Yes, you can use a disk image URL (if it’s not from an already-allowed domain, let me know and I can add it)

Though most of the software is from the Macintosh Garden, so downloading it directly from there to your 9.2.2 machine may be even easier. You can browse around github.com/mihaip/infin... and see where items are loaded from.

Not directly (over the internet). Best option is to copy what you want to Saved HD and export that to a BlueSCSI image. www.youtube.com/watch?v=caHs... explains how.

And for a behind the scenes look, there's a blog post: blog.persistent.info/2025/07/infi... (spoiler: Marcin was the instigator for all this, conducted over a months-long 100+ message email thread)

Another demo is my Infinite Monkey: infinitemac.org/monkey/

It lets OpenAI's or Anthropic's computer use models control an emulated Mac, based on your chat instructions.

This means that it's possible to run @simonwillison.net's "draw me a pelican riding a bicycle" test in 1984's MacPaint 1.0.

blog.persistent.info/2025/03/infi... is a blog post with technical details (two separate emulators are involved) and the complete collection is at infinitemac.org?filter=macosx.

More seriously, it's been great to be at Sierra from the start and get to influence the engineering culture in such a fundamental way. I know tech company blog posts can paint overly rosy pictures, but Gardening Week is genuinely one of my favorite parts about working here.

The turducken phase was certainly a mind-bender. I wrote up a few more details at blog.persistent.info/2023/07/slac...

.patch also works if you need to email your change to a mailing list like it’s 1994 (more usefully, you can use `git apply` with it if you don’t want to be bothered with syncing remote branches)

Thanks for continuing to experiment with this. I just listened to your Flipboard podcast interview -- I hadn't realized the "nerd HOA" contingent of the Fediverse went after you. The episode also reminded me check whether I was opted into Mastodon search (surprise, I was not).

Did @bradfitz.com and Maisem run out of Cyrillic letters for their views codegen shenanigans?

I see the Sneakers Easter eggs have continued.
