🧮 Interval Calculator
An elegant showcase of applied numerical analysis, offering an interactive way to manage uncertainty and floating-point precision issues.
A web-based tool for performing arithmetic on sets of intervals rather than single values. It preserves mathematical inclusion principles, correctly handles divisions involving zero, and produces precision-guaranteed results for complex expressions with uncertainty.

🧠 Tiny Data, Huge Threat: How a Few Samples Can Poison Any LLM
A stark reminder that scaling doesn’t equal safety—AI developers must strengthen data validation and pipeline security to prevent catastrophic poisoning.
Researchers from Anthropic and UK partners revealed that inserting just 250 malicious samples into a model’s training data can implant a backdoor, independent of model size. Tests on models from 600M to 13B parameters showed that poisoning effectiveness depends on the number of bad samples, not their proportion. Trigger phrases caused models to output gibberish, proving that even massive models remain vulnerable to small, targeted data poisoning attacks.

🗂️ Keeping Order in Relational Databases
A clean and practical solution for ordered data management—ideal for playlists, queues, and ranked lists.
A Stack Exchange discussion outlines an elegant method for maintaining item order in relational databases by using a numeric ordering field—often a real number—in join tables like PlaylistSongs. When elements move, the system recalculates order as an average between neighbors, reducing reindexing while preserving flexibility and precision.
