Northeastern graduates assemble!

Refilling the SPR would’ve required finding money to actually buy some oil. Put simply the SPR is broke/in debt. Over the last few years congress passed pieces of legislation (infr…

Tesla drivers generally use the phone key, which generally comes with its own set of privacy concerns. I’d also be surprised if the car didn’t use the phone key connection to trick…

As a tech literate customer, my willingness to entertain AI chatbot decision trees is rock bottom. I have no patience to try to find the correct incantation to actually fix somethi…

I spent an entire month trying to build something with Reticulum, but there just isn’t great tooling for dealing with the protocol. Makes for a pretty infuriating devex if you’re j…

I would absolutely love to read something about that - thanks for putting in the work and sharing it. I have a buddy working on restoring a set of binoculars that were attached to …

I’ve heard rumors that DNS records are also sometimes used in some steganography-type communications. Great way of passing small messages in a ubiquitous and innocuous system, unli…

Cloudflare has excellent (human) technical writers. I don’t see any indication this is “slop”, it’s the standard in-the-weeds but understandable blog post they’ve been doing for ye…

I was using this as a demo project for playing around with code generation tools, so it’s really not in a great state and entirely AI written, but I can share a link here when I ge…

Reticulum is a full replacement networking stack for several layers of the OSI stack, so not directly comparable. The LXMF messaging protocol (built on top of reticulum) is nice as…

> We add noise to their data It’s interesting that Apple is going down a similar path with hardware filtering location retrieval commands and neighborhood-level blurring on their C…

The ATProto underlying BlueSky social network is similar. It uses a content-addressed DAG. Each “post” has a CID, which is a cryptographic hash of the data. To “prove” ownership of…

Commonwealth fusion is theoretically pretty close with their high temp superconductors. Far from a slam dunk, but I don’t think we’re as far from net gain as we were 10 years ago.

The replies also make it clear the sycophancy of LLM chatbots is still alive and well. All of the replies I saw were falling over themselves to praise OP. Not a single one gave an …

The plaintext TSS/ECID and the plaintext OCSP issues have been fixed, which IMO were the only meaningful security gripes of the article. The iMessage/ADP/Metadata stuff I think is …

Just curious - how much of this was AI generated? The readme has crazy emojis & the code was all checked in at once, which is usually my telltale for these kinds of things. Didn't …
