While it's true that early Linux ARM devices where embedded and generally only supported a single configuration, they didn't actually use devicetree.

Originally, embedded Linux ARM devices used a board file with a platform bus and hard-coded device metadata. The bootloader had to pass a machine id which told the kernel which hardware you were running on and which board file to use.

You can see remenants of this in the kernel still, though it's quickly being removed. I'm actually working on a hybrid kernel with the goal of bringing modern Linux support (on an lts branch) to old MSM7x300 devices, like the Evo 4G Shift I intent to use a tmux console/cyberdeck.

On another note, ACPI/UEFI doesn't always give you a clean abstract surface to work with either. ACPI is notorious for building in OS checks into it's compiled bytecode to the point that Linux often lies to it about what OS is running.

Has anybody thought about encoding AST tokens as LLM tokens, similar to how different words can have different meanings and that's reflected in their embedding?

Also working on something similar and using a dual LLM architecture (small router, larger deep thinker) with offline models, as well as determinisitic skills encoded as TSX.

It's evolved into a mesh-based operating system, gained it's own GPU-based AI library/runtime, and even molted and extended itself to ESP nodes.

Getting closer to a full release sometime in May. For now, pieces are released on my github.

Feels like a good time to seriously rethink how OSs and UIs are designed

If that type of scanning works and discovers these attacks, why not make it part of the publishing process?

Using LLM to target an FPGA would be interesting, generate the Verilog/VHDL.

is there a link to the project, the one in the comments won't open on mobile

If it helps I've been doing a lot of projects with TSX (via OCX) as a file format.

It works nicely for these things because it already supports typed parameters and can be treated as a a raw AST without JS engine.

Its also easy to manipulate with the same library.

Because one is for lawyers? It doesn't seem like a hard choice.

Same here. Then you see SOTA in a browser from Ex0byt, online 10x training (JIT-Lora), TurboQuant (Google), etc. Just saw KV prediction mentioned in this thread, so looking into that too.

I'm adapting all of this to Rust+WGPU with compute shaders if you want to follow along.

See this repo: https://github.com/tmzt/shady-thinker

Goal is Qwen3.5 27b on a Pixel 10 Pro running GrapheneOS.

Gemini Nano is supposedly doing it on device. It looks like something similar should work with Apple GPU and ANE.

Or a grinder and a camera. See CCC of years past.

I built a MIT-licensed vite plugin (deadsimpleseo.github.io) to help with SEO for developers of React apps.

It bundles and executes a static HTML pipeline in a node vm executing within the vite process, then outputs that to a folder with an index.html for each of the .md and .tsx in your seo source folder. The result does not rely on javascript or fetching content to render, it's static HTML and there's no rehydration step.

This allows it to reuse your main app layout, headers, footers, etc.

I built it for a one page tool where I wanted crawlable links in the footer served from a standard nginx setup.
