Winbond NAND ECC algorithm

Reverse engineering proprietary algorithms can be such a chore. So why not outsource that tedious work to the machines? Here’s how “I” reverse engineered an ECC algorithm for Winbond NANDs.

Emergent parrots

When you get enough complexity, predictability goes down. LLMs are showing emergent behavior difficult to gauge from dismissing them as being autocompletes on steroids.

Vibe coding results

Vibe coding is the name given to just prompting an LLM to implement according to your directions. In this post I detail what my experience is after having done just that, viewed from the point of a senior Software Engineer and Cybersecurity expert.

The Coming Cognitive Disbelief

Both humans and large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally statistical pattern-matching systems with no inherent consciousness or "magic"
