TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
A group of hackers has uncovered a vulnerability in Tesla’s software that allows users to unlock software-locked features worth up to $15,000. These features, such as heated seats and Tesla’s Full Self-Driving package, are normally activated by paying or subscribing to a service. Tesla has been at the forefront of offering software-locked features, allowing owners […]

“Magic123” is a groundbreaking solution for generating high-quality, textured 3D meshes from a single unposed image. This innovative approach utilizes both 2D and 3D priors in a two-stage coarse-to-fine process. In the first stage, a neural radiance field is optimized to create a coarse geometry. Then, a memory-efficient differentiable mesh representation is used in the […]
Starting February 1, 2024, there will be a charge of $0.005 per hour for all public IPv4 addresses, regardless of whether they are attached to a service or not. The rising cost of acquiring a single public IPv4 address, which has increased by over 300% in the past 5 years, has led to this change. […]
When using the ping command, you may encounter a “pipe” value in the rtt statistics. To understand its meaning, I delved into the ping source code. The “pipe” number represents the maximum number of echo request packets that were simultaneously sent but not yet answered by an echo reply packet. However, they eventually receive a […]
Nuked-MD-FPGA is a Verilog version of the Nuked MD emulator, with the goal of accurately emulating the Sega Mega Drive chipset. The Mega Drive chipset consists of six integrated circuits and RAM chips, including CPUs, sound processors, and other components. The emulator aims to mimic the various chipsets used in different Mega Drive revisions, with […]
The author is reaching out to individuals involved in drug or medical development who have experienced the FDA’s slow response or perceived vengeance. They emphasize that many people with first-hand knowledge of the FDA’s slowness are afraid to speak out due to concerns about their lives and careers, as well as the FDA’s tendency to […]
Haixin Chang submitted a report discussing experimental findings on the atmospheric superconductivity of a modified lead apatite crystal called LK-99. The original researchers, Sukbae Lee et al., claimed that LK-99 materials exhibited the Meissner levitation phenomenon of superconductors and had a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) higher than 400 K. However, Chang and his team successfully […]
GNU Units is a powerful tool that allows you to convert quantities between different systems of measurement. It can handle various types of conversions, including nonlinear conversions like Fahrenheit to Celsius and wire gauge. In addition to unit conversions, GNU Units can also be used as a scientific calculator that tracks units in its calculations. […]
The network stack is a complex system that performs various tasks to ensure reliable transmission and smooth operation of the internet. It handles addressing of billions of active nodes, routes packets through the network, and reassembles them correctly even if they arrive out of order. The network routing process involves bucket-brigading or passing the data […]
If you’re a nerdy old-timer like me, you might remember hacking in the BASIC computer language during your grade school days. One of the features of this mostly hated language was that each statement required a line number. Surprisingly, you could actually use line numbers to run your program from any random point, similar to […]
