  • i didn’t knew who exactly does that, but this is entire genre of paper that’s not very useful in practical terms even if it might be slightly interesting. “we found an attack that breaks airgapping!” looks inside: requires compromise in advance. the one i had in mind was about using currents from gpu power supply lines that turns out radiate, depending on power states, and cycling these rapidly allows to exfiltrate information












  • In the 21st century, technology only means information technology; progress in all other fields has halted.

    this is definitely A Take, everything sweaty nazi doesn’t like or care about stops existing. or maybe “progress” for him only means things he can grift on, in conditions when grifting is possible? bubble popping will definitely mean stop to whatever bullshit is going on in vc rollercoaster and that includes him specifically, this of course means that sky has fallen and humanity stopped progressing forever. masters thesis from this year can be easily more insightful and include more new knowledge than phd thesis from, say, 60s. (depends on field of course). together with geometric increase in new phds i guess that progress is, indeed, still happening

    i’ll try to replace “progress” by “cocaine money” from now on in his writing. is he pro-trump because the only thing whose price fell so far is cocaine?

    The world feels stuck. We are running a “red queen’s race”: working harder, running faster, yet standing still. Wages have stagnated, health is plateauing, and optimism is fading.

    yeah, why are wages stagnating, fucker?

    Science once promised radical life extension; today, the closest we come to mastery over death is legalized euthanasia.

    yeah it was called “alchemy” and even the truest believers dropped it when they figured out that mercury pills kill people. also, why would sweaty nazi say this? he bought fully into cryonics grift (and maybe others) and might be the most scared of death man walking the earth. is he trying to pivot to evangelical christianity and hope that everyone will forget how fast he got sweaty when he was asked about luigi?

    Since then, secular apocalyptic fears have multiplied:

    Bioweapons Nuclear war Artificial intelligence Fertility collapse

    Since then, secular apocalyptic fears have multiplied:

    • Imaginary exudate of imaginary robots
    • Something that didn’t happen and won’t because MAD works just as well now as in, say, 70s
    • Imaginary robots
    • Nazi talking point

    I like how there’s no democratic backsliding on that list, or warrantless mass surveillance or climate change with its many downstream effects, like zoonoses, or these fuckers specifically inflating another economic bubble. I guess this must be bringing most progress cocaine money for sweaty nazis, and who i am to stand in its way

    e: also, sweaty nazi cites a russian proponent of global theocracy (dead in 1900), nice touch


  • i guess it only makes sense that rats get wowed by TEMPEST if they all self-taught physics

    ignore for five minutes that it’s one way only, someone has to listen for it specifically, 2.4GHz is way too high frequency to synthetize this way, and in real life it gets defeated by such sophisticated countermeasures like “putting a bunch of computers close together” or “not letting adversary closer than 50m” because it turns out that real DCs are, in fact, noisy enough to not need jammers for this purpose
