@ptesarik @ljs @agilegeoff Worth what? Language models are pretty useful for speech recognition and automatic translation, at least. So improving LLMs will lead to improvements in that area, at least. Translating C to JavaScript is stretch, but I used that, too. LM research was stalled for 20+ years, now its moving. Good, I guess :-).

Looking for operating system; preferably simple&opensource one. DOS-class, that is has filesystem and runs programs from filesystem, but single-tasking, without user/kernel protection. For machines with > 16MB RAM we have linux. I'm looking for something for machines between 128KB and 16MB. Extra point if it is not too ugly and is Unix-style, 8.3 naming convention is close to disqualifying DOS...

@jiska Dunno. Location tracking is easy to do on mass scale, while you are defending against targeted attacks. The location tracking data are collected, and they'll probably find a way to bad hands sooner or later. I'd prefer not to be part of that database. Anyway, if you ever find phone that can lock on given BTS, I'll be very interested :-).

@martijnbraam Ok, I'll keep looking. So far it looks to me like even megapixels are limited to 8.5 fps on mobian I'm using.

lds and Makefile, and I have code running bare-metal (ok, s-mode) on risc-v. Wow. Easier than expected. https://gitlab.com/tui/tui/-/tree/master/vroot?ref_type=heads

@airtower Is rtl8723cs very different from rtl8723bs? Anyway I guess understanding if existing driver can be adapted is the first step. Not sure about good introductions, but network drivers are conceptually quite simple, and wifi is not an exception. Good luck :-).

@martijnbraam I'm debugging low framerates with main camera on PinePhone. I can't convince libcamera to get more than 8.5 fps. So I tried megapixels, I could not clone from main site, so I have:
519570a267ad8e70c16f45c7157ac195f57c4c66 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Remove calibration data for PP front camera (MR 34)
Preview looks nicely smooth, but AFAICT it is around 7fps. I'm on mobian. Any idea of possible causes / how to debug that?

@monsieuricon Actually it should be "add" and "del", as Alpine does. Having to type "apt-get install" feels wrong after experience with alpine.

@gregkh @Logical_Error Having kernel sources does not mean bootloader is not locked, for example. We are not protected by GPLv3. List of Android phones usable with custom kernels is not that long, basically OnePlus 6 or Droid 4, see https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices for details.

@krcmar Hele nevim. Android je spyware od googlu, a trochu bych se divil kdyby bankovni aplikace nespehovala (nebude open-source, ze?). Plus vyrobci telefonu... rekneme... nejsou s bezpecnosti tak poctivy jako Linuxove distribuce. Mam dve zarizeni -- relativne bezpecne PC a neprilis bezpecny telefon, a utocnik by musel kontrolovat obe. S bankovni aplikaci mu staci kontrolovat jedno... Chapu ze SMS nejsou uplne bezpecne (ale to spousta bankovnich veci taky neni, treba m-bank si s bezpecnosti hlavu v podstate nelame), ale porad to jsou dve zarizeni misto jednoho.

@libcamera But it seems ov64a40 driver is not yet supported by mainline kernel, yet, so there's still more work to do?

@ptesarik @cas @kernellogger @gregkh CIP project maintains 4.4 and 4.19. Feel free to use our kernels, and feel free to join the project.

@molly0xfff Copyright was meant to "promote useful arts". Original copyright (14 years or so) may have done that, current one blocks innovation if anything. If it blocks language model developement, it is one more reason to fix the copyright.
