On an arm64-based mac, you can create a osx-64 environment with `conda create -n foo --platform osx-64`. However after that `conda install` doesn't have a platform flag. You can get around this with `micromamba install ... --platform osx-64 --prefix <path to env>`

I was playing proto-typing @jcristharif.bsky.social's msgspec to (de)serialize a big nested python object. Converting the object to a dict using `msgspec.to_builtins` was 50x faster than my current recursive method and json serialization was 7x faster than `json.dumps` for serializing the dict.
