This is awesome. Where do you get this music stream?

Great example of how LLMs are eliminating/simplifying giant swathes of complex tech.

I would love to use this in a project if it could also caption embedded images to produce something for RAG...

What is the magnesium glycinate for?

YES! I worked on the FedEx Enhanced SuperTracker software from 1999-2006, which I believe is the "Version II" you're referencing. The core software was still written in Forth, but we rebuilt the package routing logic in in C, which might be what you're referring to. Very curious to know how you are familiar with all the history, did you work there or at Forth, Inc?

Technical aspects aside (and congrats on the achievement!), I love the implications of the author's "Aside":

1. An otherwise inconvenient situation (snowpocalypse) was turned into a learning opportunity. I would've probably turned it into a Netflix binge.

2. People took the time to detail the CPU design in a document. I'm always looking for examples showing the benefits of documenting design (I'm an EM) and it's rare to find one that changes someone's life trajectory. :)

Been using this since my MBP webcam died. Works well, doesn't seem to lag much.

Agreed, could probably have avoided giving away the plot here. The book is definitely worth the read!

> Just accept that regret is part of all lives.

So true, and so hard to do.

> The invertebrates that live there, likewise, are adapted to these temperatures and fare poorly outside them; bugs cannot regulate their internal heat.

This makes me think that the insects which do survive will be better adapted to the higher temperatures. Hopefully the change is slow enough they have time to adapt. And this is nothing to say about the impact of that adaptation time on other species...
