- wish to learn more about other architectures of LMs, e.g.
    - BitNet b1. 58 2B4T technical report[ma2025bitnet]
    - d1: Scaling reasoning in diffusion large language models via reinforcement learning[zhao2025d1]
    - M1: Towards scalable test-time compute with mamba reasoning models[wang2025m1]
    - RWKV7-G1 "GooseOne" reasoning model, see Rwkv-7 "goose" with expressive dynamic state evolution[peng2025rwkv]
    - ModernBERT, see Smarter, better, faster, longer: A modern bidirectional encoder for fast, memory efficient, and long context finetuning and inference[warner2024smarter]
- The State of Reinforcement Learning for LLM Reasoning: Understanding GRPO and New Insights from Reasoning Model Papers
- Lorenz and modular flows: a visual introduction which is "deep, beautiful and with a taste of singularity and knot theory"
    - found Ultra Fractal 6 and POV-Ray
- found less_slow.cpp: Playing Around Less Slow Coding Practices for C++, CUDA, and Assembly Code
- found Common Expression Language
- How I use Kate Editor
- watched Implicit Surfaces (using interval arithmetic to evaluate SDFs)
    - PDF Slides
    - the ideas behind Fidget and Massively parallel rendering of complex closed-form implicit surfaces[keeter2020massively] well explained, GOAT-level inspiring
    - should be further explored in Notes on ray-marching implicit surfaces
    - there are also many interesting writeups in The Prospero Challenge
- Things Zig comptime Won't Do
- #gleam
    - Gleam that has a Rust-like syntax, runs on Erlang VM, and supports compiling to JavaScript
    - My First Impressions of Gleam
    - Gleam for Elixir users
    - Lustre
        - a web framework in Gleam
- note more about Taiji and practice more
