What I'm doing now

July 2026

Lots of reading and organizing.

- Found this cool algorithm that in action feels more like an art project: LLLG

- I recently jailbroke an old kindle following kindlemodding.org to install KOReader. I highly recommend!

- I also followed this guide to get root on a 2nd gen Echo Dot. Hoping to make a custom LLM wrapper for it.

Trying to be more productive with other things but I've been sick for a while. Two different things I want to learn and implement are JEPA and muon. Maybe because they have nice sounding names haha. But I've read and watched lots about these two disjoint ideas for a while and they give me a "cool" feeling. Random tinkering projects are fun though.

Oh, I also recently got my first sub-15 ao5 on 3x3. My F2L is a lot better, I think my OLL/PLL are actually part of the bottleneck now. This trainer has been awesome.
