James Cameron, maker of The Abyss, probably got the memo. But the memo read “You’re going to need to make much more successful movies before they let you do that again.”
Your username is great.

Such a shame. People who have met him have always said he was a stand up guy.
Definitely a man who pursued his passions.
RIP.

Do we? Let's compare some numbers.
Creating an average hamburger requires an input of 2-6 kWh of energy, from start to finish. At 15¢ USD/kWh, this gives us an upper limit of about 90¢ of electricity.
The average 14 kB web page takes about 0.000002 kWh to serve. You would need to serve that web page about 1-300,000 times to create the same energy demands of a single hamburger. A 14 mB web page, which would be a pretty heavy JavaScript app these days, would need about 1 to 3,000.
I think those are pretty good ways to use the energy.
Slightly veering off topic but I honestly wonder how many burgers will I fry if I ask ChatGPT to make a fart app?

There is an example link in the article. Listing more examples would serve no purpose apart from web design perspective
Well, exactly that, I'm looking for inspiration.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy https://behind-the-screens.tv. Those videos were an enormous amount of work because of all the original research behind them. I do have one more I'd like to do about this film: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/defense_play_1987 One day perhaps!
Oh I don't doubt it! I was thinking how does such a busy man have time for this... but we always have time for passions and side projects :)
The airwolf one was funny, since it was a childhood favorite, and what a funny little typo they had there.
When watching the video I was thinking to myself, could this series have influenced my future interests in ways I didn't even know? Fun.
See: https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-wa... Answer: 1 to 2 years. My previous watch from the original blog post is still running on the original battery.
Thank you, John.
Coincidentally, your web site https://jgc.org/ is truly a lovely example of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44613625 which was just discussed today as well.
Love your behind the screens stuff!
Very cool! What's the expected battery run time?

Just wondering how do you reached at the energy calculation for serving that 14k page?
For a user's access to a random web page anywhere, assuming it's not on a CDN near the user, you're looking at at ~10 routers/networks on the way involved in the connection. Did you take that into account?

Does anyone know have examples of tiny, yet aesthetically pleasing websites or pages?
Would love it if someone kept a list.
