Oh neat. Dries, founder of Drupal, @Dries Buytaert, is doing the the solar powered website thing. The link below points to the write up, with loads of pics and glorious nerdy detail: https://solar.dri.es/ And here's the output from the data:

Wow, this @Sovereign Tech Agency fellowship looks great - if you live in Germany and are a maintainer of a widely used yet poorly funded open source project, they basically pay you to maintain it for a whole year at something pretty close to market rates, with the perks of being an employee like paid holidays and all the rest. More info below. Please look there before asking questions Here. I don’t work for them, but I like what they do.

I'm suuuper late to the party, I know, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the 3B Llama3.2 model is to use on my 16GB 2020 macbook M1, via Ollama and @Simon Willison's stellar “llm” package. I'm referring to this here:

Llama 3.2 goes small and multimodal · Ollama Blog

Ollama partners with Meta to bring Llama 3.2 to Ollama.

And this llm package:

LLM: A CLI utility and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models

It feels comparable to the speed of using the lightweight models on Perplexity.ai, and it feels fast enough to me just run queries locally. Really nice piece of CLI design - it's a real pleasure to use.
