An article about tools and techniques used in wireless reverse-engineering.
Internal mechanisms of a TCP connection.
The article explained the working of VoIP in simple words. I'm not interested in building a personal VoIP system, but it's good to learn about the unfamiliar terminologies like SIP, ALG, DID, etc, which I saw on my modem. Now I feel more confident to I turn off ALG and other stuff.
A guide on how to create a network namespace, bind interfaces, set routes, and run programs in it.
An article on dithering techniques.
A really innovative way to store exact floating point numbers:
- for "safe numbers" (numbers whose value can be expressed precisely in floating point), store them as is
- for non-"safe numbers", store two safe numbers as denominator and nominator.
There is a lot of this method comparing to the other alternatives:
- BigDecimal: a lot faster than arbitrary precision BigDecimal
- Rational: denom and nom deoesn't blow up to extremely large numbers
And it is also faster and uses less space.
Nice visualization of dynamic math. Attractors, vector fields, fractal, flocking, and more.
An actually informative guide on prompt engineering. It talks about how to communicate format, prompt injection, how to prompt hack, etc.
What are the simple questions to ask that exploit the limitation of LLM? Interesting examples.
