Generative AI’s per-query footprint can be small compared to flying, eating meat, or even Zoom. Until agents show up and compute goes through the roof.
How I updated my AI footprint calculator accordingly jonippolito.substack.com/p/age

Chart titled “How much more energy do heavier AI prompts use?” Lightbulbs represent relative compute/energy: Simple 1×, Complex 9×, Reasoning 30×, and Agentic 100×. Example tasks progress from telling a golf joke to writing a vegan picnic menu, comparing home insulation options, and buying garden supplies and booking a landscaper.

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

Study shows why comfort at home is more than a temperature issue
Feeling hot at home may seem like a simple matter of temperature or whether the air conditioning is switched on. But a new study suggests that less visible factors—from closed windows and blocked airflow to household routines and the different ways family members experience heat—also play an important role.
