TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
The blog post is like a search query to uncover interesting people and content. Start publishing your thoughts regularly without overthinking it. Begin with short posts on an existing platform, maybe even under a pseudonym. Don’t waste time overthinking or procrastinating, like I did with this post ten years in the making. Keep it simple, […]

Before HTML5, developers used framesets to create SPA-like functionality with multiple frames each with a unique name. The target attribute in tags tells the browser which frame to load the content into, for example, target=”content”. If a frame with the target name doesn’t exist, the browser creates a new window with that name. To avoid […]
SYS.COM caused issues with NetDrive images due to a bug in DOS 3.3’s SYS command. The command changed the BPB in the image’s first sector, corrupting it. This was a result of DOS 3.2’s “Generic IOCTL” function not being supported by NetDrive, causing SYS.COM to write incorrect data. The bug stemmed from SYS.COM not checking […]
Microsoft Corp. has canceled some US data center leases for AI capacity, leading to concerns about potential oversupply. TD Cowen reported that Microsoft voided leases totaling “a couple of hundred megawatts,” equivalent to two data centers, with private operators. The reason for the lease cancellations is unclear, but it may be related to OpenAI shifting […]

The author stumbled upon an apartment building with an intriguing access control panel from “MESH by Viscount” and decided to investigate further. Shockingly, default credentials gave access to sensitive information like residents’ full names, unit numbers, and even phone numbers. The ability to register new access fobs, disable existing ones, and unlock entrances easily was […]
Engineering researchers have developed artificial intelligence that can design complex wireless chips in hours, a task that would take humans weeks. The AI approaches the design process in a radically different way, creating more efficient chip designs that human designers wouldn’t likely develop. The study, published in Nature Communications, focused on millimeter-wave wireless chips used […]
This web content provides a basic and intuitive introduction to stochastic calculus, focusing on Brownian motion and its applications in various fields. It avoids complex formalisms and emphasizes physical intuition, discussing the emergence of stochastic calculus from the real world. The author highlights the application of stochastic calculus in modeling stock prices, biology, and physics, […]
The orchid Oreorchis patens has a unique ability to shift its fungal symbionts to those decomposing wood, resulting in increased nutrient uptake without stopping photosynthesis, leading to bigger plants and more flowers. This behavior challenges the traditional understanding of orchid-fungi relationships, with less than 10% of orchids exhibiting parasitic behavior. The discovery by Kobe University […]
The author discusses the computation of sums and maximum values for sliding windows of a list. By utilizing the sliding window technique, the author demonstrates how to efficiently compute these values in linear time. The implementation of monoidally-annotated stacks and queues is explored, showcasing how to build a queue using two stacks for (O(1)) amortized […]
