I remember the first time I used it, feeling giddy as it spat out messy Python code for whatever random weekend project I was working on, all from a single prompt. I’m certain that in a few years…
In 2023 after the ChatGPT release, it was clear to me that research needed to be more organized to succeed than was typical within Microsoft Research .

We've identified 15,579 websites that are currently infected with malicious JavaScript and between them, we conservatively estimate that they receive more than 135 million visits every month. We know they're infected, and we have the evidence to back that up, but there's a problem: how on
I spent three days in San Marino, a landlocked microstate completely surrounded by Italy. The people of San Marino are called the “Sammarinese.”
A series of articles about bare-metal programming for x86 PC-type computers, using Linux for development.
A slight shift of focus, and the future could still turn out like Deus Ex after all…
