Design for 3D Printing Hack Chat Hackaday
Join us on Wednesday, May 24 at noon Pacific for the Design for 3D Printing Hack Chat with Eric Utley!
Like a lot of enabling technologies, 3D printing has had a strange trajectory. It started out as a laboratory oddity, moved on to industrial applications, and finally filtered down to the DIY set, first as scratch-built machines and later as inexpensive commodity printers that can be found almost anywhere. Pretty much everyone who needs a 3D printer now has one.

SoylentNews Site Shutdown SoylentNews
This is the post I never thought I would have to make. I am also writing this post on behalf of SoylentNews PBC, the legal owner of SoylentNews, and not as a member of the staff or the community.
SoylentNews is going to shut down operations on June 30th.
This wasn't an easy decision to come to, and it's ultimately the culmination of a lot of factors, some which were in my control, and some that weren't. A large part boils down to critical maintenance to the site not properly being performed for a very long time. To pay back the mountain of technical debt we've built up, it would require relaunching the site from scratch.
I'll discuss this more in depth below, but I can't personally justify the time any more, especially due to the negative impact that SN is having on my personal life.
Before we shut down, at least for the foreseeable future, I'm going to outline the situation as I see it, my own personal responsibility, and what happens next.

EU hits Meta with $1.3 billion fine for transferring European user data to the US Security Affairs
The European Union condemned Meta with a record $1.3 billion fine for transferring European user data to the US.
The European Union fined Meta $1.3 billion for transferring user data to the US. This is the biggest fine since the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union (EU) on May 25, 2018.
In the past, the social media giant Meta threatened to block its services for users in Europe without a legal basis for data transfers. Now the company was disappointed by the decision of Irelands Data Protection Commission and said that it sets a dangerous precedent for a large number of companies transferring data between the EU and U.S..
There is no immediate disruption to Facebook in Europe, Nick Clegg, Metas president of global and affairs, and Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Newstead said in a statement published by the Associated Press. This decision is flawed, unjustified and sets a dangerous precedent for the countless other companies transferring data between the EU and U.S., .
The battle had roots in the past, precisely in 2013 when the privacy activist and NOYB founder, Max Schrems, filed a complaint about Facebooks handling of his data following the revelations of Edward Snowden about the global surveillance program operated by the US.
On December 13, 2022, the European Commission launched the formal process to adopt an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework on December 13, 2022.
The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce.
Clearly, in order to stop shipping user data to the US, Meta might have to make huge investments such as re-distribute its data to European plants. Unfortunately, currently it has only 3 sites in EU out of 25 dat...

Are Large Language Model Generative AIs Sentient, Conscious or Thinking? Lifeboat News: The Blog
ChatGPT has changed the world since it emerged a few short months ago. Where will future advancements in generative AI take us?
Welcome back Katie Brenneman, a regular contributor to 21st Century Tech Blog. Several weeks ago when ChatGPT entered the headlines I suggested to Katie that she consider writing about Large Language Modelling (LLM) and the technological and societal implications in terms of its capabilities. Were we witnessing the birth of consciousness in this new artificial intelligence (AI) discipline, or were we coming to terms with what defines our sentience?
By definition, sentience is about feelings and sensations and not thinking. Consciousness, on the other hand, is about our awareness of self and our place in the world around us. And thinking is about the ability to reason, consider a problem, come up with an idea or solution, or have an opinion.
So from what we know about ChatGPT in its various iterations, does it meet the definition of any of these terms? Is it sentient? Is it conscious? Is it thinking?

Hoverboard Rides on Eddy Currents Hackaday
The famous hoverboards of Back to the Future havent quite gotten here yet, but that hasnt stopped anyone with a unique personal vehicle from using the name any time they need some quick marketing. The self-balancing scooter trend of the mid-2010s was the best example of this in recent memory, but there are also water-propelled platforms that use the popular name as well as a myriad of other more skateboard-like devices that never got off the ground at all. This project from [Damien Dolata], on the other hand, might be the most authentic prototype weve seen compared against the
The hoverboard uses a set of rotating magnets, referred to in this build as magneto-rotational repulsors, which spin up to an extremely high rotational speed underneath the board. When above a metal surface, the spinning magnets generate eddy currents in the metal beneath them which create the strong magnetic field needed to levitate the board. Unlike the Lexus hoverboard system which used supercooling magnets, this is a much more affordable way of producing magnetic fields but is a little bit more complicated due to the extra moving parts.

The Next Step: Lawsuit Against Sirius or Standard Life? schestowitz.com
Summary: The crimes of Sirius Open Source are being ignored by the police, but that does not mean that holding Sirius accountable is not possible
MERELY two weeks from now itll be half a year since I left Sirius Open Source. Ive since then demonstrated that crimes were committed and I received official letters (several from pension providers) to prove it. The police as I dare say I expected all along did nothing about it, but there are 4 more avenues well turn to. There will be big scandals ahead, thats for sure, assuming we can hold people accountable before they and the company vanish completely. Not only myself but others (former colleagues) suspected something was amiss. Proving it, however, was a big endeavour, owing partly to how pension fund managers operate in the UK (immensely arrogant; not even responding to mail!).
It looks like the pension scheme failed to alert you and failed to alert the regulator, one person told me recently. If the employer becomes insolvent, will the incompetence at Standard Life make them liable to cover the loss?
They try to claim not to know us, I responded. This may be a sign that they know they could be liable, I was told by this person (whose identity and role we prefer to keep private). Do they have record of any of the employees at all?
He kept on asking crucial questions: Is there even one employee who has ever received correspondence direct from Standard Life in the past, either by email or by post?
Standard Life and the IFA were in cahoots, and we have official papers to prove it. We shared some of these before.
If you can get evidence that they knew of even one employee then that might be sufficient for all of you to launch a class action together against Standard Life, the person noted. The pension fraud of Sirius would not have been possible without outside help
There are several steps ahead of us now, but the stronger the proof against them, the person argued, the harder it is for them to make excuses and the more serious their sentences / director bans.

Scientists Finally Confirm What's Inside the Moon SoylentNews
The Moon is not made of green cheese after all:
A thorough investigation has found that the inner core of the Moon is, in fact, a solid ball with a density similar to that of iron. This, researchers hope, will help settle a long debate about whether the Moon's inner heart is solid or molten, and lead to a more accurate understanding of the Moon's history and, by extension, that of the Solar System.
"Our results," writes a team led by astronomer Arthur Briaud of the French National Centre for Scientific Research in France, "question the evolution of the Moon magnetic field thanks to its demonstration of the existence of the inner core and support a global mantle overturn scenario that brings substantial insights on the timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first billion years of the Solar System."
[...] To figure it out once and for all, Briaud and his colleagues collected data from space missions and lunar laser ranging experiments to compile a profile of various lunar characteristics. These include the degree of its deformation by its gravitational interaction with Earth, the variation in its distance from Earth, and its density.
[...] And they found that the lunar core is very similar to that of Earth with an outer fluid layer and a solid inner core. According to their modeling, the outer core has a radius of about 362 kilometers (225 miles), and the inner core has a radius of about 258 kilometers (160 miles). That's about 15 percent of the entire radius of the Moon.
The inner core, the team found, also has a density of about 7,822 kilograms per cubic meter. That's very close to the density of iron.
[..] We know not long after it formed, the Moon had a powerful magnetic field, which started to decline about 3.2 billion years ago. Such a magnetic field is generated by motion and convection in the core, so what the lunar core is made of is deeply relevant to how and why the magnetic field disappeared.

AirTags, Tiles, SmartTags and the Dilemmas of Personal Tracking Devices Hackaday
In an ideal world we would never lose our belongings, and not spend a single hour fruitlessly searching for some keys, a piece of luggage, a smartphone or one of the two dozen remote controls which are scattered around the average home these days. Since we do not live in this ideal world, we have had to come up with ways to keep track of our belongings, whether inside or outside our homes, which has led to todays ubiquitous personal tracking devices.
Todays popular Bluetooth-based trackers constantly announce their presence to devices set up to listen for them. Within a home, this range is generally enough to find the tracker and associated item using a smartphone, after which using special software the tracker can be made to sound its built-in speaker to ease localizing it by ear. Outside the home, these trackers can use mesh networks formed by smartphones and other devices to phone home to paired devices.
This is great when its your purse. But this also gives anyone the ability to stick such a tracker device onto a victims belongings and track them without their consent, for whatever nefarious purpose. Yet it is this duality between useful and illegal that has people on edge when it comes to these trackers. How can we still use the benefits they offer, without giving stalkers and criminals free reig...

Comments on the European Patent Offices Strategic Plan to Survive Another 5 Years Techrights
Summary: European Patent Office (EPO) staff representatives have a lot to say about the EPOs document-wielding managers, who have managed to destroy not only the EPOs reputation but also the quality of staffing, legitimacy of patents etc. (all that in pursuit of short-term monetary gains)
The Central Staff Committee (CSC) of the EPO wrote to Antnio Campinos exactly one week ago. It commented on the Hey Hi (AI) hype and many other plans of the EPOs management. When the notorious hype wave isnt (mis)used to promote European software patents (the buzzwords du jour keep changing all the time) its used to promote understaffing or layoffs (putting more work pressure/burden on remaining examiners, forcing them to grant in a rush, sometimes due to inability to find prior art under unreasonable time constraints).
It commented on the Hey Hi (AI) hype and many other plans of the EPOs management.Rather than comment on what the CSC has to say (we might do a video about this separately), lets quote what the CSC told colleagues:
The CSC has been invited to share its view in the public consultation on the EPOs Strategic Plan 2028.
A new strategic plan is an opportunity to pave the way towards a better future for the Office, where staff is treated as its main asset and is motivated to support and ideally identifies itself again with the mission and objectives of the Office.
As the statutory social partner representing EPO staff, we have shared our views with the Office, in this open letter to the President of the Office.

[$] A slab allocator (removal) update LWN.net
The kernel developers try hard to avoid duplicating functionality in the kernel, which is enough of a challenge to maintain as it is. So it has often seemed out of character for the kernel to support three different slab allocators (called SLAB, SLOB, and SLUB), all of which handle the management of small memory allocations in similar ways. At the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, slab maintainer Vlastimil Babka updated the group on progress toward the goal of reducing the number of slab allocators in the kernel and gave an overview of what to expect in that area.

Quantum Biology: Unlocking the Mysteries of How Life Works Lifeboat News: The Blog
Quantum biology explores how quantum effects influence biological processes, potentially leading to breakthroughs in medicine and biotechnology. Despite the assumption that quantum effects rapidly disappear in biological systems, research suggests these effects play a key role in physiological processes. This opens up the possibility of manipulating these processes to create non-invasive, remote-controlled therapeutic devices. However, achieving this requires a new, interdisciplinary approach to scientific research.
Imagine using your cell phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and diseases. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But this may one day be a possibility through the emerging field of quantum biology.
Over the past few decades, scientists have made incredible progress in understanding and manipulating biological systems at increasingly small scales, from protein folding to genetic engineering. And yet, the extent to which quantum effects influence living systems remains barely understood.

Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture
Intel quietly released a new whitepaper and specification for their proposal on "X86-S" as a 64-bit only x86 architecture. If their plans workout, in the years ahead we could see a revised 64-bit only x86 architecture.
Entitled "Envisioning a Simplified Intel Architecture", Intel engineers lay the case for a 64-bit mode-only architecture. Intel is still said to be investigating the 64-bit mode-only architecture that they also refer to as "x86S". Intel is hoping to solicit industry feedback while they continue to explore a 64-bit mode only ISA.
[...] Under this proposal, those wanting to run legacy 32-bit operating systems would have to rely on virtualization. To further clarify, 32-bit x86 user-space software would continue to work on modern 64-bit operating systems with X86-S.

China bans chip maker Micron from its key information infrastructure Security Affairs
The Chinese government announced the ban on the products made by the US memory chip giant Micron Technology over national security concerns.
The Cyberspace Administration of China announced the ban on products made by US memory chip giant Micron Technology over security concerns. The ban is related to the use of company products in key infrastructure projects.
The decision is the last act of the dispute between China and the U.S., both countries recognize the importance of technological sovereignty for the development and growth of their economies and are aware of the potential risks of using technological solutions provided by hostile governments.
The countrys cyberspace regulator announced that the decision results from the failure of a network security assessment conducted by the Network Security Review Office on Microns products sold in China.
A few days ago, the Network Security Review Office conducted a network security review of Microns products sold in China in accordance with the law. reads the official announcement.
The review found that Microns products have relatively serious potential network security issues, which pose a major security risk to my countrys key information infrastructure supply chain and affect my countrys national security. For this reason, the Network Security Review Office has made a conclusion that the network security review should not be passed. According to the Network Security Law and other laws and regulations, operators of critical information infrastructure in China should stop purchasing Micron products.
According to the announcement, the assessment revealed the presence of severe security issues in the products made by Micron that pose severe risks to the national key information infrastructure.
The announcement pointed out that the government of Beijing is promoting collaboration with foreign manufacturers, but their products must be compliant with Chinese laws and regulations.
The purpose of this network security review of Microns products is to prevent product network security issues from endangering the security of the countrys key information infrastructure, which is a necessary measure to maintain national security. China firmly promotes high-level opening up to the outside world. As long as it abides by Chinese laws and regulations, companies from all countries and various platforms are welcome to enter the Chinese market.
The ban is the first major action against a US chip maker, on the other end, the US Government has already adopted similar actions against Chinese giants.
Micron has been already notified by the Chinese authorities abo...

A Turning Point for U.S. AI Policy: Senate Explores Solutions SoylentNews
Almost 20 years ago, Senator Ted Stevens was widely mocked and ridiculed for referring to the Internet as a series of tubes even though he led the Senate Commerce Committee which was responsible for regulating it. And just several years ago, members of Congress were mocked for their lack of understanding of Facebook's business model when Mark Zuckerberg testified about the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Fast forward to this week, when the Senate Judiciary Committee held one of the most productive hearings in Congress in many years, taking up the challenge of how to regulate the emerging AI revolution. This time around, the senators were well-prepared, knowledgeable and engaged. Over at ACM, Marc Rotenberg, a former Staff Counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee has a good assessment of the meeting that notes the highlights and warning signs:
It is easy for a Congressional hearing to spin off in many directions, particularly with a new topic. Senator Blumenthal set out three AI guardrailstransparency, accountability, and limitations on usethat resonated with the AI experts and anchored the discussion. As Senator Blumenthal said at the opening, "This is the first in a series of hearings to write the rules of AI. Our goal is to demystify and hold accountable those new technologies and avoid some of the mistakes of the past."
Congress has struggled in recent years because of increasing polarization. That makes it difficult for members of different parties, even when they agree, to move forward with legislation. In the early days of U.S. AI policy, Dr. Lorraine Kisselburgh and I urged bipartisan support for such initiatives as the OSTP AI Bill of Rights. In January, President Biden called for non-partisan legislation for AI. The Senate hearing on AI was a model of bipartisan cooperation, with members of the two parties expressing similar concerns and looking for opportunities for agreement.

Certified Anti-Piracy Coach Helps Piracy Addicts Go Legal TorrentFreak
The insidious nature of a developing addiction often
takes people by surprise, regardless of the substance involved, but
especially when its freely available, all over the internet.
While an occasional copy-and-paste is known to alleviate boredom, peer pressure at a vulnerable moment can lead to a whole file or even an entire folder being permanently copied to a USB stick.
Most people feel no ill effects but for thrill-seekers, the instant high is over in moments, triggering a vicious cycle of increasingly risky copying and diminishing returns.
A new campaign unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival aims to raise awareness of this addiction and how creators end up suffering the consequences.
Protecting Creation Against Piracy: Can We Go Further?
Revealed during an anti-piracy roundtable at the Festival on Saturday, the campaign is the work of two French government agencies CNC (National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image) and ARCOM, the new anti-piracy/audiovisual regulator in France.
CNC CEO Olivier Henrard and ARCOMs Denis Rapone unveiled the campaign with support from Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association.
The ambition of this campaign, with a slightly offbeat tone, is to encourage more and more Internet users to change their habits in favor of practices that respect creation, ARCOM notes.
In 2022, 86% of French Internet users aged 15 and over have consumed at least one cultural good online, films, series, video games, music, etc.
Recovering Piracy Addicts in Therapy
The campaign features a series of spots set to appear on television, cinema, radio and social networks, from June 15, 2023. They reveal the struggles of recovering piracy addicts as they transition from illegal to legal content with the help of Isabelle Champart, a certified anti-piracy coach/therapist.
It appears that with guidance from Isabelle, French piracy addicts will make a full recovery and have no further use for her skills. Heres a sneak preview of six slots, with genera...

The Wizard of Semiconductors Hackaday
If you have three hours and you want to learn the fundamentals of semiconductors, [Tiny Tapeout] has something for you: An introduction to SiliWiz. Youll also need the SiliWiz software (or use it online), which resembles the kind of tools that chip designers use but is meant for students to use as a learning tool
Using SiliWiz, you create layers on a virtual device, and you can use Spice to view the results. The tutorial is meant to be high-level and is suggested for students aged 14 or over (but we liked it and we are quite a bit older than that). Some more advanced material is also available at the same site.
SiliWiz is easy to use. You build layers of n or p material, metal, or polysilicon. A slider lets you show a cross-section at a particular point. You label metal endpoints and use the simulation to plot the results. As expected, the process mimics a simplified
Weve had experience designing and doing failure analysis on ICs, and it is truly a different world. For example, resistors created with diffusion or polysilicon are typically difficult to make precise (thats why you see laser-trimmed resistors on expensive precision components). However, because photolithography is very precise, the ratio of two capacitors can be a very dependable value even...

Can charismatic robots help teams be more creative? Lifeboat News: The Blog
Increasingly, social robots are being used for support in educational contexts. But does the sound of a social robot affect how well they perform, especially when dealing with teams of humans? Teamwork is a key factor in human creativity, boosting collaboration and new ideas. Danish scientists set out to understand whether robots using a voice designed to sound charismatic would be more successful as team creativity facilitators.
We had a robot instruct teams of students in a creativity task. The robot either used a confident, passionateie charismatictone of voice or a normal, matter-of-fact tone of voice, said Dr. Kerstin Fischer of the University of Southern Denmark, corresponding author of the study in Frontiers in Communication. We found that when the robot spoke in a charismatic speaking style, students ideas were more original and more elaborate.
We know that social robots acting as facilitators can boost creativity, and that the success of facilitators is at least partly dependent on charisma: people respond to charismatic speech by becoming more confident and engaged. Fischer and her colleagues aimed to see if this effect could be reproduced with the voices of social robots by using a text-to-speech function engineered for characteristics associated with charismatic speaking, such as a specific pitch range and way of stressing words. Two voices were developed, one charismatic and one less expressive, based on a range of parameters which correlate with perceived speaker charisma.

The UKs Secretive Web Surveillance Program is Ramping Up SoylentNews
Official reports and spending documents show that in the past year, UK police have deemed the testing of a system that can collect people's "internet connection records" a success, and have started work to potentially introduce the system nationally. If implemented, it could hand law enforcement a powerful surveillance tool.
Critics say the system is highly intrusive, and that officials have a history of not properly protecting people's data. Much of the technology and its operation is shrouded in secrecy, with bodies refusing to answer questions about the systems.
At the end of 2016, the UK government passed the Investigatory Powers Act, which introduced sweeping reforms to the country's surveillance and hacking powers. The law added rules around what law enforcement and intelligence agencies can do and access, but it was widely criticizedfor its impact on people's privacy, earning it the name the "Snooper's Charter."
Particularly controversial was the creation of so-called internet connection records (ICRs). Under the law, internet providers and phone companies can be orderedwith a senior judge approving the decisionto store people's browsing histories for 12 months.
[...] Little is known about the development and use of ICRs. When the Investigatory Powers Act was passed, internet companies said it would take them years to build the systems needed to collect and store ICRs. However, some of those pieces may now be falling into place. In February, the Home Office, a government department that oversees security and policing in the UK, published a mandatory review of the operation of the Investigatory Powers Act so far.
The review says the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has tested the "operational, functional, and technical aspects" of ICRs and found a "significant operational benefit" of collecting the records. A small trial that "focused" on websites that provided illegal images of childre...

BatLoader campaign impersonates ChatGPT and Midjourney to deliver Redline Stealer Security Affairs
Researchers identified an ongoing BatLoader campaign relying on Google Search Ads to deliver rogue web pages for ChatGPT and Midjourney.
In early May, researchers at eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) spotted an ongoing BatLoader campaign using Google Search Ads to redirect victims to imposter web pages for AI-based services like ChatGPT and Midjourney.
The rogue pages are designed to promote fake apps of popular AI services.
In the campaign observed by the researchers, threat actors are using BatLoader in the form of MSIX Windows App Installer files to deliver the Redline Stealer. In February 2023, eSentire reported another BatLoader campaign targeting users searching for AI tools.
Both AI services are extremely popular but lack first-party standalone apps (i.e., users interface with ChatGPT via their web interface while Midjourney uses Discord). This vacuum has been exploited by threat actors looking to drive AI app-seekers to imposter web pages promoting fake apps. reads the analysis published by eSentire.

Weve Got A Saxaboom At Home Son Hackaday
Most parents have heard a familiar story. Their lovely child comes up, having seen a celebrity rocking out with a funny $20 toy from the 80s, and asks for it. Of course, you reply, its just 20 dollars. However, a quick scan through eBay reveals that everyone elses kid has also been asking for this obscure toy for a school event, which now costs around $700. [Ben] found himself in that exact position and made a crucial off-hand comment, I bet I could make one of those. That was how his hectic journey into the world of toy reproduction began.
All [Ben] had for reference when recreating a Sax-A-Boom were pictures and sound clips.

California Pot Industry Facing 'Extinction Event' SoylentNews
Industry insiders are warning that hundreds of pot shops could go out of business this year:
California's pot industry could be on the verge of an "extinction event," with pot shops going out of business as they miss tax payments and sink under millions of dollars of debt.
Debt problems have plagued the industry for years a 2022 report estimated that the industry was collectively sitting on over $600 million in debt but a change in tax law that took effect this year has stakeholders worried the mounting debt bubble will finally become fatal. A San Francisco politician introduced a law this year in the state legislature that would crack down on pot businesses that don't pay their debts.
State law recently shifted the burden for paying cannabis excise taxes from distributors to retailers, with the first tax payments due May 1. Retailers have historically had the most trouble paying their bills, and it appears that many shops lack the cash to pay their state excise taxes, according to new state tax data obtained by SFGATE.
Over 13% of California's retailers, or 265 pot shops, failed to make any tax payment by the May 1 deadline, according to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. Those businesses are now facing a 50% penalty on the taxes they owe, which could be a death blow to many shops.
[...] The entire cannabis supply chain has faced a chronic debt problem: Farmers report never getting paid for thousands of dollars in product, distributors say retailers don't pay them and have started blacklisting some shops, and even the federal government is getting stiffed. An analysis done last fall by Green Market Report found that 10 of the largest pot companies in the country owed over $500 million combined in unpaid taxes.

Watch a Web Page Fetch Itself Over TLS, Complete With Commentary Hackaday
TLS, byte by byte performs an unusual and interesting function: it fetches itself over HTTPS, and provides a complete annotation of whats going on in the process, one byte at a time. Visit the site and give the button a click to watch it happen, its neat!
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is whats responsible for encrypting traffic over the internet, and its normally implemented on top of TCP to encrypt an application-layer protocol like HTTP (resulting in HTTPS and the little padlock icon in browsers indicating a connection with a web site is encrypted.) Back in the day, traffic over the internet was commonly unencrypted, but nowadays no communication or hardware is too humble for encryption and methods are easily accessible.
So for what purpose would someone actually need or use such an implementation of TLS? Well, probably no one actually needs it.

Cybersickness More Likely to Affect Women SoylentNews
Psychology professor Jonathan Kelly studies human computer interaction, spatial cognition and virtual reality. He says gender discrepancies in cybersickness may not seem that important when it's related to video games and other forms of entertainment.
"But it's still a problem, and when VR gets to the point where it's a bigger part of job training or education in a classroom, it's even more important to make sure people can access this technology. If not, a lot of people are going to get left out, and there could be a backlash," says Kelly.
Like motion sickness, cybersickness can occur when there's a mismatch between visual motion and body motion. Symptoms, including nausea, dizziness, headaches and eye fatigue, usually resolve quickly after removing the headset. But in severe cases, they sometimes last for hours.
[...] As part of a larger study on adaptation to cybersickness, the ISU researchers recruited 150 participants to play up to 20 minutes of a VR game with a headset. The participants were new to VR and could stop if they felt too sick to continue. The researchers found women ended the game early twice as often as men and reported a sickness intensity that was 40% higher.
[...] For the second paper, the researchers explored whether the distance between an individual's pupils could help explain the gender difference in cybersickness. VR headsets have an adjustable lens set-up to accommodate different users, but some people fall outside the range. The researchers found women participants on average had smaller distances between their pupils than men, but it did not predict whether they would get cybersick during the game.
What seemed to matter more was whether they had previous experience with motion sickness or screen sickness (e.g., feeling sick in movie theaters, while playing a video game.)
"Women reported experiencing more motion sickness and screen-based sickness than men, and this increased susceptibility is part of the reason that women experience more cybersickness," says Kelly.

A Decade of Pirate Bay Proxy War: Did ISP Blocking Slay the Hydra? TorrentFreak
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium and Brazil; just
two letters of the alphabet and thats already five countries that
have implemented ISP blocking against The Pirate Bay.
The growing list, which continues with Denmark and persists through Finland, France and Germany, doesnt stop until it reaches the United Arab Emirates and finally, the UK.
Thats around 30 countries overall, give or take, that have resorted to ISP blocking because no matter whats thrown at it, The Pirate Bay simply refuses to die.
At least in part, the site is still alive after more than a decade of widespread blocking due to the existence of proxy sites. These sites tend to look and feel like The Pirate Bay but operate from different domain names that arent yet on ISP blocklists.
This means that otherwise blocked internet users get to enjoy broadly the same Pirate Bay experience as they did before. At least for a while.
Rightsholders Also Block Pirate Bay Proxies
As reported yesterday, one of the most popular Pirate Bay proxy indexing sites recently disappeared from GitHub.
ProxyBay was a significant player, one that had helped dozens of millions of users gain access to The Pirate Bay by directing them to active Pirate Bay proxy sites. However, in common with The Pirate Bay itself, proxy sites are also subjected to ISP blocking, which can render some of them redundant, not to mention inaccessible.
Given that proxy sites and proxy indexes contribute to the overall health of the Pirate Bay hydra, that got us thinking: Is the hydra alive and well? Or has it lost a few too many heads over the years?
Data Sources Used
While were aware that proxy sites face blocking in several countries, until today wed never drilled into the details. It quickly became apparent that a complete overview would require significant time and resources but our short report today should help set the tone.
To weigh rightsholders responses to strictly Pirate Bay proxy sites, we obtained domain blocking lists used by ISPs in the UK, Denmark and Italy. The original plan was...

Futurama Returns With New Episodes After a 10-Year Layoff SoylentNews
New Futurama episodes are hitting Hulu in July:
One of the greatest cartoons of the modern era is making a return after a 10-year layoff, and you won't have to wait long to start enjoying brand new episodes. The first new episode of season eight will premiere on Hulu on July 24, with subsequent episodes to follow on Mondays.
Hulu ordered a 20-episode run of Futurama in February of last year that will see much of the original show's voice actors and crew return, including executive producers Matt Groening (The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen (Beavis and Butt-Head). Billy West, Katey Sagal, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman are all back, as is John DiMaggio who voices Bender.
Futurama premiered on Fox in the spring of 1999 and ran on the network for five seasons before getting canceled. The show would return in 2010 for a two season run on Comedy Central, with the final episode of that deal airing on September 4, 2013. The order with Hulu will mark the program's third platform, or fourth if you count the direct to DVD movies.
Season eight will initially consist of 10 episodes. It is unclear if the remaining 10 episodes from the original order will arrive as a second half of season eight or a new season entirely.
According to Hulu's description, new viewers will be able to pick up the series from here while Futurama diehards will be rewarded with payoffs to longstanding mysteries. Highlights are said to include developments in the relationship of Fry and Leela, the contents of Nibbler's litter box, the whereabouts of Kif and Amy's tadpoles, and the history of evil Robot Santa.

The maintainers opted to disable the above functionalities because they have observed a spike in the creation of malicious users and projects on the index in the past week.
New user and new project name registration on PyPI is temporarily suspended. The volume of malicious users and malicious projects being created on the index in the past week has outpaced our ability to respond to it in a timely fashion, especially with multiple PyPI administrators on leave. reads the Incident Report for Python Infrastructure published by the maintainers. While we re-group over the weekend, new user and new project registration is temporarily suspended.
The announcement doesnt provide details about the attacks, such as the threat actors, their motivations and the malicious codes employed in the attacks.
The threat actors publish malicious packages to the PyPI repository and attempt to trick developers into using them using social engineering tricks, such as intentional typos in their names
The repository is a privileged target for threat actors that aim to carry out supply chain attacks aimed at developers.
This week, ReversingLabs researchers warned of the presence of two malicious packages, respectively named nodejs-encrypt-agent and nodejs-cookie-proxy-agent, in the npm package repository containing an open-source info-stealer called...

Sorry, Elon Musk To Suggest Remote Work Isnt Morally Right is a Flawed Attempt to Push Your In-Person Work Agenda. Heres Why Lifeboat News: The Blog
Its as though Musk views in-person work as a kind of hazing ritual he and others did it, so you have to do it too. Well, as my mom frequently said when I proposed doing something dumb because others did it, If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?
Picture this: Musk standing on the precipice of the Golden Gate Bridge, urging us all to leap into the frigid waters below simply because he took the plunge. While his bravado might be admired by some, its not a practical or sustainable model for the future of work. Heres a thought: rather than Musks daredevil dive into the deep abyss of forced in-office work, perhaps we should consider a more measured, flexible and hybrid approach to work, one that incorporates both remote and in-person options, as I tell my clients.

Flat Lenses Made of Nanostructures Transform Tiny Cameras and Projectors IEEE Spectrum
Inside todays computers, phones, and other mobile devices, more and more sensors, processors, and other electronics are fighting for space. Taking up a big part of this valuable real estate are the camerasjust about every gadget needs a camera, or two, three, or more. And the most space-consuming part of the camera is the lens.
The lenses in our mobile devices typically collect and direct incoming light by refraction, using a curve in a transparent material, usually plastic, to bend the rays. So these lenses cant shrink much more than they already have: To make a camera small, the lens must have a short focal length; but the shorter the focal length, the greater the curvature and therefore the thickness at the center. These highly curved lenses also suffer from all sorts of aberrations, so camera-module manufacturers use multiple lenses to compensate, adding to the cameras bulk.
With todays lenses, the size of the camera and image quality are pulling in different directions. The only way to make lenses smaller and better is to replace refractive lenses with a different technology.
That technology exists. Its the metalens, a device developed at Harvard and commercialized at Metalenz, where I am an applications engineer. We create these devices using traditional semiconductor-processing techniques to build nanostructures onto a flat surface. These nanostructures use a phenomenon called metasurface optics to direct and focus light. These lenses can be extremely thina few hundred micrometers thick, about twice the thickness of a human hair. And we can combine the functionality of multiple curved lenses into just one of our devices, further addressing the space crunch and opening up the possibility of new uses for cameras in mobile devices.
Centuries of lens alternatives
Before I tell you how the metalens evolved and how it works, consider a few previous efforts to replace the traditional curved lens.
Conceptually, any device that manipulates light does so by altering its three fundamental properties: phase, polarization, and intensity. The idea that any wave or wave field can be deconstructed down to these properties was proposed by Christiaan Huygens in 1678 and is a guiding principle in all of optics.

Intel Suggests Dropping Everything But 64-Bit From X86 With Its X86-S Proposal Hackaday
In a move that has a significant part of the internet flashing back to the innocent days of 2001 when Intel launched its Itanium architecture as a replacement for the then 32-bit only x86 architecture before it getting bludgeoned by AMDs competing x86_64 architecture Intel has now released a whitepaper with associated X86-S specification that seeks to probe the communitys thoughts on it essentially removing all pre-x86_64 features out of x86 CPUs.
While today you can essentially still install your copy of MSDOS 6.11 on a brand-new Intel Core i7 system, with some caveats, its undeniable that to most users of PCs the removal of 16 and 32-bit mode would likely go by unnoticed, as well as the suggested removal of rings 1 and 2, as well as range of other low-level (I/O) features. Rather than the boot process going from real-mode 16-bit to protected mode, and from 32- to 64-bit mode, the system would boot straight into the 64-bit mode which Intel figures is what everyone uses anyway.
Where things get a bit hazy is that on this theoretical X86-S you cannot just install and boot your current 64-bit operating systems, as they have no concept of this new boot procedure, or the other low-level features that got dropped. This is whe...

Who Is Going to Regulate AI? Lifeboat News: The Blog
Summary.
As businesses and governments race to make sense of the impacts of new, powerful AI systems, governments around the world are jostling to take the lead on regulation. Business leaders should be focused on who is likely to win this race, moreso than the questions of how or even when AI will be regulated. Whether Congress, the European Commission, China, or even U.S. states or courts take the lead will determine both the speed and trajectory of AIs transformation of the global economy, potentially protecting some industries or limiting the ability of all companies to use the technology to interact directly with consumers.

Dark Web ChatGPT Unleashed: Meet DarkBERT SoylentNews
A language model trained on the fringes of the dark web... for science:
We're still early in the snowball effect unleashed by the release of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT into the wild. Paired with the open-sourcing of other GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) models, the number of applications employing AI is exploding; and as we know, ChatGPT itself can be used to create highly advanced malware.
As time passes, applied LLMs will only increase, each specializing in their own area, trained on carefully curated data for a specific purpose. And one such application just dropped, one that was trained on data from the dark web itself. DarkBERT, as its South Korean creators called it, has arrived follow that link for the release paper, which gives an overall introduction to the dark web itself.
DarkBERT is based on the RoBERTa architecture, an AI approach developed back in 2019. It has seen a renaissance of sorts, with researchers discovering it actually had more performance to give than could be extracted from it in 2019. It seems the model was severely undertrained when released, far below its maximum efficiency.

Mr. Thomas Woodruffs Francis Rothbart!: Not Really a Review Random Thoughts
I was idly browsing twitter when I saw the news that Thomas Woodruffs comic book had been nominated for four (!) Eisner awards, and my first thought was man, the public relations dept at Fantagraphics have really done their jobs here presumably by sending copies of the book to all the Eisner judges, but I see now that that wouldnt be that expensive:
The 2023 Eisner Awards judging panel consists of librarian Moni Barrette, educator/collector Peter Jones, retailer Jen King, journalist Sean Kleefeld, scholar/comics creator A. David Lewis, and comics instructor/curator TJ Shevlin.
Because the book is shit. I mean, its really awful. I guess you could make a case for its so transgressive, dude, but its really just shitty and a waste of time. My main reaction when I read it was dude, are you OK?
Which made me read some of the reactions to the announcement and boy, some of Woodruffs previous students at the SVA piped up:

Bet365 is one of the leading bookmakers in the sector for its sports betting offer, which of course includes eSports. No, bet365 is not a betting site that offers free bets as a bonus to customers. Check the entire list of payment methods on the site to see which ones are available in your specific region or country. Additionally, you should keep in mind that payment method exclusions apply to some of the aforementioned offers. Bingo can be quite interesting to play, and sometimes it is even more appealing than other casino games.

Given this, one can notice this section is somewhat under-represented as compared with video pokies. The fact of having a license implies that the house must follow the New Zealand legislation and consequently also the dollarpea. This means that the house must keep the clients money safely and also make sure that it acts in accordance with the privacy law. Without a doubt, a New Zealand license gives us the maximum confidence to place bets with a company. From there, we just have to look at which of the companies that comply with the regulations, is the most convenient for our interests. Whenever someone has to deposit or send their money online, doubts arise about the reliability of the company that will handle it.

Already with a Spanish-speaking customer service team in place, due to their presence in other Latin American countries, any problems that arise can be dealt with efficiently. However, for those unfamiliar with the history or the connection, the gambling firm is based in Stoke and has close connections with the football club. You are reading more into this than required therefore deviating along the wrong road.

Study Finds 90% of Australian Teachers Can't Afford to Live Where They Teach SoylentNews
Study finds 90% of Australian teachers can't afford to live where they teach:
The teaching profession is already struggling with shortages and a lack of new candidates in a situation widely regarded as a crisis. Now, research warns that teachers are being priced out of housing near their schools, with many areas even too expensive for educators at the top of the pay scale.
The study, published recently in The Australian Educational Researcher analyzed quarterly house sales and rental reports in New South Wales (NSW) and found more than 90% of teaching positions across the statearound 50,000 full-time rolesare located in Local Government Areas (LGAs) where housing is unaffordable on a teacher's salary.
The situation is particularly dire for new teachers. There are 675 schoolsnearly 23,000 full-time teaching positionswhere the median rent for a one-bedroom place is unaffordable on a graduate teacher's salary.
Housing is considered unaffordable if a person spends more than 30% of their income on housing costssometimes called being in housing stress. Those in housing stress may not have enough money remaining to cover the cost of food, clothing, and other essentials.
But affordability isn't just an issue for early career teachers. For experienced educators at the top of the pay scale, 70 schoolsabout 2,000 full-time rolesare in an LGA where a single-bedroom dwelling is also unaffordable.
"The study shows the last time a first-year teacher salary could comfortably afford the rent for a one-bedroom dwelling was around a decade ago," says Professor Scott Eacott, the author of the study and Deputy Director of the Gonski Institute for Education at UNSW Arts, Design & Architecture.

Summary: Sirius Open Source stole money from its own staff and British police isnt doing anything on the matter (despite all the evidence being complete and unambiguous), so one is left with the impression that British businesses can basically get away with serious crimes, even against their own workers
TODAY I opened my E-mail client and I was greeted by a message or presented with a rather familiar message, which at first I thought was sent in error or perhaps wrongly dated because it closely resembled something that I had already received a month ago. As it turns out, Action Fraud operates a bit like a bot; instead of treating crime reports like reports of a crime (fraud) they seem to be treating them a bit like statistics and nothing suggests theyve even looked into the report. They just waited a month before issuing a template response, basically telling something that cannot be true, as the video above explains. The troubling thing is, this signals to anyone in the UK (employers in particular) that pension fraud or embezzlement is OK because law enforcement agencies wont even bother looking into complaints, even when the multiple UK victims and multiple UK perpetrator are all in the UK (no need to cooperate or work with entities outside the country).
I was going to phone Monday (after the Friday call fell on deaf ears*) but sent on the weekend both outside working days and outside working hours was a seemingly automated message. Despite all evidence provided, theres nothing to suggest anyone even looked into it and the message was almost identical to the first, hence akin to an automated reply, timed for 28 days after the report got filed. This is quite likely a very common modus operandi, basically programmed and wired into the system. This sort of gaslighting will shatter faith in the system of justice and accountability nationwide.

A Look Back at Computer Displays Hackaday
These days, our video cards are actually as powerful as yesterdays supercomputer and our monitors are bigger than the TVs most of us had as kids. But how did we get there? [RetroBytes] covers computer displays starting with the Colossus computer to today.
Back in the days of Colossus, of course, a display was actually a TeleType-like device printing on a roll of paper. The Manchester Baby actually had a crude display which was actually a Williams tube (no relation) that used phosphor persistence to store data. You could physically see memory on the tube or monitor it on a parallel tube an early form of memory-mapped display.
Early commercial computing used cards and often used a typewriter-like device as a console. Timesharing allowed people to use computers directly and drove innovation in user interface technology. Of course, displays didnt start out like the ones we use today. [RetroBytes] shows an old video game that uses vector display technology which was a common way screens worked on early computers. Essentially, the device was an XY oscilloscope driven by the computer.
TeleTypes gave way to glass TeleTypes or terminals. Power supplies and CRTs made these heavy, but they were the users window into the computer. Of course, eventually, the terminal would become the computer.
The video ends at the terminal. Of course, today, not only is the terminal the computer...

Easy Graphene Production with a Laser Engraver Hackaday
Graphene isnt easy to produce at scale. But making small batches of graphene is doable in a few ways. [Robert Murray-Smith] decided to try producing flash graphene. This requires a big capacitor bank that is moderately expensive, so he decided to explain a different technique he read about using an ordinary laser cutter. Check it out in the video below.
We were a little disappointed that he didnt actually make any graphene this time. He has, however, used other methods in other videos to create some type of graphene. In fact, he has many similar videos going back quite a ways as well as applications with concrete, capacitors, and more. We understand that this method doesnt produce monolayer graphene, but actually creates a graphene foam with interesting properties. [Robert] talks about recent papers that show you can grow graphene on things other than Kapton tape using this method.

First Full-sized 3D Scan of the Wreck of the Titanic SoylentNews
Deep sea researchers have used two submersibles to make the first full, 3-dimensional scan of the wreck of the sunken passenger ship, The Titanic, including much of the 3-mile long debris field. This is a major step forward in evidence-based analysis of the wreck from over a hundred years ago.
The new scan was "devoid of that," he said, adding, "It is completely based on data and not human interpretation and that is why we are now seeing it in its larger context for the first time ever."
Atlantic Productions said "one major area of deterioration" had already been observed in the officers' quarters. "This included the room of Captain Edward John Smith and discovered that the iconic captain's bathtub has now disappeared from view," it added.
"Now we're getting objective, so we can get really serious with the science of understanding the wreck," Stephenson said.
He added that he was "absolutely convinced," that the photogrammetry model would now be used "not just for Titanic, but for all underwater exploration," because it "ushers in a new phase of exploration and analysis."
Much of the wreck lies in two main pieces, far apart from each other, at a depth of about 4,000 meters. Around 700k images where taken and stitched together to created the model.

THOR Microwaves Drone Swarms Hackaday
In recent years small drones have gone from being toys and photography tools to a deadly threat on the battlefield. Kamikaze drones have become especially prominent in the news due to their use in the war in Ukraine by both sides. While we havent seen coordinated swarms being actively employed on the modern battlefield, its likely only a matter of time, making drone swarm defense an active field of development in the industry.
The US Air Force Research Laboratory recently conducted tests and a demonstration of an anti-drone weapon that uses pulses of high-power microwave energy to fry the electronics of a swarm of drones. Named the Tactical High-power Operational Responder, or THOR (presumably they picked the acronym first), its housed in a 20ft shipping container with large microwave antenna on top. The form factor is important because a weapon is only useful if it can reach the battlefield, and this can fit in the back of a C130.
THOR likely functions similarly to a shotgun, with a relatively large effective beam. This would have added advantages like frying multiple drones with one pulse and not needing pinpoint tracking and aiming tech required for projectile and...

Microsoft Layoffs Continue: Workers Given Notice on Friday of Long (Holiday) Weekend, This Time Nuance Techrights
Didnt Microsoft say repeatedly and insist that chatbots are the future? The layoffs pattern does not match the hype pattern.
Summary: Published earlier today was this sole report (its weekend and reporters are away, some on holiday); talk about bad timing to announce layoffs unless the whole point is brushing the news under a rug (there were also loads of Microsoft layoffs last week, but the media barely mentioned this; Microsoft changed the subject to salaries)
Text behind the paywall: (the only publicly available information at this point)
Nuance Communications, the speech-to-text pioneer bought by Microsoft last year, is cutting jobs as it focuses more narrowly on the health care market.
Employees at Burlington-based Nuance received an e-mail on Friday from chief executive Mark Benjamin notifying them of the cutbacks as part of the continued integration with Microsoft, which paid nearly $20 billion for the company.
We continue to see macroeconomic pressures affect our industries, as well as market shifts that are evolving our customers needs, Benjamin wrote in the e-mail, which was obtained by the Globe. It is critically important that we maintain our ability to make key investments in our businesses so that we can deliver on our current plans and are able to capitalize on the future opportunities we have ahead of us. In order to do this, we made the difficult decision this week to eliminate some positions across the company.
Benjamin did not detail the scope of the layoffs at Nuance, which had about 7,000 employees when the Microsoft deal was announced in 2021. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday.
Nuance has a long and winding history in developing image-processing and speech-recognition software and applications. The company started in 1994 as a spinoff from SRI Internationa...

Obstetricians More Emotionally Stable Than Most SoylentNews
Personality is usually summarized in five traits - the so-called "big five": Emotional stability (neuroticism), extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. Our personality then shapes our decision-making style. In a research study from Lund University, Swedish obstetricians' and gynecologists' personality profiles and clinical experience are linked for the first time to their decision-making styles in acute childbirth situations.
"Obstetricians and gynecologists have a personality profile that differs significantly from the population at large. On average, 85 percent of Sweden's population has significantly lower emotional stability, extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness than the obstetricians in our study. It's hard not to be surprised when the differences are so clear", says Petri Kajonius, associate professor of personality psychology and behavioral measurement at Lund University.
It is our personality that defines what we will enjoy in our professional life, and the consequence is likely a self-selection of people who seek a certain profession. Swedish obstetric-focused physicians' personalities make them comfortable in an environment where a childbirth situation can quickly shift to something acute and potentially escalate into a crisis. Here, traits such as emotional stability and conscientiousness are prominent.

ESPClicker An Elegant Solution for Integrating Dumb Devices into Home Assistant Hackaday
Integrating non-smart devices into your home automation system can be a cumbersome process, involving the wiring of multiple modules. However, [Pricelesstoolkit] has created the ESPClicker a compact, ESP8266-based module that can remotely press buttons and simplify this process.
The ESPClickers core feature is its three relays that can be soldered to the button terminals of any existing dumb device, as [Pricelesstoolkit] demonstrated with his coffee machine in the video after the break. One of the relays can also be configured in the normally closed configuration. A compact twelve pin connector provides a removable wiring interface for the buttons, additional relays, power and even a contactless power detector that can be wrapped around an AC wire.
The module is open source, with all the source files available on Github. It is intended for interfacing to Home Assistant through ESPHome providing a convenient way of programming and updating the module.

Op-Amp Challenge: MOSFETs Make This Discrete Op Amp Tick Hackaday
When it comes to our analog designs, op-amps tend to be just another jellybean part. We tend to spec whatever does the job, and dont give much of a thought as to the internals. And while it doesnt make much sense to roll your own op-amp out of discrete components, that doesnt mean there isnt plenty to be learned from doing just that.
While were more accustomed to seeing [Mitsuru Yamada]s digital projects, hes no stranger to the analog world. In fact, this project is a follow-on to his previous bipolar transistor op-amp, which we featured back in 2021. This design features MOSFETs rather than BJTs, but retains the same basic five-transistor topology as the previous work, with a differential pair input stage, a gain stage, and a buffer stage. Even the construction of the module is similar, using his trademark perfboard and ultra-tidy wiring.
Also new is a flexible evaluation unit for these discrete op-amp modules. This very sturdy-looking circuit provides an easy way t...

Intel Shows New Stacked CFET Transistor Design at ITF World SoylentNews
Intel Shows New Stacked CFET Transistor Design At ITF World:
At ITF World 2023, Ann Kelleher, Intel's Technology Development GM, presented an outline of Intel's latest developments in several key areas, and one of the most interesting revelations was that Intel would embrace stacked CFET transistors in the future. This marks the first time that Intel has shown this new type of transistor in its presentations, but Kelleher didn't provide a date or firm timeline for production.
[In the added around the new type of transistor. The first two transistor types at the bottom of the slide are older variants, while the '2024' entry represents Intel's new RibbonFET transistors that we've covered extensively in the past. Intel's first-gen design with the 'Intel 20A' process node features four stacked nanosheets, each surrounded entirely by a gate. Kelleher says this design remains on track to debut in 2024. RibbonFET uses a gate-all-around (GAA) design, which confers both transistor density and performance improvements like faster transistor switching while using the same drive current as multiple fins, but in a smaller area.
Kelleher's slide also shows the next generation of Intel's GAA design the stacked CFET. The Complementary FET (CFET) transistor design has been on imec's roadmaps for some time, but we haven't yet seen it on an Intel slide or heard the company state that it plans to adopt this design. As a reminder, the imec research institute studies future technologies and collaborates with the industry to bring them to fruition.
Naturally, there is some variation between Intel's stylized render and the imec CFET render we've included in the first image of the album above, but Intel's image conveys the point well this design allows the company to stack eight nanosheets, a doubling of the four used with RibbonFET, thus increasing transistor density. We also have images of the three other types of Intel transistors in the album above Planar FET, FinFET, and RibbonFET.

Popular Pirate Bay Proxy Site Disappears From GitHub TorrentFreak
As one of the most notorious torrent sites, The Pirate Bay
has been blocked by ISPs around the world.
In response to these digital roadblocks, several proxy sites have sprung up to bypass these restrictions. Besides that, there are dedicated sites that help people to find these backdoors.
The Proxy Bay
The Proxy Bay has long been one of the leading information portals. The site didnt offer an official proxy itself but provided an overview of available options. As such, it proved to be quite useful in countries where site blockades are active.
In the UK, for example, where TPB has been blocked for over a decade, the site was particularly popular.
Since the blocking orders often allow rightsholders to add newly appearing proxies, this has turned into a game of whack-a-mole. When proxies are blocked, new domains are launched, which are then picked up by pirates through information portals such as The Proxy Bay.
GitHub Takedown Saga
This routine has been a major source of frustration for rightsholders. It reached the point where some of these linking sites were banned, and when City of London Police got involved in the matter earlier this year, it was clear that things were getting more serious.
Its quite something when the police actively get involved in a copyright matter. In this case, it was particularly salient since The Proxy Bay was hosted at GitHub.
The developer platform swiftly complied with the takedown request, which wasnt unexpected. However, after someone representing the proxy information site sent a counter notice, the domain was restored.

An erasure FEC for SSDV Daniel Estvez
SSDV is an amateur radio protocol that is used to transmit images in packets, in a way that is tolerant to packet loss. It is based on JPEG, but unlike a regular JPEG file, where losing even a small part of the file has catastrophic results, in SSDV different blocks of the image are compressed independently. This means that packet loss affects only the corresponding blocks, and the image can still be decoded and displayed, albeit with some missing blocks.
SSDV was originally designed for transmission from high-altitude balloons (see this reference for more information), but it has also been used for some satellite missions, including Longjiang-2, a Chinese lunar orbiting satellite.
Even though SSDV is tolerant to packet loss, to obtain the full image it is necessary to receive all the packets that form the image. If some packets are lost, then it is necessary to retransmit them. Here I present an erasure FEC scheme that is backwards-compatible with SSDV, in the sense that the first packets transmitted by this scheme are identical to the usual \(k\) packets of standard SSDV, and augments the transmission with FEC packets in such a way that the complete image can be recovered from any set of \(k\) packets (so there is no encoding overhead). The FEC packets work as a fountain code, since it is possible to generate up to \(2^{16}\) packets, which is a limit unlikely to be reached in practice.
Motivation and intended applications
The main motivation for this FEC scheme comes from the Longjiang-2 mission. This satellite, also known as DSLWP-B, carried a small camera and transmitted the images from the camera on demand by telecommand using SSDV. The downlink bitrate was usually 125 bps, so transmitting a single image would take around 20 or 30 minutes. It was not uncommon to miss a few of the SSDV packets. Even if the SNR was quite good when the 25 meter radiotelescope at Dwingeloo was used to receive the downlink, there could be occasional problems such as frequency jumps in the on-board TCXO.
In some cases, the missing pieces of the image corresponded to empty parts of the sky that were known to be completely black. In other cases, the missing parts were interesting, so we attempted to receive the complete image by commanding the spacecraft to transmit the missing packets again, before new images were taken that would overwrite the image in the on-board memory. There were two possible ways of doing this. It was possible to send a telecommand that would start the SSDV transmissio...
