learning AI + building things for the planet

documenting whatever happens between “I have an idea” and “oh shit, it works”

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

my laptop was made in 2019.

i bought it refurbished in 2023.

which means by the time it reached me, a lot of its environmental impact had already happened.

now i’m curious how much buying refurbished actually changes the math.

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

@TTrimoreau the ‘when nobody cared, I posted’ part is probably the hardest bit tbh

@gauraavvii Tech + AI + creating random things… definitely my corner of X 😂

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

@aditya_p23 payments in a day is kinda crazy 😭

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

plot twist: my 3 year old laptop is actually older than i thought.

manufactured in 2019 → refurbished → bought by me in 2023.

so now calculating its footprint gets weird.

do i count the manufacturing emissions as “mine” if i wasn’t the first owner?

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

i assumed most of my laptop’s footprint came from charging it for 3 years.

turns out a lot happens before you even open the box: materials, manufacturing, shipping.

kinda changes what “using a laptop sustainably” means.

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

my laptop is almost 3 years old.

no repairs, doesn’t overheat, battery still lasts 5–7 hours, and I probably won’t replace it for another year.

which made me wonder: what has actually been the environmental cost of owning this thing?

going down the rabbit hole.

@animalkyat I think I’ve been attending the wrong social gatherings 🦋

[Suhani @suh_chaotic]

@devfrom_hyd natural cooling makes so much sense, but I wonder where the trade-off flips once you factor in power availability, connectivity and infrastructure.

@softofplaces Take me there 😭

@ibos_elsa the “very social AND deeply introverted” combo is painfully real 😭

building lune has taught me that the menstrual cycle would be much easier to design for if bodies agreed to follow the neat little 4-phase diagram

unfortunately they do not

so cycle phase ≠ instructions

how you actually feel that day gets a vote too

a demolition site, eventually

minor issue with building an app that gives health recommendations:

apparently “this sounds right” is not a valid evidence base

so now the AI side quest has turned into me reading papers about menstrual health

excellent

frontend always made sense to me - it's the stuff the user sees

backend, on the other hand, sounded like some forbidden pile of code only real programmers could understand

learning it now and realizing I may have been scared of a word
