Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

The Promise All Problem

in case of processing a very large array e.g. Promise.all(A_VERY_LARGE_ARRAY_OF_XHR_PROMISE)

which would probably blow you browser memory by trying to send all requests at the same time

solution is limit the concurrent of requests, and wrap promise in thunk

Promise.allConcurrent(2)([()=>fetch('BLAH1'), ()=>fetch('BLAH2'),...()=>fetch('BLAHN')])

If you try to print a gitbook directly, you get nothing but the contents because of their *just* use of `@media print` styling to hide away the content section of the books.

Fret not, here is the codez:
