Where the energy actually goes

Where the energy actually goes syllabus

Climate and computing, done with a plug meter and a grid API instead of a position. Every lesson ends with a figure about your own machine.

Module 0 — Measure your own

Free. A plug meter costs less than a takeaway and settles more arguments.

  1. The unit is joules — Ratios without magnitudes mislead in both directions, and almost every public figure is a ratio. (20 min)
  2. Put a meter on it — Your own machine, your own workload, your own grid, at the hour you actually ran it. (25 min)
  3. The rebound — Efficiency and total consumption are separate variables, and confusing them is how good news becomes wrong news. (20 min)
