one silver lining from COVID is normalisation of having an "I'm sick, leave the stuff on the doorstep and call me for the pickup code" option in food delivery apps. last thing I want is to give a gig economy worker this awful cold and leave them out of pocket or forced to spread it themselves for lack of viable alternatives.

It's so interesting watching Apple's Foundation Models evolve. It still really likes to use tools when they are available, but having extra insight into the context window is really helpful ✨ (Also the guardrails are getting better at last!)

A conversation between Foundation Models and a user. The user asks for a joke, and Foundation Models uses a tool to count how many letter Es are in the joke.

Hah, Apple are clearly VERY wary of cannibalising their existing Mac models with this new MacBook Neo. No sign of their usual upgrade pricing - it maxes out at 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
This is not a technical limitation: the iPhone 16 Pro, which shipped with the same A18Pro SoC had an option for 1TB storage; similarly, I very much doubt there's anything blocking the use of the 96Gb or 128Gb LPDDR5X DRAM chip (12GB or 16GB) that are used in the 24GB and 32GB models of M4/M5 Macs.

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.

I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

A couple things I'm working on:

RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.

A satellite imagery analysis conducted by Bellingcat shows that at least 15 police stations or police-related buildings were targeted in strikes conducted in Tehran between March 1 and March 3. bellingcat.com/news/middle-eas

Satellite Imagery Reveals Strikes on Iranian Police Stations - bellingcat

The US has released a list of military targets in Iran, including IRGC headquarters and missile systems. But Bellingcat has reviewed strikes against another type of target inside the Islamic Republic — police stations.

And to reinforce this estimate I've looked at the numbers we got from the users who run the memory tester after having experienced a crash: for every two crashes we think are caused by a bit-flip the memory tester found one genuine hardware issue. Keep in mind that this is not doing an extensive test of all the machine's RAM, it only checks up to 1 GiB of memory and runs for no longer than 3 seconds... and it has found lots of real issues! 4/5

And for the record I'm looking at this mostly on computers and phones, but this affects *every* device. Routers, printers, etc... you name it. That fancy ARM-based MacBook with RAM soldered on the CPU package? We've got plenty of crashes from those, good luck replacing that RAM without super-specialized equipment and an extraordinarily talented technician doing the job. 5/5

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5
