Normcore LLM Reads

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

How to install Standalone toolchain for Android

HOWTO Cross compiling on Android

5W1H

What is NDK

NDK (Native Develop Toolkit) is a toolchain from Android official, originally for users who writes native C/C++ code as JNI library. It's not designed for compiling standalone programs (./a.out) and not compatible with automake/cmake etc.

What is Standalone Toolchain

"Standalone" refers to two meanings:

  1. The program is standalone (has nothing connect to NDK, and don't need helper scripts to run it)
  2. The toolchain is made for building standalone programs and libs, and which can used by automake etc.

(Optional) Why NDK is hard to use

By default, NDK uses android flavor directory structure when it's finding headers and libs, which is different from GNU flavor, so the compiler cannot find them. For Example:

I describe a method for making Lamport signatures take up less space. I haven't seen anyone use hash chains this way before, so I think it's pretty cool.

What's this all about?

Digital cryptography! This is a subject I've been interested in since taking a class with Prof. Fred Schneider back in college. Articles pop up on Hacker News fairly often that pique my interest and this technique is the result of one of them.

Specifically, this is about Lamport signatures. There are many signature algorithms (ECDSA and RSA are the most commonly used) but Lamport signatures are unique because they are formed using a hash function. Many cryptographers believe that this makes them resistant to attacks made possible by quantum computers.

How does a Lamport Signature work?
