Yes using the config.toml setup

Works fine with Azure setup in the config.toml because I think it’s Codex CLI underneath!

EXO Labs are doing interesting things with LLM clusters on commodity hardware. I'd quite like to plug my MacBook next to my iPad and get the extra local AI oomph.

The ads will just become either bulk misinformation or carefully worded data points that nudge the AI towards a more favourable view of the product being sold.

I’d love to make my own scrolling maps.

Can anyone think of a good algorithm for “unrolling” or nearly “straightening” a wiggly route line so that it could fit in one long narrow straight strip?

It still needs to retain illustrative turns and kinks to help with wayfinding.

Does the glass block lots of UV?

The reason I buy cereal less is because it’s now so unbelievably expensive. I treat myself when the own-brands are on offer.

Tell that to the engineers of the Millennium Bridge in London. Resonance from foot traffic caused it to start swaying, requiring shoring up with massive dampers.

A play on macOS's backwards 'natural scrolling'? Very good!

Electric motorbikes? A considerable amount of riders I have seen have hot-wired throttles, overriding the road legal pedal-assist.

The £1M AI “Manchester Prize” seems particularly interesting.

The Tech specs page doesn't differentiate the yellow model as having a different battery to the rest of the range. I was also confused by the title.

Years ago the motoring media was very excited by the idea that electric cars could have a shared “skateboard” and then a coach-built body on top. Surely this DeLorean would be an excellent application of this - standard platform plus shiny bodywork and fancy doors! Why do they want to build a whole platform from scratch just to cash in on the nostalgia?

Take the drive out and smash it to bits.

Perhaps a little too elegant, precise, and clear... wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if this blog was written by chatgpt?

Whichever "boring" technology you're most familiar/fastest/productive with. It rarely matters. Don't waste time learning a new language/platform when you should be testing the idea itself as quickly as possible.

Isn’t it odd that Apple are not yet selling their own security keys?

Everywhere in central London seems to be becoming food halls and posh flats.

Not Soviet per se... Londoners can visit Battersea Power Station Control Room B. It's a rather similar aesthetic. Just ask at the bar to have a look and they'll let you through a little gate.

I don't have a Roomba (or have used their app) but when something annoyingly insists on my location to setup/install, I just hit "Allow Once" with "Precise: Off" just to get past that screen. Then you can turn off the Location Services to "Never" for that app in Settings straight after. Not perfect but good enough?

Wadsworth Constant, I believe.

From memory, I believe that the software from Palm lives on powering "smart" TVs.

Which model is considered by photographers as the last "best" compact camera?

Having the functionality restricted behind a missing button etc isn't new. For example, it's the same with engines where the same block is used across different performance variants when used with the uprated parts... The new bit is being charged monthly for access. If you don't pay, they remotely disable the functionality.

Just think how many health and safety forms that a college facilities team would have to go through to cut a mystery (possibly live) cable these days.

Does their response to that FAQ really answer the question? It has me slightly baffled.

AB5 seems similar to IR35 in the UK.

I have very fond memories of competitions with friends to see who could get the most free pens at careers fairs.

Lots of Fred’s fantastic TV shows can be easily found on YouTube.

Is there a modern equivalent of those shows? Nothing comparable comes to mind.
