The cloud can be a complex ecosystem with thousands of instances running various applications. Visualizing this environment can be challenging, but utilizing process colony graphs, or “ptree graphs”, offers a unique solution. These graphs showcase the relationships, types, and activity of processes within the cloud, allowing for easy identification of anomalies or problem areas. From […]

Old growth wood from trees 100 years ago is far superior to new growth wood in terms of stability and longevity, similar to the difference between granite and paper. Old growth wood has tight growth rings, more heartwood, and is free of knots, making it structurally superior. New growth wood, on the other hand, begins […]
This web content explores the application of Noether’s principle, a fundamental concept in physics that establishes a relationship between invariances of the action and conserved quantities in a physical system. The discussion extends this principle to machine learning processes, investigating whether similar conserved quantities can be found in discrete processes such as deep learning models. […]
In late 2022, Trail of Bits worked with OSTIF to assess cURL’s security, focusing on improving fuzzing code to increase line coverage and test more libcurl options, such as HSTS and Alt-Svc. By adding seed files, enabling CURLOPT_HSTS, and setting necessary environment variables, coverage for both significantly improved. They also identified opportunities for further coverage […]
Published in February 2024, this post is for Linux enthusiasts and those interested in esoteric programming projects. It delves into the world of Linux manual pages and the author’s attempt to serve blog posts as manual pages. By using content negotiation, a user can request a roff version of a blog post with a simple […]
Rust programming language introduces ownership and borrowing systems to optimize memory management without garbage collection. The type system in Rust, separate from the ownership model, aims to incorporate functional programming guarantees into performant systems code. Recent models such as RustBelt and Oxide seek to formalize Rust deeply, focusing on integrating core concepts into traditional type […]

Antarctic English is a unique variety of the English language spoken in Antarctica and the subantarctic islands by scientists and workers in the tourism industry. The dialect features unique words and accents, influenced by Spanish-speaking South Americans and Northern European explorers. Australian writer Bernadette Hince documented Antarctic vocabulary in her Antarctic Dictionary, highlighting words not […]
Endatabas is an open-source immutable database that allows you to store documents with full history. With features like path expressions and time travel, Endatabas offers a unique and powerful tool for users to retrieve and query data. The importance of access to past states is highlighted, emphasizing the value of immutable data. The system also […]
The use of large language models is varied, with options such as API endpoints from companies like OpenAI or downloaded artifacts from HuggingFace. A unique C/C++ LLM inference engine, llama.cpp, is designed for Apple Silicon GPUs. A step-by-step guide to creating a model starts with linear regression in PyTorch, utilizing features like training data, loss […]
