I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I’m impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I’ve run into very few wrinkles, even using Google’s proprietary apps with GrapheneOS’s “sandboxed” version of Google Play Services. The main problems I’ve noticed: I can’t cast, and Google Timeline doesn’t seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).

如何用 Go 來構建 LLM 應用

Go 機器學習框架之火重燃，Google 前研究員開源期望媲美 Jax 的 GoMLX
Go 作爲一門兼具高性能與簡潔性的編程語言，近年來在各種領域得到廣泛應用。然而，在機器學習領域，Go 相比 Python、C++、Julia 等語言，生態仍然較爲薄弱。目前的 Go 機器學習框架無論在功能全面性上，還是在社區生態支持上都難以與 TensorFlow、PyTorch、Jax 等重量級框架抗衡。究其原因，筆者覺得還是 Go 社區缺少熟悉和精通機器學習方面的人才。不過，隨着時間的推移，總 ⌘ Read more
