50 years of Apple, 50 years of innovation. Thank you to our teams, our users, and everyone who’s been part of the journey. #Apple50

I've contributed a TLA+ formatter to the official tlatools. It is also integrated into the VS Code extension. In this article I want to share a few thoughts on what I've learnt along the way about what it takes to write a formatter: blog.fponzi.me/2026-03-30-a-p…

In this report we describe the 2025 Apple Foundation Models ("AFM"). We also introduce the new Foundation Models framework, which gives app developers direct access to the on-device AFM model. machinelearning.apple.com/research/apple…

People with the most to teach live like they have the most to learn — and Steve loved learning. He was the most curious person I’ve ever met, which made him the best teacher I’ve ever known. Happy birthday, my friend.

@ConiaSimone @Apple @yunyao_li Congratulations and welcome! 🎊

First day at @Apple! Looking forward to working with the amazing Knowledge Platform team! And many thanks to @yunyao_li for making this internship possible!

Steve showed us all, again and again, that a great idea really can change the world. Remembering him today and always.

Today is my 73nd birthday, meaning I’m now 72 years old. I have to count 0 as a birthday too. 72 is a poetic number. 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 (2 ^ 3) * (3 ^ 2) Actually, the Earth is in the same position around the sun as when I was born, tomorrow, August 12. See you next year!

@domenicopanacea Non potrei essere più d’accordo

Maledetta l’estate. A me piaceva solo ai tempi della scuola, per le vacanze. Ora, per quanto mi riguarda, è solo foriera di disagi per le temperature e più lavoro (ma lo stipendio non cambia!). Pertanto (non me ne frega nulla se mio giudizio antipopolare) la maledico! Ma finirà😈

@IndigouFox The bom should be updated, the parts number are just references, I used the HC variants but you can also go for the higher speed ones

@FScozzafava Would you happen to have an updated BOM for the MK1 V 2.0b? the column for LCSC is blank and if I just upload the file it shows all parts are discontinued.

@mkj84655 Well, basically put the components in the right spot according to the BOM, program the 4 EPROMs with the provided microcode and you should be good to go. There’s no step by step procedure at the moment

@FScozzafava Federico, are there any instructions on building the MK1 computer? thank you Mike

@mkj84655 Here you go @mkj84655 github.com/vascofazza/8bi…

@mkj84655 Hi @mkj84655, sure thing! Let me extract it

@zackfreedman Life’s too short for that

Wipe your nozzle and clean your bed before EVERY PRINT

@zackfreedman I love your MiRage project, are you planning to keep working on it?

DOOM... on an ultrasound scanner.
