Let's Embed a Go Program into the Linux Kernel

Hacker News

APRIL 27, 2024

Today, we would like to present a lesser-known feature of the Linux kernel. Instead of launching a program from a file system, regardless of whether it's virtual or not, it is also possible to embed a user-space program directly into the kernel image itself and start it from there.

Navigate the sea of data with a sail made of kernel

Dataconomy

AUGUST 28, 2023

The concept of a kernel in machine learning might initially sound perplexing, but it’s a fundamental idea that underlies many powerful algorithms. Kernels in machine learning serve as a bridge between linear and nonlinear transformations. So how can you use kernel in machine learning for your own algorithm?

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023

Multiple people have already investigated this problem and I had a good starting point, but we still weren’t sure in which software component the issue lied: it could have been the toolchain, the gdbserver, the Linux kernel or the custom patches we applied on top of the kernel tree. We were quite far away from finding the root cause.

Every Model Learned by Gradient Descent Is Approximately a Kernel Machine
