Made a start on improving PDF organization in and out of MarginNote.

Wish to learn more about other architectures of LMs, including 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], Rwkv-7 "goose" with expressive dynamic state evolution[peng2025rwkv], and Smarter, better, faster, longer: A modern bidirectional encoder for fast, memory efficient, and long context finetuning and inference[warner2024smarter].

Watched Implicit Surfaces using interval arithmetic to evaluate SDFs; the ideas behind Fidget and Massively parallel rendering of complex closed-form implicit surfaces[keeter2020massively] are well explained, GOAT-level inspiring, and should be further explored in Notes on ray-marching implicit surfaces.
