People always ask me how do you balance being the best programmer in the world with being incredibly popular and attractive? And I always tell them, you know, it’s not easy

Mfw I’ve decided to be self indulgent and use some energy but I can’t decide between talking to Gemini or watching 9 seconds of TV
AI efficiency is important. The median Gemini Apps text prompt in May 2025 used 0.24 Wh of energy (<9 seconds of TV watching) & 0.26 mL (~5 drops) of water. Over 12 months, we reduced the energy footprint of a median text prompt 33x, while improving quality:
