💸 Start with Render, not AWS
I started my pet project #1to100 with
AWS and I paid 50€ monthly for the workload setup. In February I did not work on it and I still paid 50€. In March I wanted to continue and the first thing I did — I moved out from AWS.Render has much better DX. I was able to migrate during 1 day. Now I have a
Web Service node there and a database. Both running on the free tier. Which is enough for development, even if I will upgrade my setup — I will pay less than I paid to AWS. I even got deploy from master for free, which I did not had time to configure with AWS. The only thing which is missing there is an object storage, so I have to continue to use S3. But this is fine and render has this in their pipeline.I enjoy render.com, first of all because of the convenience of the setup. Next time would start the new project I will do it there.
🦙 Try llama 3 on your local machine
Few days ago Facebook released their AI model Meta Llama 3. And what is cool — we can run it on our machines. I did not manage to run it properly using LM Studio. But I was advised to use another stuff — Ollama. This tool has swiftly. You can also easily run a UI for it, using Open WebUI.
The benefit of the model (besides usual stuff, that it is supposed to be smart) is that the generation speed is really high, it answers literally immediately. I use regular Apple M1 Max. Cool stuff to have an AI running locally!

I'm currently reading "Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams". The book is great and full of facts, though the font is small and there are not that many pictures. So I read slowly. But the author shared an interesting fact — before scientists thought that sharks do not sleep, because their eyes were always open! Sooner than later they found out, that sharks just don't have eye lids and they DO sleep.
Now you have a fact to impress your friends!
⬛️ That was it for today.
