The official trailer for Hurry Up Tomorrow on YouTube, with Jenna Ortega being brilliant. Not surprised, just really excited to see this film.

A new Tah 2.0 video on YouTube reminds me that I meant to mention how much I like having found that channel. She feels very real and honest. The channel is quite new, just 11 videos and 2k+ subscribers so far. When YouTube recommended it to me, I think she had only three videos; apparently YouTube knew after all exactly the thing I wanted to have recommended to me...

The 2.0 refers to starting over. Apparently, she used to be a travel content creator, but that didn't feel right anymore. Now she talks about her insights in film making and storytelling itself. This is her video about starting over: youtu.be/7eE9uUU9zUY



The advantage of procrastinating is that you get other stuff done.


Yet another reason to keep calling it Twitter.


I just saw it pointed out that "X" is 88 decimal in ASCII. Suddenly everything falls into place...



A convergence of interests: I follow the MinuteEarth (and MinutePhysics) YouTube channel because I like how they quickly explain interesting science concepts, and I'm a fan of the actress Miranda Cosgrove because she's great. Now Miranda is on the MinuteEarth channel!

You season 5 will be on Netflix on 24 April. I don't know which characters/actresses will come back, the two I'm hoping for I didn't spot in the teaser.

Be prepared that when soon even more of those that blame everything on others are themselves in power, it will still be everyone else's fault.


New toy: a Laowa 2x macro lens. Comes very favourably out of reviews, also for non-macro distances. It's the crop sensor advantage that this is small-ish and cheap-ish, while still being a super-sharp f/2.8 apochromatic lens. Now I have to learn to manually focus, and to use (flash) lighting.

Glad it's winter and there are no insects about, testing out my macro lens.

Canon R10 with Laowa 65mm F2.8, either with Godox speedlite flash off-camera or the light of my Samsung phone when I had already put the speedlite away.

Except for all the other ones.



And it's that resource usage for training that is my problem with it, so I'm not happy about AI subtitles in VLC. I also suspect it doesn't work, but that is maybe just me.


So, here is the first concrete technical info about VLC AI subtitles:

* it uses OpenAI whisper model.
* you'll have to download that bit separately [1].
* vlc will use that on your computer, so it is not using the paid for API version.

So still using all the water and power to train models, and to run on your computer when you watch something that need translation.

I've been there! (It was already broken)


Temple of Poseidon is one of the most important monuments from the Golden Age of Athens. It is perched on the edge of a cliff, located 70m above the sea, located at Cape Sounion 🇬🇷

Built in 5th Century BC, the temple is in the typical Greek hexastyle - featuring six doric columns on the front portico. 16 out of the original 38 columns are still standing today, and they were 20ft tall.
