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 s…

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.

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…

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 l…

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 t…

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?
