How Github was hacked
Reading Time: 5 minutesTo understand that first we need to trace the sequence of events before it’d happened. And, God, there were MANY: Coincidence? Outages stopped only after May 26. Looks like the hackers were trying different approaches since at least February or actively pulling the data from the servers. And while the Github CyberSecs…

Was it finally fixed, Vercel?
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt seems not a day goes by without some cloud outage or critical vulnerability issue. Let’s try to analyze the recent CloudFlare outage (not again 😩) caused by the react server components. The issue is very critical. Basically any unauthorized client can execute an arbitrary code on the server.

What hyperscalers are hiding from you? Tell about recent waves of internet services outages.
Reading Time: 3 minutesJust for the last month we saw 2 global internet outages with AWS (us-east-1 region) and CloudFlare (global network outage) causing availability issues for many popular services e.g. X, ChatGPT, Spotify and even MC terminals. While the world moving forward with the AI adoption it’s not a coincidence it’s a consequence. Postmortems…

I’ve applied Neural Style Transfer to Return To Castle Wolfstein
Reading Time: < 1 minuteTLDR: It looks great but not playable. It’s aesthetically pleasing but screen is hard to read and you can miss some important details (e.g. bullet shoots or mission objectives) that hard to read due to the style is being applied. I’ve converted some torch models to the CoreML format and also…

Why Chinese LLM coding models are not Yet on my radar
Reading Time: 2 minutesRecently, we’ve seen a wave of announcements from various Chinese vendors introducing new large language models (LLMs) focused on code generation and assistance. While this demonstrates rapid progress in the global AI landscape, I find myself not prioritizing these models in my current workflow. Here’s why. 1. Performance Gaps in Real-World Coding…

Neural Style Transfer: Challenges with Apple’s AI Ecosystem
Reading Time: 2 minutesDiving into Apple’s NPU, it’s a mess! The ANE is underused and can’t handle workloads solo, so it’s always relying on CPU/GPU. OpenCL’s gone, and conversions between models are glitchy. For AI to flourish here, Apple needs to open up, support standards, and get ANE properly utilized. Good luck, Apple!
