Hardware Flaw in Apple A16 Chip: Debug Logic Active on Production Devices
This repository documents a critical hardware-level vulnerability in the Apple A16 Bionic chip used in iPhone 14 Pro Max and related devices. The flaw allows debug logic—meant strictly for development silicon—to be executed on production-fused devices (dev-fused = 0) running stock, unmodified iOS with debug = 0x0. No jailbreak. No provisioning profile. No tampering. Just […]
Memory is slow, Disk is fast – Part 1
TL;DR Hardware got wider, not faster. More cores, more bandwidth, huge vector units — but clocks, IPC, and latency flatlined. Old rules like “memory is faster than disk” are breaking. To go fast today, you have to play the new game. “CPUs keep getting faster every generation” Over the past 20 years or so computer […]
SQLite’s Durability Settings Are a Mess
One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won’t be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. […]

The web does not need gatekeepers: Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch
Do you register with Google, Amazon or Microsoft to use the web? Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch sounds like safety but it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They’ve built an allowlist for the open web and told builders to apply for permission. That’s not how the internet works. An application form is not a standard. […]
Offline-First Landscape – 2025
Introduction When we set out to build Marco, we knew we were committing to two very difficult requirements: (1) IMAP-based, not API-based, and (2) cross-platform – web, Mac, Windows, Android, iOS. We had a handful of additional ancillary requirements. One of these was offline-first, and I can now say confidently that we drastically underestimated its […]

Deploying DeepSeek on 96 H100 GPUs
DeepSeek is a popular open-source large language model (LLM) praised for its strong performance. However, its large size and unique architecture, which uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and Mixture of Experts (MoE), require an advanced system for efficient serving at scale. In this blog, we explain how we match DeepSeek’s inference system performance with SGLang. […]
