TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
Microsoft’s AI research team accidentally exposed 38 terabytes of private data, including backups of employees’ workstations and over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages, while publishing open-source training data on GitHub. The researchers used Azure Storage SAS tokens to share their files, but the link was misconfigured to share the entire storage account, not just specific […]

In this web content, the author discusses their obsession with chili oil and provides some insights and thoughts on the topic. They explain the two main methods of extracting flavor from chilies with oil: hot flash and slow infusion. The author shares their experiments comparing the flavors produced by these methods and notes the different […]
This web content showcases a demo of “megatextures” running on the n64 hardware. A “megatexture” on the n64 is essentially a normal-sized texture by modern standards, but it allows for the creation of prebaked scenes that appear more advanced than what the n64 is typically capable of. To build the rom, several dependencies need to […]

Welcome to the world of Pineapple ONE! This open-source 32-bit RISC-V CPU is a masterpiece of design and engineering. Forget about fancy FPGA or microcontrollers, Pineapple ONE is made entirely from logic gates and memories. Our goal is to show that building a modern CPU is not as difficult as it seems. With our schematics […]
We have conducted a study where we applied Large Language Models to code optimization. Specifically, we trained a 7B-parameter transformer model to optimize LLVM assembly for code size. The model takes unoptimized assembly as input and generates a list of compiler options that would best optimize the program. To enhance the model’s performance and understanding, […]
