What it does

This is a version based on v2.3.7 running on emulated PC i386, native Raspi Model 3b and Zero 2, and eventually Olimex ESP32-P4-PC, using existing bootloaders instead of Oberon0 - Release Oberon System 3 runs on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 · rochus-keller/OberonSystem3Native

Filter Loading Sorry, something went wrong. Uh oh! There was an error while loading. Please reload this page . Finally it also works on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2! Here is an image of the running system; I'm using the original Raspberry Pi monitor and a Lenovo ThinkPad TrackPoint keyboard which has three mouse buttons (as suggested for the Oberon system). I attached a ready image (oberon-rpi3.img) which you can flash onto an SD card if you want to run the system on your Raspi yourself. To do so, unpack the image; on Linux, run this command to flash the SD card: sudo dd if=oberon-rpi3.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress && sync ; on Windows or Mac you can use the Raspberry Pi…from github.com

    I've been hacking away lately, and I'm now proud to show off my newest project - The Icepi Zero! In case you don't know what an FPGA is, this phrase summarizes it perfectly: "FPGAs work like this. You don't tell them what to do, you tell them what to BE." You don't program them, but you rewrite the circuits they contain! So I've made a PCB that carries an ECP5 FPGA, and has a raspberry pi zero footprint. It also has a few improvements! Notably the 2 USB b ports are replaced with 3 USB C ports, and it has multiple LEDs. This board can output HDMI, read from a uSD, use a SDRAM and much more.…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
