The author faced a difficult issue with an application not shutting down correctly due to segfaults or termination without exceptions. This article addresses this issue by adding runtime instrumentation from gcc to log destructors. With example code and setup instructions, it helped identify leftover code from a closed-source framework causing the shutdown problem. The author […]

In this paper, researchers focus on developing a secure steganography technique called Pulsar for diffusion models, commonly used in high-quality image synthesis. They highlight the limitations of text-based generative models in supporting steganography and propose using variance noise during image generation as a steganographic channel. The Pulsar construction allows for embedding approximately 320-613 bytes of […]
Quantum entanglement is a mind-bending phenomenon in quantum physics where the state of one particle is tied to another, no matter the distance. Recently, the ATLAS collaboration observed quantum entanglement between top quarks at the highest energies ever seen at the Large Hadron Collider. This groundbreaking discovery, also confirmed by the CMS collaboration, opens new […]
Infineon’s new PASCO2V15 sensor, based on photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), offers highly accurate carbon dioxide detection in building environments to improve air quality. The sensor architecture minimizes the need for optical components, enhancing stability and reducing size. It features pressure compensation capabilities, automatic baseline offset correction, and forced compensation for recalibration. The sensor operates on 5 […]
Particles are the foundation of everything in the universe but, surprisingly, their true nature remains a mystery. Physicists have diverse and conflicting descriptions of particles, highlighting the complicated and abstract nature of these fundamental building blocks. Whether a collapsed wave function, a quantum excitation of a field, or an irreducible representation of a group, the […]
Nicolas P. Rougier’s web content discusses the vast landscape of scientific visualization tools in Python, highlighting Matplotlib as a versatile and powerful library suitable for various applications. The book is organized into four parts covering fundamental principles, figure design, advanced concepts like 3D figures and optimization, and showcases. The book is available for free on […]
In 1985, brothers Dene and Simon Carter embarked on a quest to create a fantasy role-playing game unlike anything the gaming world had ever seen. Years later, their dream became a reality with the release of Fable in 2004. While the game fell short of its lofty promises, it introduced groundbreaking ideas that influenced future […]
The post delves into the history of Japanese computer platforms that never made it outside of Japan, focusing on NEC’s PC-98, Fujitsu’s FM Towns, and Sharp’s X68000. It explores how these platforms faded into obscurity as Windows became the dominant OS, offering compatibility and wider software options. Multitasking emerged as a key feature driving market […]
The author describes their development process as a mix of trial and error, comparing it to woodworking. They explain how they click around extensively to test their software, similar to a QA tactic. They highlight the use of flexbox in CSS to easily style radio options, expressing surprise at its simplicity compared to older methods. […]
The author of this content is expressing concern over a video clip that features his voice without his consent, from a channel called Elecrow. He suspects that his voice was fed into an AI voice clone tool to create promotional tutorials. The author is frustrated by the lack of legal precedent for unauthorized AI voice […]
