I bought a 28-200 for travel and it's not perfect but I basically never take it off now. I wish it was slightly wider at the wide end but it makes the whole thing feel like an (extremely heavy and bulky) point-and-shoot. I really like the versatility.

What the hell this is fantastic news!!

My friend group once tried to convince our American friend that Australians pronounce the L in "salmon" and it stuck. It's how we all say it now.

Sal-mon.

ok yay i think we're back up! Next.js static app fully on Cloudflare Pages now. was very simple to set up once i deleted the Vercel project and just let Cloudflare do everything

👏

Also TIL you can run a model across multiple Mac minis: blog.exolabs.net/day-2

If you can live with 64GB, a Mac mini with M4 Pro/1TB/10GbE is ony $2299. That's surely cheaper than 2x 3090s?

From a quick google, looks like it gets about 10 tokens/s on Llama3.3 70b. Any idea what you're expecting from your 3090s?

May not be cheaper but a 64gb MacBook Pro should do it: simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/9/l... (no idea what the performance will be like compared to two 3090s)

Also Apple make a 128gb M4 Max, which I now want a lot.

I think it's out already?

I've been meaning to set up Immich but google photos is just too convenient imo

Pls do this one and send it to me thx

After a few minutes it was obvious that this wasn't a bold stylistic choice. Like the time we watched 5 minutes of a game of thrones episode with only the music track working before we realised Turns out it makes a lot more sense if you start from the start/have the narration track enabled.

My Chromecast suggested some show on Prime at the top of the home screen, so I clicked "watch now". It started playing episode 10 instead of episode 1.

I thought "ooh this is a bold start to a show. They haven't introduced any characters, but clearly these two guys are gearing up for something"

You'll probably like what I'm hacking on next week then ;)

Is there a good video host for short stuff like this that's natively supported by Bluesky? Feels like someone ought to have built one by now 🤔

I recorded two super short videos of this in action but they're not short enough for 🦋 so here they are on ⚔️ instead x.com/glenmaddern/...

This happened to me today too!

Agree with favouring simplicity but FYI: bsky.app/profile/elit...
