My home computer batch processing prompts thru Stable Diffusion can generate and then nicely upscale images at at rate of about 1 every 5 seconds. Or 360 per half-hour. Which means a newly image on the display every day to look at for a year in just an half hour of computation.

At about 300W of GPU + 120W of PC, that is 420W * 0.5hrs = 0.210kWhr. This is a rounding error on my monthly electric bill. About six cents.

I've spent more energy than that likely just sitting and reading HackerNews this week.

I would like all my future electricity bills to be calculated in terms of "HackerNews Read time"

It's absolutely mind blowing to think the whales will be able to do this in early 70s.

I can only wonder if what could be possible by today's hardware and monitoring techniques.

There's a Wikipedia article on marine animal training : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mammal_training

Ha. I made The Most Dangerous Writing App for that very purpose (sold it a few years ago after it became an unlikely success), I love finding other peoples home made writing tools! Thanks for sharing Enso!

Thank you so much for making it, when I started getting into the habit of digital journal, it had helped me a lot to not fix grammar and to not cringe at the things I've just written down.

As the original 14 year old on the internet (see my entry in the NET.LEGENDS FAQ), I'm glad 14 year olds on the internet are still going strong - and making a better go of it than I did.
