After open-sourcing the 1B and 3B models of Llama 3.2 in September, Meta released quantized versions of these models on October 24th, which reduce model size by an average of 56%, RAM usage by an average of 41%, and model speeds by a factor of 2 to 4, while lowering power consumption so that these models can be deployed to a wider range of mobile devices. Model Quantization is the process of converting floating-point models to fixed-point models through various training methods, which compresses the model parameters and reduces the complexity of the model so that it can be run on lighter platforms. These quantized models are faster, use less RAM, and consume less power than the non-quantized Llama BF16 models, while maintaining nearly the same accuracy as the Llama BF16 version.Although the quantized Llama 3.2 1B and 3B models only support a context of 8,000 tokens (compared to 128,000 tokens for the original models), Meta's testing found that benchmark results for both the quantized versions of Llama QLoRA and Llama SpinQuant are actually quite comparable to the original Llama BF16 version. However, Meta's testing found that both the quantized versions of Llama QLoRA and Llama SpinQuant actually benchmarked well against the original Llama BF16 version. Currently, Meta has tested these quantized models on mobile platforms such as the One Plus 12, Samsung S24+/S22, and Apple iOS devices (no specific model announced), with “good results,” and the researchers plan to improve the performance of these quantized models with neural processing units (NPUs) in the future.

On July 21, Microsoft released a recovery tool to fix Windows devices that crashed due to a buggy CrowdStrike update. Previously, a buggy update to CrowdStrike caused 8.5 million Windows devices around the world to crash on the blue screen. The new tool creates bootable USB drives that administrators can use to quickly restore affected machines. While CrowdStrike has released an update to fix the software, not all machines will automatically receive the update. Microsoft's recovery tool boots the Windows PE environment via USB, accesses the affected machine's disk, and automatically deletes the problematic CrowdStrike files. Without having to enter Safe Mode or have administrator rights to the machine, the tool can directly access the disk without booting the local Windows system. If the disk is protected by BitLocker encryption, the tool will prompt you to enter the BitLocker recovery key and then proceed to repair the CrowdStrike update. Repair tool.

Since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, gamers have been suggesting many improvements and feature requests for the popular shooter. Most recently, an otherwise cool gun loading animation has become a target for players, who have demanded that the developer remove the feature from the game.Many players have complained that in small maps such as the Rust Zone and the Freight Dock, the respawn gun loading animation can easily expose players to enemy fire, resulting in unnecessary deaths.Some players have suggested a solution: a quick double-tap on the "Y" or "triangle" button on the joystick can stop the animation completely. Despite this, players are still baffled by the animation playing every time they respawn.

The fact that comics bring words to life in a graphic, vivid way has always been popular with children and is a great way to guide them through reading.One of the popular types of comics for children are usually four-panel comics and multi-panel comics. Four-panel comics tell a story through four pictures with simple text. Multi-panel comics are usually more complex in terms of composition, arrangement, and text, and require finding the correct order during the reading process, as well as speculating on the order in which conversations will take place when multiple conversations occur in a single picture. Whether it is four-panel comics or multi-frame comics, when reading, readers need to learn to read the pictures while reading the text, analyze the characters' expressions, actions, environments, etc., and make certain conjectures and judgments about the storyline. When analyzed in this way, we find that reading comics is not as easy as we think, but requires the mobilization of a variety of reading skills. And reading comics requires more quietness of mind and more patience on the part of the child.
Anime belongs to the cultural industry, which is an essential part of life. Why do so many people enjoy watching anime as well as animation?Common cultural industries are books, newspapers, movies, television, internet, sports, entertainment and so on. Because they are closely related to our actual life, most people may be more acceptable, but animation comics, that is, what we call secondary culture, may be far from our actual life at first glance, so it is difficult for people to accept it for a while. But those who like it like it very much, so it can be said that the polarization is more serious.In fact, anime and manga is also a way of expressing thoughts. Many people like to read anime and manga also because we can find resonance in these worlds, but also to make up for some of the things lost within themselves. Whether it's the peace of mind that comes from watching daily funny stories in your spare time, or the warmth that comes from watching healing stories when you're sad, or the bloodthirsty stories that come with your life when you're lost, I believe that's the reason why people love anime and manga. Moreover, the anime and manga industry will experience prosperity and winter just like other industries, and the success factor of their attraction is also worth learning from other industries.Regardless of which type of industry, we do not necessarily agree with it, but we can accept them and give them hope, so that they will be motivated to develop in a better direction.
