There’s a huge range in what it could cost depending on materials, size, length, etc.

Whitewall is the professional option. They even give you an ICC profile for their printer so you can soft proof locally and see what your print will look like. (You probably won’t do this if you’re not familiar with photo editing software.)

They mostly do non-book products, and they have an immense selection of media to choose from, and they’ll send you a sample pack of all of it so you can understand what you’re getting. Great service all around, but pricey.

A brief ChatGPT investigation leads me to think Whitewall tends to be 1.2–2x as expensive as Printique.

But some of why you might pay for Whitewall is having control over small details. This might not be what you want. If you just want to take a bunch of digital photos you have and put them in a book without worrying about the details, Printique is probably a great option. Whitewall still might win on some small quality differences. They go over a lot of that stuff here.

Whitewall and Printique are worth considering. Whitewall is likely the most expensive retail platform out there. Printique seems to do a great job at a lower price.

That makes sense, I just didn’t know if there was something you thought might be objectionable in the other uses of Claude, like through the web app.

Which part would the compliance team have opinions on?

The other answer is great, and I just wanted to add that LED lighting can cause weird banding effects. The sensor is scanning across while the light flickers, so part of the image will be lit and the other dark.

This was one of a couple things CH made fun of in their How to Sound Smart sketch

I love a wide photo. Tough to compose well, but very cinematic/dynamic when done well.

Glass.photo has some people shooting/cropping with long aspect ratios. Here’s one account with a ton of them.

In the 2000s people had point-and-shoot cameras with a strong front flash. Very specific look that’s “nostalgic” nowadays. It actually looks great, though.

I’d take a 5MP front-flash photo from the 2000s over a modern iPhone photo any day.

Good call. I think this might be wherever Siobhan’s warlock character went inside that box she carried around. Maybe I’m misremembering. 

I’ve been having a lot of fun with Kodak 4PASS printers. Basically they ship both the ink and paper in cartridges and you print from an app on your phone. I think the quality is great, especially for the price. It’s also fun to watch the photos come out one color at a time printed over each other. Also the paper/ink packs aren’t very expensive: I think they come out to about $0.30 per photo.

• 4x6 printer: $150 • 2x3 printer: $100

Plus, if I actually care about getting the best quality, I’m going to order prints from Printique or Whitewall to have better paper selection and not deal with buying and maintaining an expensive printer that only gets used every couple weeks at best.

Sometimes I like to play a game where I pick a mundane object and try to take the best photo of it that I can. This teaches composition, and how to imagine objects from different angles, and imagine what something looks like through the lens. It’s a lot faster to try out different shots in your head than running around, taking them, and checking if they look good.

For example, I was walking around my parents’ local town and saw a boring-looking wooden cart. Decided to play this game, got a decent photo of it. Nothing magical, but a lot better than it looked from where I initially saw it.

Also just generally keep an eye out for cool lighting. It will make or break a photo. If a scene has dramatic lighting, start thinking about how to compose it. Or if you’re looking for a good photo in a specific area, start paying attention to sources of light first (and their shadows).

Most photo albums don’t come with polyester sleeves. I didn’t like how they changed the look of the photos.

I think I’m looking for a nice looking, low-profile binder. Then I’ll use archival sleeves in that.

Good work! Last one is my favorite.

It’s still very experimental, but you could try using the become keyword (instead of return). Basically it lets you guarantee that a function call (recursive or otherwise) won’t use an additional stack frame.

Maybe something like rerun?

Hmm, I thought maybe the runtime reflection might be optimized away.

I wonder if deriving facet would give you the information you need to hash this way. You’d still pull in quote and unsynn through facet, but you wouldn’t be doing extra code gen per type since the one Facet derive covers things like debug printing, (de)serialization, hashing, etc. through its reflection capabilities.

I don’t know what kind of math goes into what you’re writing, but you might check out burn, a Rust ML library. They have a Tensor type that is automatically GPU-accelerated on arbitrary platforms. They also implement various optimizations like fusing kernels. Not sure if that’s relevant for your use case, or mainly just neural networks.

You can create a &’static str from a dynamic String using, eg, “leak”.

These are good! Cam Hunt on glass.photo also does a lot of these "reflection" photos.

What resources would you recommend for learning more about a particular "culture" in fashion? I know this is an overly broad question, but take "southern-Italian cultural language" for example. I quickly searched "southern-Italian cultural language", "history of Italian fashion", etc., but I don't get a lot of helpful results.

I like glass.photo a lot. It's a subscription to post there, but that means their incentives are to improve the platform instead of advertising or "driving content". It's basically just a simple chronological photo feed with basic comments if you click through to a photo.

Very cool! I got a similar shot a while ago with my brother.

Hmm, I just searched through all the transcripts and couldn't find it in Freshman year. Do you have any idea where it might be in the season? I also couldn't even find it referenced in CoC as a bit.
