I don’t know if you remember but we met at cfgmgmtcamp in 2016.

We weren’t even in the same circles and this was my first good conference, but my own little company that I worked at was full of motivated hackers that were trying to wrap our heads around what you already understood.

You took my comments about on-boarding and documentation very humbly and you knew what I was really saying was: keep it up.

You sure did keep it up.

Those same team mates are here with me using TF at a different company years later, and we’re still pushing left.

Those colleagues just said “it’s art and science”

… and when the art gets ripped away from you, what you described is a natural reaction.

Still, keep it up.


“My wife and I met on okcupid”

… 11 years going for me. Good on you. I don’t have any other social media accounts. I’ll do my best to join up on this one. Wholesome.

If you want to try to read ASM at speed, please let me know how it goes.

That’s not a dig at you. That’s the real reduction of your question imho. It’s a good question.


true, yeah thats right, But my larger point is we are operating many levels above than we can with JS. Like C, C++/Rust is the closest as LLMs would be trained on that.

I just threw the extreme point on the curve, to see where we can land on.


Obligatory reference to PIPEDA and GDPR.

Edit: not a low effort comment. This is something you should all read and demand the same of. I consternated on how not to call your regime moronic. It _is_ moronic that you don’t have these basic protections and we keep having to listen to you all whine about that.

Certainly one of my favourite designers! Been on four of the trains he designed. Always a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.


If anyone else has gone down this road, let’s talk.


There’s lots of YouTube videos about this but basically: you can specify routing.


I’ve been wondering this for a while and maybe someone has a clue.

Based on the very “bursty” nature of LoRA, how much does an adversary need to spend to radiolocate it? What’s the threat model there?


$20? These networks do not try to hide your location and triangulating known frequencies is trivial.


How trivial is it, really? These are spread spectrum devices that could have very sparse duty cycles. If you sending only millisecond bursts a couple of times an hour, for telemetry and whatnot, it would seem pretty hard to get a good fix, especially when moving. I haven't analyzed lora traffic, so just talking out of my ass.


LoRa uses chirping which are much longer than milliseconds. You can clearly see them in a spectrum display. It's a very slow protocol. Not as slow as WISPR or JT8 but still slow. The flip side is that it's robust (the chirping provides a lot of interference protection against fixed-frequency interference for example)


With a couple of GPS-synchronized receivers stationed in an area, child's play. LoRA airtime is extraordinarily long for common spreading factors.


Sdrs are super cheap these days. It wouldn't be hard.

Note: did things in .mil


You could get a rough location for free. Every time you send a message, “observer” nodes connected to the internet publish the packet, and in the packet is the repeater path taken, repeaters have known locations and the first repeater is going to be near you.


If its meshtastic, just keep sending traceroutes until you triangulate the node.


If the system eats its own analysts, the doctrine question becomes moot.


Implanted ESP32 powered by some body mod with connects to some innocuous looking piercing?

(I agree this is all ridiculous from all sides. Might as well join the circus with a cheap comment.)
