Parallelizing SHA256 calculation on FPGA
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article where I developed a hash calculator on an FPGA. Specifically, I implemented an SHA-256 calculator. This module computes the hash of a string (up to 25 bytes) in 68 clock cycles. The design leverages the parallelism of FPGAs…

you didnt build shit in 4 days
you yoinked a gpl-v3 code, slapped an apache license on it, and called it a startup
here’s a quick 101 on how not to steal open source
@garrytan @ycombinator is this what you invest in? yuck

Manipulating trapped air bubbles in ice for message storage in cold regions
Shao et al. revealed the underlying physical mechanisms of the formation of trapped
air bubbles and the growth of intermittent bubble layers. The bubble and clear ice
regions are dependent on the freezing rate, and messages can be stored by manipulating

Wasm-agents: AI agents running in your browser
One of the main barriers to a wider adoption of open-source agents is the dependency on extra tools and frameworks that need to be installed before the agents can be run. In this post, we show how to write agents as HTML files, which can just be opened and…

Your Exit Strategy Dream Is My Customer Nightmare | MyNotes
I found a promising tool and reached out to the founder, ready to invest and partner up. I was met with a wall of silence. It crystallized a feeling I've had for a while: for many, the exit strategy dream is a nightmare for customers who actually care.
