JEPA: What Is LeCun’s Architecture That Doesn’t Generate Pixels

LeCun and Balestriero mathematically proved that JEPA architectures converge to the same representation of the world. We take an in-depth look at what JEPA is, how it works internally, and why Meta chose it for I-JEPA and V-JEPA instead of generative models.

Hardware Encryption on USB Drives and Disks: How to Tell If It’s Real

A Lenovo fingerprint USB drive promised hardware encryption, but a teardown revealed nothing more than a generic SD card with no cryptographic chip at all. Here’s what makes hardware encryption real, which standards certify it, and how to check before trusting your files to a device like this.

Memory Latency: What It Is and Why Your CPU Isn’t Running at 100%

A CPU at 100% almost never means the processor is working at full capacity: memory latency is the most common reason. This article explains how the cache hierarchy works, why a GROUP BY with millions of keys slows down, and how to measure the problem with perf stat.

Virtual Memory: What It Is and How It Simulates More RAM Than You Have

Every program on your computer believes it has access to all the available RAM, even though that’s physically impossible. Virtual memory is the mechanism that sustains that illusion through paging, page tables, and a special cache called the TLB.

Code Extensions: Audit Before You Install

An unconfirmed report on Mastodon about Claude Code reopens an old question: how do you review an extension before installing it? This article uses that case, along with the confirmed LiteLLM backdoor, to build a practical checklist for permissions, dependencies, and telemetry.

AI Text Detectors: How They Work and Whether They Actually Work

AI text detectors promise to tell in seconds what a person wrote from what a model generated, but their accuracy depends on the method working underneath. This article covers perplexity, trained classifiers, watermarking, and probability curvature, comparing each approach against the studies that measured its real hit rate and false positive rate.

Tinyworldformer: a game AI fits in 520 KB of RAM

Tinyworldformer compresses a compressed world model down to fit in 520 KB of RAM, using int8 quantization and a looped transformer that reuses the same weights. It runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W with no GPU and no internet connection, generating video games frame by frame.

H.264: What It Is and Why It Weighs 1,500 Times Less Than a PNG

The H.264 codec combines inter-frame prediction, DCT transform, and CABAC encoding to compress video up to 1,500 times compared to an uncompressed image. This guide explains every layer of the process with real FFmpeg examples, from lossy compression to checking the type of each encoded frame.

AI Sovereignty: What It Is and Why No One Fully Achieves It

AI sovereignty aims to keep a country from depending on a single chip, cloud, or model provider to run its critical infrastructure. The UK, France, India, China, and the UAE already combine their own compute, open models, and data regulation with different strategies.

Gated DeltaNet: What It Is and How It Works in Qwen3.5

Qwenputer showed that, by adjusting just two numbers, Qwen3.5’s gated linear attention turns into exact, addressable RAM. This article explains how Gated DeltaNet, the layer behind that trick, works, with code examples and step-by-step diagrams.
