Just 10 months ago, NASA asked three companies if they could do something nobody had done before.
Could they build and launch a satellite to save a $500 million astronomy mission at risk of crashing back to Earth?
What’s more, could they do it in less than a year on a tight budget?
Katalyst Space Technologies, a startup founded in 2020, presented the most compelling solution.

A bold satellite rescue mission came together in record time, but will it work?

« Face à un pouvoir répressif » (2/3). A partir de 2020, les trois années de politique zéro Covid et leurs confinements drastiques ont provoqué de nombreuses protestations, favorisant un éveil politique d’une partie de la jeunesse. Les autorités ayant renforcé le contrôle, certains choisissent la résistance passive.

Introduction to D3
So far in 6.859, we've primarily been working with visual analysis grammars like Vega-Lite or VizQL (Tableau). These grammars break visualization design down into a process of specifying mappings (or visual encodings) between data fields and the properties of graphical objects called marks. They're useful for concisely and rapidly creating recognizable visualizations, while giving us more design flexibility (or expressivity) than chart typologies like Microsoft Excel. However, describing visual…

Fuzzing is a software testing technique that supplies programs with many randomized inputs in an attempt to cause unexpected behavior. It’s an important, […]

MLIR: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law
This work presents MLIR, a novel approach to building reusable and extensible compiler infrastructure. MLIR aims to address software fragmentation, improve compilation for heterogeneous hardware, significantly reduce the cost of building domain specific compilers, and aid in connecting existing compilers together. MLIR facilitates the design and implementation of code generators, translators and optimizers at different levels of abstraction and also across application domains, hardware targets …
