Linux Journey: Solving Hid Access Denied Errors for the Keychron Launcher

This article documents the author's troubleshooting journey to resolve "HID access denied" errors when using the Keychron Launcher on Linux. The solution involves creating a udev rule to grant the necessary permissions for HID device access, enabling the launcher to communicate with the keyboard properly.

背景メモ

- Keychronは中国発のメカニカルキーボードブランドで、特にプログラマや技術者に人気。VIA・VIA Cloneと呼ばれるWebベースのツールでキー配列を自由に書き換えられる。 - Linuxでは、USB HID（Human Interface Device）デバイスへ直接アクセスするにはudevルールで適切な権限を設定する必要がある。デフォルトではrootしかアクセスできないため、一般ユーザーがキーボードのファームウェア書き換えツールを使おうとすると「HID access denied」エラーが発生する。 - この問題はKeychronに限らず、QMK（Quantum Mechanical Keyboard）対応キーボード全般で発生するが、Keychronの一部モデルは通常のキーボードとして認識される前にHID経由での接続が必要なため、通常の対処法（udevルールの追加）だけでは解決しないケースがある。 - 本記事は、WebUSB / WebHID APIを利用するWeb版VIA Cloneからキーボード設定を書き込めるようにするための、具体的なudevルールの記述方法とトラブルシューティングの手順を解説している。

Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
Better Models: Worse Tools
7.5
Newer Claude models sometimes invent extra keys in tool call arguments, breaking validation in Pi's edit tool. The author suspects post-training for Claude Code's forgiving harness makes alternative schemas fail. This suggests closed RL training can degrade general tool-use reliability.
Writing an LLM from scratch, part 34b -- from bigrams to GPT-2, one component at a time (in JAX)
3.0
The author builds and trains a GPT-2 small model from scratch in JAX, starting from a basic bigram-style model and incrementally adding components like LayerNorm and Transformer blocks. Achieved a final loss of 3.418, beating their PyTorch version (3.538) and original GPT-2 small (3.499) on the same test dataset.
Flax debugging: making a hash of things
2.0
The author debugged a Flax NNX training loop where the loss was stuck at 10.82, indicating random guessing. By hashing the model parameters and comparing hashes across steps, they discovered the parameters weren't changing. The root cause was using @jax.jit instead of @nnx.jit, which is needed for proper in-place state propagation of parameter updates in NNX.
Writing an LLM from scratch, part 34a -- building a JAX training loop for an LLM training run
1.0
Building a JAX training loop for an LLM from scratch using Flax NNX and Optax. First validated the harness with a minimal "A-to-A" model (embedding then projection) before adding Transformer layers. Key challenges included fixing JAX's GPU memory default and slow data iteration by committing data to CPU memory.
