IoT botnets, the term for armies of hacked internet-connected devices, aren’t going away. And an anecdote from the field shows the gravity of the problem and why

Some of the latest Intel processors support the AVX-512 family of vector instructions. These instructions operate on blocks of 512 bits (or 64 bytes). The benefit of such wide instructions is that even without increasing the processor clock speed, systems can still process a lot more data. Most code today operators over 64-bit words (8 … Continue reading Intel will add deep-learning instructions to its processors

I’ve been in the web publishing game since it began, and for all this time I’ve struggled to make peace with the refusal of the Portable Document Format (PDF) to wither and die. Why, in…

Researchers have serendipitously discovered a catalyst that can reverse combustion to create a 63% yeild of ethanol. This can even be deployed, without any changes, to all current vehicles as well as being used as a way to better store electricity on the grid.

I've been trying to think of a way to describe how big Machine Learning is, and I think I finally have a decent one: New in the sense that it builds upon,

An inspiring DIY project for anyone who creates digital art on a tablet.

Linux bcc tcptop: using enhanced BPF (eBPF) and kernel dynamic tracing to create an efficient tcptop for displaying TCP connection statistics.

The Raspberry Pi has no power button, but DIYer Zach over on Howchoo figured out a way to use the Amazon Dash Button to reboot or shut down your Pi properly.

Whither cyber deterrence? In my view, let it wither.

Can predictive policing prevent crime before it happens? It sounds like an idea out of science fiction —  specifically, out of Philip K. Dick's "Minority Report," a 1956 short story about a "Precrime Division" that arrests suspects before any crime had been committed. Can technology make this dream come true? It turns out that predictive…

Microsoft, Google, Amazon and everybody else seems to have jumped on this bandwagon in the last year or so, but why is everybody so excited about this stuff? To understand why containers are such a big deal, let’s think about physical containers for a moment. The modern shipping industry only works as well as it does […]
