Why was there a prize attached to this problem then? What does humanity get out of this being proved?

I use a Behringer X32 rack with a couple digital snakes to route audio between 20 or so radios, software defined receivers, online broadcasts and other audio sources, and it's one of the most powerful pieces of technology in my lab&#x2

I agree. If this was Oracle I might not have too difficult of a time believing this is all of the story. But I do think in this case there is more to the story.

Or, you need to spend a lot of resources to do the attack even if it's the case that you get that money back when you succeed. There is a word for this. We call it risk.

Between this and Hertz's new AI damage detection models, we're seeing the enshitification of business travel reaching a new level, and also doing a great job of really ticking off a group of customers (business travelers) who are

BNSF railroad also has an extensive meteor scatter radio system across north america that is similar to SNOtel.

CEOs are more like high ranking general officers, not O-6 level (Navy Captain, Army/Air force full bird colonel) O-5 (Lt Col, Navy Commander) would be VP / GM level stuff, GS-13 through GS-14 in the federal government O-6 equivale

The pay scale isn't really equivalent. For military doctors and dentists the typical lure is they will pay off all your student loans for a specific time commitment to the military.

RTL-SDRs have a typical usable bandwidth only about 2 MHz, so that is going to rule them out of any real usable LTE related decoding and detection

Some of this obscure test equipment is very interesting and amazingly designed. There are probably only a few electrical engineers in the entire world that actually use this stuff on a day to day basis.

Returning the OTP in the request API response is wild. Like why?

Eh, I've got 13 years to deal with this. No big deal. The best thing about waiting until the last minute to fix something is it will only take a minute.

This guy's writing style makes him a worldwide treasure, and probably inspired a few young chemists. I'll always read and re-read his blog posts when they are posted here.

If there is one thing I've learned in the past few days, acutely so, is that the vast majority of people do not understand the sheer complexity of what it takes to have an aviation industry.

It’s literally a race to the bottom by “theft of data” Whatever that means. The legal system right now in shambles and flat footed. Knowing our current government leadership, I think we’re going to see some brute force action backed up by t

It’s funny, the Chinese are here innovating on AI, batteries, and fusion, and here in the United States we’ve pivoted to shitcoins and universal tariffs. At least we have the CyberTruck to highlight American greatness
