Eyewitnesses say Iranian government forces have begun opening fire,
apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately,
on unarmed protesters.
Hospital workers say protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now arrive with gunshot wounds and skull fractures.
One doctor called it a “mass-casualty situation.”
Despite the communications blockade, a recurring image has made its way out of Iran:
rows and rows of body bags.

As many as 3,000 feared dead as witnesses describe government forces firing on unarmed protesters.

Large Language Model-Empowered Channel Prediction and Predictive Beamforming for LEO Satellite Communications
Accurate channel prediction and effective beamforming are essential for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications to enhance system capacity and enable high-speed connectivity. Most existing channel prediction and predictive beamforming methods are limited by model generalization capabilities and struggle to adapt to time-varying wireless propagation environments. Inspired by the remarkable generalization and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), this work proposes an LLM…

People should seriously think about a possible coming marketcrash. The popping of the financial AI bubble will hurt the "normal" economy. Financial markets could take a very big hit. But how do you protect yourself against this coming disaster, as an owner of limited stocks, savings etc.? Going for gold, government bonds, other things? 🤔

Hybrid MAC Protocol with Integrated Multi-Layered Security for Resource-Constrained UAV Swarm Communications
Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) present unique challenges due to high node mobility, dynamic topologies, and strict resource constraints. Existing routing protocols often optimize for a single metric, such as path length or energy, while neglecting the complex dependencies between network performance, security, and MAC layer efficiency. This paper introduces a novel hardware software co design framework for secure and adaptive UAV swarm communications, featuring an energy aware protocol stack. …

Calibrating and testing my shiny new PCIe card ThunderScope prototype.
It's soooo smooth. I'll never get tired of having many-megapoint waveforms refreshing at a steady 60 FPS.

It's been a while since an energy supplier in France offered dynamic prices to households. Since this month, there's a new one.
Sobry doesn't offer smart device control yet, but for most EVs and many heat pumps and A/Cs, device manufacturers or 3rd parties offer tools.

A Dynamic Watermarking Technique for Matching Communication Addresses with Cars in a Visual Field
We consider a problem faced by an intelligent roadside unit (RSU) monitoring a roadway by a video camera. Suppose the RSU notices that a particular car in its visual field needs to execute a specific evasive maneuver to avoid danger. It would like to send a packet addressed to that particular car with this suggestion. The problem is that while all the cars are communicating with the RSU, the RSU does not know which car in the video is associated with what IP address. So, it does not know which …
