In January 2021, while exploring Winamp skins for the museum, I stumbled upon corrupted files filled with surprises. I uncovered encrypted secrets, a heartfelt gift from a dad in Thailand, email passwords, a Chet Baker biography, backwards audio files, and worm.exe, which turned out to be a harmless game. I cracked passwords, found hidden images […]
GitHub allows access to data from deleted forks, deleted repositories, and even private repositories indefinitely. They introduce the term Cross Fork Object Reference (CFOR) to describe the vulnerability. A crucial point highlighted is the ability to access sensitive data from deleted forks, including API keys. Even private features and code can be accessed if not […]
The experimental flag –experimental-strip-types allows for the execution of TypeScript files in Node.js, transpiling the code into JavaScript without type checking. This meets the demand from users to run .ts files without external dependencies. The @swc/wasm-typescript tool was chosen for its simplicity and lack of additional toolchain requirements. It’s noted that some TypeScript features like […]

The article delves into the phenomenon of model collapse, which affects generations of generative models such as LLMs, GMMs, and VAEs. It describes the degenerative process whereby models trained on data generated by previous generations misperceive reality over time, leading to convergence to a distribution with reduced variance. The content highlights three specific sources of […]
Artificial intelligence models are increasingly integrated into various sectors, requiring a deep understanding of their inner workings. MIT researchers have developed “MAIA,” an automated system that interprets neural networks used in AI vision models. MAIA can identify individual components, clean up irrelevant features, and uncover biases in AI systems. The system combines a vision-language model […]
Algebraic data types (ADTs) are fundamental in functional programming and closely resemble mathematical algebra. Equivalence between algebraic data types and algebra allows counting inhabitants of types using algebraic expressions. Manipulating ADTs using algebra rules leads to insightful transformations, such as simplifying Choice a to 2×a, connecting algebra to familiar concepts. Connection between ADTs and calculus […]
InteractiVenn allows users to create Venn diagrams based on list unions or tree unions. Users can now show percentages instead of just counts, and mouse-over numbers will now highlight their sets. A new feature allows users to export diagrams and edit them further in Inkscape. This tool was developed by Heberle, Meirelles, da Silva, Telles, […]
