  • Run LLMs on macOS using llm-mlx and Apple’s MLX framework
    Notes
    llm-mlx is a brand new plugin for my LLM Python Library and CLI utility which builds on top of Apple’s excellent MLX array framework library and mlx-lm package. If you’re a terminal user or Python developer with a Mac this may be the new easiest way to start exploring local Large Language Models.

  • persistent.info: Infinite Mac: Macintosh Garden Library
    Notes
    Inspired by the CD-ROM library feature, I decided to investigate what it would take to add a “Macintosh Garden” drawer to the site. The goal was to allow any item in the Garden’s catalog to be loaded into the emulated Mac with one click (at least for the versions that support “The Outside World”, which is most from System 7 to Mac OS 9). I reached out to the Garden’s maintainer, who was on board with the project and even provided a JSON dump of the site’s catalog of 20,000 applications and games. Building the UI was a fun exercise in making the CD-ROM drawer into a reusable component - another contribution to my collection of Classic- and Platinum-themed UI controls.

  • Anyone with 14.7.1. Does it have the equivalent Sequoia non-developer app lockout? | MacRumors Forums
    Notes
    Sequoia 15.1 now hard-locks out any app that is not approved by Apple, including a bunch of my old and well used utilities. They can be made to run by hacking underneath in BSD, but the situation is unsatisfactory for a computer that I consider is MINE.

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

  • Cross compiling Rust from Linux to macOS
    Notes
    I set out to find a Linux-only solution to cross compile for macOS using osxcross. A weekend of pain later, and I have the following post. Hopefully it spares you a weekend of your own pain.
