The author argues that starting with 6502 assembly programming is beneficial due to its simplicity and the abundance of resources available for learning. They acknowledge that 6502 may not be as useful for real-life applications, but emphasize the importance of understanding basic assembly programming concepts. The simplicity of 6502 with only 6 registers and 56 […]

This blog post delves into Reinforcement Learning (RL), showcasing its recent advancements like computers learning to play ATARI games, beating world champions at Go, and performing complex manipulation tasks. The progress in RL is attributed to factors like Compute, Data, Algorithms, and Infrastructure. Policy Gradients (PG) are explained as a popular method for RL, with […]
The Okta security incident involved a vulnerability where usernames over 52 characters allowed logins with any password due to limitations in the Bcrypt hashing algorithm. Long usernames aren’t common, but can pose a risk for some cases, like email addresses. Various programming languages handle input validation differently with libraries like Go’s bcrypt enforcing a 72 […]
