alt Hacker NewsI skimmed the original article and it only mentions the graph and says that it's "comparable to DC powered unit". I'm guessing < 100ppm difference is somewhat acceptable?

You might be right - it's just odd that it's always showing "more" rather than similar amounts.
Also, according to Claude[1] a 50ppm difference is equivalent to around 25 years current atmospheric carbon increase.
* Pre-industrial (1700s): ~280 ppm
* 1958 (when systematic measurements began): ~315 ppm
* 2000: ~370 ppm
* 2015: ~400 ppm (milestone crossed)
* Current: ~420-425 ppm
