I have a low carbon footprint and my solar has exported 17,000 kWh more than my usage. Please tell me again how a 0.3 watt hour query is me completely disregarding the environment

Edit: I have ai generated search engine summaries turned off… I hope you do too

I mean, who says no to that.

I’m sure people have been making crawlers for 30 years… But I haven’t been, so I’ve been able to access “knowledge” and shape it for my use case. I think equating ~5 queries to torching an acre of forest is a bit hyperbolic which doesn’t help anyone.

I might not have been clear, no I don’t think I could have done it. Or if I could it would have taken months and months of learning . This was generated in about 5 queries and a total of 25 minutes testing.

In this scenario it needs to read a 5 day forecast capture key elements and only send the email/ alert the first time and not the following 4 days(if the alert remains the same) so in my previous attempts at RSS reader apps already in existence, they didn’t meet the need.

Well, I mean it’s not all marketing and hype. I was able to get it to write a piece of code to scrape a RSS feed and email me if it met certain perameters. I couldn’t have done that without a real grind / if at all. This is effectively the only time I’ve used it, and I think it’s atrocious the amount of petty shit people use it for… but there can be a functional benefit to generative AI. Makes me shed a tear thinking of the energy demand though.

Potential to hit 113% if not curtailed… and potentially curtailed because not wanting a low wholesale price… Really need to get some storage sorted to just absorb the excess generation.

I disagree, the behavior is often a symptom, so if you were to simply shoot people like you are requesting… more people would fill the hole. Need to address culture, lack of community etc

I don’t think anyone is surprised that people who would use a machete against another human would not return the machete… however it’s more of a longer term plan to reduce ease of access to machetes over time. Yes, if someone was hellbent on using a machete they would be able to source them.
