Simple question: has anyone quantified the environmental impact of a Codex token?

I wish everyone here a very happy 2026. 2025 was surely tough. My new year's resolution: find new ways to enjoy life and support my fellow human beings. Yours?

Oh dear. I do seem to have sprinkled AI pixie dust on myself at work. Does anyone know how to get it off?

Unfortunately, I have to say this again: US election infrastructure isn't perfect and there's still work to do to make it more secure. But there is simply no credible evidence that the 2020 election outcome was altered through technical attacks, despite exhaustive scrutiny. Shortly after the […]

Well, having panned Microsoft Azure, I can now add Google to the "you suck" category as well. Having provisioned a 0.25 VPU device, I realized I was being charged for 2VPUs. 4x. Because I'm still in the trial period, I can't get any assistance. Bad news Google: we won't be together past the […]
