A few notes about the MacBook Neo | Riccardo Mori

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:06:14 +0000

I don’t care if the Neo lacks an ambient light sensor or if the webcam isn’t cutting-edge — It does not feature a notch on the top of the display and this is so huge for me. I thought Apple forgot that displays are supposed to be plain, uninterrupted, unblemished rectangles. Design-wise, this is currently the only Apple laptop I can look at and can think of purchasing after the 2020 M1 MacBook Air.

“This Is Not The Computer For You” · Sam Henri Gold

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 21:45:47 +0000

This computer is not for the people writing those reviews — people who already have the MacBook Pro, who have the professional context, who are optimizing at the margin. This computer is for the kid who doesn’t have a margin to optimize. Who can’t wait for the right tool to materialize. Who is going to take what’s available and push it until it breaks and learn something permanent from the breaking.

The invalid 68030 instruction that accidentally allowed the Mac Classic II to successfully boot Up

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:11:06 +0000

This is the story of how Apple made a mistake in the ROM of the Macintosh Classic II that probably should have prevented it from booting, but instead, miraculously, its Motorola MC68030 CPU accidentally prevented a crash and saved the day by executing an undefined instruction.

My 2.5 year old laptop can write Space Invaders in JavaScript now, using GLM-4.5 Air and MLX

Two years ago when I first tried LLaMA I never dreamed that the same laptop I was using then would one day be able to run models with capabilities as strong as what I’m seeing from GLM 4.5 Air—and Mistral 3.2 Small, and Gemma 3, and Qwen 3, and a host of other high quality models that have emerged over the past six months.

Here are some instructions that I shared with my co-workers. These are specifically for Macs with an M-series processor. On a PC, skip the steps about MLX and use Ollama to download a model. Then install the llm-llama plugin instead of llm-mlx.

Apple Forces The Signing Of Applications In MacOS Sequoia 15.1 | Hackaday

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 18:57:38 +0000

Many MacOS users are probably used by now to the annoyance that comes with unsigned applications, as they require a few extra steps to launch them. This feature is called Gatekeeper and checks for an Apple Developer ID certificate. Starting with MacOS Sequoia 15, the easy bypassing of this feature with e.g. holding Control when clicking the application icon is now no longer an option, with version 15.1 disabling ways to bypass this completely. Not unsurprisingly, this change has caught especially users of open source software like OpenSCAD by surprise, as evidenced by a range of forum posts and GitHub tickets.
