Round-Up: ChatGPT, Bard, etc - We Did Ask What Could Go Wrong, Didn't We? SoylentNews
OpenAI threatened with landmark defamation lawsuit over ChatGPT false claims
A spokesperson for Gordon Legal provided a statement to Ars confirming that responses to text prompts generated by ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 vary, with defamatory comments still currently being generated in ChatGPT 3.5. Among "several false statements" generated by ChatGPT were falsehoods stating that Brian Hood "was accused of bribing officials in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam between 1999 and 2005, that he was sentenced to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of false accounting under the Corporations Act in 2012, and that he authorised payments to a Malaysian arms dealer acting as a middleman to secure a contract with the Malaysian Government." Because "all of these statements are false," Gordon Legal "filed a Concerns Notice to OpenAI" that detailed the inaccuracy and demanded a rectification. "As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our society, the accuracy of the information provided by these services will come under close legal scrutiny," James Naughton, Hood's lawyer, said, noting that if a defamation claim is raised, it "will aim to remedy the harm caused" to Hood and "ensure the accuracy of this software in his case.")
It was only a matter of time before ChatGPTan artificial intelligence tool that generates responses based on user text promptswas threatened with its first defamation lawsuit. That happened last month, Reuters reported today, when an Australian regional mayor, Brian Hood, sent a letter on March 21 to the tool's developer, OpenAI, announcing his plan to sue the company for ChatGPT's alleged role in spreading false claims that he had gone to prison for bribery.
To avoid the landmark lawsuit, Hood gave OpenAI 28 days to modify ChatGPT's responses and stop the tool from spouting disinformation.

What Flight 50 Means for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter IEEE Spectrum
JPLs Ingenuity helicopter is preparing for the 50th flight of its 5-flight mission to Mars. Flight 49, which took place last weekend, was its fastest and highest yetthe little helicopter flew 282 meters at an altitude of 16 meters, reaching a top speed of 6.50 meters per second. Not a bad performance for a tech demo that was supposed to be terminated two years ago.
From here, things are only going to get more difficult for Ingenuity. As the Perseverance rover continues its climb up Jezero craters ancient river delta, Ingenuity is trying its best to scout ahead. But, the winding hills and valleys make it difficult for the helicopter to communicate with the rover, and through the rover, to its team back on Earth. And there isnt a lot of time or room to spare, because Ingenuity isnt allowed to fly too close to Perseverance, meaning that if the rover ever catches up to the helicopter, the helicopter may have to be left behind for the rovers own safety. This high-stakes race between the helicopter scout and the science rover will continue for kilometers.
Two years in, 10 kilometers flown, and were
well over an hour now in the skies of Mars.
Teddy Tzanetos, NASA
For the Ingenuity team, this new mode of operation was both a challenge and an opportunity. This was nothing new for folks who have managed to keep this 30-day technology demo alive and healthy and productive for years, all from a couple hundred million kilometers away. IEEE Spectrum spoke with Ingenuity Team Lead Teddy Tzanetos at JPL last week about whether flying on Mars is ever routine, how they upgraded Ingenuity for its extended mission, and what the helicopters success means for the future of airborne exploration and science on Mars.
IEEE Spectrum: Is 50 flights on Mars a milestone for you folks, or are things routine enough now that youre looking at it as just another flight?
Teddy Tzanetos: Its hugely meaningful. Well come back to the routine question in a second, but its very meaningful for all of us. When we hit 10 and then 25 it was big, but 50 is a pretty serious number now that were 10X our initial flight count. Two years in, 10 kilometers flown, and were well over an hour now in the skies of Mars. So hitting flight 50, its a big thingwere probably going to set...

Physicists Simulated a Black Hole in The Lab, And Then It Started to Glow Lifeboat News: The Blog
A synthetic analog of a black hole could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing.
Using a chain of atoms in single-file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole, a team of physicists observed the equivalent of what we call Hawking radiation particles born from disturbances in the quantum fluctuations caused by the black holes break in spacetime.
This, they say, could help resolve the tension between two currently irreconcilable frameworks for describing the Universe: the general theory of relativity, which describes the behavior of gravity as a continuous field known as spacetime; and quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of discrete particles using the mathematics of probability.

4 Ways to Put Lasers on Silicon IEEE Spectrum
Photonic integrated circuits, which combine a collection of optoelectronic functions on a single chip, are an increasingly common part of everyday life. They are used in high-speed optical transceivers that link server racks in data centers, including the one used to deliver the IEEE Spectrum website, in lidars to keep self-driving cars on track, and in spectrometers to spot chemicals in the atmosphere, among many other applications. All these systems have grown less expensive and, in some cases have become economically feasible, by making most of the IC with silicon fabrication technologies.
Engineers have been able to integrate nearly every important optical function, including the essentials of modulation and detection, on silicon photonic chips, except for one: light emission. Silicon itself doesnt do that efficiently, so semiconductors made of so-called III-V materials, named for the place of their constituents on the periodic table, are typically used to make separately packaged components to produce light.
If you can live with an external laser diode in your design, theres no issue. But several factors have recently been pushing engineers to integrate lasers with silicon photonics. There may be, for example, no space for a separate light source. Tiny devices meant to be implanted in the body to monitor, for example, blood-sugar levels, might face this problem. Or an applications cost might call for closer integration: When you can fit hundreds or thousands of lasers on a single silicon wafer, you will end up with a lower cost and often higher reliability than when you need to connect separate chips.
There are many ways to achieve this tighter integration of lasers and silicon. Working at Imec, a Belgium-based nanoelectronics R&D center, we are currently pursuing four basic strategies: flip-chip processing, microtransfer printing, wafer bonding, and monolithic integration. What follows is a guide to how these approaches work, their level of scalability and maturity, and their pros and cons.

SpellBinding in Gemini
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: A puzzle/game called SpellBinding has been going on for years at Geminispace and today we take a closer (but quick) look at it
Games aren't a new thing in Geminispace and we already covered some examples in the past, except we probably neglected to mention SpellBinding, which has daily riddles (this is todays).
Its how the Web used to be. Back when it was safe (secure) to useIn spite of its growth, many still bash Gemini because it does not do JavaScript and cannot impose layouts (styles) on visitors, instead allowing them to choose their own. In Gemini it is possible to implement and run programs, games etc. A lot of the heavy lifting is done at the server side, not the client side. This is a good thing. Its how the Web used to be. Back when it was safe (secure) to use
The above video shows a number of other Gemini pages from today, aside from our own. There may be millions of Gemini pages out there already. Its difficult to keep count. The developer of the client used above is back to working on it. Gemini has maintained growth momentum so far this year.

We all make things. Sometimes we make things for ourselves, sometimes for the broader hacker community, and sometimes we make things for normal folks. Its this last category where it gets tricky, and critical. I was reminded of all of this watching Chris Combs excellent Supercon 2022 talk on how to make it as an artist.
But Im not making art! I hear you say? About half of Chris talk is about how he makes his tech art worry-free for galleries to install, and that essentially means making it normie-proof making sure it runs as soon as the power is turned on, day in, day out, without hacker intervention, because venues hate having you on site to debug. As Tom joked in the podcast, its a little bit like designing for space: its a strange environment, you cant send out repair teams, and it has to have failsafes that make sure it works.
What is striking about the talk is that there is a common core of practices that make our hardware projects more reliable, whatever their destination. Things like having a watchdog thatll reboot if it goes wrong, designing for modularity whenever possible, building in hanging or mounting options if thats relevant, and writing up at least a simple, si...

What is the Marburg virus? WHO confirms outbreak of the deadly viral disease in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania Lifeboat News: The Blog
The World Health Organization confirmed an outbreak of the virus in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania earlier this year. Authorities first issued a warning for Equatorial Guinea in February following a series of deaths in early January. The Ministry of Health of Tanzania then announced its own outbreak in late March.
There have been 14 confirmed cases in Equatorial Guinea since the epidemic began, with 10 of those patients dying, according to the CDC An outbreak among a group of fisherman in Tanzania produced eight confirmed cases of the viral fever, five of which were fatal, the CDC said.
The CDC on Thursday warned doctors to watch for possible imported cases and patients exhibiting symptoms that include fever, fatigue, and blood-strained vomit and diarrhea. There have not been any reported cases of Marburg virus thus far in the US and the CDC said the risk of imported cases is relatively low.

How a worms embryonic cells change its development potential Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers have spotted how specific proteins within the chromosomes of roundworms enable their offspring to produce specialized cells generations later, a startling finding that upends classical thinking that hereditary information for cell differentiation is mostly ingrained within DNA and other genetic factors.
The Johns Hopkins University team reports for the first time the mechanisms by which a protein known as histone H3 controls when and how worm embryos produce both highly specific cells and pluripotent cells, cells that can turn certain genes on and off to produce varying kinds of body tissue. The details are published today in Science Advances.
The new research could shed light on how mutations associated with these proteins influence various diseases. In children and young adults, for example, histone H3 is closely associated with various cancers.

10 Graphs That Sum Up the State of AI in 2023 IEEE Spectrum
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) has assembled a years worth of AI data providing a comprehensive picture of todays AI world, as they have done annually for six years. And I do mean comprehensivethis years report came in at 302 pages. Thats a nearly 60 percent jump from the 2022 report, thanks in large part to the 2022 boom in generative AI demanding attention and an increasing effort to gather data on AI and ethics.
For those of you as eager to pour through the entire 2023 Artificial Intelligence Index Report as I was, you can dive in here. But for a snapshot of the entire set of findings, below are 10 charts capturing essential trends in AI today.
Large language models dont come cheap
While the power of large language models, like ChatGPT, has increased dramatically, the price of training such models has increased dramatically as well. And of all machine learning systems, language models are sucking up the most computing resources.
Carbon costs are also high
While its not easy to estimate carbon emissions of an AI system, the AI Index team gave it their best shot, considering the number of parameters in a model, the energy efficiency of data centers, and the type of power generation used to deliver electricity. It concluded that a training run for even the most efficient of the four models considered, BLOOM, emitted more carbon than the average U.S. resident uses in a year.
Its the governments turn to step up
For the first time in a decade, private AI investment decreased, falling about a third from 2021 to $189.6 billion. The reason isnt clear. Says Ray Perrault, co-director of the...

How to Update Copyright: Nigeria Shows the Way for Africa and the World SoylentNews
How to update copyright: Nigeria shows the way for Africa and the world:
This battle over [copyright] moves to adopt an open-ended fair dealing based on the US approach, rather than one with a limited list of permitted exceptions and limitations, is an important one that is happening all around the world. Open-ended fair use is clearly more helpful for dealing with developments in technology that were never envisaged when old copyright laws were drawn up. They allow at least a basic flexibility in the way that copyright is applied, for example online.
Once again, the current resistance to countries adopting fair use or open norms is the result of the copyright industry refusing to allow any legal developments that favour the public or indeed anyone except themselves. A good example of the fierce battles being fought is South Africa, where President Ramaphosa sent the Copyright Amendment Bill back to Parliament after it was passed, largely because of lobbying by copyright supporters against its fair use provisions.
Nigeria's new law is important because the country is already a leader in Africa, and is predicted to become one of the world's top economies. What happens in Nigeria matters, because it sets an important precedent for other rising nations looking to update their outdated copyright laws to maximise the benefits of the digital world by adopting open norms.

Your Fuji Digital Camera Is Hackable Hackaday
There was a time when a digital camera was a surprisingly simple affair whose on-board processor didnt have much in the way of smarts beyond what was needed to grab an image from the sensor and compress it onto some storage. But as they gained more features, over time cameras acquired all the trappings of a fully-fledged computer in their own right, including full-fat operating systems and the accompanying hackability opportunities.
Prominent among camera manufacturers are Fuji, whose cameras it turns out have plenty of hacking possibilities. Theres something of a community about them, with all their work appearing in a GitHub repository, and a cracking April Fool in which a Fuji camera appears able to be coaxed into running DOOM.
The Fuji cameras run the ThreadX real-time operating system on a variety of ARM SoCs, with an SQLite data store for camera settings and Fujis own software controlling the camera hardware. The hackability comes through patching firmware updates, and aside from manipulating the built-in scripting language and accessing the SQLite database can include code execution. We really wish the DOOM was real! So far theres no acc...

Reactivating a Harris RF-130 URT-23 Transmitter Hackaday
If you enjoy old military hardware, you probably know that Harris made quite a few heavy-duty pieces of radio gear. [K6YIC] picked up a nice example: the Harris RF-130 URT-23. These were frequently used in the Navy and some other service branches to communicate in a variety of modes on HF. The entire set included an exciter, an amplifier, an antenna tuner, and a power supply and, in its usual configuration, can output up to a kilowatt. The transmitter needs some work, and hes done three videos on the transmitter already. Hes planning on several more, but theres already a lot to see if you enjoy this older gear.

Plasma and scale and Ball lightening
This really gets to the heart of the matter. We have now projected three types of matter all of which follow naturally from the creation and continuing creation of the SPACE TIME pendulum.
The first is the neutral neutrino pair which forms a tetyrahedra and acts upon it edges as it literally produces TIME by switching back and forth. We can never detect that.
Then we have the neutral electron pair or maybe the electron positron pair with 2400 axis to react along
These can still form clouds which can align and with no charge to detect either.
Either is a frame work for a logic machine and can also plausibly decay into a particle we can identify.
The third is our universe. we reside in an ocean of neutral neutron pairs that literally fill our galaxies and also often beyond. Understand that such a pair has a mass equivalent to a hydrogen atom but also slightly smaller because the electron has not freed up. again we have no means of actually detecting any of this except perhaps with ball lightening.
It appears that ball lightening is a contained ball of this stuff surfaced with hot electrons held neutral on the surface. They are not flying apart at all. And like hydrogen, it can pass through solid walls. We do not store hydrogen very well.
Obviously a whole bunch of problems in physics change when we start working with this model. Yet so far it all conforms to observation.
Understand that in vsuch an universe, opening a void actually does two things. Space is created allowing new matter to be created in order to fill that void. This is posited to look like an inner sun. There is also a boundary event happening as well, both inside and outside the boundary and both involve gravity compression of the neutral neutron pairs. We no not know what actually occurs, but spontaneous matter creation appears plausible
The sun could be producing hydrogen as we look at it.
the mere existence of this neutral neutron pair as a primary constituant of our galaxy makes th...

The Promisesand Perilsof Ocean Desalination SoylentNews
As the world gets drier, do we need to turn to the ocean?
Sean Bothwell can understand why people think desalination is a silver bullet. When he was a kid living in California's Orange County, the ocean was always close by. It didn't make sense to him that all the water near him wasn't usable.
"I grew up thinking, like, why the heck aren't we desalinating?" said Bothwell, who is now executive director of the California Coastkeeper Alliance. "Why are people always saying that we need to save water and conserve?"
[...] For his part, after doing his graduate school thesis on desalination as an adaptation mechanism for climate change, Bothwell's mind began to change on the process of ocean desalination, and he finally understood its problems and limitations.
"I realized all the things that people don't understand about desalof all the issues we work on, [the efficacy] is the toughest thing to communicate to people," he said. "Everyone thinks it's a good idea."
[...] It's not just what gets sucked into plants that poses a problem for the ocean. The potable water produced by desal plants has an evil cousin: the super-salty discharge that remains, a substance known as brine, which is roughly twice as salty as the original seawater. Brine is heavier than seawater and can sink to the bottom of the ocean, where it creates a deoxygenated dead zone. [...]
"Our ocean is already under a ton of different pressures: nutrient runoff, ocean acidification, climate change," said Bothwell. "You add desal on top of it, and it creates a dead zone."

Pi Microcontroller Still Runs a Webserver Hackaday
At first glance, the Raspberry Pi Pico might seem like a bit of a black sheep when compared to the other offerings from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. While most of the rest of their lineup can run Linux environments with full desktops, the Pico is largely limited to microcontroller duties in exchange for much smaller price tags and footprints. But that doesnt mean it cant be coerced into doing some of the things we might want a mainline Pi to do, like run a web server.
The project can run a static web page simply by providing the Pico with the project code available on the GitHub page and the HTML that youd like the Pico to serve. It can be more than a static web page though, as it is also capable of running Python commands through the web interface as well. The server can pass commands from the web server and back as well, allowing for control of various projects though a browser interface. In theory this could be much simpler than building a physical user interface for a project instead by offloading all of this control onto the web server instead.
The project not only supports the RP2040-based Raspberry Pi Pico but can also be...

Hair Analysis Reveals Europes Oldest Physical Evidence of Drug Use SoylentNews
Mediterranean cave clues show that islanders ingested mind-bending plants around 3,000 years ago:
Human hair recovered in a Mediterranean island cave has yielded Europe's oldest direct evidence of people taking hallucinogenic drugs, researchers say.
By around 3,000 years ago, visitors at Es Crritx cave on Menorca perhaps shamans who performed spiritual and healing rituals consumed plants containing mind-altering and vision-inducing substances, say archaeologist Elisa Guerra-Doce of the University of Valladolid in Spain and colleagues.
Signs of human activity at the cave, including more than 200 human graves arrayed in a chamber at the entrance, were previously dated to between around 3,600 and 2,800 years ago. Researchers had also found a hoard of objects in a small pit within an inner cave chamber, including six wooden containers, each containing locks of human hair.
Chemical analyses of one container's locks, possibly from more than one person, detected three psychoactive plant substances that had been ingested and absorbed into the hair over nearly a year, the scientists report April 6 in Scientific Reports.
Two substances, atropine and scopolamine from nightshade plants, induce disorientation, hallucinations and altered physical sensations. Another, ephedrine, boosts energy and alertness. Shamans would have known how to handle and consume these potentially toxic plants safely, the investigators say.
[...] Other hair analyses have found that Inca kids slated for sacrifice more than 500 years ago ingested hallucinogenic drinks and coca leaves and alcohol (SN: 5/13/22; SN: 7/29/13). And a 2005 study found chemical signs of coca-leaf chewing in the hair of two human mummies from Chile dating to around 3,000 years ago. Indirect evidence of drug use in various parts of the world, such as artistic depictions, go back further.

A recent paper published by researchers at the university of Tel Aviv in Cell on the sounds they captured from stressed plants had parts of the internet abuzz with what this meant, with some suggesting that this was an early April Fools prank. The fun part here is the news item is not that plants make noise, but rather that this was the first time (apparently) that the noise made by plants was captured by microphones placed at some distance from a variety of plants.
This research is based on previous studies dating back decades, such as Tyree and Sperry who reported (PDF) in 1989 on the vulnerability of the plant xylem (water transporting tissue) to cavitation and embolism. Since the xylems function is to carry water and...

LWN User-space shadow stacks (maybe) for 6.4
Support for shadow stacks on the x86 architecture has been long in coming; LWN first covered this work in 2018. After five years and numerous versions, though, it would appear that user-space shadow stacks on x86 might just be supported in the 6.4 kernel release. Getting there has required a few changes since we last caught up with this work in early 2022.
Shadow stacks are a defense against return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks, as well as others that target a processs call stack. The shadow stack itself is a hardware-maintained copy of the return addresses pushed onto the call stack with each function call. Any attack that corrupts the call stack will be unable to change the shadow stack to match; as a result, the corruption will be detected at function-return time and the process terminated before the attacker can take control. The above-linked 2022 article has more details on how x86 shadow stacks, in particular, work.

Venus Has Almost 50 Times as Many Volcanoes as Previously Thought SoylentNews
A new map boosts the count of fiery formations to about 85,000:
The hellscape of Venus is riddled with even more volcanoes than scientists thought.
Using radar images taken by NASA's Magellan spacecraft in the 1990s, researchers cataloged about 85,000 volcanoes strewn across the Venusian surface. That's nearly 50 times as many volcanoes as past surveys counted. Planetary scientists Rebecca Hahn and Paul Byrne of Washington University in St. Louis debuted the map in the April JGR Planets.
Such a thorough inventory of volcanism on Venus could offer clues about the planet's interior, such as hot spots of magma production, Byrne says. And with the recent discovery that Venus is volcanically active, the map could also help pinpoint places to look for new eruptions.
Almost all the volcanoes that Hahn and Byrne found are less than 5 kilometers wide. About 700 are 5 to 100 kilometers across, and about 100 are wider than 100 kilometers. The team also found many tight clusters of small volcanoes called volcanic fields.
[This map of Venus] shows the locations and sizes of all volcanoes visible in radar data from the Magellan spacecraft. The newfound volcanoes range in size from less than 5 kilometers wide to more than 100 kilometers across, though most are on the small side.

Riding the Rails by Ebike Hackaday
As most developed countries around the world continue to modernize their transportation infrastructure with passenger rail, countries in North America have been abandoning railroads for over a century now, assuming that just one more lane will finally solve their traffic problems. Essentially the only upside to the abandonment of railroads has been that its possible to build some unique vehicles to explore these tracks and the beautiful yet desolate areas they reach, and [Cam Engineering] is using an ebike to do that along the coast of central California.
Since his vehicle only has two wheels, he has designed a custom outrigger system consisting of a front guide that leads the front wheel and keeps the bike on the tracks, and a rear support arm which allows the bike to lean slightly against the outside rail. Both outriggers retract to convenient positions when using the vehicle as a bike instead of a rail cart, and its quite the impressive bike at that. Details are sparse on the bicycle itself but it seems to be a custom frame built around fairly large battery and possibly 2000W or more of power in a rear hub motor. Without the pedals and bicycle drivetrain it would almost certainly make a capable electric motorcycle from the way it performs in the video below....

UN Cybercrime Draft Treaty Timeline Deeplinks
October 2017
The Russian Federation
presents
a letter to the UN General Assembly containing a draft of the
United Nations Convention on Cooperation in Combating Cybercrime,
intended for circulation to Member States.
November 2019
A resolution, sponsored by
Russiaalong with Belarus, Cambodia, China, Iran, Myanmar,
Nicaragua, Syria, and Venezuelato set up an international
convention to combat cybercrime passes in the UN General Assembly.
The resolution
was opposed by the US, the EU, and other nations.
Human rights organizations, including the Association for
Progressive Communications and EFF,
urged the General Assembly to vote against
the resolution, citing concerns that it could undermine the use of
the internet to exercise human rights and facilitate social and
economic development.
December 2019
The UN General Assembly adopts a
resolution to create an
Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) to draft a UN Convention on
countering the use of information and communications technologies
for criminal purposes. Participation in the AHC is open to all
Member States of the world, as well as non-member state observers
(like the EU and the Council of Europe), civil society, and
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to varying degrees. The United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), through the
Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch,
Division for Treaty Affairs, serves as Secretariat for the Ad Hoc
Committee. However, the timing of this effort was controversial, as
another UN General
Assembly Resolution had raised concerns that
cybercrime laws are in some instances misused to target human
rights defenders or have hindered their work and endangered their
safety in a manner contrary to international law.

How Pink Floyd Inspired Research Into Medieval Monks and Volcanology SoylentNews
Ars Technica is reporting on a new (published 5 April 2023) paper combining ice core, tree ring and textual analysis to "more accurately date medieval volcanic eruptions."
The primary author's inspiration to pursue this line of research included:
Sbastien Guillet, an environmental scientist at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, was rocking out to Pink Floyd's classic Dark Side of the Moon album one day when he made a prescient connection. The darkest lunar eclipses all occurred within a year or so of major volcanic eruptions. And astronomers know the exact days of those eclipses. So medieval historical accounts of lunar eclipse sightings should be able to help scientists narrow down the time frame in which major eruptions occurred during the High Medieval period spanning 1100 to 1300 CE. Guillet collaborated with several other scientists to conduct such a study, combining textual analysis with tree ring and ice core data. They described their findings in a new paper published in the journal Nature.
"Climate scientists usually identify past volcanic eruptions by measuring the acidity and amount of volcanic ash in cores drilled from polar ice, or by inferring abrupt temperature changes in tree ring records," Andrea Seim (University of Freiburg) and Eduardo Zorita (Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon) wrote in an accompanying commentary. "However, these sources sometimes disagree, because the location, intensity, and timing of eruptions can produce varying results, as can circulation of the atmosphere. Guillet and colleagues' approach offers an independentand perhaps even more directsource of information about the timing of volcanic eruptions, which could resolve some of these disagreements."
[...]
Guillet's critical insight stems from the impact volcanic eruptions can have on the appearance of a lunar eclipse. If there are a lot of aerosols, the moon will appear dark during the eclipse; if aerosols are scarce, the moon will have a bright reddish appearance. So one should be able to estimate how much volcanic aerosols were in the atmosphere from medieval descriptions of the color and luminosity of the moon during lunar eclipses, and use that information to more accurately date medieval volcanic eruptions.
It's an interesting combination of science and analysis of historical writings to arrive at a better understanding of some of the forces acting on the climate in Medieval Europe.
N.B.: The Nature journal reference appears to be the full paper, not just an abstrac...

Photoplotting PCBs with a 3D Printer Hackaday
Do you ever wonder why your PCB maker uses Gerber files? It doesnt have to do with baby food. Gerber was the company that introduced photoplotting. Early machines used a xenon bulb to project shapes from an aperture to plot on a piece of film. You can then use that film for photolithography which has a lot of uses, including making printed circuit boards. [Wil Straver] decided to make his own photoplotter using a 3D printer in two dimensions and a UV LED. You can see the results in the video below.
A small 3D printed assembly holds a circuit board, the LED, and a magnet to hold it all to the 3D printer. Of course, an LED is a big large for a PCB trace, so he creates a 0.3 mm aperture by printing a mold and using it to cast epoxy to make the part that contacts the PCB film.
The fan control turns the LED on and off, much as laser cutter mods for 3D printers often do. We noticed he uses standard nuts as heat set inserts, and that seems to work well enough, especially since there isnt much load on them in this application. There were a few iterations of pinholes and mounts, but the final iteration seems to work well. There is even a method to do double-sided boards.
Of course, with a laser cutter and good focusing, you could pull the same trick. Just be aware that some of the high power laser modules dont focus to...

TPB Founders Are Not Involved in the The Pirate Bay TV Series TorrentFreak
Two
years ago, reports began to surface about a new
six-part TV-series on The Pirate Bays turbulent history.
The project was initially scheduled to start last year but after an apparent delay, filming is now expected to begin this fall.
Pirate Bay TV Series
The inception and early years of The Pirate Bay are definitely a worthy subject for a series. While most pirate sites hid in the shadows, Pirate Bays founders were public figures, who openly taunted the entertainment industries.
Speaking with Variety, head-writer Piotr Marciniak explains that his screenplay is based on a wealth of archive material as well as interviews with the sites founders.
Its a classic rise and fall story, a tragedy about flying too close to the sun, but also a timeless story of a generational conflict, Marcimiak said.
The people involved in the The Pirate Bay series are clearly looking forward to getting the project running. The production is in the hands of B-Reel Films, working for the Swedish broadcaster SVT, while the American distribution company Dynamic Television scooped up worldwide rights.
Selling The Pirate Bay Rights
Indeed, the rights to The Pirate Bay series are actively traded. The same will likely happen to pirated copies of the episodes when theyre illicitly posted to The Pirate Bay, but its unclear whether the rightsholders have plans to crack down on unauthorized sharing.
Its nonetheless interesting to read that the story about a site that rebelled against the exploitation of copyrights, is being copyrighted and sold off. Would The Pirate Bay founders approve of that? Are they even involved?
The Pirate Bay series aims to tell the history of the notorious pirate site and co-founders Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde, and Gottfrid Svartholm, but none appear to be actively involved.
Founders Deny Involvement
TorrentFreak spoke with both Sunde and Neij, who both confirm they were not interviewed for the upcoming series, even though it aims to document an important and hectic part of their lives.
Nope, they didnt interview me for the TV series, Fredrik says. Also. Im not sure who they bought the rights from They didnt pay me at least.
And I know Anakata would have had nothing to do with it, Fredrik adds, referring to co-founder Gottfrid, who prefers to live his life a...

Decoding the U.N. Cybercrime Treaty Deeplinks
Negotiations for a proposed U.N.Cybercrime Treaty commenced in 2017 but began to take shape in 2022and theres a lot at stake. The draft treaty has the potential to rewrite criminal laws around the world, possibly adding over 30 criminal offenses and new expansive police powers for both domestic and international criminal investigations.
Given that existing cybercrime laws are, as stated by the U.N.General Assembly, in some instances misused to target human rights defenders and endanger their safety in a manner contrary to international law, these widened parameters amplify the potential implications for billions of peopleparticularly stifling free speech, increasing government surveillance, and expanding state investigative techniques.

AI Pause Open Letter Stokes Fear and Controversy IEEE Spectrum
The recent call for a six-month AI pausein the form of an online letter demanding a temporary artificial intelligence moratoriumhas elicited concern among IEEE members and the larger technology world. The Institute contacted some of the members who signed the open letter, which was published online on 29 March. The signatories expressed a range of fears and apprehensions including about rampant growth of AI large-language models (LLMs) as well as of unchecked AI media hype.
The open letter, titled Pause Giant AI Experiments, was organized by the nonprofit Future of Life Institute and signed by more than 10,000 people (as of 5 April). It calls for cessation of research on all AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.

The Dangerous Weak Link in the US Food Chain SoylentNews
If hackers wanted to debilitate American society, they would have trouble taking down the entire power grid or financial system, but they could do serious damage to the companies that make and deliver Americans' food.
The US food and agriculture sector lacks the resources, expertise, and government support to protect itself and its products from a rapidly expanding range of cybersecurity threats, according to lawmakers, policy experts, and former government officials. These shortfalls leave gaps that foreign government operatives or cybercriminals could exploit to remotely disable farming equipment, contaminate fertilizer, cripple milk supplies, and kill chickens.
In the past few years, cyberattacks on the meat processing giant JBS Foods and the Iowa farm services firm NEW Cooperative have laid bare the industry's widespread vulnerabilities. And new technologies, including advances in artificial intelligence, are creating previously unimaginable risks, overwhelming a workforce not accustomed to dealing with digital security. Making matters worse, food and agriculture is one of only a few critical infrastructure sectors that doesn't have an information sharing and analysis center, or ISAC, helping companies fight back.
All of these shortcomings make food and agriculture companies a prime target for Russian operatives bent on vengeance for Western sanctions, Chinese spies seeking a competitive advantage for their domestic firms, and ransomware gangs looking for victims that can't afford downtime.

EFF to Ninth Circuit: Twitter Has First Amendment Right to Ban Users, Including Presidents Deeplinks
Time and time again,
we have saidand courts have ruledthat social
media platforms have the First Amendment right to ban users. We
have argued that banned users cannot successfully sue platforms for
acting as government censors without showing that the platforms
willfully and fully
ceded their editorial discretion to the
government. But nevertheless, the lawsuits keep getting filed.
This time, former President Trump is the lead plaintiff in yet
another must carry lawsuit, this one against Twitter. And we have
again filed an
amicus brief that explains how editorial
freedom online benefits users by encouraging diverse forums for
speech. (Twitter
has also argued that the case is moot since it restored
Trumps account.)
Trump and the other plaintiffs claimed that Biden administration
officials threats to amend Section 230
unless Twitter deplatformed Trump (not coincidentally,
Section 230 provides immunity to platforms from these very
lawsuits) transformed Twitter into a state actor.
Government coercion and involvement in
private companies content moderation practices raise serious
concerns. But in most situations, those concerns are best directed
at the government itself.
Even if officials urged Twitter to act against certain users,
Twitter cannot be liable unless it abandoned its editorial
principles and adopted the governments decisions in their place.
Only under these well-defined and limited circumstances should a
court find that Twitter is a state actor, we told the court. The
facts alleged in this case do not support that finding.
In many cases, the government is free to talk to Twitter, and
Twitter is free to listen or not listen. As our brief argues,
treating Twitter as a state actor and subjecting it to lawsuits
would actually violate Twitters own First Amendment right to be
free from governmental, including judicial,
interference.

[$] The shrinking role of semaphores LWN.net
The kernel's handling of concurrency has changed a lot over the years. In 2023, a kernel developer's toolkit includes tools like completions, highly optimized mutexes, and a variety of lockless algorithms. But, once upon a time, concurrency control came down to the use of simple semaphores; a discussion on a small change to the semaphore API shows just how much the role of semaphores has changed over the course of the kernel's history.

String Operations the Hard(ware) Way Hackaday
One of the interesting features of the 8086 back in 1978 was the provision for string instructions. These took the form of prefixes that would repeat the next instruction a certain number of times. The next instruction was meant to be one of a few string instructions that operated on memory regions and updated pointers to the memory region with each repeated operation. [Ken Shirriff] examines the 8086 die up close and personal to explain how the 8086 microcode pulled this off and it is a great read, as usual.
In general, the string instructions wanted memory pointers in the SI and DI registers and a count in CX. The flags also have a direction bit that determines if the SI and DI registers will increase or decrease on each execution. The repeat prefix could also have conditions on it. In other words, a REP prefix will execute the following string instruction until CX is zero. The REPZ and REPNZ prefixes would do the same but also stop early if the zero flag was set (REPZ) or not set (REPNZ) after each operation. The instructions can work on 8-bit data or 16-bit data and oddly, as [Ken] points out the microcode is the same either way.
[Ken] does a great job of explaining it all, so we wont try to repeat it here. But it is more complicated than youd initially expect. Partially this is because the instruction can be interrupted after any operation. Also, changing the SI and DI registers not only have to account for increment or decreme...

The counterintuitive notion that its harder to build artificial bodies than artificial minds is not a new one. In 1988, the computer scientist Hans Moravec observed that computers already excelled at tasks that humans tended to think of as complicated or difficult (math, chess, IQ tests) but were unable to match the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility. Six years later, the cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker offered a pithier formulation: The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research, he wrote, is that the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard. This lesson is now known as Moravecs paradox.

This Week in Security: Cookie Monster, CyberGhost, NEXX, and Dead Angles Hackaday
Operation Cookie Monster ranks as one of the best code names in recent memory. And its apropo, given what exactly went down. Genesis Market was one of those marketplaces where criminals could buy and sell stolen credentials. This one was a bit extra special.
Websites and services are getting better about detecting logins from unexpected computers. Your Google account suddenly logs in from a new computer, and a two-factor authentication challenge launches. Why? Your browser is missing a cookie indicating youve logged in before. But theres more. Providers have started rolling out smart analytics that check for IP address changes and browser fingerprints. Your mix of time zone, user string, installed fonts, and selected language make a pretty unique identifier. So sites like Genesis offer Impersonation-as-a-Service (IMPaaS), which is session hijacking for the modern age.
A victim computer gets owned, and credentials are collected. But so are cookies and a browser fingerprint. Then a criminal buyer logs in, and runs a virtual browser with all that collected data. Run through a proxy to get a IP that is geolocated close enough to the victim, and Mr. Bad Guy has a cloned machine with all accounts intact.
And now back to Operation Cookie Monster, a multi-organization takedown of Genesis. It...

Living electrodes with bacteria and organic electronics Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linkping University, have together with colleagues at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, developed a method that increases the signal strength from microbial electrochemical cells by up to twenty times. The secret is a film with an embedded bacterium: Shewanella oneidensis.
Adding bacteria to electrochemical systems is often an environmentally sensitive means to convert chemical energy to electricity. Applications include water purification, bioelectronics, biosensors, and for the harvesting and storage of energy in fuel cells. One problem that miniaturisation of the processes has encountered is that a high signal strength requires large electrodes and a large volume of liquid.
Researchers at Linkping University, together with colleagues at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, USA, have now developed a method in which they embed the electroactive bacterium Shewanella oneidensis into PEDOT: PSS, an electrically conducting polymer, on a substrate of carbon felt.

These Deep-Sea Potatoes Could be the Future of Mining for Renewable Energy SoylentNews
Battery materials dot the ocean floor. Should we go get them?
To transform our world to address climate change, we need a lot of stuff: lithium for batteries, rare-earth elements like neodymium and dysprosium for wind turbines, copper for, well, basically everything.
We're not exactly going to run out of any of these key materials: the planet has plenty of the resources we need to build clean energy infrastructure. But mining is a huge and complicated undertaking, so the question is whether we can access what we need quickly and cheaply enough. We won't run out of key ingredients for climate action, but mining comes with social and environmental ramifications.
Take copper, for example. Demand for the metal in energy technologies alone will add up to over a million tons every year by around 2050, and it's getting harder to find good spots to dig up more. Companies are resorting to mining sites with lower concentrations of copper because we've exhausted the accessible higher-concentration spots we know about.
Because of the impressive array of metals they contain, at least one company has likened each nodule to a battery in a rock. That's why over the past decade, companies have begun to explore the possibility of commercial mining operations in the deep sea, mostly in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.
The ocean could be a new source for copper and other crucial materials. Seabed mining could happen in a few different ways, but the stars of the show are potato-sized lumps called polymetallic nodules. These nodules dot the ocean floor in some places, especially in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, which lies between Hawaii and Mexico in the Pacific Ocean.

60-Year-Old Music Pirate Faces Prison in a Country Part-Run By Pirates TorrentFreak
Rick Falkvinge founded the first Pirate Party on January
1, 2006, and then rallied the masses in Sweden six months later in
the wake of the
first police raid against The Pirate Bay.
At the European Elections of 2009, Swedish Pirates won over 7% of the vote. Christian Engstrm went on to become the first Pirate Member of the European Parliament, with Amelia Andersdotter taking the second seat in 2011.
When Felix Reda of the German Pirate Party was elected vice-president of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament in 2014, and was given the job of copyright reform rapporteur, that was a moment for the archives. It wouldnt be the last.
Czech Pirates and Czech Piracy
A string of notable events in the Czech Republic, including three Pirate Party politicians taking seats in the European Parliament, culminated in 2021 when Pirates won three ministerial positions in the countrys coalition government.
Set to a background of intense Pirate politics and the movements roots in file-sharing communities, news that a 60-year-old Czech Republic man is facing up to two years in prison for file-sharing feels a little out of place. Of all things that were never supposed to happen when Pirates got into power, this was one of them.
Czech police say the man had a collection of almost 1,000 commercial music albums stored on a server, which is quite a lot. The server wasnt protected in any way, so passing internet users could download whatever they liked. Unfortunately, those passing by included unnamed rightsholders who filed a criminal copyright complaint with the police.
Authorities Take Matter Seriously
According to a statement released by police in the Moravian-Silesian region, criminal investigators in the city of Karvina responded to the complaint by launching an extensive multi-month investigation. After establishing that the albums had been available for download from October 2013 until November 2022, police charged the man with criminal copyright infringement offenses.
The accused stated that he downloaded the music mai...

Arbitrary Code Execution Over Radio Hackaday
Computers connected to networks are constantly threatened by attackers who seek to exploit vulnerabilities wherever they can find them. This risk is particularly high for machines connected to the Internet, but any network connection can be susceptible to attacks. As highlighted by security researcher and consultant [Rick Osgood], even computers connected to nothing more than a radio can be vulnerable to attacks if theyre using certain digital modes of communication.
The vulnerability that [Rick] found involves exploiting a flaw in a piece of software called WinAPRS. APRS is a method commonly used in the amateur radio community for sending data over radio, and WinAPRS allows for this functionality on a PC. He specifically sought out this program for vulnerabilities since it is closed-source and hasnt been updated since 2013. After some analysis, he found a memory bug which was used to manipulate the Extended Instruction Pointer (EIP) register which stores the memory address of the next instruction to be executed by the CPU. This essentially allows for arbitrary code execution on a remote machine via radio.
The exploit was found while using Windows XP because it lacks some of the more modern memory protection features of modern operating systems, but the exploit does still work with Windows 10, just not as reliabl...

Microsoft aims at stopping cybercriminals from using cracked copies of Cobalt Strike Security Affairs
Microsoft announced it has taken legal action to disrupt the illegal use of copies of the post-exploitation tool Cobalt Strike by cybercriminals.
Cobalt Strike is a paid penetration testing product that allows an attacker to deploy an agent named Beacon on the victim machine. The Beacon includes a wealth of functionality for the attacker, including, but not limited to command execution, key logging, file transfer, SOCKS proxying, privilege escalation, mimikatz, port scanning and lateral movement.
Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) announced that has collaborated with Fortra, the company that develops and maintains the tool, and Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC) to curb the abuse of Cobalt Strike by cybercriminals.
The Microsoft DCU secured a court order in the U.S. to remove cracked versions of Cobalt Strike (refer to stolen, unlicensed, or otherwise unauthorized versions or copies of the tool) so they can no longer be used by cybercriminals.
Threat actors, including ransomware groups and nation-state actors, use Cobalt Strike after obtaining initial access to a target network. The tool is used to conduct multiple malicious activities, including escalating privileges, lateral movements, and deploying additional malicious payloads.
More specifically, cracked versions of Cobalt Strike allow Defendants to gain control of their victims machine and move laterally through the connected network to find other victims and install malware. This includes installing ransomware like Conti, LockBit, Quantum Locker, Royal, Cuba, BlackBasta, BlackCat and PlayCrypt, to arrest access to the systems. In essence, Defendants are able to leverage cracked versions of Cobalt Strike to brutally force their way into victim machines and deploy malware. reads the court order. Additionally, once the Defendants deploy the malware or ransomware onto computers running Microsofts Window operating system, Defendants are able to execute a series of actions involving abuse of Microsofts copyrighted declaring code.

China's Space Pioneer Becomes First Private Chinese Company to Reach Orbit SoylentNews
The company is now the first in China to send a liquid fueled rocket to space:
Chinese company Space Pioneer established a pair of milestones this past Sunday, becoming the first startup to successfully reach orbit on its first attempt, and the first Chinese company to reach orbit with liquid rocket propulsion.
Space Pioneer launched its Tianlong-2 from the Jiuquan launch centre in northwest China at 4:48 a.m. ET on April 2, according to SpaceNews. The rocket carried a small satellite to a Sun-synchronous orbit, where it will test its remote sensing capabilities.
The company, officially known as Beijing Tianbing Technology Co., is the first in China to fly a rocket using liquid propellant. Tianlong-2 uses liquid oxygen kerosene rather than solid propellant made from fuel and oxidizer, which allows for more control of the thrust magnitude and is better suited for reusability.
[...] The private space venture is getting ready for the launch of Tianlong-3, a larger liquid propellant rocket that's designed with a reusable first stage similar to SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The upcoming rocket will be capable of carrying 15 tons of payload to low Earth orbit, and it's hoping to launch up to 60 satellites for China's Guowang LEO communications megaconstellation, according to Space Pioneer. The company is targeting early 2024 for the first launch of Tianlong-3, while targeting around 12 launches per year starting 2025.

Building the OhSillyScope Hackaday
If you have a Raspberry Pi connected to an LED matrix, you might think about creating a simple oscilloscope. Of course, the Pi isnt really well-suited for that and neither is an LED matrix, so [Thomas McDonald] decided to create the OhSillyScope, instead.
The device isnt very practical, but it does add some flash to live music performances or it makes a cool music visualizer. The matrix is only 6464 so you cant really expect it to match a proper scope. Besides that, it pulls its data from the Pis ALSA sound system.
You can find a video of the device on [Thomas] Reddit post and a few additional videos on his Instagram account. Looks like a fun project and it also serves as a nice example if you need to read data from the sound card or drive that particular LED matrix.
We might have opted for PortAudio if we had written the same code, but only because it is more portable, which probably doesnt matter here. Of course, you could also use GNURadio and some Python to drive the display. As usual, plenty of ways to solve any given problem.

Open garage doors anywhere in the world by exploiting this "smart" device
A market-leading garage door controller is so riddled with severe security and privacy vulnerabilities that the researcher who discovered them is advising anyone using one to immediately disconnect it until they are fixed.
Each $80 device used to open and close garage doors and control home security alarms and smart power plugs employs the same easy-to-find universal password to communicate with Nexx servers. The controllers also broadcast the unencrypted email address, device ID, first name, and last initial corresponding to each one, along with the message required to open or shut a door or turn on or off a smart plug or schedule such a command for a later time.
The result: Anyone with a moderate technical background can search Nexx servers for a given email address, device ID, or name and then issue commands to the associated controller. (Nexx controllers for home security alarms are susceptible to a similar class of vulnerabilities.) Commands allow the opening of a door, turning off a device connected to a smart plug, or disarming an alarm. Worse still, over the past three months, personnel for Texas-based Nexx haven't responded to multiple private messages warning of the vulnerabilities.
"Nexx has consistently ignored communication attempts from myself, the Department of Homeland Security, and the media," the researcher who discovered the vulnerabilities wrote in a post published on Tuesday. "Device owners should immediately unplug all Nexx devices and create support tickets with the company requesting them to remediate the issue."

Tube Amplifier Uses Low Voltage, Sips Battery Hackaday
Much like vinyl records, tube amplifiers are still prized for their perceived sound qualities, even though both technologies have been largely replaced otherwise. The major drawback to designing around vacuum tubes, if you can find them at all, is often driving them with the large voltages they often require to heat them to the proper temperatures. There are a small handful of old tubes that need an impressively low voltage to work, though, and [J.G.] has put a few of them to work in this battery-powered audio tube amplifier.
The key to the build is the Russian-made 2SH27L battery tubes which are originally designed in Germany for high-frequency applications but can be made to work for audio amplification in a pinch. The power amplifier section also makes use of 2P29L tubes, which have similar characteristics as far as power draw is concerned. Normally, vacuum tubes rely on a resistive heater to eject electrons from a conductive surface, which can involve large amounts of power, but both of these types of tubes are designed to achieve this effect with only 2.2 volts provided to the heaters.
[J.G.] is powering this amplifier with a battery outputting 5V via a USB connection, and driving a fairly standard set of speakers borrowed from a computer. While there arent any aud...

Virgin Orbit Files for Bankruptcy SoylentNews
Virgin Orbit files for bankruptcy:
Virgin Orbit, the low-Earth orbit small payload launch company that was spun out of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, has filed for bankruptcy protection with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The bankruptcy filing follows weeks of bad news for the company, including a pause on all operations, a brief hunt for more money to continue as a going concern, and massive layoffs to try to right-size to the company's actual available budget, which today's news essentially confirms was non-existent.
Prior to this fast and furious couple week meltdown, Virgin Orbit had already shown signs that it was essentially on life support: the company's marquee first flight from a brand new British spaceport in January ended in failure due to an anomaly, and there was very little indication on when another attempt might arrive.
Virgin Orbit spun out of Virgin Galactic way back in 2017, as the Branson-backed space company divided its efforts into two separate avenues of focus: Galactic would pursue human spaceflight, targeting suborbital trips for scientists and wealth thrill-seekers. That has borne some fruit, but also hasn't yet achieved the scale and cadence of operation that it aspired to have accomplished at this stage. Orbit, meanwhile, aimed at delivering small payloads to low-Earth orbit, using small rockets that launched from the wings of a large carrier ship, a modified 747-400 commercial passenger aircraft.
[...] Virgin Orbit will seek a sale of the entire company or its assets as possible recourses to resolve its bankruptcy status, the company said in the filing.

Accessing Computers With ChatGPT for Fun and Profit SoylentNews
A researcher used ChatGPT to create dangerous data-stealing malware
The malware even escaped detection on VirusTotal:
A cybersecurity researcher claims to have used ChatGPT to develop a zero-day exploit that can steal data from a compromised device. Alarmingly, the malware even evaded detection from all vendors on VirusTotal.
Forcepoint's Aaron Mulgrew said he decided early on in the malware creation process not to write any code himself and use only advanced techniques that are typically employed by sophisticated threat actors like rogue nation states.
Describing himself as a "novice" in malware development, Mulgrew said he used Go implementation language not only for its ease of development, but also because he could manually debug the code if needed. He also used steganography, which hides secret data within an regular file or message in order to avoid detection.
[...] Mulgrew said the entire process took "only a few hours." Without the chatbot, he believes it would have taken a team of 5-10 developers weeks to craft the malicious software and ensure it could evade detection by security apps.
While Mulgrew created the malware for research purposes, he said a theoretical zero-day attack using such a tool could target high-value individuals to exfiltrate critical documents on the C drive.

The Microcode and Hardware in the 8086 Processor That Perform String Operations SoylentNews
https://www.righto.com/2023/04/8086-microcode-string-operations.html
Intel introduced the 8086 microprocessor in 1978. This processor ended up being hugely influential, setting the path for the x86 architecture that is extensively used today. One interesting feature of the 8086 was instructions that can efficiently operate on blocks of memory up to 64K bytes long. These instructions rapidly copy, compare, or scan data and are known as "string" instructions.
In this blog post, I explain string operations in the 8086, analyze the microcode that it used, and discuss the hardware circuitry that helped it out.
[...] I'll explain the behavior of an ALU micro-operation since it is important for string operations. The Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU) is the heart of the processor, performing addition, subtraction, and logical operations. The ALU has three temporary input registers that are invisible to the programmer: tmpA, tmpB, and tmpC. An ALU operation takes its first argument from any temporary register, while the second argument always comes from tmpB. Performing an ALU operation requires two micro-instructions. The first micro-instruction specifies the ALU operation and source register, configuring the ALU. For instance, ADD tmpA configures the ALU to add the tmpA register to the default tmpB register. In the next micro-instruction (or a later one), the ALU result can be accessed through a special register called (SIGMA) and moved to another register.

Fast Scanning Bed Leveling Hackaday
The bane of 3D printing is what people commonly call bed leveling. The name is a bit of a misnomer since you arent actually getting the bed level but making the bed and the print head parallel. Many modern printers probe the bed at different points using their own nozzle, a contact probe, or a non-contact probe and develop a model of where the bed is at various points. It then moves the head up and down to maintain a constant distance between the head and the bed, so you dont have to fix any irregularities. [YGK3D] shows off the Beacon surface scanner, which is technically a non-contact probe, to do this, but it is very different from the normal inductive or capacitive probes, as you can see in the video below. Unfortunately, we didnt get to see it print because [YGK3D] mounted it too low to get the nozzle down on the bed. However, it did scan the bed, and you can learn a lot about how the device works in the video. If you want to see one actually printing, watch the second, very purple video from [Dre Duvenage].
Generally, the issues with probes are making them repeatable, able to sense the bed, and the speed of probing all the points on the bed. If your bed is relatively flat, you might get away with probing only 3 points so you can understand how the bed is tilted. That wont help you if your bed has bumps and valleys or even just twists in it. So most people will probe a grid of points.

Fast Food, Fast Charge IEEE Spectrum
It sounds so obvious: Public EV chargers should be located in public, where people tend to gather. The reality has often been otherwise, with too many chargers tucked into desolate parking lots or seemingly random locations. And since even the speediest DC chargers take roughly 30 minutes to juice up an EV, drivers and passengers have time to kill, including enough time for a bite.
To keep cars and passengers full, 7-Eleven and Subway are among the companies planning to serve up EV charging along with their Big Gulps and sandwiches.
7-Eleven envisions its 7Charge network as one of the biggest fast-charging networks among convenience stores in the United States. The company hasnt cited exact numbers of how many DC chargers it hopes to open, but 7-Eleven operates about 9,400 stores in the United States, and nearly 600 more in Canada. The company currently has more than 30 fast chargers in California, Colorado, Texas, and Florida.
The new chargers aim to welcome owners of any EV, by offering both the CCS (Combined Charging System) connector and the CHAdeMO plug. Tesla owners can already hook into CCS stations by means of an adapter. A 7Charge app will offer a station locator and an easy-payment method through a linked account.
7-Eleven isnt alone. Subway will partner with Miami-based GenZ EV Solutions to create Subway EV Charging Oasis parks with fast-charging stalls, picnic tables, Wi-Fi, playgrounds, and restrooms. California is determined to require all new vehicles sold to be either EVs or plug-in hybrids by 2035. And a Taco Bell franchisee with more than 300 locations has launched the first of 100 planned California charging stations in San Francisco.
Restaurant and convenience-store operators cite ongoing gaps in public charging, including in rural, urban, and other underserved areas.
Equitable access to charging is essential to the adoption of EVs, and Subways scale will play an important role in democratizing charging infrastructure for millions of Americans, said Jose Valls, CEO of GenZ EV Solutions.

Repeating Radio Signal Leads Astronomers to an Earth-size Exoplanet SoylentNews
Astronomers have detected a repeating radio signal from an exoplanet and the star that it orbits, both located 12 light-years away from Earth. The signal suggests that the Earth-size planet may have a magnetic field and perhaps even an atmosphere.
Scientists noticed strong radio waves coming from the star YZ Ceti and the rocky exoplanet that orbits it, called YZ Ceti b, during observations using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array of telescopes in New Mexico. The researchers believe the radio signal was created by interactions between the planet's magnetic field and the star.
[...] "We saw the initial burst and it looked beautiful," said lead study author Sebastian Pineda, a research astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder, in a statement. "When we saw it again, it was very indicative that, OK, maybe we really have something here."
[...] YZ Ceti b only takes two Earth days to complete a single orbit around its star. Meanwhile, the shortest orbit in our solar system is the planet Mercury, which takes 88 Earth days to complete a lap around the sun.
While YZ Ceti b whips around its star, plasma from the star collides with the planet's magnetic field, bounces off and interacts with the star's magnetic field. All of these energetic reactions create and release strong radio waves that can be detected on Earth.

ISPs Fail to Dismiss Filmmakers Piracy Liability Lawsuits TorrentFreak
Over the past two decades, online piracy has proven a massive
challenge for the entertainment industries.
Copyright holders have tried to go after individual pirates and pirate sites in court, but third-party intermediaries are now increasingly seen as targets as well.
Several active lawsuits in the United States feature rightsholders accusing Internet providers of not doing enough to stop piracy. One of the main allegations is that ISPs fail to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances as the DMCA requires.
These lawsuits have resulted in multi-million dollar judgments against Cox and Grande. Meanwhile, more companies at risk too, such as WideOpenWest (WOW!), which was sued by a group of smaller movie companies, including Millennium Media and Voltage Pictures.
The filmmakers accused the Colorado-based ISP of failing to terminate the accounts of subscribers who were repeatedly flagged for sharing copyrighted material. They argue that WOW! is liable for these piracy activities and are demanding millions of dollars in damages.
WOW! Wants Troll Case Dismissed
The ISP challenged the claims and filed a motion to dismiss the case. WOW! addressed the substance of the allegations and described the film companies and their anti-piracy partner Maverickeye as copyright trolls.
Plaintiffs and Maverickeye are part of a well-known web of copyright trolls. Until now, Plaintiffs modus operandi has been to file John Doe lawsuits in the hope of securing quick settlements and to dismiss them at the slightest resistance, they wrote.
Indeed, several of the plaintiff film companies have filed cases against individual file-sharers, but they have also sued hosting providers, site operators, and app developers.
Responding to the substance of the allegations, WOW! argued that an IP address is not sufficient to prove that subscribers downloaded or shared any infringing material. And if thats not clear, the ISP cant be held liable either.

To back this up, WOW! cites the Cobbler Nevada v. Gonzales case, where the court held that an...

Once More, With Feeling: Exploring Relatable Robotics at Disney IEEE Spectrum
This is a guest post. The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not represent positions of IEEE Spectrum or the IEEE.
Most robotics projects focus on the output: What does this robot do? Is it reliable, is it precise, and can it achieve its goals? But at Disney, our focus is on the story: How does this robot make you feel? Is it emotive, is it relatable, and does it authentically reflect a character people know in its mannerisms, gait, or expressions?
This context changes everything. Take walking, for examplein robotics, its generally a priority to maximize the stability of a walking gait, since falling down doesnt help you move crates or explore terrain. At Disney, however, a stable walking gait is less important than a gait that brings a character to life. Falling down can be wildly entertaining, as long as the falling happens in character!
About a year ago, our team came to a realization: We needed robots that didnt mind taking the occasional tumble. If were going to be free to explore fun and evocative performances with our robots, failure had to be an option. And not only thatfailure had to be expected, and built into the design. We called our new project Indestructibles and set out toward the goal implied by that name.

On 10 March 2023, we were able to show off our latest Indestructibles prototype at SXSW in Austin, Texas. We were nervous. We knew this little character had charmed us, but we couldnt be sure her personality would come through on such a big stage with a brand-new audience. But from the moment she peeked her head out of her crate, the energy in the crowd let us know they were not only seeing her but cheering for her. We were thrilled!

Phishers migrate to Telegram Security Affairs
Experts warn that Telegram is becoming a privileged platform for phishers that use it to automate their activities and for providing various services.
Kaspersky researchers have published an analysis of phishers Telegram channels used to promote their services and products.
The experts pointed out that crooks engaged in phishing activities have started to rely on the popular instant messaging platform more in recent months.
On Telegram is possible to find channels that offer:
Free phishing kits that can be used to target users of a large number of global and local brands. Phishers also use to share stolen personal data with their subscribers. The free phishing material is offered as bait of sorts for less experienced phishers to bite and to recruiting an unpaid workforce.
- One reason is that any free content or manuals so willingly distributed by scammers to their Telegram audience serve as bait of sorts for less experienced phishers to bite. Newbies get a taste of what phishing tools can do, pull off their first scam and wish for more, which is when they will be offered paid content. The creators of phishing bots and kits can get access to data that is gathered with their tools.
To attract larger audiences, scam operators advertise their services, promising to teach others how to phish for serious cash. reads the post published by Kaspersky.

The maker of eye drops linked to a deadly outbreak of extensively drug-resistant infections in the US had a slew of manufacturing violationsfrom brown slime on filling equipment to a lack of basic measures and systems to ensure sterilityaccording to an inspection report released by the Food and Drug Administration (PDF).
In February, the regulator warned consumers to immediately stop using eye drops and eye ointment made by Global Pharma, whose products were sold in the US under brand names EzriCare and Delsam Pharma and were available through Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and other retailers. Global Pharma later issued voluntary recalls of the products.
Health investigators had linked the drops to cases of an extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain that had never been seen before in the US. The strain is identified as VIM-GES-CRPA, which stands for a carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) with Verona integron-mediated metallo--lactamase (VIM) and Guiana extended-spectrum--lactamase (GES). Although affected people reported using multiple brands of eye drops, EzriCare was the most common. Additionally, testing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and independent researchers have identified the outbreak strain in opened bottles of EzriCare artificial tears.
As of March 14, 68 people in 16 states have been infected with the strain, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Three people have died from the infection, eight have lost vision, and four have had their eyeballs surgically removed.

Summary: Twitter addiction (or FOMO, or sometimes peoples wrong belief/intuition that their social life/popularity is the sum total of their Twitter followers) has thus far prevented more people from leaving; what else do they need to see before realising that its time to leave?
MAKE no mistake about it. The shitshow or the dumpster fire that Twitter has become since the takeover is miles worse than the Twitter I left completely over a year ago (I had left years earlier to a lesser degree). I didnt envision it would (just months later) be taken over by a pot-smoking fraud who replaces the logo with a meme, manipulates the algorithms to boost the ego of people who pay him, and so on and so on
Social control media is worse than a waste of time.The number of scandalous moves is too great to recall or itemise offhand. Weve added links to document most of these (Daily Links) and if anyone still believes things will improve in that platform, then one must be smoking the same stuff this guy does.
Leave Twitter. The sooner, the better. Social control media is worse than a waste of time.

Media Briefing: Proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty Negotiations Headed in Troubling Direction, Sidestepping Human Rights Protections and Threatening Free Expression, EFF and Allies Warn Deeplinks
San FranciscoOn Thursday, April 13, at 10:00 am Pacific
Time (1:00 pm Eastern Time, 7 pm CEST), experts with Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) and four international allies will brief
reporters on the grave threat to human rights posed by ongoing UN
Cybercrime Treaty negotiations that could lead to broad
surveillance powers, criminalizing online speech, and enabling
hacking by police agencies.
The one-hour briefing will be livestreamed from the
fifth session of treaty negotiations in Vienna,
where representatives from over 100 Member States will meet
to discuss a
negotiating document reflecting their
suggestions for the treaty. The document lacks strong commitments
to human rights and detailed conditions and safeguards that are
needed to protect the rights of Individuals and organizations
around the world.
Without that, theres ample wiggle room for prosecutors to, for
example, access personal data with no independent or judicial
oversight, and use electronic surveillance to interfere with the
rights to privacy and freedom of expression in ways that violate
international human rights law.
The drafts scope needs to be narrowed and
include specific human rights protections.
As it stands, it
creates over thirty new cybercrime offenses,
including half a dozen that would make it a crime to send or post
legitimate content protected by international law. This goes far
beyond what States are allowed to restrict under international
human rights standards. Most concerning are overly broad provisions
seeking to
criminalize speech on the basis of fake
news, extremism, incitement and terrorism. International human
rights law already provides clear guidance on how to address many
of these issues.

The advent of virtualization and confidential computing is changing this picture somewhat, though; the system can now be more picky about which memory it will use. Patches to add support for explicit memory acceptance when running under AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization and Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP), though, have run into some turbulence over how to handle a backward-compatibility issue.

Kioxia Demos 7-Bits-Per-Cell Flash Memory SoylentNews
Kioxia, formerly Toshiba Memory Holdings, has demonstrated "hepta-level-cell" NAND memory:
Kioxia Researchers Demo Hepta-Level Cell NAND Flash, Nearly Doubling the Capacity of QLC
NAND researchers at Kioxia have successfully demonstrated a working concept of a new storage architecture called Hepta-level cell NAND flash. This new type of NAND can house up to 7 bits per cell, giving it nearly twice the storage capacity of QLC NAND flash. If Kioxia can stabilize this storage architecture at room temperature, it might become the ultimate successor to spinning hard drives in consumer and enterprise applications.
To create hepta-level NAND flash, Kioxia is using a new design called new silicon process technology to increase cell density, in conjunction with cryogenic cooling. New silicon process technology replaces current poly-silicon materials with a single-crystal silicon that is used in a channel inside a memory cell transistor. This apparently reduces the amount of read noise coming from the NAND flash by up to two-thirds. In other words, new silicon process technology produces clearer read signals for reading data off of the NAND flash, enough so to increase the bits cell capacity to 7.
7 / 4 = 1.75. Nearly double!
Kioxia has already demonstrated 6-bits-per-cell NAND. Multiple companies are mulling a transition to 5-bits-per-cell (PLC) NAND. Western Digital's technology and strategy chief Siva Sivaram doesn't expect PLC NAND to take off until 2025 or later.
