oh cool! you can measure the #environmental cost of your #python code easily with Code Carbon
it tracks what hardware you’re using (CPU, GPU, etc.) and matches that up against the carbon intensity of your local power grid. They have shortcuts for popular cloud providers
You can’t optimize for what you can’t measure, so now hopefully we can start optimizing for impact on the #environment
the methods page is pretty clear. It does seem feasible to keep it running in production 24/7, so that’s cool, table stakes tbh. There’s definitely a lot of details to get right, but the team seems very intent on getting those details right, afaict. i just wish it were available outside the programming environment, e.g. as an out-of-process tool that you could run as a k8s side car
