josh's harpIt really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

There’s really no place to go and just vegetate with a laptop in downtown Burlington. The coffee shop I used to go to closes at 6:00. My son is doing MTG again, so I’m just walking around for hours.

Jeffrey BergierI promise I will post full details on TinkerDifferent soon (hopefully before #MARCHintosh ends), but I have been working on something really cool.
Its a Docker based cross-compiler for Mac OS X and iPhone apps. So far I have been able to compile a single binary with 4 slices that will run on:
・Tiger+ (PPC, X86)
・Leopard+ (PPC, X86, X64)
・Big Sur+ (X64, ARM64).
Its just a simple AppKit app that draws a red window. But it all works! I'm super excited with how much easier it will be to build #retrotech Mac and iPhone software with this Docker container!
Sorry, I know the screenshots have a lot going on, but I tried to highlight the important parts.

Matt MassicotteProgrammers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.
Protopop GamesChonky Red Belly Dragons hang out near wild rivers and waterfalls, and they're just one of many creatures you can shapechange into (or encounter in the wild).

I accidentally killed my kombucha scoby because I let it get down into the 40s (degrees F). I still have some that I’m drinking through. Here are the two I had this week.
