The author upgraded their mother's Kapsys SmartVision3 phone from Android 11 to LineageOS 23.2 with Android 16, bypassing the manufacturer's limitations and enabling features like a custom keypad and accessibility improvements. The upgrade was achieved through a combination of manual backups, debugging, and patching of the device's software.
Researchers have developed a new scaling law to improve the efficiency of large language models, which can train quintillion-parameter networks with current compute budgets. The law incorporates ensembling techniques and weight decay adjustments to optimize model performance in data-constrained regimes.
The author has developed a text rendering technique for the RP2350 microcontroller board, using bitmap fonts and a "just-in-time" (JIT) compiler to generate optimized code. The JIT compiler runs under 100Β΅s before scanout of the video line, making it suitable for real-time applications like racing-the-beam rendering.
