Mixed signals, on a power budget: Intelligent low-power analog in MCUs
It goes without saying that battery-powered devices are sensitive to power draw, especially during periods of inactivity. One such use case is in sensor nodes or portable sensors—these devices passively monitor a specific condition. When the threshold is exceeded, they trigger an alarm or log the event for further analysis. Since most devices incorporate some…

Big Tech’s Mixed Response to U.S. Treasury Sanctions – Krebs on Security
In May 2025, the U.S. government sanctioned a Chinese national for operating a cloud provider linked to the majority of virtual currency investment scam websites reported to the FBI. But a new report finds the accused continues to operate a slew of established accounts at American tech companies — including Facebook, Github, PayPal and Twitter/X….

A Step-by-Step Coding Guide to Efficiently Fine-Tune Qwen3-14B Using Unsloth AI on Google Colab with Mixed Datasets and LoRA Optimization
Fine-tuning LLMs often requires extensive resources, time, and memory, challenges that can hinder rapid experimentation and deployment. Unsloth AI revolutionizes this process by enabling fast, efficient fine-tuning state-of-the-art models like Qwen3-14B with minimal GPU memory, leveraging advanced techniques such as 4-bit quantization and LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). In this tutorial, we walk through a practical implementation…
