Paul has a live demo of @IloveRockchip RK3588 running libcamera on our new open source ISP drivers here at @EmbeddedRecipes. Come and see it if you're here, or DM us if you want to find out more!
Come check out our demo of the ISP on the RK3588 at Embedded Recipes!
(You can play with the light remote to watch the AGC and AWB regulation in action!)

My colleague Dan has the @kakip_yds Renesas RZ/V2H board now running a mainline Linux kernel ! Will be very exciting to see this board running fully upstream software!
This board has the Mali C55 ISP that Dan wrote drivers for 😉
With the latest Fedora-Rawhide / Firefox - (and libcamera) releases the camera "just works" in video calls now - no need to install additional packages - just upstream software at last! (running here on an ARM64 Lenovo X13s)
I can stop using custom firefox builds now!
Mobile phone SIM cards and bank IC cards respond to an asynchronous Answer To Reset command over a half-duplex UART. Pump a continuous clock signal into the clock pin. Bring the reset pin low and then high. The ATR response comes out of the IO pin...
How long do SD cards last for before wearing out? To find out we've been writing to 4 identical micro SD cards (Transcend 8GB USDD500S) continuously for the past few months until they stopped working, follow the thread to find out what we learnt... 🧵
I *WAS* WRONG - $10K CLAIMED!
## The Claim
Two days ago, I confidently claimed that "GPTs will NEVER solve the A::B problem". I believed that: 1. GPTs can't truly learn new problems, outside of their training set, 2. GPTs can't perform long-term reasoning, no matter how simple it is. I argued both of these are necessary to invent new science; after all, some math problems take years to solve. If you can't beat a 15yo in any given intellectual task, you're not going to prove the Riemann Hypothesis. To isolate these issues and raise my point, I designed the A::B problem, and posted it here - full definition in the quoted tweet.
## Reception, Clarification and Challenge
Shortly after posting it, some users provided a solution to a specific 7-token example I listed. I quickly pointed that this wasn't what I meant; that this example was merely illustrative, and that answering one instance isn't the same as solving a problem (and can be easily cheated by prompt manipulation).
So, to make my statement clear, and to put my money where my mouth is, I offered a $10k prize to whoever could design a prompt that solved the A::B problem for *random* 12-token instances, with 90%+ success rate. That's still an easy task, that takes an average of 6 swaps to solve; literally simpler than 3rd grade arithmetic. Yet, I firmly believed no GPT would be able to learn and solve it on-prompt, even for these small instances.
## Solutions and Winner
Hours later, many solutions were submitted. Initially, all failed, barely reaching 10% success rates. I was getting fairly confident, until, later that day, @ptrschmdtnlsn and @SardonicSydney submitted a solution that humbled me. Under their prompt, Claude-3 Opus was able to generalize from a few examples to arbitrary random instances, AND stick to the rules, carrying long computations with almost zero errors. On my run, it achieved a 56% success rate.
Through the day, users @dontoverfit (Opus), @hubertyuan_ (GPT-4), @JeremyKritz (Opus) and @parth007_96 (Opus), @ptrschmdtnlsn (Opus) reached similar success rates, and @reissbaker made a pretty successful GPT-3.5 fine-tune. But it was only late that night that @futuristfrog posted a tweet claiming to have achieved near 100% success rate, by prompting alone. And he was right. On my first run, it scored 47/50, granting him the prize, and completing the challenge.
## How it works!?
The secret to his prompt is... going to remain a secret! That's because he kindly agreed to give 25% of the prize to the most efficient solution. This prompt costs $1+ per inference, so, if you think you can improve on that, you have until next Wednesday to submit your solution in the link below, and compete for the remaining $2.5k! Thanks, Bob.
## How do I stand?
Corrected! My initial claim was absolutely WRONG - for which I apologize. I doubted the GPT architecture would be able to solve certain problems which it, with no margin for doubt, solved. Does that prove GPTs will cure Cancer? No. But it does prove me wrong!
Note there is still a small problem with this: it isn't clear whether Opus is based on the original GPT architecture or not. All GPT-4 versions failed. If Opus turns out to be a new architecture... well, this whole thing would have, ironically, just proven my whole point 😅 But, for the sake of the competition, and in all fairness, Opus WAS listed as an option, so, the prize is warranted.
## Who I am and what I'm trying to sell?
Wrong! I won't turn this into an ad. But, yes, if you're new here, I AM building some stuff, and, yes, just like today, I constantly validate my claims to make sure I can deliver on my promises. But that's all I'm gonna say, so, if you're curious, you'll have to find out for yourself (:

That's all. Thanks for all who participated, and, again - sorry for being a wrong guy on the internet today! See you.

A simple puzzle GPTs will NEVER solve:
As a good programmer, I like isolating issues in the simplest form. So, whenever you find yourself trying to explain why GPTs will never reach AGI - just show them this prompt. It is a braindead question that most children should be able to read, learn and solve in a minute; yet, all existing AIs fail miserably. Try it!
It is also a great proof that GPTs have 0 reasoning capabilities outside of their training set, and that they'll will never develop new science. After all, if the average 15yo destroys you in any given intellectual task, I won't put much faith in you solving cancer.
Before burning 7 trillions to train a GPT, remember: it will still not be able to solve this task. Maybe it is time to look for new algorithms.

Quick Linux tip for finding all the files that were modified in the last 5 minutes:
find . -type f -mmin -5
Useful when you troubleshoot something and want to know which files were modified recently.
