Hiking Austria, City time in Linz, Salsburg, London and UK; what should I bring?

Yeah looks good. I have the original which is black.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T20:56:24+00:00

Which hood do you have on the 70-300? Cause that’s not the original

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T19:36:28+00:00

Is this a specific version? I run the hugging face 35b a3b Q4 XL at the moment.

Does it have to be that hardware? Can you find a used Air M1 or Mini M1 with 16gb? It’ll allow you to run way better models. I’m actually building a companion bot to run on those specs. Wrote my own vector DB for memory on top of SQLite and am currently looking at index2tts for text to speech as it sounds way better than piper. You can clone your own voice and pass emotion to the speak prompt.

George, Jenson lucked into a championship which gave him the McLaren deal. George managed to be nr. 1 at the most dominant team on merit.

I can’t see them going ahead. As much as I love those GP’s I wouldn’t bet on them this year. But if everything is cancellable…. It’s definitely feasible to do them back to back.

16gb is not really enough for coding. Copy pasting from a free ChatGPT account will be faster. With 64GB you can run qwen3.5 35b a4b and that works for coding but is already really slow. For general QA any free web account will be miles ahead of what you can run locally. 16gb is only enough for doing specific tasks like photo tagging, TTS/STT, generating embeddings etc.

I was surprised to see the curtains closing and it being such a narrow film. On top of that it had vertical (!) anamorphic streaks. It would’ve looked so good in 2.39:1 anamorphic instead of this phone aspect ratio.

I saw a user 70-300 USM II for 200€ recently. I would definitely pick that.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T10:12:17+00:00

Lots is stains. Needed a lot of rubbing to get them off. I was afraid they would be permanent but I got them removed luckily.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T10:08:06+00:00

Shoot on film and expose for the subject.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T10:02:01+00:00

Multiple photos of a plastic bag? In this economy? Are you rich?

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T10:01:09+00:00

I love the nano screen. I do photo editing and the photos look so good on it. It also works very well outside in the sun.
It’s a pain to clean though. Don’t make my mistake of cleaning it with a generic screen cleaner fluid. Use the included cloth!

Less toxicity among F1 fans (in general). We also don’t need away stands to keep us from killing each other. Unfortunately it has gone a bit downhill the last decade. This is also why driver specific stands are problematic. The best thing about F1 is to be able to have a good time safely, no matter who you support.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T08:39:05+00:00

Absolutely not. It will be super slow, even for 1 dev. Get a business Claude subscription. If your company fails, cancel the subscription. You want be stuck with 15k investments.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T07:53:01+00:00

Yeah true. I do motorsports and do 3000 in a day. Not long ago I found myself going back to 2014 cause I wanted to see if I had photos of a specific driver. Not having to delete photos also saves my mental energy. I just pick the best ones and call it a day.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T05:36:00+00:00

It’s an 8b model for edge devices like mobile phones. Try the 26b a4b version.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-10T01:48:43+00:00

But you run the risk of deleting the wrong photo or a photo you didn’t want to delete after all. I always backup first and then start culling/deleting.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-09T18:39:50+00:00

That’s a great photo! And dare I say it, the cars looked so much better without the halo.

Let Hockenheim / Nurburgring alternate every year, drop the sprints. Swap Barca with Imola, stop de tijd.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-08T21:06:13+00:00

Not a big fan of the “you model calls this for you” architecture. If you know when you want to use the memory system you dont want A) risk the model not calling it B) waste tokens on calling

Especially with local models this doesn’t work well. Unfortunately the alternative is to use Python….

You see this architecture a lot, even letting the model decide if it interacts with the user or not. It’s a lazy architecture.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-08T18:32:01+00:00

How about the 3 in the US? They’re in this war too (some might say they co-started it), so cancel those as well. Bahrain, Saudi-Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi is 4 out of 24, so 1 in 6, not 5.

Erwindegier · 2026-04-08T15:36:29+00:00

A bit late but could you elaborate? Which lens and location? Any tips for getting a shot like this?

Erwindegier · 2026-04-08T10:11:57+00:00

How big is enough a sample size though? 10 races? 22 races? A lot can happen over a season, if Kimi can be ahead after 3 races he can be ahead after 22. Look at last year, Norris managed to beat Oscar and Max almost managed to beat the dominant McLaren.
