I’ve never heard of Macs running embedded systems - I think that would be a pretty crazy waste of money - but Mac OS Server was a thing for years. My college campus was all Mac in the G4 iMac days, running MacOS Server to administer the network. As far as I understand it was really solid and capable, but I guess it didn’t really fit Apples focus as their market moved from industry professionals to consumers, and they killed it.
Explanation: “serverless” hosting platforms like Vercel and Netlify offer generous free tiers, with extremely expensive overage charges for bandwidth and processor time. When a small project suddenly goes viral, bills of tens of thousands dollars per day rack up.
Oh noooo, the coal existing because of evolutionary lag theory is one of my favourites. Continents colliding and creating wet topical basins is cool too, but it’s not such a good story to tell.
The meat industry is a huge driver of climate change. If you don’t want to stop eating meat, you can also choose to eat meat from local farmers. It will probably mean eating less of it, because sustainably farmed meat is necessarily expensive.
🛼 Yeah, RISC is good ⚗️🔥
Oh ouch. Haven’t experienced that.
This used to happen to me regularly with a Dell panel. It would turn anything white pink. I found creating a custom colour profile and playing around with it until the whites were white again solved it. Then occasionally it would decide to revert to the default colour profile for no reason.
Stupidly frustrating but I’m passing on the tip incase it helps.
If it’s trained on the average Reddit reply: $420.69, nice.
Thanks for taking the time to write that! I learned something new today. I usually take tea with oat milk, so now I’m curious what proteins oat milk has and if they act similarly. I’ll do some more reading.
You have piqued my interest on the thing of milk binding up beneficial chemicals. Can you elaborate?
Some people even put the milk in first.
Tip of the iceberg. I’m perplexed about every 30 minutes working on this codebase.

You can never hold a narcissist to their word; they’d sooner warp the fabric of reality to match their narrative than be wrong.
Any platform has vulnerability to exploit to some degree. But this article is about piggybacking on the Find My network to transmit data without actually compromising the network. It’s a clever technique, and worth reading more than the headline.

I read a series of super interesting posts a few months back where someone was exploring the dimensional concept space in LLMs. The jump off point was the discovery of weird glitch tokens which would break GPTs, making them enter a tailspin of nonsense, but the author presented a really interesting deep dive into how concepts are clustered dimensionally, presenting some fascinating examples and, for me at least, explained in a very accessible manner. I don’t know if being able to identify those conceptual clusters of weights means we’re anywhere close to being able to manually tune them, but the series is well worth a read for the curious. There’s also a YouTube series which really dives into the nitty gritty of LLMs, much of which goes over my head, but helped me understand at least the outlines of how the magic happens.
(Excuse any confused terminology here, my knowledge level is interested amateur!)
