290g CO2eq for 1h of computation on H100-80GB.

Good to know.
Added this provocative note to my Llama 3.3 post concerning the CO2 impact of training the model, which Meta calculated as 11,390 tons CO2eq

"I believe that's equivalent to around 20 fully loaded passenger flights from New York to London (at ~550 tons per flight)." simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/6/l...

til that the name "David Mayer" breaks ChatGPT. If your prompt includes the name "David Mayer" or you try to get ChatGPT to say "David Mayer," the chat *always* crashes.

I reverse engineered bluesky's "what's hot" algorithm

Score = 1000000 * (likeCount / ((hours_since_post + 2) ^ 1.8))

Here's what works:
- must get likes in first 2-3 hours
- min 2 likes
- top-level posts
- 24hr window
- heavy time decay (1.8 power)

💡 tip: post when your audience is online
