QUASAR: How Saliency-Weighted Reconstruction Closes the Loss Floor Gap in LLM Quantization-Aware Training

QUASAR: How Saliency-Weighted Reconstruction Closes the Loss Floor Gap in LLM Quantization-Aware Training Quantization is one of the most practical tools in the LLM deployment toolkit. Shrinking a model from 16-bit to 4-bit or even 2-bit precision can cut memory requirements by 4–8×, making it possible to run large models on consumer hardware, edge devices, or cost-constrained cloud ins...

Overview of the RTOS Kernel Project

In previous tutorial, I've gave you the theoretical background about ARM Cortex-M3/4 processors. In here, I will explain the RTOS kernel project structure. You can access and inspect the kernel implementation from here. The project gives the end-to-end development environment for STM32F446RE with the builtin kernel. I've built a statically allocated and fully preemptive kernel. For now, it's ju...

Copilot Autofix Introduced a Critical CI/CD Bug at Snowflake. Here's How to Harden GitHub Actions

On June 23, an autonomous AI security tool walked into Snowflake's internal Jira. It did not brute-force a login or find a leaked password. The door was left open five days earlier by a commit "co-authored by Copilot Autofix powered by AI," and the only key anyone needed was the ability to open a GitHub issue with a carefully written title. Wiz Research published the full write-up on August 17 (R...

Understanding Async Programming

Async programming, short for asynchronous programming, is one of those concepts that might sound intimidating at first but becomes surprisingly intuitive once you understand the problem it is trying to solve. And that problem is mostly waiting. Modern applications spend a lot of time waiting for things to happen. They wait for APIs to respond, databases to return queries, files to be read or wri...

Authentication done right: JWT, sessions, and OAuth explained — Like a Marvel superhero assembling the team

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I still remember the first time I tried to add login to a side‑project. I’d read a tutorial that said “just store a token in localStorage and you’re good,” slapped together a few fetch calls, and called it a day. A week later I got an email from a user: “Hey, I can’t log out, and someone else seems to be using my account.” My heart sank. I realized I’d bolte...

Programming for Cybersecurity: What You Actually Need to Know

When I first got interested in cybersecurity, I thought it was all about tools. Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, Burp Suite. I downloaded them all, watched tutorials, and felt like a hacker. But the first time I tried to customize a scan or parse a weird log file, I hit a wall. I didn't know how to code. And in cybersecurity, that's like trying to be a chef without knowing how to use a knife. This a...
