Grafana turns raw data into beautiful dashboards with graphs and visualizations. It supports various data sources and use cases, from monitoring server health to tracking weather forecasts. Grafana Cloud, a managed observability platform, can create free weather dashboards using APIs like the U.S. National Weather Service. By using the Infinity data source plugin, users can […]
In this paper, we present an innovative method called Gradient Agreement Filtering (GAF) to enhance distributed deep learning optimization by addressing the issue of orthogonal or negatively correlated gradients in microbatches. By calculating the cosine distance between micro-gradients during training and filtering out conflicting updates, we reduce gradient variance and improve validation accuracy with smaller […]
The author is currently working on a new open source CLI tool called t2x, which stands for “text to whatever.” This tool utilizes language models, both local and in the cloud, to carry out various text operations. Although it is still a work in progress and has not been shared on GitHub yet, the author […]
Declarative programming is intriguing because it allows us to model problems and have solvers generate solutions for us. I delved into the world of solvers by tackling a belt balancing challenge from the Factorio game, a seemingly simple task that is, in reality, NP-hard. The game encourages sharing solutions, leading to a community generating creative […]
AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies recently confirmed that Chinese government-backed hackers infiltrated their systems, marking the worst telecom hack in the US. The breach allowed Beijing-supported spies to track millions of people and eavesdrop on phone calls. Despite efforts to remove the intruders and contain the incident, concern remains high as additional unnamed telcos have […]
The author discusses the creation of a minimalistic Ruby compiler designed for a cross-platform game engine that focuses on indie developers. The compiler is based on MLIR and targets C language instead of machine code, with the goal of pre-compiling Ruby code to improve performance. By eliminating load/stores and branches in the VM dispatch loop, […]
The Duco Connectivity Board was reverse-engineered and found to actually be an ESP32 in disguise, offering limited control options for the ventilation system. Using hardware reverse engineering and protocol analysis, it was discovered that the system did not operate on Modbus, leading to the decoding of unique protocol messages. By adjusting mode settings and comfort […]
Kees Cook made a kernel documentation commit with the same first 12 characters as the initial commit in the repository, serving as a test commit. This has not been included in the upstream Linux tree to avoid breaking various tools. Commit-ID collisions were previously explored by LWN. Some users mistakenly referred to Kees as Case. […]
The author of this content celebrates the wonders of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the ways it has revolutionized our lives. They delve into the complexity and absurdity of AI, highlighting its ability to make simple tasks complex and predict our actions. They also touch on the rise of AI chatbots and AI-generated content, questioning the […]
