Understanding the Raspberry Pi Pico’s Memory Layout

A few months ago I started updating TensorFlow Lite Micro for the Raspberry Pi Pico board, which uses the RP2040 microcontroller. I ran into some baffling bugs that stopped me making progress, but eventually I tracked them down to my poor understanding of the memory layout.

Doom, Dark Compute, and AI

Back in 2020 Foone Turing caused a sensation when she showed Doom running on a pregnancy test.

Little Googles Everywhere

Imagine asking a box on a pillar at Home Depot “Where are the nails?” and getting directions, your fridge responding with helpful advice when you say “Why is the ice maker broken?”, or your car answering “How do I change the wiper speed?”.

Stanford CS PhD Course Choices for Winter 2024

As you might know I’m working on my PhD at Stanford, and one of my favorite parts is taking courses. For this second year I need to follow the new foundation and breadth requirements which in practice means taking a course a quarter, with each course chosen from one of four areas. For the fall quarter I took Riana Pfefferkorn and Alex Stamos’...
