The Illusion of Privacy: Why Your PDF Redactions Might Be Leaving Data “Naked” In an era defined by data transparency and digital accountability, we have a dangerous habit of trusting what we see—or rather, what we can’t see. When you see a heavy black rectangle covering a name or a social security number in a legal document, you assume that information is gone. At Free Law Project, we’ve spent years collecting millions of PDFs, and we’ve discovered a disturbing reality: many redactions are merely digital theater. Instead of permanently removing sensitive data, users often just draw a black box over …
Train a Pocket-Size Language Model End-to-End: The llm-madness Handbook A laptop-friendly pipeline that takes you from raw text to a working GPT in one afternoon—no cloud credits, no PhD required. Quick-Fire Answers to the Three Questions Everyone Asks Question One-Sentence Reply What does it actually do? It chains “raw txt → tokenizer → training → visual inspection” on a single machine and leaves you with a reproducible run folder. How good is the hardware barrier? Eight gigabytes of VRAM is enough for a 30-million-parameter model; CPU-only mode is also supported (just slower). Why bother when giant models exist? You can …

When Your System Logs Speak: How CoLog’s Collaborative AI Listens for Both Whispers and Shouts Direct Answer: CoLog is a unified deep learning framework that detects both individual log anomalies and collective anomaly patterns by treating logs as a multimodal sentiment analysis problem. It achieves near-perfect accuracy (99.99% average F1-score) by using collaborative transformers that enable semantic and sequential log modalities to teach each other, rather than working in isolation. What Makes Log Anomaly Detection So Challenging? Central Question: Why do traditional log analysis methods fail to catch sophisticated attacks and system failures? Operating systems generate logs like a running …
Build a Stable Mac WeChat RPA Group Chat Bot with AppleScript: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide If you frequently deal with repetitive tasks on WeChat—such as answering routine questions in group chats, logging data, or summarizing information—you’ve probably wondered if there’s a way to automate these processes with a bot. While there are many WeChat bot solutions available, most suffer from either poor stability or require additional costs. Today, I’ll share a simple RPA (Robotic Process Automation) group chat bot built with AppleScript and the Mac version of the WeChat client. It may not be the fastest or most feature-rich, but …
Youtu-LLM: When a 2B Model Learns to Think and Act What makes Youtu-LLM fundamentally different from other lightweight language models? It’s the first sub-2B model trained from scratch to be an autonomous agent, not just a chatbot—embedding planning, reflection, and tool-use directly into its neural architecture through 340 billion tokens of specialized trajectory data. In the rush to make large language models smaller, we’ve been solving the wrong problem. For two years, the dominant approach has been distillation: take a massive model like GPT-4, shrink it, and hope the magic survives. The result? Models that talk fluently but break down …
Say Goodbye to Tedious Research and Drawing: Generate Professional Charts with One Sentence Using AI Have you ever struggled to untangle the complex character relationships in Dream of the Red Chamber? Have you ever wished for a clear timeline or map to help understand historical events while doing research? The traditional approach is painful: spend hours查阅资料, organizing data, then open专业绘图软件, carefully adjusting every node and connection. The entire process is time-consuming and daunting. But now, things are completely different. Imagine simply saying one sentence to an AI, like: “Conduct an in-depth investigation into the relationships between characters in Dream of …
When Residual Connections Go Rogue: How We Tamed Hyper-Connections with Geometry Hyper-Connections promised better performance but delivered training instability. Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections fix this by forcing residual mappings onto the Birkhoff polytope, restoring stability while preserving all performance gains with only 6.7% overhead. Introduction: The Hidden Cost of Wider Residual Streams What happens when you try to increase a model’s capacity by widening its residual connections without adding constraints? You get unpredictable signal explosions that crash training runs. We learned this the hard way while training a 27-billion parameter model. For a decade, residual connections have been the quiet heroes of …
Go (Golang) vs. TypeScript (Bun): 2026 Performance Benchmark and Backend Strategy Snippet In static performance tests, Bun (TypeScript) reaches a peak of 200,000 RPS, matching Go (Fiber). However, in real-world database scenarios, Go outperforms Bun with 84,000 RPS, significantly lower latency, and superior connection pool management. While Bun immediately occupies all 500 database connections, Go dynamically scales them based on load, proving more stable for complex microservices,. The Evolution of Modern Backend Runtimes The landscape of backend development is currently defined by a tension between developer velocity and raw performance. For many, the greatest appeal of using JavaScript—and more recently, …
Master Guide to Agent Skill: The New Open Standard for Building High-Efficiency AI Agents Snippet Agent Skill is an open-standard design pattern for AI Agents that functions as an on-demand “instruction manual” for LLMs. By utilizing a three-layer Progressive Disclosure architecture (Metadata, Instructions, and Resources), it minimizes token consumption while enabling precise task execution. Unlike MCP, which connects to data, Agent Skill teaches models the logic of what to do with that data, supporting conditional references and zero-token script execution. The Evolution of AI Agent Standards: From Claude to the World In the rapidly shifting landscape of Artificial Intelligence, standardized …
Snippet/Abstract: RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) optimizes Large Language Models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge bases, effectively mitigating “hallucinations,” bypassing context window limits (e.g., 32K-128K), and addressing professional knowledge gaps. Evolution into Multi-modal RAG and Agentic GraphRAG enables precise processing of images, tables, and complex entity relationships in vertical domains like medicine, finance, and law, achieving pixel-level traceability. The Ultimate Guide to Full-Stack RAG: From Basic Retrieval to Multi-modal Agentic GraphRAG In the current landscape of artificial intelligence, building a local knowledge base for Question & Answer (Q&A) systems is arguably the most sought-after application of Large Language Models (LLMs). Whether the …
How to Master Word Multi-Level Lists with AI: A Definitive Guide to Professional Document Formatting Formatting long documents in Microsoft Word often feels like a battle against the software, especially when dealing with complex structures and multi-level lists.
