@demishassabis According to Gemini:
Google has estimated that the median Gemini Apps text prompt uses 0.24 watt-hours (Wh) of energy.
That is a lot of power that you are eating up!
ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows.
in that time:
- facebook went down for 14 hours
- aws kinesis froze for 17
- cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters
- alt L1s…well, you know.
every centralised giant blinks, they rely on on-call humans and scheduled downtime.
but ethereum never stops, not through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and every kind of drama the internet can throw at it.
and it’s not thanks to a CEO or a hotline.
it’s not because someone saved it.
it’s because we all did.
devs, stakers, researchers, users,
millions of us, scattered across the world, choosing to show up, block after block, year after year.
while banks fail, clouds go dark and servers get patched, ethereum keeps going.
we keep going.
ten years online.
forever to go.
🇵🇹 A good time to finally launch https://t.co/ijv8M3FX4T where we anonymously record the incredibly Kafka-esque experiences with bureaucracy and companies here

If we want to improve things, good to record what isn't good!

@laurentzeimes @totlsota@wintermute_t Currently learning cosmos, docs are so sparse on some details, a real pain. At the same time it also makes it fun to go figuring out the pieces... but not really sleeping due to the 2am marathons asking "why doesn't this just work!"
@jfougner@RobertJShiller I guess this request has happened many times but, 10+ years have passed, will there be a second class? https://t.co/nXdM6iuITa
@ThreeUKSupport struggling to get internet in central London. These failures keep happening. Besides unable to connect to most TFL stations WiFi. What is happening?!
Some languages have 1 engineer. Others have 30. Who pays these salaries? Why?
Does this put any boundaries on language design or development practices?

@SkyHelpTeam apparently there is an issue in my area (Kew Gardens), the notification on the service checker says it might take a few days?!?! Can we have a more specific date for this? A few days is a bit too much to keep paying.
