Haha! I was going to post the same thing.

Zenodot โ€” Find book translations across languages Discover book translations across languages. A documentary tool for readers worldwide.

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language?
Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries.
So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together.

Theyโ€™ve increased it substantially. Not as high as a h100, but when I priced up a system with one of them in (and enough ram) it was twice the MBP. Will try and remember this thread when it arrives an I can tell you how well it works.

It will probably depend on use case. Iโ€™m upgrading to a new m5 max with 128gb ram. Intrigued to see how effective it will be for local inference tasks.

Local ai is also catching up. I would imagine in two years time a Mac Studio in an office will run the larger models and serve requests for a small business. Much like businesses used to have a server in the office in the late 90s.

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases โ€œDepartment of Warโ€ or โ€œSecretary of Warโ€ without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

Vampires killed by sunlight.
Superman killed by kryptonite.
Right-wingers killed by accountability for the Epstein files.

Vampires killed by sunlight. Superman killed by kryptonite. Right-wingers killed by accountability for the Epstein files.

The Epstein War continues to distract from the truth.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

08.03.2026 11:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 4227 ๐Ÿ” 779 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 288 ๐Ÿ“Œ 80

I think this is the moment Labour expunges its last vestiges of starry-eyed Blairism (which in my opinion, Iraq aside, is a bit of shame).

But I can't imagine any future leadership contender invoking the spirit of Blair.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britainโ€™s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all thisโ€ฆ

The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war.

Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."

Maybe if Starmer showed this sense of humour more often, people would like him a bit more.

In defence of hand-wringers and pearl-clutchers To surrender the fight for international law is to accept worse outcomes and more civilian deaths

Those who are careless of international law are too often careless of the consequences of war: military, economic, political and human.

And as Trump has demonstrated, contempt for international law is often matched by a disregard similar disregard for rights at home

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.
