This is notable because it's in an unheated greenhouse. Lots of botanical gardens around the world, like the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in NYC, have fruit-bearing cacao trees in their (heated) tropical rooms.

> Modretro agreed to publish the game as a physical launch title for their M64 (a modern N64 clone), complete with cartridge, packaging and manual!

The article says the game is published by ModRetro.

The article says "Something important that should be clarified before we move on is that machine translation (specifically a combination of DeepL and ChatGPT 4o/4.5) was used during the initial hacking phase for testing purposes. Once it was time to translate the game proper, multiple human translators then took over."

Fan translations have used Babel Fish or similar during the development process for decades. If the final script isn't AI translated I don't see any issue with that.

Unless the membership pages is locale-specific, I believe the Patron level fee is actually €240k, not USD.

> Masad, 38, has felt obliged to speak out about Gaza ever since, calling out those in tech who, in his view, have supported Israel’s “genocide” of the Palestinian people.

This sentence would be better without the scare quotes. Something like "calling out those in tech who support what he views as a genocide."

> It's possible to be gay and be far-right

It's not uncommon either. Ernst Röhm comes to mind, but there are plenty of contemporary examples too.

~"Minimum Wealth Cutoff for the 99th to 99.9th Wealth Percentiles" in that link reads to me as 1 in 1,000 households have a net worth over $13 million, not 1 in 100.~

edit: seems like I'm wrong

The survey defines the top one percent as "Net worth of $13,390,060 or more," which sounds greatly skewed versus what I assume is a lower median net worth at the 99th percentile. I don't think 1 in 100 Americans have over $13 million in assets.

You could use Chef in local mode and pull down the cookbooks from s3 or something.
