 3.1: ~0.7 to 1.5 grams of CO2 Rolling coal event: ~10,000 to 100,000+ grams of CO2
- kroogman 1y agoYou think rolling coal releases 10 - 100 kg (20 - 200 lb) of CO2 into the atmosphere? You would need hundreds of lb of gasoline for that!
- fisherjeff 1y agoThat'd actually only be about 1-10 gallons, or about 6-60 pounds. Regardless, I'd guess it's probably only <500g CO2.
- olddustytrail 1y agoWho is "we"? I had to look up this moronic activity because I'm not American. I refuse to believe that anyone with a functioning brain would choose to engage in it. Are you saying you do?
