My relevant scans are attached. The key was the arrival time into Louisville of 12:44am and that I’m west coast instead of east coast. A westbound airplane can “beat the sun” and arrive without running down the wall clock and missing the last load onto a last mile truck.

Have you tried the flight search tool on FlightAware yet?
Are you having your package delivered to your house or picking it up?

Actually pleased to say I got “
On the Way
Departed from Facility
Incheon, Korea”

I’ve had more updates today then the entirety of the previous entries
We were on the same truck from Shanghai several days ago and both stuck in ZZ. I got unstuck yesterday about this time and mine is on a last mile truck for delivery in a few hours. You might be in the same position 24 hours from now. The only thing working against you now is the time from Louisville to your local airport and (eek) traffic on the LIE. All that matters is it gets on a local truck, and the logistics between those two points are just a matter of “connecting flights”. Fingers crossed for you!

We’ll see what happens…. It has to go allllll the way to NY so I am hopeful for this weekend but if not, it’ll probably get to me exactly on the day Apple said it would in my shipping email.

How would you rate neural engine for helping create tensorflow models? Are the NE cores just similar to Google’s TPU or are they helpful with model construction as well?
TBH, I haven't used the machine for any ML models. I have a machine with a Nvidia GPU which is already setup for it. I work with TensorFlow and PyTorch both. For the time being, it seems like only TF has an Apple Silicon version. I should try this out soon.
 
I've been ordering products from apple since apple.com store first launched and ive never seen one miss the estimated date. Usually they come way sooner
That’s very strange! Hopefully Apple will send you one ASAP, probably from the stateside.

Congratulations!!!! That is some true dedication in running down your UPS driver. 🤣 I'm sure that you are going to love your new MBP.

I can't stop chuckling over your post... the BEST! 😆😂 Nice setup by the way.

Quick tips: if you are going to chase the deliver driver based on their location, be sure to bring your ID. The UPS app doesn’t update the driver location except every ten minutes or so and they will move faster than that. To get a refresh, don’t wait — do a hard kill of the app and reload it.

Drivers have a lot of valuables, so help them out by announcing yourself on approach and ask if you can get your package while you hold out your ID for inspection. Be prepared with the description of the box and it’s approximate weight. These help the driver know you aren’t there to rob them. Good luck!!

That’s because the LG Ultrafine 5k is also a power supply and Ethernet connection!
What’s the story behind a single Pair of glove? 🧤 I know it’s not cold in Denver 😂.

The MacBook is 🔥

I’m two hours ahead of schedule now on the restore from time machine!

I often have multiple machines due to clients having me work on theirs. When that happens, I have a second stand that I put on the left side of the screen, then just move the FireWire cable between them. The keyboard is plugged into the display and I put a Bluetooth dongle on the keyboard so the mouse follows it as well. Works great!

How did you get the driver's location on a map?
 
I worked at UPS years ago. Maybe things have changed since, but when I worked for them drivers were not permitted to hand over packages to approaching customers, even with an ID.
