Fit this really costs tae rin

Software isna wechtless, an maist o the emissions fae a product like this are somebody else's electricity. Far we control the fitprint we've keepit it smaa. Far we dinna, we'd raither say sae nor roon it doon tae zero.

  1. This website is licht by design. Plain server-rendered pages, ae stylesheet, nae JavaScript, nae trackin scripts, nae third-party requests, nae video. The font is a subset raither nor a hale faimly, an the artwork is WebP wi a smaaer variant served tae phones. A page here is a puckle tens o kilobytes, that's a roondin error agin a typical marketin site, an it bides that wye acause the pre-deploy check refuses onything loadit fae anither host.
  2. The application is an ordinar web stack. PHP an MariaDB, that rins on modest hardware an disna need a fleet o onything. There's nae client-side model, sae naething is downloadit tae a laptop or a phone tae rin locally.
  3. The language model caas are the real cost, an at present we dinna measure them. Ilka owerset turn an ilka fidelity score is an inference request on somebody else's infrastructure. We hinna a figure for that, an we're nae gaun tae invent een or buy an offset tae cover a nummer we hinna wirkit oot. Measurin it richt is a fair question for the academic wark bein arranged.
  4. Less traivellin is the offsettin effect that really dis exist. A conversation that happens the day is a saicont appointment that disna, an aften a journey the body disna hae tae mak. That's a real reduction, an it's unmeasured an aa, sae tak it as a reason raither nor a claim.

Fit we winna dee

  1. Buy an offset tae cover a nummer we hinna wirkit oot. An offset agin an unmeasured figure is a purchase, nae a reduction.
  2. Publish a carbon figure we canna shaw the warkins for. If it appears here it'll come wi the method.
  3. Claim the traivel savin as a nummer. It's real an it's unmeasured, sae it bides a reason an nae a statistic.

Measurin the inference cost richt is a fair question for the academic wark bein arranged. If yer procurement needs an environmental figure we canna gie ye yet, speir an ye'll get a straucht answer aboot fit's kent an fit's nae.
