Playing 78 RPM Shellac Records: Its Not Just About Speed Hackaday
What is the difference between 78, 45, and 33 RPM records? Obviously most people would say the speed, which of course is true to a degree. But as [Techmoan] covers in a recent video, theres a whole lot more to the playback of 78 RPM records. Especially the older type without so-called microgrooves. Even if you have a record player that can do 78 RPM speeds, you may have noticed that the sound is poor, with a lot of clicking and popping.
The primary reason for this is that on an average 78 RPM record, the groove containing the sound pattern is 3 mil (thousandth of an inch) wide, whereas the grooves on microgroove and 33/45 RPM records is a mere 1 mil wide. This difference translates into the stylus tip, which is comically undersized for the 3 mil grooves and ends up dragging somewhere in the very bottom of the groove, missing entirely out on the patterns etched higher up on the sides. This is why in the past styluses would often come in the flip-style version, as pictured above.
Its also possible to purchase the mono, 3 mil styluses today from Audio-Technica and...

Palantir's Plan to Decipher the Mysteries of Long Covid SoylentNews
Palantir's Plan to Decipher the Mysteries of Long Covid:
65 million people are still suffering from long Covid, the mysterious cocktail of symptoms that persist in some patients more than 12 weeks after an initial infection. Researchers are still working to understand this illness, but it's been slow progress so far.
This is because long Covid is not just a medical problemit's also a data problem, says Indra Joshi, director of health, research, and artificial intelligence at Palantir, which specializes in analyzing big data.
Before the pandemic, US hospitals kept their data to themselves, Joshi told WIRED Health this March, making it difficult for policymakers and researchers to identify patterns of disease occurring across the country. That's why Palantir worked with the US medical research agency, the National Institutes of Health, to create what Joshi describes as one of the largest collections of Covid-19 health records in the world.
The National COVID Cohort Collaborative, aka N3C, is essentially a giant, collaborative database, enabling clinicians and researchers to study the deidentified data of people suffering from Covid-19 or related conditions. "If you're diagnosed with Covid now, your data goes into this enclave," says Joshi, explaining that N3C now includes 2.1 billion clinical observations. The data enclave also encourages clinicians to enter data in a standardized format, making it easy for their insights to be compared with data collected from other US hospitals.
By harmonizing all this data, the N3C acts as a collective pool of information that researchers can dip into to try to find consensus on the ongoing mysteries of long Covid: What exactly are the symptoms? What treatments are people receiving? And how are they responding to those treatments? Already the N3C data has helped better define the symptoms that make up long Covid. It has also revealed that Black and Hispanic Americans, in comparison to white patients, appear to experience more symptoms and health problems related to long Covid, but are less likely to be diagnosed.

Iran-linked MERCURY APT behind destructive attacks on hybrid environments Security Affairs
Iran-linked APT group MERCURY is behind destructive attacks on hybrid environments masquerading as a ransomware operation.
The Microsoft Threat Intelligence team observed a series of destructive attacks on hybrid environments that were carried out by MuddyWater APT group (aka MERCURY). Threat actors masqueraded the attacks as a standard ransomware operation.
MERCURY (aka MuddyWater, SeedWorm and TEMP.Zagros) has been active since at least 2017, in January 2022 the USCYBERCOM has officially linked the Iran-linked APT group to Irans Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
The group was observed targeting both on-premises and cloud environments. According to Microsoft, MERCURY likely conducted the attacks in partnership with another actor tracked as DEV-1084, who carried out the destructive actions after MERCURY gained access to the target environment.
MERCURY likely exploited known vulnerabilities in unpatched applications for initial access before handing off access to DEV-1084 to perform extensive reconnaissance and discovery, establish persistence, and move laterally throughout the network, oftentimes waiting weeks and sometimes months before progressing to the next stage. reads the report published by Microsoft. DEV-1084 was then later observed leveraging highly privileged compromised credentials to perform en masse destruction of resources, including server farms, virtual machines, storage accounts, and virtual networks, and send emails to internal and external recipients.
DEV-1084 presented itself as cybercrime group likely as an attempt to hide its real motivation of a nation-state actor.
The link between the DEV-1084 cluster and MERCURY was established based on the following evidence:
- Both DEV-1084 and MERCURY were observed sending emails from the IP address 146.70.106[.]89.
- Both groups used MULLVAD VPN.

The Real John Wick-Style Bullet Proof Suit Hackaday
If youve seen the John Wick movies, youve probably had to suspend your disbelief about many things, but the bulletproof suits are perhaps the hardest thing to swallow. They look like stylish suits but are impervious to just about anything at any range. Whats more is when you are hit, they seem to absorb all impact with no effect on the wearer at all.
You can keep running, firing, or karate kicking while the suit takes all of the bullets. You can even pull your jacket up over your face if you want to protect that million-dollar smile. Physics, of course, tells us that a suit like this is pretty much impossible. Except that they actually exist. Granted, the real-life suits dont have the magic physics-defying powers of Mr. Wick̵...

Italy became the first Western country to ban ChatGPT. Heres what other countries are doing Lifeboat News: The Blog
It seems some countries in Europe might ban ChatGPT due to privacy reasons.
Italy isnt the only country reckoning with the rapid pace of AI progression and its implications for society. Other governments are coming up with their own rules for AI, which, whether or not they mention generative AI, will undoubtedly touch on it. Generative AI refers to a set of AI technologies that generate new content based on prompts from users. It is more advanced than previous iterations of AI, thanks in no small part to new large language models, which are trained on vast quantities of data.
There have long been calls for AI to face regulation. But the pace at which the technology has progressed is such that it is proving difficult for governments to keep up. Computers can now create realistic art, write entire essays, or even generate lines of code, in a matter of seconds.
We have got to be very careful that we dont create a world where humans are somehow subservient to a greater machine future, Sophie Hackford, a futurist and global technology innovation advisor for American farming equipment maker John Deere, told CNBCs Squawk Box Europe Monday.

Physicists Extend Qubit Lifespan in Pivotal Validation of Quantum Computing Lifeboat News: The Blog
Quantum computing promises to be a revolutionary tool, making short work of equations that classical computers would struggle to ever complete. Yet the workhorse of the quantum device, known as a qubit, is a delicate object prone to collapsing.
Keeping enough qubits in their ideal state long enough for computations has so far proved a challenge.
In a new experiment, scientists were able to keep a qubit in that state for twice as long as normal. Along the way, they demonstrated the practicality of quantum error correction (QEC), a process that keeps quantum information intact for longer by introducing room for redundancy and error removal.

How Intel Scaled Down the 8086 Processor and Reverse-Engineering the Division Microcode SoylentNews
https://www.righto.com/2020/06/die-shrink-how-intel-scaled-down-8086.html
The revolutionary Intel 8086 microprocessor was introduced 42 years ago this month so I've been studying its die.1 I came across two 8086 dies with different sizes, which reveal details of how a die shrink works. The concept of a die shrink is that as technology improved, a manufacturer could shrink the silicon die, reducing costs and improving performance. But there's more to it than simply scaling down the whole die. Although the internal circuitry can be directly scaled down,2 external-facing features can't shrink as easily. For instance, the bonding pads need a minimum size so wires can be attached, and the power-distribution traces must be large enough for the current. The result is that Intel scaled the interior of the 8086 without change, but the circuitry and pads around the edge of the chip were redesigned.
[...] The photo above shows the two 8086 dies at the same scale. The two chips have identical layout in the interior,7 although they may look different at first. The chip on the right has many dark lines in the middle that don't appear on the left, but this is an artifact. These lines are the polysilicon layer, underneath the metal; the die on the left has the same wiring, but it is very faint. I think the newer chip has a thinner metal layer, making the polysilicon more visible.
The magnified photo below shows the same circuitry on the two dies. There is an exact correspondence between components in the two images, showing the circuitry was reduced in size, not redesigned. (These photos show the metal layer on top of the chip; some polysilicon is visible in the right photo.)

Tree Supports Are Pretty, So Why Not Make Them Part of the Print? Hackaday
Heres an idea that [Nephlonor] shared a couple years ago, but is worth keeping in mind because one never knows when it might come in handy.

As you can see in the image above, the track resembles a roller-coaster and the tree supports function as an automatically-generated scaffolding for the whole thing. Clever!

NASA's TEMPO Mission Could Bring You Hyper-Local Pollution Alerts:
An advanced tool for monitoring air pollution from space is set to launch on Friday morning, and it'll be hosted on a commercial satellite.
A soon-to-launch NASA mission is set to offer more data on North America's air quality than researchers and public health programs have ever had available before. A new monitoring instrument hosted on a commercial satellite will offer continent-wide, hourly updates on air pollution, at about a four square mile resolution, according to the space agency and partner groups behind the project.
The Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument will keep tabs on the air quality in a region stretching from the oil sands in Canada to south of Mexico City, and from the Atlantic to Pacific coasts, according to a NASA news statement.
The device will use advanced imaging to collect detailed light scattering data (i.e. hyperspectral data) on sunlight reflected off of Earth's atmosphere at varying levels. Using this information, scientists back on the ground will be able to translate those wavelengths of light into local concentrations of different pollutants in the air, explained Dennis Nicks, director of payload engineering at Ball Aerospacethe company that NASA contracted to design and build the TEMPO instrument, during a Wednesday press briefing.

Samsung employees unwittingly leaked company secret data by using ChatGPT Security Affairs
Samsung employees have unwittingly leaked top secret data by providing them to the popular chatbot service ChatGPT.
Samsung employees have shared internal documents, including meeting notes and source code, with the popular chatbot service ChatGPT. ChatGPT uses data provided by the users to train itself and build its experience, with the risk that this data can be available to other users that will query the popular chatbot.
Samsung engineers used ChatGPT to assess the company source code, they asked the chatbot to optimize test sequences for identifying faults in the chips they were designing. According to the website Techradar, in just under a month, the company suffered three data leaks caused by its employees leaking sensitive information via ChatGPT.
In another case, an employee used ChatGPT to convert meeting notes into a presentation, the contents of which were obviously not something Samsung would have liked external third parties to have known. reported TechRadar.
The multinational IT firm has decided to start developing its own AI for internal use.
Samsung Electronics is warning its employees of the potential risks associated with the use of ChatGPT, explaining that there is no way to prevent the leak of the data provided to OpenAIs chatbot service.
It is not clear if Samsung has requested the deletion of the data provided by its workers to OpenAI.
Early this month, the Italian Data Protection Authority, Garante Privacy, temporarily banned ChatGPT due to the illegal collection of personal data and the absence of systems for verifying the age of minors.
The Authority pointed out that OpenAI does not alert users that it is collecting their data.
According to the announcement, there is no legal basis underpinning the massive collection and processing of personal data to train the algorithms on which the platform relies.

High-Power, Room-Temperature, Coherent Microwave Source Lifeboat News: The Blog
Magnetic spin excitations can combine with photons to produce exotic particles that emit laser-like microwaves.
One of the challenges for building systems for quantum computing and communications has been the lack of laser-like microwave sources that produce sufficient power but dont require extreme cooling. Now a research team has demonstrated a new room-temperature technique for making coherent microwave radiationthe kind that comes from a laser [1]. The device exploits the interaction of a magnetic material with electromagnetic fields. The researchers expect that the work will lead to microwave sources that can be built into chips employed in future quantum devices.
The devices that store quantum bits for quantum computers often require microwave signals to input and retrieve data, so lasers operating at microwave frequencies (masers)and other sources of coherent microwavescould be very useful. But even though masers were invented before lasers, most maser technologies work only at ultracold temperatures. A 2018 design works at room temperature but doesnt produce very much power [2].

Nintendo Hunts Down Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Leaker on Discord TorrentFreak
As Nintendos official website for Switch game
The
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom states, The
adventure begins on May 12. Officially, at least.
The hotly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will go on sale next month in digital and physical formats, with the latter also available as a special Collectors Edition.
Targeted at Zelda connoisseurs, the special edition includes The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (physical version), Artbook, SteelBook case, Steel Poster, and a set of four pin badges.
Pre-Release Leak: February 2023
On February 20, 2023, Eurogamer reported that a 200-page Artbook had been leaked online, containing details of new characters, enemies, enemy types, and new locations.
Its currently unclear how this art book managed to leak, so far in advance of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdoms official launch date, the publication noted at the time.
Two months later, its clear that a) Nintendo is very aware of the leak and b) they have a specific internet user in mind as the potential leaker.
DMCA Takedown Sent to Discord
On February 21, Nintendo of America sent a DMCA notice to Discord. The complaint targeted a Discord channel named Tears of the Kingdom Official Discord Server.
The notice went on to target six specific URLs featuring images or links to images from Nintendos copyright-protected and unreleased special edition art book for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom video game in violation of Nintendos rights.
Just eight minutes after the takedown notice was sent to
Discord, the platform acknowledged the complaint and told Nintendo
that the content will be removed promptly.
Around ten hours after sending the initial takedown notice, Nintendo followed up with a request for immediate review and takedown of the Discord channel, noting that members were still distributing the pre-release artwork using direct messages and links.
Additionally, some members have been assigned the...

ISD1700 Based Lo-Fi Sampler Hackaday
Custom music instruments here at Hackaday range from wacky to poignant. OpnBeat by [Hiro Akihabara] focuses on something different: simplicity.
There are few buttons, the design and code are optimized to be straightforward and easy to modify, and the interface is slick. Eight musical keys complement three interface keys and a knob. An Arduino Nano powers the main brains of the system but the music generation comes from eight Nuvoton ISD1700s controlled over SPI by the Nano. The beautifully laid-out PCB is 110mm by 180mm (4.33 by 7), so cases can easily be printed on smaller FDM printers. All the switches are Cherry MX switches for the beautiful tactile feedback.
The code, PCB, and 3D case files are all available on GitHub. We love the thought that went into the design and the focus on making it easy to recreate. It might be quite as cute and simplified as this twelve-button musical macro pad, but the two together could make quite the band.

In the War on Bacteria, Its Time to Call in the Phages SoylentNews
Regulators have to figure out how to get them on the market:
Ella Balasa was 26 when she realized the routine medical treatments that sustained her were no longer working. The slender lab assistant had lived since childhood with the side effects of cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that turns mucus in the lungs and other organs into a thick, sticky goo that gives pathogens a place to grow. To keep infections under control, she followed a regimen of swallowing and inhaling antibioticsbut by the beginning of 2019, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium lodged in her lungs was making her sicker than she had ever been.
Balasa's lung function was down to 18 percent. She was feverish and too feeble to lift her arms over her head. Even weeks of intravenous colistin, a brutal last-resort antibiotic, made no dent. With nothing to lose, she asked a lab at Yale University whether she could volunteer to receive the organisms they were researching: viruses that attack bacteria, known as bacteriophages.
[...] And it worked. The viruses penetrated the goo, attacked the bacteria, and killed a portion of them; the rest of the bacteria weakened enough that antibiotics could knock them out. Balasa's body cleared the life-threatening infection faster than ever before.
[...] There's an asterisk to her success: Phages are unapproved drugs, not just in the United States, but in the United Kingdom and Western Europe, too. No company makes them for commercial sale in those countries, and hospitals and pharmacies don't stock them. To administer them, physicians must seek a compassionate-use authorization from a government regulatorin Balasa's case, the US Food and Drug Administrationshowing their patients have no other options.

Parallel Computing on the PicoCray RP2040 Cluster Hackaday
[ExtremeElectronics] cleverly demonstrates that if one Raspberry Pi Pico is good, then nine must be awesome. The PicoCray project connects multiple Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller modules into a parallel architecture leveraging an I2C bus to communicate between nodes.
The same PicoCray code runs on all nodes, but a grounded pin on one of the Pico modules indicates that it is to operate as the controller node. All of the remaining nodes operate as processor nodes. Each processor node implements a random back-off technique to request an address from the controller on the shared bus. After waiting a random amount of time, a processor will check if the bus is being used. If the bus is in use, the processor will go back to waiting. If the bus is not in use, the processor can request an address from the controller.
Once a processor node has an address, it can be sent tasks from the controller node. In the example application, these tasks involve computing elements of the Mandelbrot Set. The particular elements to be computed in a given task are allocated by the controller node which then l...

Australia Takes First Steps Towards Banning TikTok SoylentNews
Australia will ban tiktok on government devices despite claims by chinese officials that the application is safe to use.
Is any application on a mobile device really safe to use? What personal data do they collect? Where do they send it? Why don't mobile devices come with the firewall enabled?
Australia's top spy agency has added to growing concerns about a popular social media app, and its collection of users' personal data. State governments across the nation are issuing TikTok bans on official work devices as concerns about data safety increase worldwide.
The app's Australian general manager Lee Hunter recently told The Project that users should feel "safe" on TikTok, and claimed China had no way of accessing data despite the site's parent company operating out of China.
However, national intelligence organisation Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) recently released advice about the app, warning the general public not to use it on a device that can access other information.
"Do not use it on a phone that can access any official information, for example, any workplace communication (email clients, MS Teams)," the ASD warned in advice shared by the Tasmanian government.

Alcohol Recovery Startups Monument and Tempest Shared Patients' Private Data With Advertisers
Alcohol recovery startups Monument and Tempest shared patients' private data with advertisers:
For years, online alcohol recovery startups Monument and Tempest were sharing the personal information and health data of their patients with advertisers without their consent.
Monument, which acquired Tempest in 2022, confirmed the extensive years-long leak of patients' information in a data breach notification filed with California's attorney general last week, blaming their use of third-party tracking systems developed by ad giants including Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Pinterest.
In its disclosure, the companies confirmed their use of website trackers, which are small snippets of code that share information about visitors to their websites with tech giants, and often used for analytics and advertising.
The data shared with advertisers includes patient names, dates of birth, email and postal addresses and phone numbers, and membership numbers associated with the companies and patients' insurance provider. The data also included the person's photo, unique digital ID, what services or plan the patient is using, appointment information, and assessment and survey responses submitted by the patient, which includes detailed responses about a person's alcohol consumption and used to determine their course of treatment.
Monument's own website says these survey answers are "protected" and "used only" by its care team.

In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services on a host residing on a protected or masqueraded (internal) network available to hosts on the opposite side of the gateway (external network), by remapping the destination IP address and port number of the communication to an internal host.
Code Review of Build System Specifications It Will Never Work in Theory
If you've ever had to maintain a 10,000-line Makefile, you'd know that getting programmers to take the problem of flexible, efficient, reproducible builds seriously is the hardest part of the job. If you want proof, try finding a breakpointing, single-stepping debugger for Make, Ant, or any other widely-used build tool.
But to paraphrase my brother, good engineers study carsgreat engineers also study the assembly lines that produce them, and this upcoming paper does exactly that. Based on analysis of over half a million changes from Eclipse and Qt, and a detailed qualitative analysis of 500 of those changes, they authors find that changes to build specs are less than half as likely to be discussed during code review as changes to application code, but that comments on those changes are more likely to point out defects than comments on code. They also find that developers' lack of understanding and interest in build systems is a major hindrance to better review.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a deployment to roll back: apparently we bundled two incompatible versions of one of our dependencies
Build systems automate the integration of source code into executables. Maintaining build systems is known to be challenging. Lax build maintenance can lead to costly build breakages or unexpected software behaviour. Code review is a broadly adopted practice to improve software quality. Yet, little is known about how code review is applied to build specifications.
In this paper, we present the first empirical study of how code review is practiced in the context of build specifications. Through quantitative analysis of 502,931 change sets from the Qt and Eclipse communities, we observe that changes to build specifications are at least two times less likely to be discussed during code review when compared to production and test code changes. A qualitative analysis of 500 change sets reveals that (i) comments on changes to build specifications are more likely to point out defects than rates reported in the literature for production and test code, and (ii) issues related to evolvability of the code and dependency-related issues are the most frequently raised types of issues. Follow-up interviews with nine developers with 1-40 years of experience point out social and technical factors that hinder rigorous review of build specifications, such as a prevailing lack of understanding of and interest in build systems among developers, and the lack of dedicated tooling to support the review of build specifications.

When it comes to cryptocurrency security, whats the best way to secure the private key? Obviously, the correct answer is to write it on a sticky note and put it on the bezel of your monitor; nobodyll ever think of looking there. But, if youre slightly more paranoid, and you have access to a Falcon 9, you might just choose to send it to the Moon. Thats what is supposed to happen in a few months time, as private firm Lunar Outposts MAPP, or Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform, heads to the Moon. The goal is to etch the private key of a wallet, cheekily named Nakamoto_1, on the rover and fund it with 62 Bitcoins, worth about $1.5 million now. The wallet will be funded by an NFT sale of space-themed electronic art, because apparently the project didnt have enough Web3.0 buzzwords yet. So whoever visits the lunar rover first gets to claim the contents of the wallet, whatever they happen to be worth at the time. Of course, it doesnt have to be a human who visits.

The developers behind the vm2 JavaScript sandbox module have addressed a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-29017 (CVSS score 9.8), that could be exploited to execute arbitrary shellcode.
vm2 is a sandbox that can run untrusted code in an isolated context on Node.js servers, it has approximately four million weekly downloads and its library is part of 722 packages.
The flaw was reported by the security researcher Seongil Wi from South Korean security firm KAIST WSP Lab.
The vulnerability affects all versions, including and prior to 3.9.14, it was addressed with the release of vm2 was not properly handling host objects passed to Error.prepareStackTrace in case of unhandled async errors. reads the advisory published by vm2. A threat actor can bypass the sandbox protections to gain remote code execution rights on the host running the sandbox.
Wi also published two proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for this vulnerability that can be used to escape the sandbox to create an empty file named flag on the host.
In October 2022, VM2 maintainers addressed another critical sandbox escape vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-36067.

Thieves Can Steal Modern Cars by Tapping Into a Headlight Wire SoylentNews
As car security has advanced, the world of auto theft has quickly melded with the world of hacking. The advent of high-tech car keys means that hotwiring is out and methods like relay attacks are the new way to gain unauthorized access to a vehicle. Now, however, it seems that attackers have found a new way to entirely bypass the electronic security on modern cars: A method called CAN injection.
[...] The attack relies on a vehicle's CAN bus, the internal computer network that keeps everything running. If you've ever wondered how your car's engine, body control module, and all the little controllers scattered around the car all communicate, CAN bus is the answer. The system is universal in modern cars, and even aftermarket ECU manufacturers now build CAN integration into their products.
The attack method Tindell lays out relies on physical access to the car's CAN bus, meaning an attacker needs to get to the data wires that run through your car. By tapping into these wires, a thief can inject malicious commands into the network allowing the thief to wake up the car's computer controllers, falsify the presence of the car key, and drive off. [...]
[...] This attack isn't the easiest to pull off, given that it requires a thief to partially disassemble the target car, but it's powerful when done correctly entirely bypassing the car's key, unlike relay attacks that simply extend the key's radio range. Tindell lists multiple solutions that automakers can implement, most notably the "zero trust" approach wherein every device, even within a car's internal CAN bus, needs to verify itself during any communication.

Last week I wrote a post with a study about the QO-100 WB transponder power budget. After writing this post, I have been talking with Dave Crump G8GKQ. He says that the main conclusions of my study dont match well his practical experience using the transponder. In particular, he mentions that he has often seen that a relatively large number of stations, such as 8, can use the transponder at the same time. In this situation, they rob much more power from the beacon compared to what I stated in my post.
I have looked more carefully at my data, specially at situations in which the transponder is very busy, to understand better what happens. In this post I publish some corrections to my previous study. As we will see below, the main correction is that the operating point of 73 dBHz output power that I had chosen to compute the power budget is not very relevant. When the transponder is quite busy, the output power can go up to 73.8 dBHz. While a difference of 0.8 dB might not seem much, there is a huge difference in practice, because this drives the transponder more towards saturation, decreasing its gain and robbing more output power from the beacon to be used by other stations.
I want to thank Dave for an interesting discussion about all these topics.
Input power to output power transfer curve review
While reviewing my study, I have not found anything terribly wrong with the methods and calculations themselves (though I have found a way to improve the calculation of transponder noise power, with which I wasnt too happy). It was the interpretation of results what was more problematic.
To begin, let us review my plot of the transponder input to output power function. Here we can see that the transponder is close to saturation, even when only the beacon is active (which corresponds to the leftmost part of the curve). The transponder maximum output power seems to be slightly below 74 dBHz.
Additionally, the histogram of output power shows that most of the time the transponder is below 73.5 dBHz output power.

Estonian National charged with helping Russia acquire U.S. hacking tools and electronics Security Affairs
Andrey Shevlyakov, an Estonian national, was charged in the US with conspiracy and other charges related to acquiring U.S.-made electronics on behalf of the Russian government and military.
The Estonian man is accused of having helped the Russian government and military to purchase US-made electronics and hacking tools.
The defendant was arrested in Estonia on March 28, 2023, he used several Estonian-based business entities (the Estonian Shell Companies) to buy goods that would have been unavailable to Russian end-users.
As alleged in the indictment and other court filings, Shevlyakov procured sensitive electronics from U.S. manufacturers on behalf of Russian end-users, including defense contractors and other Russian government agencies. Most of these items would have been unavailable to Russian end-users if ordered directly for shipment to Russia. reads a press release published by DoJ. Shevlyakov also attempted to acquire computer hacking tools.
Shevlyakov purchased multiple items, including low-noise pre-scalers and synthesizers (used to conduct high-frequency communications) and analog-to-digital converters, which are components used in defense systems such as electronic warfare systems and missiles.
In 2012, the US government added Shevlyakov to Entity List, a ban list for procuring and delivering export-restricted items to Russia. The man circumvented the ban using false names and a network of front companies. In order to deliver the purchased goods, the man ran an intricate logistics operation involving frequent smuggling trips across the Russian border by himself and others.
In May 2020, Shevlyakov used one of his front companies to buy a licensed copy of the penetration testing platform Metasploit Pro.
A license to use Metasploit Pro costs approximately $15,000. In the email, the individual asked Shevlyakovs front company to acquire Metasploit and detailed a history of prior failed attempts to acquire the software through third parties in countries outside Russia. continues the press release. The individual added that the software was dual use and that accordingly, sales to Russia are virtually impossible. Thus, the individual said, we cannot reveal the end user, nor can we identify ourselves. On or about June 1, 2020, the front company email address wrote back, listing prices for different versions of Metasploit Pro.
The Estonian man exported at least $800,000 worth of items from U.S. electronics manufacturers and distributors between approximately October 2012 and January 2022.
For years, Mr. Shevlyakovs elab...

Premier League IPTV Investigations Gather Personal Data on Pirates TorrentFreak
Its
the summer of 2008 and the owner of a fairly new streaming site
based in the north of England is on his way to a London hotel to
meet a potential investor.
Two surveillance teams are already in place; one covertly video recording the meeting from a table in the restaurant, another monitoring the exits. After the meeting, the site owner returns to the north by train, a surveillance team in tow.
After getting off the train, a new surveillance team takes over and shadows the site owner home. No investment was forthcoming; the investor was actually a private investigator working for copyright holders. A high-profile police raid followed just a month later, a lengthy prison sentence four years after that.
Piracy Investigations Take Place in Real Life
Fifteen years ago, covert piracy investigations were mostly the stuff of rumors and rarely documented in public. That the investigation detailed above was conducted by private companies, rather than the police, was controversial but not controversial enough to stop them.
Indeed, private companies conducting their own anti-piracy investigations today have the ability to peer into private lives as they go about protecting and enforcing their intellectual property rights. Since this necessarily involves the collection of personal data, companies like the Premier League sometimes disclose the type of information they collect as part of their privacy policies.
Documentation reveals that the Premier League collects and uses personal data about individuals who have, might have or are likely to infringe the Premier Leagues intellectual property rights. Depending on the circumstances, that might also entail collecting personal data on others related to them.

Physicists Recreate Classic 'Double-Slit' Experiment Using Time Instead of Space SoylentNews
New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment:
A team of physicists has recreated a classic experiment in particle physics with a dimensional twist, by performing it in time instead of just space. In the process, they showcased the utility of a unique material for future experiments.
The researchers redesigned the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 and demonstrated a curious trait of light: that it can behave both as a particle and a wave.
The original experiment tested how light moved through space; the recent rendition tested how light would travel if it was only allowed to at specific times. Details of the team's work are published today in Nature Physics.
[...] In the traditional experiment, a beam of light is projected at a barrier, behind which is a photosensitive detector. The barrier has two parallel slits. If you threw ordinary matter at the barrier, they would roughly form the same shape as the slits on the detector. But when light is cast on the slits, it splits into two waves that pass through the barrier and intersect on the other side.
[...] In the new work, the researchers made one big change: They swapped out an ordinary screen with two slits for an indium-tin-oxide filmthe same material that is used in modern phone screens. (It's actually a metamaterial, or a material not found in nature, that is engineered to behave a certain way.)
The researchers changed the reflectance of the screen using ultrafast lasers, which only allowed light through at specific times, quadrillionths of a second apart. Basically, they built a quantum tollbooth, using the lasers to create time-dependent slits in the barrier. Even when they only allowed one photon through the screen, the light produced an interference pattern.

New atomic-scale understanding of catalysis could unlock massive energy savings Lifeboat News: The Blog
In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of WisconsinMadison chemical engineers have developed model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale. This understanding could allow engineers and chemists to develop more efficient catalysts and tune industrial processespotentially with enormous energy savings, given that 90% of the products we encounter in our lives are produced, at least partially, via catalysis.
Catalyst materials accelerate chemical reactions without undergoing changes themselves. They are critical for refining petroleum products and for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, plastics, food additives, fertilizers, green fuels, industrial chemicals and much more.
Scientists and engineers have spent decades fine-tuning catalytic reactionsyet because its currently impossible to directly observe those reactions at the extreme temperatures and pressures often involved in industrial-scale catalysis, they havent known exactly what is taking place on the nano and atomic scales. This new research helps unravel that mystery with potentially major ramifications for industry.

Physicists Discover that Gravity Can Create Light Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers have discovered that in the exotic conditions of the early universe, waves of gravity may have shaken space-time so hard that they spontaneously created radiation.
The physical concept of resonance surrounds us in everyday life. When youre sitting on a swing and want to go higher, you naturally start pumping your legs back and forth. You very quickly find the exact right rhythm to make the swing go higher. If you go off rhythm then the swing stops going higher. This particular kind of phenomenon is known in physics as a parametric resonance.
Your legs act as an external pumping mechanism. When they match the resonant frequency of the system, in this case your body sitting on a swing, they are able to transfer energy to the system making the swing go higher.

The Unfolding of a New Era in Robotics Lifeboat News: The Blog
Origami robots are autonomous machines that are constructed by folding two-dimensional materials into complex, functional three-dimensional structures. These robots are highly versatile. They can be designed to perform a wide range of tasks, from manipulating small objects to navigating difficult terrain. Their compact size and flexibility allow them to move in ways that traditional robots cannot, making them ideal for use in environments that are hard to reach.
Another notable feature of origami-based robots is their low cost. Because they are constructed using simple materials and techniques, they can be produced relatively inexpensively. This makes them an attractive option for many researchers and companies looking to develop new robotics applications.
There are many potential applications for origami robots. They could be used in search and rescue missions, where their small size and flexibility would allow them to navigate through rubble and debris. They could also be used in manufacturing settings, where their ability to manipulate small objects could be put to use in assembly lines.

Tired of Web Scraping? Make The AI Do It Hackaday
[James Turk] has a novel approach to the problem of scraping web content in a structured way without needing to write the kind of page-specific code web scrapers usually have to deal with. How?

Samsung to Cut Memory Chip Output SoylentNews
Samsung Electronics Co. said it's cutting memory chip production after reporting its slimmest profit since the 2009 financial crisis, a significant step toward ending a supply glut that had cratered prices across the industry.
[...] Operating profit at the world's largest maker of memory chips plunged more than 95% to 600 billion won ($450 million) for the three months ended March, missing the average analyst estimate of 1.4 trillion won. Sales fell 19% to 63 trillion won.
[...] South Korea's largest company had resisted pulling back despite the downturn, in part to grab market share from rivals SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc., which have been forced to cut output.
[...] Samsung's shares rose as much as 4.7% in the highest intraday jump in three months. Hynix shares surged as much as 6.7%. [...] The company had warned that earnings would fall in the first quarter on slowing sales. But memory prices tumbled more than anticipated because of sluggish demand for a wide range of electronics from smartphones to PCs, as consumers and companies navigated recession risks. Despite its post-Covid re-opening, China's market has also not bounced back as quickly as some anticipated. Samsung is estimated to have lost about $3 billion in its memory chip division.
[...] Prices of DRAM - a type of memory used to process data - are expected to fall in the current quarter by around 10%, according to Yuanta's Baik. That follows a roughly 20% slide in the previous three months and a more than 30% drop in the fourth quarter of last year. [...] Inventory at Samsung had swelled to 52.2 trillion won at the end of last year after the company maintained production despite a collapse in demand. The existing high inventory will take time to digest, said TrendForce Senior Vice President Avril Wu. "Slower-than-expected demand in the second half of 2023 will prolong the time required for inventory to get back to normal levels."

Hook that same switch up to a processor that is sampling it constantly, and you will have problems. This is the classic bane of designing microcontroller circuits and is called switch bounce. [Dr. Volt] covers seven different ways of dealing with it in a video that you can see below.
While you tend to think of the problem when you are dealing with pushbuttons or other kinds of switches for humans, the truth is the same thing occurs anywhere you have a switch contact, like in a sensor, a mechanical rotary encoder, or even relay contacts. You can deal with the problem in hardware, software, or both.
Adding a low-pass filter with a resistor and a capacitor is one method. But you might be surprised to find that some circuits will be happy with that and others wont. Why? [Dr. Volt] will show you on a scope.
Before you head to the comments to tell us that you can do it with a 555 timer, dont worry. He covers that too, as well as some software methods, including what to do if you are usi...

Somebody Wants to Copyright a Rhythm Get Ready for the Dembow Tax If They Succeed SoylentNews
Somebody wants to copyright a rhythm get ready for the dembow tax if they succeed:
One of the most pernicious effects of today's copyright maximalism is the idea that every element of a creative work has to be owned by someone, and protected against "unauthorised" that is, unpaid use by other artists. That goes against several thousand years of human creativity, which only exists thanks to successive generations of artists using and building on our cultural heritage. The ownership model of art is essentially selfish: it seeks to maximise the financial gains of one creator, at the expense of the entire culture of which they are part. A good example of this clash of interests can be seen in yet another lawsuit in the music industry. This time, somebody is trying to copyright a rhythm:
The [Fish Market song] track featured the first known example of what would come to be known as a "dembow" rhythm the percussive, slightly syncopated four-to-the-floor beat that travelled from reggae to become the signature beat of reggaeton, today the world-conquering sound of Latin American pop.
Now, more than 30 years after Fish Market was released, Steely & Clevie Productions is suing three of reggaeton's most celebrated hitmakers El Chombo, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee for what they characterise as unlawful interpolation of Fish Market's rhythm (or "riddim"), and are seeking the credit and royalties they say they deserved from the start.

Homemade Scope Does Supercapacitor Experiments Hackaday
Weve always been a little sad that supercapacitors arent marked with a big red S on a yellow background. Nevertheless, [DiodeGoneWild] picked up some large-value supercapacitors and used his interesting homemade oscilloscope to examine how they worked. You can watch what he is up to in his workshop in the video below.
Supercapacitors use special techniques to achieve very high capacitance values. For example, the first unit in the video is a 500 F capacitor. Thats not a typo not microfarads or even millifarads a full 500 Farads. With reasonable resistance, it can take a long time to charge 500F, so it is easier to see the behavior, especially with the homemade scope, which probably wont pick up very fast signals.
For example, A 350 mA charging current takes about an hour to bring the capacitor up to 2.6 V, just under its maximum rating of 2.7 V. Supercapacitors usually have low voltage tolerance. Their high capacity makes them ideal for low-current backup applications where you might not want a rechargeable battery because of weight, heat, or problems with long-term capacity loss.
The real star of the video, though, is the cast of homemade test equipment, including the oscilloscope, a power supply, and a battery analyzer. To be fair, he also has some store-bought test gear, too, and the results seem to match well.
Supercapacitors are one of those things that you dont need until you do. If you havent had a cha...

We Can Use Stem Cells to Make Embryos. How Far Should We Go? SoylentNews
[...] These "synthetic embryos" can be made without the direct contribution of egg or sperm cells. Because they're not "real" embryos, some have argued that the same restrictions don't apply.
Embryos made from stem cells, rather than an egg and sperm, appear to generate a short-lived pregnancy-like response in monkeys.
Recent advances are allowing scientists to create embryo-like structures that look more and more like the real thing. Just this week, scientists in China described how they developed structures called blastoids for 17 days in the lab. They even managed to get some of them to implant in the uteruses of monkeys and trigger the very first signs of pregnancy.
The blastoids didn't survive for very long, probably because researchers haven't quite figured out how best to mimic what happens during the development of a conventional embryo. But most believe that it's just a matter of time. If we can eventually get stem cells to form a viable embryo, a functional fetus, or even a baby, should we treat blastoids in the same way we treat embryos?
Perhaps the bigger question rests on how embryo-like these stem-cell-derived structures are. For some scientists, it's a catch-22 situation. If the blastoids look too much like embryos, then many believe research with them should be restricted in the same way that we control work on human embryos.
But if they don't look enough like embryos, then there's no point in using them for research, says Chuva de Sousa Lopes. "At the moment, it's so difficult to understand how close they are, or how different they are," she says.

CISA adds Veritas Backup Exec flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog Security Affairs
US CISA has added Veritas Backup Exec flaws, which were exploited in ransomware attacks, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added the following five new issues to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog:
- CVE-2021-27876 Veritas Backup Exec Agent File Access Vulnerability
- CVE-2021-27877 Veritas Backup Exec Agent Improper Authentication Vulnerability
- CVE-2021-27878 Veritas Backup Exec Agent Command Execution Vulnerability
- CVE-2019-1388 Microsoft Windows Certificate Dialog Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
- CVE-2023-26083 Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver Information Disclosure Vulnerability
This week Mandiant researchers reported that an affiliate of the ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware gang, tracked as UNC4466, was observed exploiting the three above vulnerabilities in the Veritas Backup solution to gain initial access to the target network.
Unlike other ALPHV affiliates, UNC4466 doesnt rely on stolen credentials for initial access to victim environments. Mandiant researchers first observed this affiliate targeting Veritas issues in the wild on October 22, 2022.
The CVE-2023-26083 flaw in the Arm Mali GPU driver is chained with other issues to install commercial spyware, as reported by Googles Threat Analysis Group (TAG) in a recent report.
According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.

Leak Reveals AMD's 'Strix Point' APUs With 16 CPU Cores and 3 GHz+ IGPU SoylentNews
With Zen 5 CPU and RDNA 3+ iGPU, Strix Point could be a game changer:
At CES 2023, AMD announced its Phoenix-HS APUs featuring Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 iGPUs. The company is expected to follow that with the 'Strix Point' APUs, sporting Zen 5 CPUs and RDNA 3+ iGPUs. According to AMD's official roadmap, the Strix Point chips will launch sometime in 2024, although the exact ETA remains a mystery for now.
Almost a year after AMD officially teased its 'Strix Point' APUs, popular YouTube channel RedGamingTech has shared many interesting details about the upcoming hardware. According to the video, the flagship Strix Point APU will come with 16 cores, including 8 big Zen 5 and 8 smaller Zen 4D cores, alongside 32MB of L3 cache.
On the graphics side, the chip is expected to feature an RDNA 3+ iGPU with 8 Work Group Processors (WGP). The video also suggests that the iGPU on the most powerful Strix Point APU would have clock speeds of more than 3GHz.
If the reported specs hold up, it would be a little disappointing, as an earlier video from the channel claimed that Strix Point's RDNA 3+ iGPU could have 12 WGP/24 Compute Units (CU) with around 9 TFLOPS of FP32 precision performance.
Meanwhile, the mid-range Strix Point SKU will reportedly have 4x Zen 5 and 8x Zen 4D cores, paired with 16MB of L3 cache and 4 RDNA 3+ WGPs. Finally, the entry-level chip is said to come with up to 6 cores, including 2x Zen 5 and 4x Zen 4D. They are also tipped to have 8 MB of L3 cache and a 2 WGP iGPU.
The core count, cache and WGPs will not be the only differences between the high-end and entry-level Strix Point APUs. As per the video, the top-end chip in the lineup will be fabricated using TSMC's 3 nm process, while the other two SKUs will use the 4 nm process. The chips are also expected to have a powerful memory controller with support for DDR5-6400 or LPDDR5X-8533 RAM.

Russias New Mystery Shortwave Station Hackaday
The Buzzer, also known as UVB-76 or UZB-76, has been a constant companion to anyone with a shortwave radio tuned to 4625 kHz. However, [Ringway Manchester] notes that there is now a second buzzer operating near in frequency to the original. Of course, like all mysterious stations, people try to track their origin. [Ringway] shows some older sites for the Buzzer and the current speculation on the current transmitter locations.
Of course, the real question is why? The buzzing isnt quite nonstop. There are occasional voice messages. There are also jamming attempts, including one, apparently, by Pac Man.
Some people think the new buzzer is an image, but it doesnt seem to be the same signal. The theory is that the buzzing is just to keep the frequency clear in case it is needed. However, we wonder if it isnt something else. Compressed data would sound like noise. Other theories are that the buzzing studies the ionosphere or that it is part of a doomsday system that would launch nuclear missiles. Given that the signal has broken down numerous times, this doesnt seem likely.
Whats even stranger is that occasional background voices are audible on the signal. That implies that buzzing noise isnt generated directly into the transmitter but is a device in front of a microphone.
Weve speculated on the buzzer and the jamming efforts around it...

Z-Library Plans to Let Users Share Physical Books Through Z-Points TorrentFreak
With more than 12 million books in its archive,
Z-Library advertised itself as the largest repository of pirated
books on the Internet.
The site has millions of regular readers who find a wealth of free knowledge and entertainment at their fingertips.
This success was briefly interrupted late last year when the U.S. Government seized the sites main domain names. The enforcement action also led to the arrest of two alleged Russian operators of the site, who now find themselves at the center of a criminal investigation.
A crackdown of this magnitude usually marks the end of a pirate site, but Z-Library appears to be going in the opposite direction. The site has made a full comeback with a more censorship-resistant setup and recently collected tens of thousands of dollars in donations.
Next Up: Sharing Paper Books
In a new message, posted this week, Z-Library thanks its userbase for their generous contributions, noting that it secured all the necessary funds to ensure continued development. Apparently, this includes support for offline sharing.
In addition to offering millions of ebooks, Z-Library says that its working on a new service that will help users to share physical copies with each other.
Books you have read should not gather dust on your shelf instead, they can get a second life in the hands of new readers! This helps to preserve the literary heritage and spread the knowledge and ideas contained in books to more people, they write.
Z-Points
The book lending concept, commonly known as a library, is a few hundred years old already, but Z-Library will upgrade both scale and reach. The idea is to create a global market with dedicated pick-up points for user-donated books.
[W]e want to organize Z-Points collection and storage points for books that will be the link between those who share their books and those who need them.
Book owners who are willing to share them with other users can send books to the nearest Z-Point in their region. And those who need books stored in these points will be able to receive them for their use.

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...

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.

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.

The Sounds Emitted By Plants Are Real But They Are Still Not Talking Hackaday
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.

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....

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

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 (Update) 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...

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.
