Working with BGAs: Soldering, Reballing, and Rework Hackaday
In our previous article on Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs), we explored how to design circuit boards and how to route the signals coming out of a BGA package. But designing a board is one thing soldering those chips onto the board is quite another. If youve got some experience with SMD soldering, youll find that any SOIC, TQFP or even QFN package can be soldered with a fine-tipped iron and a bit of practice. Not so for BGAs: well need to bring out some specialized tools to solder them correctly. Today, well explore how to get those chips on our board, and how to take them off again, without spending a fortune on equipment.
Tools of the Trade
For large-scale production, whether for BGA-based designs or any other kind of SMD work, reflow ovens are the tool of choice. While you can buy reflow ovens small enough to place in your workshop (or even build them yourself), they will a...

Nvidia Speeds Key Chipmaking Computation by 40x IEEE Spectrum
Nvidia says it has found a way speed up a computation-limited
step in the chipmaking process so it happens 40 times as fast as
todays standard. Called inverse lithography, its a key tool to
allow chipmakers to print nanometer-scale features using light with
a longer wavelength than the size of those features. Inverse
lithographys use has been limited by the massive size of the needed
computation. Nvidias answer, cuLitho, is a set of algorithms
designed for use with GPUs, that turns what has been two weeks of
work into an overnight job.
The technology will allow fabs to increase throughput, reduce their carbon footprint, and set the foundations for 2-nanometer [manufacturing processes] and beyond, said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the Nvidia GTC developer on Tuesday.
Leading logic chip foundry TSMC will be qualifying cuLithos use in production starting in June, said Huang. Design automation software firm Synopsys plans to integrate software, too, and lithography equipment maker ASML plans to support cuLitho in its products as well.
Photolithography is basically the first step in the chipmaking process. It involves bouncing light off of a pattern called a photomask to project the forms of transistor structures and interconnects onto the wafer. (More mature technology uses transmissive photomasks instead of reflective ones, but the idea is the same.) It takes 98 photomasks to make an H100 GPU, Jensen said. The features projected from the photomask are smaller than the wavelength of light used193 nanometers for the relatively large features and 13.5 nanometers for the finer bits. So, without the aid of tricks and design rules collectively called optical proximity correction, youd only get a blurry mess projected on the wafer. With optical proximity correction, the designs on the photomask only vaguely resemble the pattern of light at the chip.
With the need for finer and finer features, the corrected shapes on the photomask have become more and more elaborate and difficult to come up with. It would be much better to start with the pattern you want on the wafer and then calculate what pattern on the photomask would produce them. Such a scheme is called inverse lithography. Simple as it sounds, its quite difficult to compute, often taking weeks to compile.
In fact, its such a slog that its often rese...

Rare Cosmic Event Will See 5 Planets Align in The Sky. Here's How to Watch. SoylentNews
Don't miss the planet parade taking place at the end of March:
Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars are set to align in an arc formation on the nights of March 25 through 30, alongside the Moon.
Jupiter may sink into the sunset and get lost in sunlight after the 28th, though, so aim to see this relatively rare cosmic event by then.
If you want to spot all five planets in one night, timing, dark skies, and a clear view of the horizon are key.
[...] Shortly after the Sun dips below the horizon, look to the west. Low in the sky, where the Sun just set, Jupiter and Mercury will appear side-by-side.
Dwindling sunlight might make them hard to see with the naked eye. So, if you can't spot them at first, try binoculars. Just make sure the Sun is below the horizon so you don't potentially harm your eyes by looking at it through binoculars.

Researchers detail groundbreaking Angelman syndrome development Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed the first molecular therapeutic for Angelman syndrome to advance into clinical development.
In a new article, published today in Science Translational Medicine, Dr. Scott Dindot, an associate professor and EDGES Fellow in the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, and his team share the process through which they developed this novel therapeutic candidate, also known as 4.4.PS.L, or GTX-102. Dindot is also the executive director of molecular genetics at Ultragenyx, which is leading the development of GTX-102.
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a devastating, rare neurogenetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 15,000 live births per year; the disorder is triggered by a loss of function of the maternal UBE3A gene in the brain, causing developmental delay, absent speech, movement or balance disorder, and seizures.

Feral Hogs Are the Invasive Menace You've Never Thought About SoylentNews
Think of the worst invasive species you know. Kudzu: smothering trees and houses, growing a foot a day. Burmese pythons: stripping the Everglades of small animals. Asian carp: hoovering streams clean of plankton and swimming toward the Great Lakes.
They all came from somewhere else, arrived with no natural predators, outcompeted local flora and fauna, and took over whole ecosystems. But they all have their limitations: Kudzu dies in a hard freeze, carp can't tolerate salt water, and pythons can't cover long distances very fast. (Thankfully.)
Now imagine a species with all those benefitsforeign origin, no enemiesand no roadblocks to dominance: One that is indifferent to temperature, comfortable in many landscapes, able to run a lot faster than you, and muscular enough to leave a big dent in your car. That describes any of the possibly 6 million feral hogs in the United States, the most intractable invasives that most people have never heard of.

USDA research estimates that, on their own, hog populations will expand their range by about 4 to 8 miles per year. But Mayer jokes darkly that they have relocated at "about 70 miles per hourwhich is the speed of the pickups taking them down the highway."

Startups 3D-printed rocket delivers stunning night launch but fails to reach orbit Lifeboat News: The Blog
(CNN) Startup Relativity Space sent what its calling the worlds first 3D-printed rocket toward space on Wednesday, vaulting it into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Though, it suffered an engine issue after launch and failed to reach orbit.
Terran 1, a 110-foot-tall (33.5-meter) vehicle designed to haul lightweight satellites into orbital space, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Floridas eastern coast at just before 11:30 pm ET. The rocket, powered by super-chilled methane and oxygen, burned a bright blue-green against the night sky.
After the first stage of the rocket the bottommost portion of the rocket that gives the initial thrust at liftoff expended its fuel, it detached from the rockets upper stage. But the engine meant to propel that portion appeared to ignite only briefly, leaving the rocket without enough power to reach orbit.

Smart Occupancy Sensor Knows All Hackaday
In the last few decades, building engineers and architects have made tremendous strides in improving the efficiency of various buildings and the devices that keep them safe and comfortable to live in. The addition of new technology like heat pumps is a major factor, as well as improvements on existing things like insulation methods and building materials. But after the low-hanging fruit is picked, technology like this smart occupancy sensor created by [Sina Moshksar] might be necessary to help drive further efficiency gains.
Known as RoomSense IQ, the small device mounts somewhere within a small room and uses a number of different technologies to keep track of the number of occupants in a room. The primary method is mmWave radar which can sense the presence of a person up to five meters away, but it also includes a PIR sensor to help prevent false positives and distinguish human activity from non-human activity. The device integrates with home automation systems to feed them occupancy data to use to further improve the performance of those types of systems. Its also designed to be low-cost and easy to install, so it should be relatively straightforward to add a few to any existing system as well.

SEC Charges Justin Sun, TRON & BitTorrent Companies With Fraud TorrentFreak
After reporting on all things BitTorrent-related for the
13 years leading up to May 2018, TorrentFreak spotted something
out of the ordinary.
BitTorrent Inc., the company founded by BitTorrent inventor Bram Cohen, and the owner of uTorrent, the worlds most recognized torrent client, suddenly had a new name. When asked about the change, Rainberry Inc. said it was a corporate decision not unlike the Alphabet/Google exercise.
Less than two weeks later, we were able to reveal that TRON founder Justin Sun was planning to buy BitTorrent Inc. Less than a month after that, Sun closed the deal with a reported offer of $140 million.
A shareholder quoted in a TechCrunch report revealed that one of Suns aims was to use the BitTorrent acquisition to legitimize TRONs business.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission announcement published a few hours ago, the plan failed in at least one key area. Most likely, many, many more.
Fraud: SEC Charges Justin Sun and Three Wholly-Owned Companies
Claims that the SEC had already opened an investigation into Suns business activities have been around for a long time. An extraordinary article written by Christopher Harland-Dunaway and published by The Verge last year left very little doubt.
In an announcement Wednesday, the SEC revealed charges against Justin Sun and three of his wholly-owned companies Tron Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd., and Rainberry Inc. (formerly BitTorrent Inc.) for the unregistered offer and sale of crypto asset securities Tronix (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT).
Sun and his companies were further charged with fraudulently manipulating the secondary market for TRX through extensive wash trading, described by the SEC as simultaneous or near-simultaneous purchase and sale of a security to make it appear actively traded without an actual change in beneficial ownership.

Gut microbiome can play key role in response to CAR-T cell cancer immunotherapy Lifeboat News: The Blog
Scientists from German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), together with colleagues from Germany, Israel, and the U.S., have found that the gut microbiome may modulate the efficacy of CAR-T cellular immunotherapy CAR-T cells in patients with B cell lymphomas. Individualized microbiome information retrieved from patients gut microbiomes prior to initiation of CAR T therapy could accurately predict their subsequent responsiveness to therapy, but only in the condition that these patients were not pre-treated with broad spectrum antibiotics.
Increasing evidence from human studies and preclinical experiments suggests that the gut microbiome may modulate the efficacy of T cell-driven cancer immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint blockade. Immunotherapy with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell has opened up new treatment options for patients with certain forms of refractory and relapsing B-cell leukemias or lymphomas. But the therapy is hampered by considerable heterogeneity in responses. Complete and long-term remission is only achieved in up to 40% of patients.
Researchers from multiple centers in Germany and the United States, led by Eran Elinav, director of the DKFZ-Weizmann Institute of Science Microbiome & Cancer Bridging division, have found that the gut microbiome may modulate the efficacy of CD19 CAR-T cell immunotherapy in patients with B cell leukemias and lymphomas.

Telomere shorteninga sign of cellular aginglinked to signs of Alzheimers in brain scans Lifeboat News: The Blog
Changes in the brain caused by Alzheimers disease are associated with shortening of the telomeresthe protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten as cells ageaccording to a new study led by Anya Topiwala of Oxford Population Health, part of the University of Oxford, UK, published March 22 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.
Telomeres on chromosomes protect DNA from degrading, but every time a cell divides, the telomeres lose some of their length. Short telomeres are a sign of stress and cellular aging, and are also associated with a higher risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Currently, little is known about the links between telomere length and changes that occur in the brains of people with neurological conditions. Understanding those relationships could offer insights into the biological mechanisms that cause neurodegenerative disorders.
In the new study, researchers compared telomere length in white blood cells to results from brain MRIs and electronic health records from more than 31,000 participants in the UK Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database and research resource containing anonymized genetic, lifestyle and health information from half a million UK participants.

Researchers identify neutrophils as major culprits in treatment resistance of pancreatic cancer Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers have shown for the first time exactly how immature neutrophilswhite blood cells that are an important part of the immune systemare hijacked by pancreatic cancers to drive immunosuppression and treatment resistance. The study, led by investigators at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
The paper describes a previously unrecognized signaling circuit in pancreatic cancer that instigates immunosuppression and tumor-promoting inflammation in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment, ultimately creating treatment resistance. The central regulator of this treatment resistance is neutrophil-derived TNF signaling. TNF, or tumor necrosis factor, is a substance in the body that causes inflammation.
This is the first study to implicate immunosuppressive signaling from immature neutrophilsthe earliest sentinels in developing pancreatic cancerin this process, said Jashodeep Datta, M.D., associate director of Translational Research at the Sylvester Pancreatic Cancer Research Institute. Datta, whose laboratory at Sylvester led the research, is senior author of the multicenter study.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/israeli-ministry-of-health-produces-controversial-report-on-covid-19-vaccine-mortality_5119326.html?u
An Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) study could not determine mortality risk from Pfizers COVID-19 vaccine and found no evidence of cardiovascular events after COVID-19 vaccination, the MOH said, though an outside expert said the conclusions are contrary to the data.
The study (pdf) was published in Hebrew on the MOH website on Feb. 27. The Epoch Times reviewed and translated the report.
Researchers examined people who passed away or were hospitalized due to an acute cardiovascular event after receiving a Pfizer vaccine.
According to the authors, the MOH decided to conduct the study after other scientific publications did not find a connection between cardiovascular events and COVID-19 vaccination, except for one single report, referring to a Florida study that found a modestly increased risk for cardiac-related mortality 28 days following vaccination, among residents aged 18 years or older. But other research, including Israeli papers, has found a risk of heart inflammation after vaccination.

Collected Samples from the Asteroid Ryugu Contain RNA Component SoylentNews
Uracil found in Ryugu samples:
Researchers have analyzed samples of asteroid Ryugu collected by the Japanese Space Agency's Hayabusa2 spacecraft and found uracilone of the informational units that make up RNA, the molecules that contain the instructions for how to build and operate living organisms. Nicotinic acid, also known as Vitamin B3 or niacin, which is an important cofactor for metabolism in living organisms, was also detected in the same samples.
This discovery by an international team, led by Associate Professor Yasuhiro Oba at Hokkaido University, adds to the evidence that important building blocks for life are created in space and could have been delivered to Earth by meteorites.
"Scientists have previously found nucleobases and vitamins in certain carbon-rich meteorites, but there was always the question of contamination by exposure to the Earth's environment," Oba explained. "Since the Hayabusa2 spacecraft collected two samples directly from asteroid Ryugu and delivered them to Earth in sealed capsules, contamination can be ruled out."
"We found uracil in the samples in small amounts, in the range of 632 parts per billion (ppb), while vitamin B3 was more abundant, in the range of 4999 ppb," Oba elaborated. "Other biological molecules were found in the sample as well, including a selection of amino acids, amines and carboxylic acids, which are found in proteins and metabolism, respectively." The compounds detected are similar but not identical to those previously discovered in carbon-rich meteorites.
"The discovery of uracil in the samples from Ryugu lends strength to current theories regarding the source of nucleobases in the early Earth," Oba concludes. "The OSIRIS-REx mission by NASA will be returning samples from asteroid Bennu this year, and a comparative study of the composition of these asteroids will provide further data to build on these theories."

Commodore 64 Reports the News Hackaday
In the late 80s and into the 90s, [Cameron Kaiser] aka [ClassicHasClass] was an aspiring journalist, first becoming interested in the career in elementary school and then working on various publications into university. At some point, he started using a piece of software for laying out newspapers called The Newsroom which, he admits, was lacking a lot of tools that would have been modern even for the time, but had an otherwise agreeable price tag thanks to its focus more on home desktop publishing and newsletter production than on full-scale newspaper operations. It did have one interesting feature that he never could figure out, though, at least until he went back and pieced this mystery together.
The software itself ran on the Apple II and was eventually ported to other systems of the era, including the Commodore 64. The mystery feature was known as Wire Service and appeared to be a way that users of the software who had a modem could connect with one another and share news releases, layouts, graphics, and other content created in Newsroom, but in the days where it would have been modern never was able to connect to anything. In fact, it was eventually abandoned by the developers themselves in later releases of the software. But [ClassicHasClass] was determined to get it working.

A few years later it became the world's first spaceport with the launch of the historic Sputnik 1 and Vostok 1 missions. The sprawling cosmodrome was a mainstay of the Soviet space program.
After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia began to lease the spaceport from the government of Kazakhstan and currently has an agreement to use the facilities through the year 2050. Russia pays an annual lease fee of about $100 million. Neither country is particularly happy with the relationship; the Kazakh government feels like it is under-compensated, and the Russian government would like it to be in its own country, which is why it has moved in recent years to build a new launch site for most of its rockets in the Far East of Russia, at Vostochny.
[...] Earlier this month a Kazakh news site, KZ24, reported that the Republic of Kazakhstan had seized the property of TsENKI, the Center for Utilization of Ground-based Space Infrastructure, in Kazakhstan. This firm, which is a subsidiary of Roscosmos, is responsible for launch pads and ground support equipment for the Russian space corporation. According to the report, which was translated for Ars by Rob Mitchell, TsENKI is barred from removing any assets or materials from Kazakhstan.
[...] Russia has already spent nearly $1 billion on the development of the new Soyuz-5 rocket and plans for its launch site and ground services. When Ars wrote about the rocket's development back in 2017, it was slated for a debut in 2021. Now it is unlikely to debut before at least 2024and given the current dispute with Kazakhstan, it likely will be delayed much longer into the future.

New LiGO technique accelerates training of large machine-learning models Lifeboat News: The Blog
Its no secret that OpenAIs ChatGPT has some incredible capabilitiesfor instance, the chatbot can write poetry that resembles Shakespearean sonnets or debug code for a computer program. These abilities are made possible by the massive machine-learning model that ChatGPT is built upon. Researchers have found that when these types of models become large enough, extraordinary capabilities emerge.
But bigger models also require more time and money to train. The training process involves showing hundreds of billions of examples to a model. Gathering so much data is an involved process in itself. Then come the monetary and environmental costs of running many powerful computers for days or weeks to train a model that may have billions of parameters.
Its been estimated that training models at the scale of what ChatGPT is hypothesized to run on could take millions of dollars, just for a single training run. Can we improve the efficiency of these training methods, so we can still get good models in less time and for less money? We propose to do this by leveraging smaller language models that have previously been trained, says Yoon Kim, an assistant professor in MITs Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).

Summary: Apple and US State Governments Developing System to Require People to Report Themselves for Watching Porn.
According to NBC News, at least 8 US states are considering a law that requires mobile device manufacturers to recognize pornography and censor it automatically, whether youre using carrier data or your homes WiFi, and they could be exposed to criminal liability if theyre not doing a perfect job, so expect them to be extremely aggressive with the filters.
Apple is best positioned to implement it since they admit they already have device scanners and porn filters, and the filters just arent on by default (yet).
Apple has admitted the porn filters were intended to blur things in iMessage and alert parents.Apple doesnt allow software to be installed outside their App store and these laws would require them to censor their App Store.
Apple has admitted the porn filters were intended to blur things in iMessage and alert parents.
So basically what changes when the 8 states (so far) pass the model bill to ban porn on mobile devices?
Apple changes their blur and report system to detect porn being displayed in any application on the iPhone/iPad.
If its illegal, they just go ahead and send an automated report to the cops, but they do that now, so
If its not illegal, they just blur it and make you hand your drivers license information to another app thats put there by your state and take a face pic, like iD Me.
Im sure that medical students will love this.Apple has gone pretty quiet with their alleged Privacy campaign, it was always fake, like DuckDuckGo.
The idea is that you bait users into a platform where they have no agency and cant stop you, and then put in this fake anti-tracking stuff thats surface deep, and then way way down into the bowels of the iOS system, you put spyware in thats very quiet about what its actually doing so you dont spook the user. They think that you have their back while theyre being bugged.
So, in a year or two when you cant read accurate information in an encyclopedia or medical journal about the human reproductive system, because Apple cant decide if its porn or not, and you have to give your drivers license to a state gover...

Combining Acoustic Bioprinting With Raman Spectroscopy for High-Throughput Identification of Bacteria Hackaday
Rapidly analyzing samples for the presence of bacteria and similar organic structures is generally quite a time-intensive process, with often the requirement of a cell culture being developed. Proposed by Fareeha Safir and colleagues in Nano Letters is a method to use an acoustic droplet printer combined with Raman spectroscopy. Advantages of this method are a high throughput, which could make analysis of samples at sewage installations, hospitals and laboratories significantly faster.
Raman spectroscopy works on the principle of Raman scattering, which is the inelastic scattering of photons by matter, causing a distinct pattern in the thus scattered light. By starting with a pure light source (that is, a laser), the relatively weak Raman scattering can be captured and the laser light filtered out. The thus captured signal can be analyzed and matched with known pathogens.
In the experiment, the researchers were able to distinguish between red blood cells (RBCs) and a host of distinct bacterial pathogens, both Gram-negative and Gram-positive. In addition, samples were printed onto a cell culture growth medium and incubated to demonstrate that the thus printed samples were...

Insect Farming is Booming, but is It Cruel? SoylentNews
Insects are strange wondrous beings. Butterflies can see parts of the light spectrum that are invisible to human eyes and use these ultraviolet patterns to find their way to tasty plants. Moths use the Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves on journeys of hundreds of miles. Bees waggle their butts to tell their hive-mates where to find a juicy stash of nectar. Insects live in our worldor humans live in theirsyet we inhabit completely different sensory universes.
But just as we are starting to understand insect senses, something is shifting in the way we treat these creatures. Insect farming is booming in a major way. By one estimate, between 1 trillion and 1.2 trillion insects are raised on farms each year as companies race to find a high-protein, low-carbon way to feed animals and humans. In terms of sheer numbers of animals impacted, this is a transformation of a speed and scale that we've never seen before.
It's a weird twist in our already strange relationship with bugs. We squash them, spray them, eat them, and crush them to make pretty dyes. But we also fret about plummeting wild insect populations and rely on them to pollinate the crops we eat. And with the industrialization of insect farming, bugs are being offered up as a solution to the human-caused climate crisis. But before we go down that route, we need to ask some really basic questions about insects. Can they feel? And if so, what should we do about it?

PyTorch 2.0: Our next generation release that is faster, more Pythonic and Dynamic as ever Linux.com
We are excited to announce the release of PyTorch 2.0 which we highlighted during the PyTorch Conference on 12/2/22! PyTorch 2.0 offers the same eager-mode development and user experience, while fundamentally changing and supercharging how PyTorch operates at compiler level under the hood with faster performance and support for Dynamic Shapes and Distributed.
Accelerated Transformers (formerly called Better Transformers); Beta includes torch.compile as the main API for PyTorch 2.0, the scaled_dot_product_attention function as part of torch.nn.functional, the MPS backend, functorch APIs in the torch.func module; and other Beta/Prototype improvements across various inferences, performance and training optimization features on GPUs and CPUs. For a comprehensive introduction and technical overview of torch.compile, please visit the 2.0 Get Started page.Along with 2.0, we are also releasing a series of beta updates to the PyTorch domain libraries, including those that are in-tree, and separate libraries including TorchAudio, TorchVision, and TorchText. An update for TorchX is also being released as it moves to community supported mode. More details can be found in this library blog.
This release is composed of over 4,541 commits and 428 contributors since 1.13.1. We want to sincerely thank our dedicated community for your contributions. As always, we encourage you to try these out and report any issues as we improve 2.0 and the overall 2-series this year.
Summary:
- torch.compile is the main API for PyTorch 2.0, which wraps your model and returns a compiled model. It is a fully additive (and optional) feature and hence 2.0 is 100% backward compatible by definition.
- As an underpinning technology of torch.compile, TorchInductor with Nvidia and AMD GPUs will rely on OpenAI Triton deep learning compiler to generate performant code and hide low level hardware details. OpenAI Triton-generated kernels achieve performance thats on par with hand-written kernels and specialized cuda libraries such as cublas.
- Accelerated Transformers introduce high-performance support for training and inference using a custom kernel architecture for scaled dot product attention (SPDA). The API is integrated with torch.compile() and model developers may also use the scaled dot product attention kernels directly by calling the new scale...

HPR3819: Remapping Mouse Buttons with XBindKeys on Linux Hacker Public Radio
Remapping Mouse Buttons with XBindKeys on Linux After a really long time of not bothering to figure out how to do this, I finally did some research and found out how to remap the extra buttons on my Kensington Expert mouse and my Logitech marble trackball mouse in a Linux environment. The tools it needed were xvkbd, xdotool, and xbindkeys. I already had the first two installed, but had never used xbindkeys before. I also used xev to identify the button numbers and key numbers. The Kensington Expert Mouse is one that I've had for about 15 years, and it was fairly expensive when I bought it, something like $75 or $80. It has four large buttons with a large trackball in the middle and a scroll wheel going around the track ball. I bought it at a time when I was doing a lot of graphic work that required clicking and dragging and double-clicking and stuff like that. If you're using it in a Mac or Windows environment, there is a special configuration tool that you can use to set it up just how you want. I had always configured it so that the upper left and upper right buttons were used for double-clicking and click dragging. This helped reduce a lot of strain on my hands. I have never gotten this to work on Linux, though, until today. If you want to do this yourself, the first thing to do is make sure you have these packages installed: xvkbd, xdotool, and xbindkeys. Then create a configuration file in your home directory: ~/.xbindkeysrc In order to map the upper left button to "double click," and the upper right button to "click and drag," I added these lines to the configuration file: # Double-click assigned to button 2 (upper left) "xdotool sleep 0.2 click 1 ; xdotool click 1" b:2 # Click and Drag assigned to button 8 (upper right) "xdotool sleep 0.2 mousedown 1" b:8 To test the settings, simply kill the xbindkeys process and restart it by typing xbindkeys: user@hostname:~$ pkill -f xbindkeys user@hostname:~$ xbindkeys On my desktop computer I have a Logitech marble trackball mouse, and it has two small keys that are assigned to back and forward by default. This can be handy for navigating file managers and web pages, but I wanted them to be assigned to "page up" and "page down" (to make up for the lack of a scroll wheel on the mouse). Here is the configuration file for that machine: "xvkbd -text "[Page_Down]"" b:8 "xvkbd -text "[Page_Up]"" b:9 I suppose I could have used xdotool for this configuration file as well, but for reasons I can't remember now, I tried xvkbd first and it worked, so I did not experiment further. I used xdotool for the Kensington because xvkbd did not have a way to perform virtual mouse clicks. Links xev XBindKeys xvkbd xdotool
Restoring Execution Environments of Jupyter Notebooks It Will Never Work in Theory
Like the paper reviewed yesterday, this one looks at computational notebooks: more specifically, at how to reverse engineer their execution environment. As the abstract says, more than 90% of published Jupyter notebooks don't explicitly state package dependencies, which can make them non-reproducible at best and non-executable in far too many cases. Wang et al. developed a tool that collects package APIs, analyzes notebooks to determine which ones are needed, and then finds combinations of packages that will make the notebook run. Quoting from the paper, "In a lab setting, SnifferDog is effective in automatically inferring execution environments for Jupyter notebooks, successfully generating installation requirements for 315/340 (92.6%) of notebooks. 284/315 (90.2%) of notebooks could be executed automatically."
This is impressive work, and the authors have made it available on GitHub. Once again, I hope it will inform the design of a new generation of notebooks: rather than requiring people to try to scrape dependencies, for example, I hope that future notebook systems will capture them automatically.
Jiawei Wang, Li Li, and Andreas Zeller. Restoring execution environments of Jupyter notebooks. 2021. arXiv:2103.02959.
More than ninety percent of published Jupyter notebooks do not state dependencies on external packages. This makes them non-executable and thus hinders reproducibility of scientific results. We present SnifferDog, an approach that 1) collects the APIs of Python packages and versions, creating a database of APIs; 2) analyzes notebooks to determine candidates for required packages and versions; and 3) checks which packages are required to make the notebook executable (and ideally, reproduce its stored results). In its evaluation, we show that SnifferDog precisely restores execution environments for the largest majority of notebooks, making them immediately executable for end users.
Improving Resiliency and Reliability for Lets Encrypt with ARI Let's Encrypt
The Lets Encrypt team is excited to announce that ACME Renewal Information (ARI) is live in production! ARI makes it possible for our subscribers to handle certificate revocation and renewal as easily and automatically as the process of getting a certificate in the first place.
With ARI, Lets Encrypt can signal to ACME clients when they should renew certificates. In the normal case of a certificate with a 90 day lifetime, ARI might signal for renewal at 60 days. If Lets Encrypted needs to revoke a certificate for some reason, ARI can signal that renewal needs to happen prior to the revocation. This means that even in extenuating circumstances, renewal can happen in an entirely automated way without disrupting subscriber services.
Without ARI, an unexpected revocation event might mean that Lets Encrypt would have to send emails to affected subscribers, maybe those emails are read in time to avoid a service disruption, maybe they arent, and engineers have to manually take action to trigger early renewals, possibly in the middle of the night. We cant wait for ARI to make this scenario a thing of the past.
ARI has a couple of additional benefits for Lets Encrypt and our subscribers. First, we can use ARI to help modulate renewals as needed to avoid load spikes on the Lets Encrypt infrastructure (of course subscribers can still renew whenever they want or need, as ARI is merely a signal or suggestion). Second, ARI can be used to set subscribers up for success in terms of ideal renewal times in the event that Lets Encrypt offers even shorter-lived certificates in the future.
ARI has been standardized in the IETF, a process that started with an email from Lets Encrypt engineer Roland Shoemaker in March of 2020. In September of 2021 Lets Encrypt engineer Aaron Gable submitted the first draft to the IETFs ACME working group, and now ARI is in production. The next step is for ACME clients to start supporting ARI, a process we plan to help with as best we can in the coming months.
ARI is a huge step forward for agility and resiliency in the TLS certificate ecosystem and were excited to see it gain widespread adoption!

Nvidia tweaks flagship H100 chip for export to China as H800 SoylentNews
Nvidia tweaks flagship H100 chip for export to China as H800:
U.S. regulators last year put into place rules that stopped Nvidia from selling its two most advanced chips, the A100 and newer H100, to Chinese customers. Such chips are crucial to developing generative AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT and similar products.
Reuters in November reported that Nvidia had designed a chip called the A800 that reduced some capabilities of the A100 to make the A800 legal for export to China.
On Tuesday, the company confirmed that it has similarly called the H800, is being used by the cloud computing units of Chinese technology firms such as Alibaba Group Holding, Baidu Inc and Tencent Holdings, a company spokesperson said.
U.S. regulators last fall imposed rules to slow China's development in key technology sectors such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, aiming to hobble the country's efforts to modernize its military.
The rules around artificial intelligence chips imposed a test that bans those with both powerful computing capabilities and high chip-to-chip data transfer rates. Transfer speed is important when training artificial intelligence models on huge amounts of data because slower transfer rates mean more training time.
A chip industry source in China told Reuters the H800 mainly reduced the chip-to-chip data transfer rate to about half the rate of the flagship H100.
The Nvidia spokesperson declined to say how the China-focused H800 differs from the H100, except that "our 800 series products are fully compliant with export control regulations."

Google Suspends Chinese E-Commerce App Pinduoduo Over Malware Krebs on Security
Google says it has suspended the app for the Chinese e-commerce giant Pinduoduo after malware was found in versions of the software. The move comes just weeks after Chinese security researchers published an analysis suggesting the popular e-commerce app sought to seize total control over affected devices by exploiting multiple security vulnerabilities in a variety of Android-based smartphones.
In November 2022, researchers at Googles Project Zero warned about active attacks on Samsung mobile phones which chained together three security vulnerabilities that Samsung patched in March 2021, and which would have allowed an app to add or read any files on the device.
Google said it believes the exploit chain for Samsung devices belonged to a commercial surveillance vendor, without elaborating further. The highly technical writeup also did not name the malicious app in question.
On Feb. 28, 2023, researchers at the Chinese security firm DarkNavy published a blog post purporting to show evidence that a major Chinese ecommerce companys app was using this same three-exploit chain to read user data stored by other apps on the affected device, and to make its app nearly impossible to remove.
The three Samsung exploits that DarkNavy says were used by the malicious app. In November 2022, Google documented these three same vulnerabilities being used together to compromise Samsung devices.
DarkNavy likewise did not name the app they said was responsible for the attacks. In fact, the researchers took care to redact the name of the app from multiple code screenshots published in their writeup. DarkNavy did not respond to requests for clarification.
At present, a large number of end users have complained the DarkNavy blog post. The app has problems such as in...

Courts Should Let You Sue Federal Officials Who Violate Your Right to Record Deeplinks
Intern Katie Farr contributed to this blog post.
Late last year, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Dustin Dyers lawsuit against Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers who ordered him to stop recording their pat-down search of his husband. The officers also ordered him to delete what he had already recorded. But the court, using a flawed legal doctrine that limits civil rights lawsuits, ruled that Dyer could not sue the officers for money damages even if they violated his First Amendment right to record on-duty government officials.
But there is no right without a remedy. Indeed, the Supreme Court once recognized that suing federal officials for money damages is necessary relief when federally protected rights have been invaded. In 1971, the high court in Bivens v. Six Agents approved a damages lawsuit against federal anti-drug officers who unlawfully raided a home. But since the 1980s, the Court has chipped away at the Bivens right to seek damages from federal officials. The Court recently blocked a lawsuit against a Customs and Border Patrol officer for violating First and Fourth Amendment rights.
We need money damages under Bivens to protect our civil rightsincluding the right to record and other digital rightsfrom the federal government. While a federal civil rights law protects our right to sue state government officials for money damages, no such statute exists for suing federal government officials. And the Supreme Court set, and the Fourth Circuit applied, a very high bar for suing under Bivens. You must show there are no alternative remedies and no special factors counseling hesitation. That is as vague and broad as it sounds, and the Fourth Circuit said this high bar all but closed the door on Bivens.
For example, the Fourth Circuit rejected Dyers lawsuit because the TSAs parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has a complaint system. Even though it is mostly for people on the no-fly list, and may not squarely address the TSA officers interference with Dyers recording, the court said that is an alternative remedy to a lawsuit for money damages. ...

Lionsgate streaming platform with 37m subscribers leaks user data Security Affairs
Entertainment industry giant Lionsgate leaked users IP addresses and information about what content they watch on its movie-streaming platform, according to research from Cybernews.
Original post at https://cybernews.com/security/lionsgate-data-leak/
During their investigation, our researchers discovered that the video-streaming platform Lionsgate Play had leaked user data through an open ElasticSearch instance.
The Cybernews research team discovered an unprotected 20GB of server logs that contained nearly 30 million entries, with the oldest dated May 2022. The logs exposed subscribers IP addresses and user data concerning device, operating system, and web browser.
Logs also leaked the platforms usage data, typically used for analytics and performance tracking. URLs found in logs contained titles and IDs of what content users watched on the platform, along with search queries entered by the users.
Researchers also found unidentified hashes with logged HTTP GET requests, records of requests made by clients that are usually used to get data from a web server: when these requests are made, they get stored in log files on the server.
Researchers could not determine the exact purpose or usage of the hashes. However, the hashes all containing more than 156 characters indicates they were intended to remain unchanged for long periods of time.
Hashes didnt match any commonly used hashing algorithms. Since these hashes were included in the HTTP requests, we believe they could have been used as secrets for authentication, or just user IDs, said researchers.
Cybernews reached out to Lionsgate about the leak, and the company responded by closing an open instance. However, at the time of writing, it has yet to provide an official response.
Big hitter at risk
Lionsgate Entertainment Corporation, the Canadian-American entertainment company operating the platform, owns several well-known movie and TV franchises that have gained worldwide recognition, including Twilight Saga, Saw, Terminator, The Hunger Games, and The Divergent Series.
While Netflix stays at the top of all streaming platforms with over 230 million subscribers, Lionsgate has over 37 million global subscribers and generated $3.6 billion in revenue last year.
Accelerated by COVID-19, the popularity of online streaming platforms has been growing. In 2022, the subscription rates to video-on-demand platforms reached 83% in the US, showing an increase of more than 30% during eight years.
But, as the number of users on platforms increases, they are becoming a tempting target for cybercriminals. Even minor security loopholes might cause serious damage, yet secur...

65 AA batteries and $10 Arduino processor power space debris solution:
A tiny satellite with a drag chute built by a team of students has been held up as one small possible solution to the thorny issue of space junk caused by defunct hardware cluttering up Earth's orbit.
SBUDNIC, a "Sputnik-like CubeSat," was built by students at Brown University, Rhode Island, from low-cost commercial off-the-shelf parts. It has successfully demonstrated the use of a simple drag sail that helps to degrade the satellite's orbit and push it back into the planet's atmosphere faster than would otherwise have occurred.
[...] The idea behind SBUDNIC was to demonstrate how future satellites could avoid adding to this problem by including a mechanism to help de-orbit them at the end of their life span. The aerodynamic drag device pulls the satellite out of orbit approximately three times faster than comparable satellites, according to Brown University.
[...] The satellite itself is a 3U Cubesat (where 1U is 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, not to be confused with a datacenter rack unit). According to details given by the university, it includes a $10 Arduino microprocessor, 65 AA Energizer lithium batteries and a variety of 3D printed parts produced with consumer-grade printers.
Also 3D printed is the drag sail, made from Kapton polyimide film, which apparently has the right combination of properties to withstand extreme temperature and vibration. This was folded flat along the satellite's frame prior to deployment, using spring-loaded structural masts made of thin aluminum tubing designed to extend out upon triggering of the release mechanism.
[...] Initial computational predictions suggest that the drag device will decrease the orbital lifetime of SBUDNIC from over 20 years to as few as 6.5 years, depending on fluctuations of atmospheric density.

BREIN Wont Take Piracy Warning Dispute to The Supreme Court TorrentFreak
Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN has been at the forefront
of the anti-piracy battle since the turn of the millennium.
For most of this period, unauthorized sharing via BitTorrent has been a prime concern. Traditionally, BREIN focused its enforcement efforts on website operators, but in recent years theres been a shift to uploaders as well.
In late 2020, the anti-piracy group announced an elaborate program to monitor and warn some of the most active BitTorrent uploaders. The goal of this FLU scheme was to change the behavior of prolific pirates, without obtaining their identities.
The project received government research funding but BREIN had a major obstacle to overcome. Unlike ISPs in other countries such as the United States, Dutch ISPs are not required to forward piracy notices to their subscribers.
ISP Refuses to Forward Warnings
BREIN hoped that Internet providers would be willing to cooperate, but that wasnt to be the case. When BREIN approached Ziggo, the largest ISP in the Netherlands, with a request to forward piracy alerts to its subscribers, the company refused to do so.
According to Ziggo, linking IP addresses to specific subscribers raises serious privacy concerns, even if personal information isnt shared with BREIN.
The anti-piracy group was unhappy with the refusal and took Ziggo to court. BREIN argued that warnings are a relatively mild measure that would help rightsholders to address the piracy problem. The system wouldnt result in any claims for damages either, as the identities of the alleged pirates would remain private.
BREIN lost the case last year. The court found that there is no legal basis to compel Ziggo to forward warnings. In addition, the ISP lacks a license to link IP-addresses to personal information.
This outcome was a disappointment for BREIN which appealed the ruling, but without result. The appeals court affirmed the lower courts ruling, noting that there is no legal basis to require Internet providers to forward the notices.
No Supreme Court Challenge
This was yet another setback for the anti-piracy group, which considered taking the matter to the Supreme Court. However, after weighing the available options, it chose not to do so, which effectively means the end of the original FLU program.

Homebrew Tire Inflator Pushes the Limits of PVC Construction Hackaday
Lets just clear something up right from the start with this one: theres literally no reason to build your own tire inflator from scratch, especially when you can buy a perfectly serviceable one for not a lot of money.

Experts released PoC exploits for severe flaws in Netgear Orbi routers Security Affairs
Cisco Talos researchers published PoC exploits for vulnerabilities in Netgear Orbi 750 series router and extender satellites.
Netgear Orbi is a line of mesh Wi-Fi systems designed to provide high-speed, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout a home or business. The Orbi system consists of a main router and one or more satellite units that work together to create a seamless Wi-Fi network that can cover a large area with consistent, high-speed Wi-Fi.
One of the key benefits of the Orbi system is its use of mesh networking technology, which allows the satellite units to communicate with the main router and with each other to provide strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout the home or business.
Cisco worked with Netgeat to solve the issues and is disclosing them according to its 90-day timeline outlined in Ciscos vulnerability disclosure policy.
Cisco Talos researchers published Proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for multiple vulnerabilities in Netgears Orbi 750 series router and extender satellites.
The experts discovered four vulnerabilities in the Netgear Orbi mesh wireless system, the most critical one is a critical remote code vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-37337 (CVSS v3.1: 9.1), that resides in the access control functionality of the Netgear Orbi router.
A command execution vulnerability exists in the access control functionality of Netgear Orbi Router RBR750 4.6.8.5. states Talos. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
A threat actor can exploit the flaw by sending a specially crafted HTTP request.
Talos discovered a vulnerability in the Orbi Satellite TALOS-2022-1596 (CVE-2022-37337) that could lead to arbitrary command execution on the device. The user needs to authenticate into the mesh system first, meaning theyd need to access an unprotected network or the login credentials of a password-protected network, for this attack to be successful. Then, the adversary needs to send a specially crafted HTTP request to trigger the vulnerability. reads the advisory published by Cisco Talos.

Internet Archive Faces Uphill Battle in Lawsuit Over its Free Digital Library SoylentNews
A federal judge heard oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by four major book publishers against Internet Archive for alleged copyright infringement on Monday. The lawsuit was first filed in 2020 and could be a landmark case when it comes to digital libraries and copyright.
According to Reuters, U.S. District Judge John Koeltl seemed skeptical about whether copyright law's fair use doctrine allows Internet Archive to offer the scanned books without the publishers' permission.
The lawsuit was filed by Hatchette Book Group, John Wiley & Sons Inc., Penguin Random House, and HarperCollins Publishers, all of whom say that digitizing books without requiring payment hurts writers and the publishers who lose out on payout. The lawsuit claims Internet Archive's "actions grossly exceed legitimate library services, do violence to the Copyright Act, and constitute willful digital piracy on an industrial scale."
[...] The lawsuit says although Internet Archive claims it works to promote education, that has been a long-running function and aim of publishing houses who have invested time, money, and resources into creating and distributing books, not to mention the researching and writing efforts of the author.

A New Explanation for Oumuamuas Acceleration Centauri Dreams Imagining and Planning Interstellar Exploration
Heres a thought that puts a different spin on exoplanet studies. The speaker is Darryl Seligman (Cornell University):
The comets and asteroids in the solar system have arguably taught us more about planet formation than what weve learned from the actual planets in the solar system. I think that the interstellar comets could arguably tell us more about extrasolar planets than the extrasolar planets we are trying to get measurements of today.
Seligmans comment plays into the growing interest in interstellar objects that drift into our Solar System like 1/I Oumuamua and 2/I Borisov. These may be the initial members of what is actually a large class of debris from other stars that we are only now learning how to detect. Among the many things we have yet to refine in our understanding of Oumuamua is its actual size. Projections of 115 by 111 by 19 meters are deduced from its brightness and the changes produced by its apparently tumbling motion. The interstellar interloper is too far from Earth and too small to resolve.
Image: This plot shows how the interstellar asteroid `Oumuamua varied in brightness during three days in October 2017. The large range of brightness about a factor of ten (2.5 magnitudes) is due to the very elongated shape of this unique object, which rotates every 7.3 hours. The different coloured dots represent measurements through different filters, covering the visible and near-infrared part of the spectrum. The dotted line shows the light curve expected if `Oumuamua were an ellipsoid with a 1:10 aspect ratio, the deviations from this line are probably due to irregularities in the objects shape or surface albedo. Credit: ESO/K. Meech et al.
I mention this just to underline how difficult it is to make sense of Oumuamua at present. Absent a fast mission to catch up with the object (and there are ideas out there, as weve discussed in these pages before), its dimensions will remain ambiguous. And what of the anomalous non-gravitational acceleration that astronomers noted in 2018? Seligman, who along with Gregory Laughlin has written about fast missions to Oumuamua in a paper from that year, is also behind the conjecture that the object could be composed of molecular hydrogen ice. Its no wonder, then, that his interest was pi...

NASA's AIM Mission Comes to an End After Nearly 16 Years SoylentNews
The satellite helped scientists learn more about polar mesospheric clouds:
It looks to be the end of the line for NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere, or AIM, spacecraft. The mission launched on April 25, 2007, as part of the Small Explorer program (the 90th such mission since 1958). The satellite featured three science instruments designed to study polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) that form high above Earth in the polar regions.
The satellite was put into orbit 312 miles up. Data from the long-running mission helped scientists better understand the formation of these unique clouds, also called night-shining or noctilucent clouds, and was featured in 379 peer-reviewed scientific papers over the years.
AIM had a planned mission duration of just 26 months but has been operating mostly issue-free for nearly 16 years. In 2019, however, NASA noticed the satellite's batteries were starting to degrade but were still functional enough to continue to collect a significant amount of data and return it to Earth.
NASA said the craft's battery has reached a point where it is no longer able to receive commands or collect data. The space agency will monitor the satellite for a two-week period and attempt to reboot it, but it isn't looking good.
[...] The near-term fate of the AIM satellite wasn't mentioned, and it's unclear if NASA has the ability to bring it back down to Earth like it has with other decommissioned craft. The satellite measures roughly 1.4m x 1.1m (4 ft 7 in 3 ft 7 in) and weighs 197 kg (434 pounds). If left unaddressed, it'd add to the growing list of space junk orbiting our planet.

Web3 Is Going Just Great Creator On Why It Isnt IEEE Spectrum
In mid-2021, the term Web3 suddenly exploded into the public consciousness. As people scrambled to figure out what it wascryptocurrencies? blockchain? nonfungible tokens?venture capital firms were pouring money into new startups, over US $30 billion before the year was out.
Meanwhile, Molly White, a software engineer, started reading up on the tech in case that was the direction her career would be heading in. But she found herself taking a different direction: She launched the website Web3 Is Going Just Great, with the aim of tracking the scams and fraud in the cryptocurrency world. So far, shes tallied $11.8 billion in money lost on the websites Grift Counter. White answered five rapid-fire questions on the Web3 phenomenon and why shes still not impressed.
How did you end up running a site like Web3 Is Going Just Great?
Molly White: When I started researching the topic, I was just seeing a lack of reporting on some of the downsidesyou know, the hacks, the scams, the fraud. And so I decided I could do my part to try and fill that void to some extent, because I feel like its important that people get the full picture.
A lot of the projects youre tracking involve cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies. Is that what Web3 means? Are all of these terms synonymous?
White: Its primarily a marketing term. And I think the industry benefits from how nebulous it is because it can mean whatever is most useful at that time. But broadly speaking, Web3 refers to blockchains underpinning everything you do online.
The crypto industry seemed like it might collapse when the cryptocurrency exchange FTX went bankrupt in November 2022, but youre still updating the site with new projects. Is the industry still just trucking along, or has it changed after that event?
White: I think that FTX and the related collapses have been a really big hit to the crypto brand, but I think that the crypto industry is constantly working on finding the next big thing that they can sell retail investors on. And so that is very much underway at this point.
You can sort of see whats happening as people start distancing themselves from FTX and saying that the FTX...

Why LLaMa Is A Big Deal Hackaday
You might have heard about LLaMa or maybe you havent. Either way, whats the big deal? Its just some AI thing. In a nutshell, LLaMa is important because it allows you to run large language models (LLM) like GPT-3 on commodity hardware. In many ways, this is a bit like Stable Diffusion, which similarly allowed normal folks to run image generation models on their own hardware with access to the underlying source code. Weve discussed why Stable Diffusion matters and even talked about how it works.
LLaMa is a transformer language model from Facebook/Meta research, which is a collection of large models from 7 billion to 65 billion parameters trained on publicly available datasets. Their research paper showed that the 13B version outperformed GPT-3 in most benchmarks and LLama-65B is right up there with the best of them. LLaMa was unique as inference could be run on a single GPU due to some optimizations made to the transformer itself and the mo...

ENISA: Ransomware became a prominent threat against the transport sector in 2022 Security Affairs
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) published its first cyber threat landscape report for the transport sector.
A new report published by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) analyzes threats and incidents in the transport sector. The report covers incidents in aviation, maritime, railway, and road transport industries between January 2021 and October 2022.
The report provides a detailed analysis of the prime threats to the transport sector, the threat actors and related motivations.
During the period covered by the report, the expert identified the following prime threats:
- ransomware attacks (38%),
- data related threats (30%),
- malware (17%),
- denial-of-service (DoS), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and ransom denial-of-service (RDoS) attacks (16%),
- phishing / spear phishing (10%),
- supply-chain attacks (10%).
During the reporting period, ransomware was the most prominent threat against the sector in 2022. The researchers pointed out that the ransomware attacks doubled compared to the previous year. Threat actors behind ransomware attacks are not exclusively financially-motivated.
Nation-state actors, cybercriminals, and hacktivists, are the threat actors with the biggest impact on the organizations in the sector.
Most of the attacks on the transport sector (54%) are carried out by cybercriminals.
The report warns that hacktivist activity targeting the transport sector, including DDoS attacks, is likely to continue. Airports, railways and transport authorities are privileged targets of hacktivists.
The good news is that ENISA experts did not receive reliable information on a cyberattack affecting the safety of transport.
The researchers also warn that future Ransomware attacks will likely target and disrupt OT op...

Ubisofts new Ghostwriter tool will automatically generate background sounds and chatter Lifeboat News: The Blog
A good open world game is filled with little details that add to a players sense of immersion. One of the key elements is the presence of background chatter. Each piece of dialog you hear is known as a bark and must be individually written by the games creators a time consuming, detailed task. Ubisoft, maker of popular open world gaming series like Assassins Creed and Watch Dogs, hopes to shorten this process with Ghostwriter, a machine learning tool that generates first drafts of barks.
To use Ghostwriter, narrative writers input the character and type of interaction they are looking to create. The tool then produces variations, each with two slightly different options, for writers to review. As the writers make edits to the drafts, Ghostwriter updates, ideally producing more tailored options moving forward.
The idea here is to save game writers time to focus on the big stuff. Ghostwriter was created hand-in-hand with narrative teams to help them complete a repetitive task more quickly and effectively, giving them more time and freedom to work on games narrative, characters, and cutscenes, Ubisoft states in a video release.

"cURL", the URL Code That Can, Marks 25 Years of Transfers SoylentNews
Utility began as a personal project, found its way into billions of devices:
Daniel Stenberg has observed the 25th anniversary of the curl open source project with the publication of curl 8.0.0, the 215th release of the command line tool, and a modest tele-celebration.
The name curl, originally rendered as "cURL" to emphasize its function, stands for "Client for URLs" or "Client URL Request Library" or its recursive form, "curl URL Request Library."
It's a command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs. Once installed on a device with command line access, curl can be used, through a text command, to send or fetch data to and from a server using a variety of network protocols.
Any developer who is serious about writing code that interacts over a network has probably used curl, or does so regularly. Presently, billions of devices rely on curl cars, mobile phones, set top boxes, routers, and other such items use it internally for data transfer.
"The curl project started out very humbly as a small renamed URL transfer tool that almost nobody knew about for the first few years," said Stenberg in a blog post. "It scratched a personal itch of mine."
4.0. It had 2,200 lines of code and had been adapted from projects known as httpget and urlget. As Stenberg explained, curl 4.0 supported just three protocols, HTTP, GOPHER and FTP, and 24 command line options. Version 8.0.0 can handle 28 protocols and 249 command line options."The first release of curl was not that special event since I had been shipping httpget and urlget releases for over a year already, so while this was a new name it was also 'just another release' as I had done many times already," he wrote.

Automatically unlocking a LUKS encrypted root filesystem during boot English mikas blog
Update on 2023-03-23: thanks to Daniel Roschka for mentioning the Mandos and TPM approaches, which might be better alternatives, depending on your options and needs. Peter Palfrader furthermore pointed me towards clevis-initramfs and tang.
A customer of mine runs dedicated servers inside a foreign data-center, remote hands only. In such an environment you might need a disk replacement because you need bigger or faster disks, though also a disk might (start to) fail and you need a replacement. One has to be prepared for such a scenario, but fully wiping your used disk then might not always be an option, especially once disks (start to) fail. On the other hand you dont want to end up with (partial) data on your disk handed over to someone unexpected.
By encrypting the data on your disks upfront you can prevent against this scenario. But if you have a fleet of servers you might not want to manually jump on servers during boot and unlock crypto volumes manually. Its especially annoying if its about the root filesystem where a solution like dropbear-initramfs needs to be used for remote access during initramfs boot stage. So my task for the customer was to adjust encrypted LUKS devices such that no one needs to manually unlock the encrypted device during server boot (with some specific assumptions about possible attack vectors one has to live with, see the disclaimer at the end).
The documentation about this use-case was rather inconsistent, especially because special rules apply for the root filesystem (no key file usage), we see different behavior between whats supported by systemd (hello key file again), initramfs-tools and dracut, not to mention the changes between different distributions. Since tests with this tend to be rather annoying (better make sure to have a Grml live system available :)), Im hereby documenting what worked for us (Debian/bullseye with initramfs-tools and cryptsetup-initramfs).
The system was installed with LVM on-top of an encrypted Software-RAID device, only the /boot partition is unencrypted. But even if you dont use Software-RAID nor LVM the same instructions apply. The system looks like this:
% mount -t ext4 -l /dev/mapper/foobar-root_1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) % sudo pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/mapper/md1_crypt foobar lvm2 a-- 445.95g 430.12g % sudo vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree foobar 1 2 0 wz--n- 445.95g 430.12g % sudo lvs LV VG...

Anti-Piracy DNS Poisoning Blacks Out Media Group, ISP Refuses to Comment TorrentFreak
In a world where clear and independent reporting
struggles to get heard in a sea of sensationalized clickbait, the
German Heise group is
generally recognized as a reliable and accurate news source.
For several days last week, an unknown number of visitors to heise.de were denied access to the companys reporting. Instead, they found themselves redirected to Germanys anti-piracy website blocking portal and statements that had no basis in fact.
Silently Blocked For Several Days
A Heise analysis, published Tuesday, reveals that the publication first learned of issues affecting access to its website last Friday, March 17. More messages from readers were received on Monday, and all reported the same thing. When attempting to access heise.de, web browsers responded with a certificate error and an explanation.
A bright orange splash page informed Heise readers that due to copyright infringement, Heise had been rendered inaccessible. The message usually confronts internet users who attempt to access a specific set of sites previously identified as facilitators of mass online copyright infringement.
Heise had no idea why the message was being displayed but did find a common denominator. All of the readers reporting problems were using the same internet service provider 1&1 AG, a 3.9 billion telecoms group servicing 15.6 million fixed line and mobile customers.

ATMs Running Low on Cash and Even Out of Cash (Manchester, England) schestowitz.com
DO
not know if this is a global thing. I dont know if thats
true only for this country or for this city. I can speak about my
own area, and only my own area, for now (based
firsthand and direct experience)
When banks started to collapse about two weeks ago (about 4 banks so far, mostly in the US) it sort of started a chain reaction and the ripples arent over yet. Its a domino effect and theres latency, just like there was a large latency in 2008. It can take weeks or months to fully unfold. Governments intervene. Bailouts become bigger and bigger. Its impossible to justify these. The public rebels. Theres revolt. Whats left of the media changes side to appease angry readers. Journalists would rather not defend the rescue of thieves.
On the very same day it started (SVB, late Friday) we decided to ensure we have physical cash, just in case.
In 2020 when the lockdowns started the media kept mentioning that toilet paper was running out (of stock, at least in store). Such media reports initiated growing levels of unrest/panic. Its a case of self-feeding loops and a self-fulfilling prophecy. It didnt take long for people to hoard (inside their home) what was left, so stores everywhere had no toilet paper left or only very expensive brands (that fewer people were willing or capable of buying).
It seems safe to assume that right about now the maintream media would cooperate with the state to prevent runs on the banks or runs on ATMs (cash machines here). Its not easy to even withdraw large amounts from ones account in the high street branches (many branches have also shut down and repeatedly pressure people to use apps, i.e. do all the work for themselves). They added barriers.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, we received marketing spam/mail in the post (snail mail) from a company asking if we wish to sell our home with their help. Thats rather strange if not a rude thing to be asking. One day earlier I stumbled upon an article stating that home sales have generally plunged (or people wishing to sell cannot find a buyer not for the desired price anyway).
So one can generally see where the economy is heading
A week ago I read that in Russia, more so after the war, many Russians hoarded physical cash. They could not trust the banking system, so they probably just wished to diversify their holdings as a failsafe mechanism (not putting all eggs in one basket). With sanctions and all, who can blame them?
I assume the media here wont report the ATM situation, but this is a personal blo...

The Six Million Dollar Man Opening and Closing Theme (With Intro) HD Surround Lifeboat News: The Blog
Loads more TV Themes at: http://teeveesgreatest.webs.com/
The Six Million Dollar Man is an American science fiction and action television series about a former astronaut, Colonel Steve Austin, portrayed by American actor Lee Majors. Austin has superhuman strength due to bionic implants and is employed as a secret agent by a fictional U.S. government office named OSI The series was based on the Martin Caidin novel Cyborg, which. was the working title of the series during pre-production.
Following three television pilot movies, which all aired in 1973, the The Six Million Dollar Man aired on the ABC network as a regular episodic series for five seasons from 1974 to 1978. Steve Austin became a pop culture icon of the 1970s. A spin-off television series, The Bionic Woman, featuring the lead female character Jaime Sommers, ran from 1976 to 1978 (and was the subject of a remake in 2007). Three television movies featuring both bionic characters were also produced from 1987 to 1994.
When NASA astronaut Steve Austin is severely injured in the crash of an experimental lifting body aircraft, he is rebuilt in an operation that costs six million dollars. His right arm, both legs and the left eye are replaced with bionic implants that enhance his strength, speed and vision far above human norms: he can run at speeds of 60 mph (97 km/h), and his eye has a 20:1 zoom lens and infrared capabilities, while his bionic limbs all have the equivalent power of a bulldozer. He uses his enhanced abilities to work for the OSI (Office of Scientific Intelligence) as a secret agent.

Metallica is Selling So Many Vinyl Records It Bought its Own Factory SoylentNews
Metallica Is Selling so Many Vinyl Records It Bought Its Own Factory:
Despite technology bringing new recording media formats and improved compression algorithms, there is certainly a growing demand for vinyl again despite its death being announced several times over recent decades.
Metallica has bought a majority stake in Furnace Record Pressing, one of the biggest and most important vinyl records companies in the U.S. If anyone had any doubts about the growth of the vinyl sales, which last year outpaced CD sales for the first time since 1987, Metallica's new purchase just gave them a very loud reminder that what's old is new again.
Vinyl records are experiencing a renaissance among music lovers. Although Metallica hasn't released a new album since Hardwired...To Self-Destruct in 2016, it sold more than 387,000 vinyl albums in 2022, according to data from Billboard. That year, it ranked sixth on the list of most albums sold in the U.S., topping the 337,000 albums it sold in 2021.

[Cranktown City] uses a number of custom-built linear rails used as gantries for various tools in the shop. The first is on a plasma cutter, which is precise but difficult to set up or repair. Another is for mounting a camera, and while it is extremely durable, its not the most precise tool in the shop. Hoping to bridge the gap between these two, hes building another gantry with a custom bearing system, and to test it hell be using it to create patterns in icicles hanging from an eave at his shop.
While this isnt the final destination for this gantry, it is an excellent test of it, having to perform well for a long period of time in an extremely cold environment. The bearing system consists of a piece of square steel tubing turned 45 inside another larger square steel tube and held in place with two sets of three bearings with V-shaped notches. To drive the gantry he is using a motor with a belt drive, and for this test a piece of drip irrigation is mounted to it which lets out a predetermined amount of water on top of the roof to create numerous icicles beneath with various programmed lengths.
After a few test runs the gantry system can create some...

The talk about AI taking our programming jobs is everywhere. There are articles being written, social media going crazy, and comments on seemingly every one of my YouTube videos. And when I made my video about ChatGPT, I had two particular comments that stuck out to me. One was that someone wished I had included my opinion about AI in that video, and the other was asking if AI will make programmers obsolete in 5 years. This video is to do just that. And after learning, researching, and using many different AI tools over the last many months (a video about those tools coming soon), well lets just say I have many thoughts on this topic. What AI can do for programmers right now. How its looking to progress in the near future. And will it make programmers obsolete in the next 5 years? Enjoy!!

Amazon Has Cut 27 Thousand Jobs as Tech Crisis Also Worsens Down Under SoylentNews
Amazon will cut another 9,000 jobs bringing the total to 27,000 jobs culled so far as part of the 'tech wreck' sweeping the world.
The cuts will take place in coming weeks and are mainly concentrated in Amazon's web, HR and advertising team. Staff who look after Amazon's foray into Twitch livestreaming are also set to be impacted.
CEO Andy Jassy said the decision was made to ensure the company remained "streamlined" as tough market conditions bite across the globe.
Six days ago, another massive tech giant, Facebook owner Meta, also announced mass job redundancies. Meta chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg told employees that his company was laying off another 10,000 employees and closing about 5000 additional open roles in its own second major round of job cuts.
Closer to home, Australia has also been pummelled by the tough economic conditions. Earlier this month, ASX-listed software firm Xero announced that it was going to reduce its headcount by 700 to 800 roles, which was a 15 per cent cut to the overall workforce. A few days earlier, software giant Atlassian slashed 500 roles, which represents five per cent of its total global workforce. Another software development company, Kinde, laid off 28.5 per cent of staff at the end of last month.
I would certainly feel 'streamlined' or perhaps in free fall if I no longer had a job.

Visiting the Ramses the Great Exhibit. Antarctica Starts Here.
Early in October of 2022.ev, we paid a visit to an exhibit of artifacts at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco from the reign of Ramesses II, third ruler of the nineteenth dynasty of Egypt. Since covid started we haven't done a whole lot of going places so we figured that, all things in our respective risk models being equal, this would be an outing worth making the time for. As I write those post I don't know if it's still there, but the museum's page didn't 404 so it probably is. If you're in the area, it's worth paying the museum a visit and spending a few hours exploring.
Anyway, here are the pictures I took.

Nature of Plasma - REF Robert Temple Terra Forming Terra
Reading about the nature of plasma, i am inspired to advance our thinking. As i have posted, Cloud Cosmology throws up a plausible object which can be described best as a neutral neutron pair which can be expected to decay into an hydrogen atom with its own free electron. Understand that we posit self assembly of a range of particles beginning with the 'neutral' neutrino pair actually described better as a SPACE TIME pendulum, then to a 'neutral' electron positron pairing and from there to our neutral neutron pairs which ultimately decays into hydrtogen providing us with free electrons and positive ions. Besides the obvious, it is likely a whole range of intermediate partial constructs also emerge and when they decay, we identify them as cosmic rays.
What is interesting is that the neutral neutron pair is certainly not perfectly neutral but will act weakly at least along several axis. This permits the attachment of either negative or positive ions as well but not necessarily bound as we experience with what we are able to detect. It still means though that it should be possible to detect these objects and in fact we already have. Electrons will pop free when absorbing a photon and then reemit a photon. Thus we can see those clouds.
All this is a round about way to describe the nature of plasma. These objects are sticky enough to largely self assemble in order to produce potential complex atoms to fill the periodic table and explains a lot as well. I use the word potential because we only see that potential realized on the surface of the sun under both pressure and also dense radiation
The surface of the sun sees neutron pairs decaying into hydrogen gas which then emits radiation as electrons are grabbed. It is possible that the...

Fresh PCBs For the Quickshot II and II Plus Joysticks Hackaday
The Quickshot II was released by Spectravideo in 1983 for the Commodore 64 and compatible systems, with the Quickshot II Plus following the next year. After decades of regular use, its quite understandable that these old-timers may be having some functional issues, but as long as the plastic parts are still good, [Stephan Eckweiler]s replacement PCBs may be just the thing that these joysticks need to revitalize them for another few decades.
What may be a matter of taste is that these replace the nice tactile clicky switches on the QS II Plus with SMD push buttons, but compared to the stamped metal button construction of the original QS II, the new board is probably a major improvement. As for the BOM, it features two ICs: a 74LS00 latch and NE555 timer, along with the expected stack of passives and switches, both through-hole and SMD.
The PCB contains break-off boards for the switches within the joystick itself, requiring a bit of wiring to be run to the main PCB before soldering on the DE-9 connector and...

What Do Early Earth's Core Formation and Drip Coffee Have in Common? SoylentNews
A new technique developed by Carnegie's Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang provides fresh insight into the process by which the materials that formed Earth's core descended into the depths of our planet, leaving behind geochemical traces that have long mystified scientists. Their work is published by Science Advances.
Earth accreted from the disk of dust and gas that surrounded our Sun in its youth. As Earth grew from smaller objects over time, the densest material sank inward, separating the planet into distinct layersincluding the iron-rich metal core and silicate mantle.
"The segregation of the core and mantle is the most important event in the geologic history of Earth," explained Fei. "Convection in the outer core powers the Earth's magnetic field, shielding us from cosmic rays. Without it, life as we know it could not exist."
Each of our planet's layers has its own composition. Although the core is predominantly iron, seismic data indicates that some lighter elements, like oxygen, sulfur, silicon and carbon, were dissolved into it and brought along for the ride into the planet's center. Likewise, the mantle is predominately silicate, but its concentrations of so-called "iron-loving," or siderophile, elements have mystified scientists for decades.
[...] Using these tools, Wang and Fei developed a new method of tracing the movement of the core-forming liquid metal in their sample as it migrated inward. They showed that much like water filtering through coffee grounds, under the dynamic conditions found on early Earth, iron melts could have passed through the cracks between a layer of solid silicate crystalscalled a grain boundaryand exchanged chemical elements.

A hybrid unicycle that can move on the ground and fly Lifeboat News: The Blog
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, can help humans to tackle a variety of real-world problems; for instance, assisting them during military operations and search and rescue missions, delivering packages or exploring environments that are difficult to access. Conventional UAV designs, however, can have some shortcomings that limit their use in particular settings.
For instance, some UAVs might be unable to land on uneven terrains or pass through particularly narrow gaps, while others might consume too much power or only operate for short amounts of time. This makes them difficult to apply to more complex missions that require reliably moving in changing or unfavorable landscapes.
Researchers at Zhejiang University have recently developed a new unmanned, wheeled and hybrid vehicle that can both roll on the ground and fly. This unique system, introduced in a paper pre-published on arXiv, is based on a unicycle design (i.e., a cycling vehicle with a single wheel) and a rotor-assisted turning mechanism.

BitTorrent for Language Models Hackaday
In the old days of the Internet, FTP was sufficient for downloading the occasional file. But with the widespread use of computer audio and video, it was easy to swamp an FTP server so eventually BitTorrent was born. The idea was you would download bits and pieces of a file from different places and, in theory, people would download bits and pieces that you have if they need them. Now Petals wants to use this same method with language models. These AI language models are all the rage, but they take significant computer resources. The idea behind Petals is like BitTorrent. You handle a small part of the model (about 8 gigabytes which is small compared to the 352 gigabytes required), and other people have other parts.
Of course, if you are privacy-minded, that means that some amount of your data is going out to the public, but for your latest chatbot experiments, that might not be a big problem. You can install Petals in an Anaconda environment or run a Docker image if you dont want to set up anything. If you just want to access the distributed networks chatbot based on BLOOMZ-176B, you can do that online.

Zipline Unveils Quiet Drone Delivery Platform, Expands Operations SoylentNews
Zipline's new drones release tethered mini-drones for precision package deliveries
Zipline is revealing its new drone delivery platform today that the company says is capable of making a 10-mile delivery in 10 minutes, precisely placing packages on small targets like a patio table or the front steps of a home.
The new drone, which Zipline calls the Platform 2 (P2) Zip, uses a system of wires that lets down the package inside a cute little mini-bus-looking container the company describes as a "delivery droid." The P2 Zip hovers more than 300 feet above the ground at the delivery point, keeping its blades and noise away from people (and trees and wires and buildings) to let down its tethered droid instead.
The droid has the ability to steer with propellers as it's coming down, then lands and softly drops its payload.
[...] Similar to Wing's newly announced delivery network, Zipline says its P2 can dynamically move from dock to dock to charge up as needed and be ready to take orders. P2 can travel up to 24 miles one way without a payload and up to 10 miles while carrying six to eight pounds of weight. In comparison, Wing's drone can carry about three pounds and is technically capable of up to 12 miles of flight one way.

Identifying and Extracting Jupyter Notebook Structure It Will Never Work in Theory
Many of my data science colleagues use Jupyter notebooks or RMarkdown in their work, and they have all occasionally been misled by what they seen on the screen. Chunks of code in notebooks can be executed in any order or not executed at all, so it's possible (or even common) for plots, tables, and code to be out of sync. This paper presents a tool for tracing dataflow dependencies between cells that involves labeling the stages of a typical machine learning pipeline. The authors evaluated their tool by scraping notebooks created in GitHub repositories on two successive days (to avoid biases that might be introduced by only looking at notebooks from popular repositories), and found that their approach was more accurate than two previously-published techniques.
Computational notebooks are clearly here to stay, so it's great to see researchers looking at ways to make them better. And just as experience with the shortcomings of languages like C and C++ led to the design of languages like Rust, I hope that analysis of the problems with today's notebooks will lead to the design of languages that are naturally more notebook-friendly.
Yuan Jiang, Christian Kastner, and Shurui Zhou. Elevating jupyter notebook maintenance tooling by identifying and extracting notebook structures. In 2022 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). IEEE, Oct 2022. doi:10.1109/icsme55016.2022.00047.
Data analysis is an exploratory, interactive, and often collaborative process. Computational notebooks have become a popular tool to support this process, among others because of their ability to interleave code, narrative text, and results. However, notebooks in practice are often criticized as hard to maintain and being of low code quality, including problems such as unused or duplicated code and out-of-order code execution. Data scientists can benefit from better tool support when maintaining and evolving notebooks. We argue that central to such tool support is identifying the structure of notebooks. We present a lightweight and accurate approach to extract notebook structure and outline several ways such structure can be used to improve maintenance tooling for notebooks, including navigation and finding alternatives.

Google Wont Honor Medical Leave During its Layoffs, Outraging Employees SoylentNews
Ex-Googler says she was laid off from her hospital bed shortly after giving birth:
Would you believe that Google's mass firings from January are still going on? Google's reported mishandling of its biggest round of layoffs ever has employees up in arms, and they're doing everything from walking out on the job to sending angry letters to management.
First up, European Googlers are just now being laid off due to the January announcement. Reuters reports that more than 200 workers were laid off from the Zurich, Switzerland, branch of the company this week. The employees at that office walked out for a second time in protest of the move and even offered to take pay cuts or reduce working hours to stave off the job cuts. Google's layoffs seem driven by a desire to placate the stock market, though, so it's no surprise that these offers fell on deaf ears.
[...] Making Google honor its previous leave agreements isn't just about employees getting paid when they have medical or family issues; it's also about having continual medical care when they need it most. As part of Google's (seemingly discarded) plan to offer employees every perk imaginable, the company has on-site medical facilities that many employees make use of.
While employees' severance packages might come with a few more months of health insurance, being fired means instantly losing access to Google's facilities. If that's where a laid-off Googler's primary care doctor works, that person is out of luck, and some employees told CNBC they lost access to their doctors the second the layoff email arrived. Employees on leave also have a lot to deal with. One former Googler, Kate Howells, said she was let go by Google from her hospital bed shortly after giving birth. She worked at the company for nine years.

In October 2022, Kaspersky researchers uncovered a malware campaign aimed at infecting government, agriculture and transportation organizations located in the Donetsk, Lugansk, and Crimea regions with a previously undetected framework dubbed CommonMagic.
Researchers believe that threat actors use spear phishing as an initial attack vector, the messages include an URL pointing to a ZIP archive hosted on a web server under the control of the attackers. The archive contained two files, a decoy document (i.e. PDF, XLSX and DOCX versions) and a malicious LNK file with a double extension (i.e., .pdf.lnk) used to start the infection and deploy the PowerMagic backdoor.
Kaspersky attributes the attack to a new APT group operating in the area of Russo-Ukrainian conflict and tracked as Bad magic.
The experts noticed that TTPs observed during this campaign have no direct link to any known campaigns.
PowerMagic is a PowerShell backdoor that executes arbitrary commands sent by C2, then it exfiltrates data to cloud services like Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive.
When started, the backdoor creates a m...

About channel capacity and sub-channels Daniel Estvez
The Shannon-Hartley theorem describes the maximum rate at which information can be sent over a bandwidth-limited AWGN channel. This rate is called the channel capacity. If \(B\) is the bandwidth of the channel in Hz, \(S\) is the signal power (in units of W), and \(N_0\) is the noise power spectral density (in units of W/Hz), then the channel capacity \(C\) in units of bits per second is\[C = B \log_2\left(1 + \frac{S}{N_0B}\right).\]
Let us now consider that we make \(n\) sub-channels, by selecting \(n\) disjoint bandwidth intervals contained in the total bandwidth of the channel. We denote the bandwidth of these sub-channels by \(B_j\), \(j = 1,\ldots,n\). Clearly, we have the constraint \(\sum_{j=1}^n B_j \leq B\). Likewise, we divide our total transmit power \(S\) into the \(n\) sub-channels, allocating power \(S_j\) to the signal in the sub-channel \(j\). We have \(\sum_{j=1}^n S_j = S\). Under these conditions, each sub-channel will have capacity \(C_j\), given by the formula above with \(B_j\) and \(S_j\) in place of \(B\) and \(S\).
The natural question regards using the \(n\) sub-channels in parallel to transmit data: what is the maximum of the sum \(\sum_{j=1}^n C_j\) under these conditions and how can it be achieved? It is probably clear from the definition of channel capacity that this sum is always smaller or equal than \(C\). After all, by dividing the channel into sub-channels we cannot do any better than by considering it as a whole.
People used to communications theory might find intuitive that we can achieve \(\sum_{j=1}^n C_j = C\), and that this happens if and only if we use all the bandwidth (\(\sum_{j=1}^n B_j = B\)) and the SNRs of the sub-channels, defined by \(S_j/(N_0B_j)\), are all equal, so that \(S_j = SB_j/B\). After all, this is pretty much how OFDM and other channelized communication methods work. In this post I give an easy proof of this result.
First of all, since the expression \(B_j \log_2(1+S_j/(N_0B_j))\) is increasing in \(B_j\), if \(\sum_{j=1}^nB_j < B\), then we can increase some of the values of the \(B_j\) until we have the equality, increasing as a consequence the sum \(\sum_{j=1}^n C_j\). Therefore, we can restrict ourselves to the case when \(\sum_{j=1}^nB_j = B\).
Now we consider that \(B_j\) are fixed and apply Langrange multipliers to find the extrema of the function\[f(S_1,\ldots,S_n) = \sum_{j=1}^n B_j \log\left(1 + \frac{S_j}{N_0B_j}\right)\]subject to the condition \(\sum_{j=1}^n S_j = S\). This gives the system of equations\[B_j\left(1+\frac{S_j}{N_0B_j}\right)^{-1}\frac{1}{N_0B_j} + \lambda = 0,\]where \(\lambda\) is the Langrange multiplier. These equations can be rearranged as\[\frac{S_j}{B_j} = -N_0 \frac{1}{\lambda}.\] It follows that the quotients \(S_j/B_j\) are all equal.
Now we write \(S_j/...

Trial of 2016 Twitter Troll to Test Limits of Online Speech SoylentNews
The goal, federal prosecutors said, was to suppress votes for Ms. Clinton by persuading her supporters to falsely believe they could cast presidential ballots by text message:
The misinformation campaign was carried out by a group of conspirators, prosecutors said, including a man in his 20s who called himself Ricky Vaughn. On Monday he will go on trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn under his real name, Douglass Mackey, after being charged with conspiring to spread misinformation designed to deprive others of their right to vote.
"The defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one of the most basic and sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution," Nicholas L. McQuaid, acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Criminal Division, said in 2021 when charges against Mr. Mackey were announced.
Prosecutors have said that Mr. Mackey, who went to Middlebury College in Vermont and said he lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, used hashtags and memes as part of his deception and outlined his strategies publicly on Twitter and with co-conspirators in private Twitter group chats.
[...] Mr. Mackey's trial is expected to provide a window into a small part of what the authorities have described as broad efforts to sway the 2016 election through lies and disinformation. While some of those attempts were orchestrated by Russian security services, others were said to have emanated from American internet trolls.
Just a few days ago the trial was delayed after a witness was allegedly intimidated into withdrawing his testimony.

3D-Printed Parts Dont Slow Down This Speedy Printer Hackaday
Truth be told, we generally find speed sports to be a little boring. Whether its cars going around in circles for hours on end or swimmers competing to be a few milliseconds faster than everyone else, we just dont feel the need for speed. Unless, of course, youre talking about speedy 3D printers like The 100, which claims to produce high-quality prints in a tenth the time of an ordinary printer. In that case, youve got our full attention.
What makes [Matt the Printing Nerd]s high-speed printer interesting isnt the fact that it can do a Speedboat Run printing a standard Benchy model in less than six minutes. Plenty of printers can do the same thing much, much faster. The impressive part is that The 100 does it with a 3D-printed frame. In fact, most of the printers parts are 3d printed, a sign...

RIAA Hunts Pre-Release Music Pirates Behind UnreleasedSounds.gg TorrentFreak
Human beings have a tendency to want things they cant
have. A modest interest in a particular item or activity can
inexplicably soar when its recognized as rare or unavailable. When
strictly forbidden, even regular fruit can prove irresistible.
Spotify offers 100 million tracks to hear right now, including the vast majority of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Yet for some, the lure of an unreleased track can outweigh every single one of them; unattainable, forbidden and rare is a potent mix and may explain why pirates are paying silly money for leaked, pirated music.
Dozens of Avicii Leaks
When producer Tim Bergling passed away in 2018, the prospect of never hearing a new Avicii track was suddenly very real. Two albums and various tracks were eventually released, but then PAB happened.
In 2022 the Public Avicii Buy Server (PAB) channel on Discord became a hot location for unreleased Avicii tracks. Faced with having to pay for them, fans worked to groupbuy a long list of Avicii tracks including Lets Roll and Lethal Drug V2 which featured Chris Martin & SZA.
Sources Unknown But Some Files Were Apparently Stolen
How the music was obtained isnt clear; some believed the PAB seller bought the tracks and then sold them to fellow Avicii fans at cost price. Others spoke of hacked accounts and big profits. Late 2022, after another PAB release (Island) appeared online, a Reddit user jumped in to comment
Hey guys! My name is Jonas Wallin and my alias is The High, the music producer posted on Reddit.
I wrote Island and its coming out soon in fact. The leaked vocals are mine, my vocal stems. Its the same with Loving Feeling. I would recommend you to not pay someone for these files since they were stolen from me. Thanks.
RIAA Investigates Unreleased Sounds

New ShellBot bot targets poorly managed Linux SSH Servers Security Affairs
New ShellBot DDoS bot malware, aka PerlBot, is targeting poorly managed Linux SSH servers, ASEC researchers warn.
AhnLab Security Emergency response Center (ASEC) discovered a new variant of the ShellBot malware that was employed in a campaign that targets poorly managed Linux SSH servers.
The ShellBot, also known as PerlBot, is a Perl-based DDoS bot that uses IRC protocol for C2 communications.
The ShellBot performs SSH bruteforce attacks on servers that have port 22 open, it uses a dictionary containing a list of known SSH credentials.
The ShellBot malware strains that are going to be covered in this post are believed to have been installed after threat actors used account credentials that have been obtained through the use of scanners and SSH BruteForce malware on target systems. reads the ASECs report. After scanning systems that have operational port 22s, threat actors search for systems where the SSH service is active and uses a list of commonly used SSH account credentials to initiate their dictionary attack.
Below is a list of the account credentials used by ShellBot operators to compromise the target servers:
| User | Password |
|---|---|
| deploy | password |
| hadoop | hadoop |
| oracle | oracle |
| root | 11111 |
| root | Passw0rd |
| ttx | ttx2011 |
| ubnt | ubnt |
The researchers categorized the ShellBot into three different groups since threat actors can create their own versions: LiGhTs Modded perlbot v2, DDoS PBot v2.0, and PowerBots (C) GohacK.
LiGhTs Modded perlbot v2 and DDoS PBot v2.0 supports multiple DDoS attack commands using HTTP, TCP, and UDP protocols. The PowerBots (C) GohacK supports backdoor features, including reverse shell and file downloading capabilities.
The researchers recommend using strong passwords for admin accounts and changing them periodically to protect the Linux server from brute force attacks and dictionary attacks. They also recommend keeping the servers up to date and using security programs.
If ShellBot is installed, Linux servers can be used as DDoS Bots for DDoS attacks against specific targets after receiving a command from the threat actor. Moreover, the threat actor could use various other backdoor features to install additional malware or launch different t...

NASA's Commercial Partner to Visit the Far Side of the Moon SoylentNews
NASA's commercial partner to visit the far side of the moon:
NASA has big plans for the moon. From sending the first crewed mission to land on its surface in 50 years to setting up a space station in orbit, the agency has multiple missions planned for exploring our planet's satellite. These include partnerships with a number of private companies as well as NASA-developed projects, such as under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, program which will contract out the transportation of small payloads to the moon.
This week, NASA announced it has selected the company Firefly Aerospace to develop a commercial lander for the far side of the moon. The lander, called Blue Ghost, will be used to deliver several NASA payloads to the moon, including a radio observation mission which is placed on the far side of the moon to minimize the radio noise coming from Earth. This natural radio quiet zone will let the Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment-Night (LuSEE-Night) telescope detect faint radio waves from an early period of the universe known as the cosmic dark ages.
[...] As well as LuSEE-Night, Firefly will also be tasked with carrying a communications and data relay satellite called Lunar Pathfinder, which is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, and which will be deployed into orbit before the lander sets down on the moon's surface. In addition, the NASA User Terminal payload will assist with communications, and there will be up to seven other payloads from private companies included as well.
[...] Firefly had a troubled start to its orbital ambitions when its first attempt to reach orbit with its Alpha rocket in September 2021 ended in an explosive failure. But a year later, its second attempt at orbital launch was successful and the rocket was able to deploy its orbital payloads.
The aim is for Firefly to launch its lunar mission, Blue Ghost Mission 1, in 2024.

2022 Zero-Day exploitation continues at a worrisome pace Security Affairs
Experts warn that 55 zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited in attacks carried out by ransomware and cyberespionage groups in 2022.
Cybersecurity firm Mandiant reported that ransomware and cyberespionage groups exploited 55 zero-day flaws in attacks in the wild.
Most of the zero-day vulnerabilities were in software from Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
The figures show a decrease from 2021, but experts pointed out that they represent almost triple the number from 2020.
The majority of the zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited by China-linked threat actors as part of their cyberespionage campaigns.
The researchers reported that only four zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited by financially motivated threat actors, with 75% of these instances linked to ransomware attacks.
Products from Microsoft, Google, and Apple made up the majority of zero-day vulnerabilities in 2022, consistent with previous years. The most exploited product types were operating systems (OS) (19), followed by browsers (11), security, IT, and network management products (10), and mobile OS (6). reads the report published by Mandiant.

Low-Cost Device Can Measure Air Pollution Anywhere SoylentNews
Open-source tool from MIT's Senseable City Lab lets people check air quality, cheaply.
Air pollution is a major public health problem: The World Health Organization has estimated that it leads to over 4 million premature deaths worldwide annually. Still, it is not always extensively measured. But now an MIT research team is rolling out that could enable people to track air quality more widely.
The detector, called Flatburn, can be made by 3D printing or by ordering inexpensive parts. The researchers have now tested and calibrated it in relation to existing state-of-the-art machines, and are publicly releasing all the information about it - how to build it, use it, and interpret the data.
The Flatburn concept at Senseable City Lab dates back to about 2017, when MIT researchers began prototyping a mobile pollution detector, originally to be deployed on garbage trucks in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The detectors are battery-powered and rechargable, either from power sources or a solar panel, with data stored on a card in the device that can be accessed remotely.
In both cases, the detectors were set up to measure concentrations of fine particulate matter as well as nitrogen dioxide, over an area of about 10 meters. Fine particular matter refers to tiny particles often associated with burning matter, from power plants, internal combustion engines in autos and fires, and more.
"The goal is for community groups or individual citizens anywhere to be able to measure local air pollution, identify its sources, and, ideally, create feedback loops with officials and stakeholders to create cleaner conditions," says Carlo Ratti, director of MIT's Senseable City Lab.

Modern Network Packet brokers use Packet truncation technique to optimize the processing of network traffic which involves the removal of portions of network packets that are not needed for analysis.
Need for Packet Truncation
Reduce Storage: Network traffic payload can be very large (64 to 9216), and storing everything will be expensive. Packet truncation helps reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored by removing irrelevant or redundant information from packets.
Reduce CPU Cycles: Truncated packets require less processing to analyze, which can improve the overall speed and performance of the tools.
Simplify Analysis: Network administrators can easily identify network performance issues more quickly and efficiently since truncated packets have the relevant portions of the packet.
Improve Security: By removing sensitive information from the payload, security can be improved by limiting the exposure of confidential data.
Open Packet Broker for Truncation
Aviz Open Packet Broker industry first Packet broker solution built on Open Networking NOS SONiC supporting truncation on commodity ASICs supporting wire-speed packet truncation. Open Packet broker truncation has the following capabilities.
- Packet Truncation based on custom offsets (48 bytes to 4094 bytes).
- VLAN tag insertion for truncated packets for different tooling purposes.
- Load Balance across tools for optimal processing
Packet Truncation or slicing will allow only the user-defined byte from an incoming packet, and the remaining bytes are discarded. This helps in reducing the quantity of data processed on the tool port.

Vinyl Sales Ran Circles Around CDs in 2022 Hackaday
How do you take your music these days? For those in Camp Tangible, it seems our ranks are certainly growing, and in the analog direction. For the first time since 1987, vinyl record sales have outperformed CD sales in the US, according to a new report. The CD, which saved us all from the cassette, was a digital revolution in music. But for some, the love was lost somewhere among the ones and zeroes.
Those who prefer pure analog troughs of sound cut into wax have never given up on vinyl, and the real ones probably gobbled up a bunch of it in the 90s when everybody was CD-crazy. But mind you these arent used vinyl sales were talking about, which means that enough new vinyl has to have been readily available for purchase for quite some time now. Although it doesnt really seem like that long, new vinyls been back for almost 20 years and according to the report, 2022 was the 16th consecutive year of growth for record sales.
So Why Vinyl?
Nostalgia aint what it used to be, but there was a time in my 1980s childhood when vinyl was all this scribe had to listen to. I have historically been a bit slow to adopt new music formats I didnt have a CD player until 1998, and it was given to...

Fourier Transformations Reveal How AI Learns Complex Physics Lifeboat News: The Blog
One of the oldest tools in computational physics a 200-year-old mathematical technique known as Fourier analysis can reveal crucial information about how a form of artificial intelligence called a deep neural network learns to perform tasks involving complex physics like climate and turbulence modeling, according to a new study.
The discovery by mechanical engineering researchers at Rice University is described in an open-access study published in the journal PNAS Nexus, a sister publication of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This is the first rigorous framework to explain and guide the use of deep neural networks for complex dynamical systems such as climate, said study corresponding author Pedram Hassanzadeh. It could substantially accelerate the use of scientific deep learning in climate science, and lead to much more reliable climate change projections.

Metal-Detecting Drone Could Autonomously Find Landmines IEEE Spectrum
Metal detecting can be a fun hobby, or it can be a task to be completed in deadly earnestif the buried treasure youre searching for includes landmines and explosive remnants of war. This is an enormous, dangerous problem: Something like 12,000 square kilometers worldwide are essentially useless and uninhabitable because of the threat of buried explosives, and thousands and thousands of people are injured or killed every year.
While there are many different ways of detecting mines and explosives, none of them are particularly quick or easy. For obvious reasons, sending a human out into a minefield with a metal detector is not the safest way of doing things. So, instead, people send anything else that they possibly can, from machines that can smash through minefields with brute force to well-trained rats that take a more passive approach by sniffing out explosive chemicals.
Because the majority of mines are triggered by pressure or direct proximity, a drone seems like it would be the ideal way of detecting them non-explosively. However, unless youre only detecting over a perfectly flat surface (and perhaps not even then) your detector wont be positioned ideally most of the time, and you might miss something, which is not a viable option for mine detection.
But now a novel combination of a metal detector and a drone with five degrees of freedom is under development at the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich. It may provide a viable solution to remote landmine detection, by using careful sensing and localization along with some twisting motors to keep the detector reliably close to the ground.
The really tricky part of this whole thing is making sure that the metal detector stays at the correct orientation relative to the ground surface so theres no dip in its effectiveness. With a conventional drone, this wouldnt work at all, because every time the drone moves in any direction but up or down, it has to tilt, which i...

Internet Archives Copyright Battle with Book Publishers Nears Climax TorrentFreak
In 2020, publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, John Wiley
and Penguin Random House
sued the Internet Archive (IA) for copyright infringement,
equating its Open Library to a pirate site.
IAs library is a non-profit organization that scans physical books, which can then be lent out to patrons in an ebook format.
Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can get a copy. These restrictions were temporarily loosened at the height of the Covid epidemic when IA launched the National Emergency Library.
Mass Copyright Infringement or Fair Use?
The publishers see IAs library as a rogue operation that engages in willful mass copyright infringement, directly damaging their bottom line. As such, they want it permanently taken down.
Without any license or any payment to authors or publishers, IA scans print books, uploads these illegally scanned books to its servers, and distributes verbatim digital copies of the books in whole via public-facing websites, their complaint reads.
The publishers are not against libraries per se, nor do they object to ebook lending. When lending digital content, authorized libraries typically obtain a license or negotiate specific terms. The Internet Archive has no such license.
The Internet Archive wholeheartedly disagrees with the copyright infringement allegations. Stressing that the library offers a vital service, Internet Archives defense centers on the legal concept of fair use.
The Archive states that making a digital copy of a physical book transforms the original work before it is loaned to one patron at a time. That would qualify as fair use, they argue, especially since there is no profit motive.
Another factor in favor of fair use is the fact that there are numerous benefits to the public at large. There is also no evidence to show that the book publishers sales or traditional licensing revenues were impacted.
New York Court Hearing
Over the past two-and-a-half years, the parties have gone back and forth in court, disputing each others arguments. This eventually resulted in contrasting motions for summary judgment, with both sides hoping for a ruling in their favor ahead of the trial.

Why Sleeper Trains are Being Revived Across Europe SoylentNews
Why sleeper trains are being revived across Europe:
[...] Living in the Swedish capital Stockholm, the 33-year-old regularly travels by rail, not only to visit her family in Luxembourg, but also to her holiday destinations.
She favours train travel over flying mainly for environmental reasons. Yet she adds that trains are simply more enjoyable, especially sleeper services.
[...] The carbon footprint is just a fraction of a flight. Flying from Stockholm to Hamburg results in around 250kg of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger, according to calculation website EcoPassenger. By contrast, the C02 released by travelling via electric-powered train is just 26kg.
The SJ night train has nine coaches, and capacity to carry 400 passengers. Dan Olofsson, head of tendered services at SJ, says the new service was proposed by the Swedish government, "as they wanted to move more people towards climate-friendly travelling, and one of the solutions was the night train between Sweden and Germany".
The service is powered by renewable energy, and Mr Olofsson says it is typically being used by Swedes to connect them to other rail services from Hamburg.
"Hamburg isn't the main destination for most travellers, but is an important hub for people to reach more destinations in Germany and France and so on," he says.
[...] However, depending on the location, and especially if starting from the UK, travelling by train can often be more expensive than flying. Trains fares in the UK can in fact be 50% more costly than flights, according to a 2021 study by consumer choice magazine Which?.
"Like flying, you do need to book ahead to find a cheaper price," says Mark Smith, founder of train guide website Seat61. "But you need to remember airlines pay no duty on fuel.

New Part Day: TI Jumps In To The Cheap MCU Market Hackaday
One of the interesting areas in the world of new parts recently has been at the lower end of the microcontroller market. Not because the devices there have new capabilities or are especially fast, but because they are cheap. There are now quite a few parts from China under 10 cents apiece, but have the Western manufacturers been able to follow suit? Not quite, but Texas Instruments has a new line of ARM Cortex M0+ parts that get under 40 cents in volume in their cheapest form.
That bottom-of-the-range chip is the MSPM0L1105, a single-core 32 MHz part with 32k of Flash and 4k of RAM. Its got all the usual peripherals youd expect on a small microcontroller, but the one which made our heads turn was the on-board 1.45-Msps ADC. On a cheap chip, thats much faster than expected.
So theres another microcontroller, and its not as cheap as some of its competition, so what? Aside from that ADC there are several reasons to be interested, it has TIs developer support if youre in that ecosystem, and inevitably it will find its way on to the dev boards and SBCs we use in our community. It remains to be seen how it will fare in terms of the chip shortage though.

Civil Rights Organizations File Amicus Brief in Support of EFF Lawsuit Against Discriminatory SFPD Surveillance Deeplinks
Intern Taylor Fox contributed to this blog post.
At the height of the George Floyd protests in 2020, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) spied on thousands of demonstrators in real time by using a business districts network of over 300 cameras. The SFPD targeted protests against police brutality led by Black people and other people of color, chilling future racial justice protests by making people less likely to come out in the future out of fear of reprisals from police. The SFPDs surveillance also violated San Franciscos Surveillance Technology Ordinancefought for by marginalized groupswhich requires city agencies to get the Board of Supervisors approval before using surveillance technology. The SFPD failed to get Board approval, so EFF and the ACLU of Northern California sued San Francisco on behalf of three community organizers and the case is now on appeal.
This January, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus (ALC) and Black Movement Law Project (BMLP), along with 18 other civil rights and grassroots organizations, filed an amicus brief in support of our lawsuit. These organizations detailed SFPDs long history of spying on San Franciscos communities of color and political dissidents. In the 1890s, for example, SFPDs Chinatown Squadone of the countrys earliest police forces used explicitly to address a panic over ethnic crimewas raiding Chinese homes and businesses and in some cases physically destroying them with axes. This was shortly after the city spent two decades surveilling Chinatown and mapping every room of every building there.
A century later, in the 1970s, SFPD rebranded the Chinatown Squad as a Gang Task Force, which ultimately lost a class-action lawsuit for dragnet surveillance and arrests in Chinese communities. Around the same time, the SFPDs Intelligence Unit wiretapped and spied on meetings of groups that fought for civil rights or against imperialism. After 9/11, the police chief called for recreating the Intelligence Unit and joked publicly about Arab residents of the city blowing up buildings. Shortly after, a civil rights coalition uncovered records showing that SFPD stopped auditing its intelligence gathering and secretly agreed to share in...

Crooks stole more than $1.5M worth of Bitcoin from General Bytes ATMs Security Affairs
Cryptocurrency ATM maker General Bytes suffered a security breach over the weekend, the hackers stole $1.5M worth of cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency ATM manufacturers General Bytes suffered a security incident that resulted in the theft of $1.5M worth of cryptocurrency. GENERAL BYTES is the worlds largest Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency ATM manufacturer.
The company revealed that the threat actors exploited a zero-day vulnerability, tracked as BATM-4780, that resides in the master service interface that Bitcoin ATMs use to upload videos. Once exploited the flaw, the remote attackers uploaded a JavaScript script and executed it with batm user privileges.
The attacker identified a security vulnerability in the master service interface used by Bitcoin ATMs to upload videos to server. reported the Security Incident notice published by the company.
The attacker scanned the Digital Ocean cloud hosting IP address space and identified running CAS services on ports 7741, including the General Bytes Cloud service and other GB ATM operators running their servers on Digital Ocean (our recommended cloud hosting provider). Using this security vulnerability, attacker uploaded his own application directly to application server used by admin interface. Application server was by default configured to start applications in its deployment folder.
Once executed the uploaded script the attackers gained access to the database and were able to read and decrypt API keys used to access funds in hot wallets and exchanges.
The attackers were able to send funds from hot wallets and download user names and password hashes. The hackers were also able to turn off the two-factor authentication (2FA).
The threat actors also gained access to terminal event logs and scan for any instance where customers scanned private key at the ATM.

Building the Worlds Largest Nintendo 3DS Hackaday
While the Nintendo 3DS was capable of fairly impressive graphics (at least for a portable system) back in its heyday, theres little challenge in emulating the now discontinued handheld on a modern computer or even smartphone. One thing thats still difficult to replicate though is the stereoscopic 3D display the system was named for. But this didnt stop [BigRig Creates] from creating this giant 3DS with almost all of the features of an original console present.
The main hurdle here is that the stereoscopic effect that Nintendo used to allow the 3DS to display 3D graphics without special glasses doesnt work well at long distances, and doesnt work at all if there is more than one player. To get around those limitations, this build uses a 3D TV with active glasses. This TV is mounted to a bar stool with the help of some counterweights, and a second touch-sensitive screen courtesy of McDonalds makes up the other display.

Recalling the Future and TIME Terra Forming Terra
Understand that time as we know it looks continous when it is actually experienced a page at a time. Those pages are super thin and it may well be that we actually recall those pages by jumping along a few pages at a time. Why would we not?
It is also reported that a need to jump forward or backward in time is actually accomadated when it does not cause problems. Such as completing a four hour road trip often done in side two hours. This was actually treported to me by an informant who got to understand that I am thinking about TIME. This alone tells me that this is not uncommon.
It is just that we are not running around noticing this, or if noticed, we are not talking about it. A little like UFOs and Bigfoot.
My take home is that our mind can and will recall a future page when it suits us and that often closes the loop on new knowledge. This makes remembering the past a good way to locked into some past truth and clearly explains the natural rejection of new knowledge when presented. That is likely why wee teach new knowldege to thirty or so students at a time. It allows the bias to be overcome.

AMD Allegedly Testing Hybrid Processor With Zen 4 and 4c Cores SoylentNews
AMD Allegedly Testing Hybrid Processor with Zen 4 and 4c Cores:
An unannounced AMD processor identified as Family 25 Model 120 Stepping 0 recently showed up in the MilkyWay@Home database. The CPU can process 12 threads simultaneously and the CPU expert @InstLatX64 believes that this is AMD's codenamed Phoenix 2 processor, packing two high-performance Zen 4 cores and four energy-efficient Zen 4c cores.
AMD Eng Sample processor marked 100-000000931-21_N [Family 25 Model 120 Stepping 0] features 12 logical cores (i.e., six physical cores with simultaneous multithreading) and reports about 1MB of cache, which indicates that the MilkyWay@Home client cannot correctly determine the amount of cache featured by the chip. The listing itself does not prove that we are dealing with AMD's hybrid Phoenix 2 processor with Big.Little-like core configuration, but six physical/12 logical cores featured by an unknown CPU gives us a hint that this may match the rumors.
AMD's Phoenix 2 processor (which does not have a lot in common with the company's Phoenix APU) is rumored to feature two 'big' Zen 4 cores with 2MB L2 and 4MB L3 cache as well as four 'small' Zen 4c cores equipped with 4MB L2 and 4MB L3 cache, which is a rather surprising cache configuration. The APU is also said to pack an RDNA 3-based integrated GPU with 512 stream processors and has a DDR5/LPDDR5X-supporting memory subsystem, according to 3DCenter. @InstLatX64 claims that AMD's Phoenix 2 APU has an A70F8x CPUID, whereas CoelacanthDream asserts that the CPUID of the processor is 0x00a70f80.

Humans Don't Hibernate, but We Still Need More Winter Sleep SoylentNews
Although seasonality in animal sleep is well known, we've assumed humans are different:
Whether we're night owls or morning larks, our body clocks are set by the sun. Theoretically, changing day length and light exposure over the course of the year could affect the duration and quality of our sleep. But figuring out how this applies in practice is difficult. Although studies where people assess their own sleep have suggested an increase in sleep duration during winter, objective measures are needed to determine how exactly the seasons affect sleep. Scientists studying sleep difficulties have now published data in Frontiers in Neuroscience that shows that, even in an urban population experiencing disrupted sleep, humans experience longer REM sleep in winter than summer and less deep sleep in autumn.
"Possibly one of the most precious achievements in human evolution is an almost invisibility of seasonality on the behavioral level," said Dr Dieter Kunz, corresponding author of the study, based at the Clinic of Sleep & Chronomedicine at the St Hedwig Hospital, Berlin. "In our study we show that human sleep architecture varies substantially across seasons in an adult population living in an urban environment."
[...] Even though the patients were based in an urban environment with low natural light exposure and high light pollution, which should affect any seasonality regulated by light, the scientists found subtle but striking changes across the seasons. Although total sleep time appeared to be about an hour longer in the winter than the summer, this result was not statistically significant. However, REM sleep was 30 minutes longer in the winter than in summer. REM sleep is known to be directly linked to the circadian clock, which is affected by changing light. Although the team acknowledged that these results would need to be validated in a population which experiences no sleep difficulties, the seasonal changes may be even greater in a healthy population.
[...] "Seasonality is ubiquitous in any living being on this planet," said Kunz. "Even though we still perform unchanged, over the winter human physiology is down-regulated, with a sensation of 'running-on-empty' in February or March. In general, societies need to adjust sleep habits including length and timing to season, or adjust school and working schedules to seasonal sleep needs."

Cold War Listening Post Antennas Hackaday
With a UHF antenna, it is easy to rotate a directional antenna to find the bearing to a transmitter. But at HF, it is more common to use an array of antennas that you can electrically switch as well as analyze the phase information between the elements. [Ringway Manchester] has a look at the elephant cage antenna used by the US Iron Horse listening network from the 1950s. You can see a video about the giant antenna system, the AN/FLR-9.
Technically, the ring of concentric antenna elements forms a Wullenweber antenna. The whole thing consists of three rings built on a ground screen nearly 1,500 feet across. The outer ring covers from 1.5 to 6 MHz or band A. The band B ring in the center covers 6 to 18 MHz. The inner ring covers band C which was from 18 to 30 MHz. Band A was made up of 48 monopoles while band B used 96 elements. The much smaller band C elements were 48 pairs of horizontally polarized dipoles.
These listening posts could, together, locate an HF signal up to 4,000 nautical miles away. The Wullenweber design, as you may have guessed from the name, originated with the German navy during World War II. It found use in several other systems, although they are relatively rare today, with all of the AN/FLR-9 sites gone.

Reality Doesnt Exist Until We Measure It, Quantum Experiment Confirms Lifeboat News: The Blog
Australian scientists have recreated a famous experiment and confirmed quantum physicss bizarre predictions about the nature of reality, by proving that reality doesnt actually exist until we measure it at least, not on the very small scale.
That all sounds a little mind-meltingly complex, but the experiment poses a pretty simple question: if you have an object that can either act like a particle or a wave, at what point does that object decide?
Our general logic would assume that the object is either wave-like or particle-like by its very nature, and our measurements will have nothing to do with the answer. But quantum theory predicts that the result all depends on how the object is measured at the end of its journey. And thats exactly what a team from the Australian National University has now found.

Seattle Commute Survey Reveals Big Shift in When and How Workers are Traveling Into City SoylentNews
Remote and hybrid work has altered our understanding of where and how we do our jobs:
A new survey released Thursday from the University of Washington's Mobility Innovation Center and Commute Seattle reveals travel trends that have taken root three years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data, collected last fall, is further evidence of the shift in habits that is impacting Seattle's downtown core.
Among the findings:
- Seattle workers are more likely to physically commute to their workplace on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In the Center City, 39% of people telework on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Monday and Friday, they are much more likely to telework with 57% of people teleworking on Friday.

[...] The mid-week in-person trend is backed up by what small business owners are seeing and feeling around parts of downtown Seattle and South Lake Union, where Amazon, Google, Facebook and other large tech companies have offices.
[...] Amazon's call to require corporate and tech workers back in the office at least three days a week was welcome news to restaurant owners, food truck operators and others who have been impacted by the lack of foot traffic since remote work took hold in 2020.
During DSA's annual "State of Downtown" event this week, the organization's president, Jon Scholes, said, "There's a lot at stake," in getting workers back to the office in the urban core. "We built a physical economy, not a virtual one. And it has fed this tax base that has been so important to the quality of life that we've created in this city."

Modifying Artwork With Glaze To Interfere With Art Generating Algorithms Hackaday
With the rise of machine-generated art we have also seen a major discussion begin about the ethics of using existing, human-made art to train these art models. Their defenders will often claim that the original art cannot be reproduced by the generator, but this is belied by the fact that one possible query to these generators is to produce art in the style of a specific artist. This is where feature extraction comes into play, and the Glaze tool as a potential obfuscation tool.
Developed by researchers at the University of Chicago, the theory behind this tool is covered in their preprint paper. The essential concept is that an artist can pick a target cloak style, which is used by Glaze to calculate specific perturbations which are added to the original image. These perturbations are not easily detected by the human eye, but will be picked up by the feature extraction algorithms of current machine-generated art models.
As a result, when this model is then asked to generate art in the style of this artist who cloaked their art, the result will be art in the style...

Acropalypse flaw in Google Pixels Markup tool allowed the recovery of edited images Security Affairs
The Acropalypse flaw in the Markup tool of Google Pixel allowed the partial recovery of edited or redacted screenshots and images.
Security researchers Simon Aarons and David Buchanan have discovered a vulnerability, named Acropalypse, in the Markup tool of Google Pixel. The Markup tool is a built-in Markup utility, released with Android 9 Pie that allows Google Pixel users to edit (crop, add text, draw, and highlight) screenshots.
The vulnerability allowed the partial recovery of the original, unedited image data of a cropped and/or redacted screenshot.
Aarons described how to exploit the vulnerability via Twitter. Lets imagine a user uploading a screenshot from a bank app or website that includes an image of his payment card.
The user uses the Markups Pen tool to remove the payment card data number from the image before sharing it on a service, like Discord.

John Deere, Surrender Your Source Code, Demands SFC SoylentNews
Farmers need a right to repair:
The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has called upon farm equipment maker John Deere to comply with its obligations under the General Public License (GPL), which requires users of such software to share source code.
In a blog post published on Thursday, SFC director of compliance Denver Gingerich argues that farmers' ability to repair their tools is now in jeopardy because the makers of those tools have used GPL-covered software and have failed to live up to licensing commitments.
"Sadly, farm equipment manufacturers, who benefit immensely from the readily-available software that they can provide as part of the farming tools (tractors, combines, etc.) they sell to farmers, are not complying with the right to repair licenses of the software they have chosen to use in these farming tools," said Gingerich.
"As a result, farmers are cut off from their livelihood if the farm equipment manufacturer does not wish to repair their farming tools when they inevitably fail, even when the farmer could easily perform the repairs on their own, or with the help of someone else they know."
Gingerich singled out Moline, Illinois-based John Deere as a particularly egregious offender. He said that for years the SFC has attempted to work with John Deere to resolve the company's non-compliance, but the agricultural equipment maker has failed to cooperate.
"When Deere does reply (we have heard from others that their legitimate requests for source code have been met with silence), they have always failed to include the 'scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable,' per GPLv2," Gingerich told The Register.

Major Labels Want ISP to Pay Additional $12 Million in Piracy Liability Case TorrentFreak
Last fall, several of the worlds largest music companies
including Warner Bros. and Sony Music prevailed in
their lawsuit against Internet provider Grande
Communications.
The record labels accused the Astound-owned ISP of not doing enough to stop pirating subscribers. Specifically, they alleged that the company failed to terminate repeat infringers.
The trial took more than two weeks to complete and ended in a resounding victory for the labels. A Texas federal jury found Grande guilty of willful contributory copyright infringement, and the ISP was ordered to pay $47 million in damages to the record labels.
U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra confirmed the judgment on January 31st, but the legal dispute is not over yet. Grande asked the court to either overrule the verdict or grant a new trial. If those options fail, the Internet provider plans to file an appeal.
Music Labels Want $12 Million Extra
While Grande is playing defense, the major music labels are taking a more offensive approach with demands for more compensation. In addition to the previously awarded $47 million in damages, they recently requested an additional $12.7 million in attorney fees, interest, and other costs.
Courts have the freedom to issue this type of compensation when warranted. The labels say this is a prime example of when such an award is appropriate.
In a detailed motion, the music companies explain that Grande was well aware of its misconduct. The company willingly ignored piracy notifications and stopped terminating subscribers based on these accusations, as was admitted at trial.
[R]ather than acknowledge its wrongdoing and address its role in contributing to the widespread infringement of Plaintiffs copyrights, Grande litigated this case aggressively from start to finish.
At trial, Grande still did not acknowledge any wrongdoing, but instead manufactured arguments about the reliability of the notices of infringement it received that were admittedly never asserted (or even considered) by Grande during the relevant time period.

Grande has repeatedly argued that it didnt act on the notices sent by tracking firm Ri...

Working Artificial Horizon Built Into a Single LEGO Brick Hackaday
Back in the day, LEGO spaceship sets used to come with these little wedge blocks painted with fake gauges on them. [James Ancient Brown] decided that wasnt good enough. Thus, he took everything he needed for a functional artificial horizon, and stuffed it inside a single LEGO brick. Yes, its real, and its spectacular.
We featured [James] electronics-infused bricks some time ago when they first hit the Internet. The basic story is that he managed to cram an OLED screen and an RP2040 into a silicone mold for a LEGO-compatible brick. His first iterations stunned the world, as they ran pretty monochrome animations that brought life to formerly-inanimate chunk of plastic.
Since then, [James] has been busy. Hes managed to squeeze an accelerometer into the brick form factor as well. That allowed him to build a LEGO piece which displays an impressively-smooth artificial horizon display, as you might find in an aircraft. He demonstrates this by put...

How Much Fuel is Left in This 20-year-old Mars Orbiter? SoylentNews
How much fuel is left in this 20-year-old Mars orbiter?:
Designing, building, and launching a spacecraft is hugely expensive. That's why NASA missions to Mars are designed with the hope that they'll last as long as possible like the famous Opportunity rover which was supposed to last for 90 days and managed to keep going for 15 years. The longer a mission can keep running, the more data it can collect, and the more we can learn from it.
That's true for the orbiters which travel around Mars as well as the rovers which explore its surface, like the Mars Odyssey spacecraft which was launched in 2001 and has been in orbit around Mars for more than 20 years. But the orbiter can't keep going forever as it will eventually run out of fuel, so figuring out exactly how much fuel is left is important but it also turned out to be more complicated than the NASA engineers were expecting.
Odyssey started out with nearly 500 pounds of hydrazine fuel, though last year it looked as if the spacecraft was running much lower on fuel than had been predicted.

Summary: As the phonecall above hopefully shows (or further elucidates), Standard Life leaves customers in a Kafkaesque situation, bouncing them from one person to another person without actually progressing on a fraud investigation
THE above recording is of a phonecall received from a Standard Life manager after I had requested a callback. It hopefully makes it clear that Standard Life is not progressing a case of pension fraud perpetrated by my my former employer. As I explain to the manager, this isnt in the interest of Standard Life as it may culminate in a lawsuit soon (colleagues are speaking about it already).
As it turns out, as per Wikipedia at least, Standard Life has its share of controversies (see screenshot below) and even a lot of layoffs. If this is the level of service provided by the company, then why trust this financial institution with ones money?
This case isnt a personal case, as Im informally speaking on behalf of other people as well. Some remaining (existing) and former clients of Sirius have contacted me last week, expressing support for me. Theyre very unhappy about whats going on at Sirius, which dodges accountability. It runs away from the law, not just metaphorically.
What remains unknown, based on the processes and protocols, is whether Standard Life can be held legally accountable for effectively facilitating the companys fraud by issuing official paperwork that serves to legitimate if not validate what was going on for over 5 years. They need to keep checks and balances in case of such embezzlement, which in this case impacted a lot of people for a very long time (in secret). We were meant to assume...

Sign The Petition And Tell EU Legislators: Dont Scan Us Deeplinks
The European Parliament is debating a proposal that, if it passes, could be disastrous for privacy worldwide. Every message, photo, or hosted file could be scanned, with the results sent to government agencies.
We dont need bugs in our pockets. A private and secure internet should be built with privacy and security in mindnot by treating every user like theyre in a criminal lineup.
Tell EU Legislators: Stop Scanning Me!
This proposal is meant to stem the spread of child abuse material online. But abused children need privacy and security as much as anyone. Privacy-protecting technologies, like end-to-end encryption, let both minors and adults reach out for trusted help.
We asked the EU Commission to withdraw this flawed proposal last year. Weve been joined by more than 120 civil society groups from Europe and around the world, who have said the EUs scanning rules will endanger privacy and free expression.
But the Commission has ignored these concerns, and the parliamentary process is moving forward. Now that the future of this proposal is in the hands of Members of European Parliament (MEPs), its time for everyone to speak upespecially constituents in EU member states.
Theres now an online petition where you can join EFF and the dozens of other civil society groups expressing our opposition to this scanning proposal. This petition was created by our partners at European Digital Rights (EDRi), and people who sign the petition may receive other communication from EDRi. You can learn more about the campaign at EDRi's Stop Scanning Me website.

EU Lawmakers Must Reject This Proposal To Scan Private Chats Deeplinks
Having a private conversation is a basic human right. Like the rest of our rights, we shouldnt lose it when we go online. But a new proposal by the European Union could throw our privacy rights out the window.
Tell the European Parliament: Stop Scanning Me
The European Unions executive body is pushing ahead with a proposal that could lead to mandatory scanning of every private message, photo, and video. The EU Commission wants to open the intimate data of our digital lives up to review by government-approved scanning software, and then checked against databases that maintain images of child abuse.
The tech doesnt work right. And launching a system of bugs in our pockets is just wrong, even when its done in the name of protecting children.
We dont need government watchers reviewing our private conversations, whether its AI, bots, or live police. Adults dont need it, and children dont need it either.
If youre in one of the EUs 27 member countries, its a good time to contact your Member of European Parliament and let them know youre opposed to this dangerous proposal. Today, our partners at European Digital Rights (EDRi) launched a website called Stop Scanning Me, with more information about the proposal and its problems. It features a detailed legal analysis of the regulation, and a letter co-signed by 118 NGOs that oppose this proposal, including EFF. German speakers may also want to view and share the Chatkontrolle Stoppen! Website run by German civil liberties groups.
Even if youre not an EU resident, this regulation should still be of concern to you. Large messaging platforms wont withdraw from this massive market, even if that means abandoning privacy and security commitments to their users. That will affect...

Summary: The Open Source company where I worked for nearly 12 years embezzled its staff; despite knowing that employees were subjected to fraud in Standard Lifes name, it doesnt seem like Standard Life has bothered to investigate (it has been a fortnight already; no progress is reported by management at Standard Life)
Tuesday a week ago was when I last spoke to Standard Life after the prior Tuesday I had been given false promises regarding progress in a case of pension fraud perpetrated by my my former employer, a company that has Open Source in its name and was one of the earliest sponsors of the Free Software Foundation, even of KDE.
Its quickly becoming rather frustrating to see that pension providers in the UK (maybe elsewhere too, but I cannot verify this for myself using first-hand experience) prefer to not deal with serious fraud, instead delaying, stonewalling and tiring the complainants. Today I contacted Laura, a Standard Life manager, about 2 weeks after we first spoke. She said she would redirect this to a fraud investigation team, but today she says it has not really started and may take another week with another team a subject that will be covered in the next video.

We've also included roughly 50 locations CBP has proposed for its next round of towers, as well as automated license plate readers (ALPRs) placed at Border Patrol checkpoints.

Surveillance towers along the border have had a troubled history. In the mid-2000s, the Secure Border Initiative aimed to place "SBInet" towers along the border, but only got as far as installing a few dozen in Arizona before bipartisan outcry over technical problems, cost, delays, and ineffectiveness resulted in it being shut down. Throughout the 2010s, CBP took another run at a tower-based system, resulting in disparate tower systemsthe Integrated Fixed Tower (IFT) and Remote Video Surveillance Sy...

American Machine Tools Supporting Russian War Machine SoylentNews
I just bought my second Haas CNC mill. I use them primarily to make parts for implantable medical devices, but they could just as easily make parts for small arms, guided missiles, or aircraft. Most big names in CNC machine tools are Eastern; Japanese, Taiwanese, or Chinese, with a few European. Haas, the biggest and most well known Western manufacturer of CNC machine tools, stands accused of continuing to supply Russian companies involved in military manufacturing, long after the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Documents filed with the U.S. Treasury and Department of Commerce indicate that RATEP is one of many Russian enterprises that Haas Automation has serviced with direct shipments of goods in that period.
Per the aforementioned PBS Newshour report, the American company allegedly approved as many as 18 shipments to Russia between March and October of 2022 to the tune of $2.8 million.

[$] Reducing direct-map fragmentation with __GFP_UNMAPPED LWN.net
The kernel's direct map makes all of a system's physical memory available to the kernel within its address space on 64-bit systems, at least. This seemingly simple feature has proved to be hard to maintain, in the face of the requirements faced by current systems, while keeping good performance. The latest attempt to address this issue is this patch set from Mike Rapoport adding more direct-map awareness to the kernel's page allocator.

How an Electrical Engineer Solved Australias Most Famous Cold Case IEEE Spectrum
Dead, and in a jacket and tie. Thats how he was on 1 December 1948, when two men found him slumped against a retaining wall on the beach at Somerton, a suburb of Adelaide, Australia.
The Somerton
Mans body was found on a beach in 1948. Nobody came forward to
identify him. JAMES DURHAM
Police distributed a photograph, but no one came forward to claim the body. Eyewitnesses reported having seen the man, whom the newspapers dubbed the Somerton Man and who appeared to be in his early 40s, lying on the beach earlier, perhaps at one point moving his arm, and they had concluded that he was drunk. The place of death led the police to treat the case as a suicide, despite the apparent lack of a suicide note. The presence of blood in the stomach, a common consequence of poisoning, was noted at the autopsy. Several chemical assays failed to identify any poison; granted, the methods of the day were not up to the task.

Why You Should Opt Out of Sharing Data With Your Mobile Provider Krebs on Security
A new breach involving data from nine million AT&T customers is a fresh reminder that your mobile provider likely collects and shares a great deal of information about where you go and what you do with your mobile device unless and until you affirmatively opt out of this data collection. Heres a primer on why you might want to do that, and how.
Image: Shutterstock
Telecommunications giant AT&T disclosed this month that a breach at a marketing vendor exposed certain account information for nine million customers. AT&T said the data exposed did not include sensitive information, such as credit card or Social Security numbers, or account passwords, but was limited to Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI), such as the number of lines on an account.
Certain questions may be coming to mind right now, like What the heck is CPNI? And, If its so customer proprietary, why is AT&T sharing it with marketers? Also maybe, What can I do about it? Read on for answers to all three questions.
AT&Ts disclosure said the information exposed included customer first name, wireless account number, wireless phone number and email address. In addition, a small percentage of customer records also exposed the rate plan name, past due amounts, monthly payment amounts and minutes used.
CPNI refers to customer-specific metadata about the account and account usage, and may include:
-Called phone numbers
-Time of calls
-Length of calls
-Cost and billing of calls
-Service features
-Premium services, such as directory call assistance
According to a succinct CPNI explainer at TechTarget, CPNI is private and protected information that cannot be used for advertising or marketing directly.
An individuals CPNI can be shared with other telecommunications providers for network operating reasons, wrote TechTargets Gavin Wright. So, when the individual first signs up for phone service, this information is automatically shared by the phone provider to partner companies.
Is your mobile Internet usage covered by CPNI laws? Thats less clear, as the CPNI rules were established before mobile phones and wireless Internet access were common. TechTargets CPNI primer explains:

The Universal Sound of Swearing Across Languages SoylentNews
Swear words across different languages may tend to lack certain sounds such as l, r, and w:
Swear words across different languages may tend to lack certain sounds such as l, r, and w, suggests research published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. This common pattern in profanity indicates that these sounds, called approximants, may appear less offensive to listeners.
Swear words are thought to have sounds that help facilitate the expression of emotion and attitude, but no study to date has investigated if there is a universal pattern in the sound of swearing across different languages.
[...] The authors asked 215 participants (from across six different languages) to rate pairs of pseudo-words (imaginary words created by the authors), one of which included an approximant. For example, in Albanian, the authors took the word "zog", meaning "bird", and changed this to "yog" to include an approximant and "tsog" without an approximant. The authors found that participants were significantly less likely to judge that words with approximants were swear words and selected words without approximants as swear words 63% of the time.
In a following study, the authors also looked at minced oaths which are variations of swear words deemed less offensive, for example "darn" instead of "damn". The authors found that approximants were significantly more frequent in minced oaths than swear words. The authors propose that this introduction of approximants is part of what makes minced oaths less offensive than swear words.
The authors conclude that their work suggests a potential universal pattern to swear words across different languages, with the lack of approximants a common feature when perceiving swear words.

Agilitys Latest Digit Robot Prepares for Its First Job IEEE Spectrum
This morning at the ProMat conference in Chicago, Agility Robotics is introducing the latest iteration of Digit, its bipedal multipurpose robot designed for near-term commercial success in warehouse and logistics operations. This with manipulators intended for the very first task that Digit will be performing, one that Agility hopes will be its entry point to a sustainable and profitable business bringing bipedal robots into the workplace.
So thats a bit of background, and if you want more, you should absolutely read the article that Agility CTO and cofounder Jonathan Hurst wrote for us in 2019 talking about the origins of this bipedal (not humanoid, mind you) robot. And now that youve finished reading that, heres a better look at the newest, fanciest
The most visually apparent change here is of course Digits head, which either makes the robot look much more normal or a little strange depending on how much success youve had imagining the neck-mounted lidar on the previous doneDigit is (again) a biped rather than a humanoid, in the sense that the head is not really intended to evoke a humanlike head, which is why its decidedly sideways in a way that human heads generally arent. But at the same time, the purpose of the head is to provide a human-robot interaction (HRI) focal point so that humans can naturally understand what Digit is doing. Theres still work to be done here; were told that this isnt the final version, but its at the point where Agility can start working with customers to figure out...
