Seriously, linkedin spammers?
You say you came across my REcon talk. About semiconductor reverse engineering.
And this somehow makes me a good candidate for a role involving cheating at online poker???

What kind of USB is that middle port?

Half-life determination of heavy ions in a storage ring considering feeding and depleting background processes
Heavy-ion storage rings have relatively large momentum acceptance which allows for multiple ion species to circulate at the same time. This needs to be considered in radioactive decay measurements of highly charged ions, where atomic charge exchange reactions can significantly alter the intensities of parent and daughter ions. In this study, we investigate this effect using the decay curves of ion numbers in the recent $^{205}$Tl$^{81+}$ bound-state beta decay experiment conducted using the Exp…

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Justice Department to tell her more
about a deal struck between the Trump administration and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador
to imprison immigrants deported from the United States in a Salvadoran maximum-security facility
in exchange for the return of top leaders of the MS-13 gang who are in U.S. custody.
The order by the judge, Joan M. Azrack,
came as she was considering a request by federal prosecutors on Long Island…

Judge Demands Answers About Deal to Return MS-13 Gang Leaders to El Salvador
Federal prosecutors are seeking to drop narco-terrorism charges against a man they have alleged is one of the gang’s leaders.

I'm at best a combat C programmer so this latest zmap fix may be perfectly reasonable.

Is it common, and is it a best practice to not free memory allocated in some use cases? That may be two separation questions.
I have always freed memory allo…

Weather report for Garðabær, Iceland, May 9 2025: 1 deg C, winds gusting to 6 m/s and snowing.

Show maravilhoso. Pena que é só šudio. O saxofonista é muito bom, suspeito que seja o Mšrio Seve. Bandolinista muito bom também.
Wonderful concert. I wish it had video. Great #sax player. Mšrio Seve, maybe? Great #mandolin too. And Paulinho.

Quantum Aspects of Natural Top Quark Condensation
In top quark condensation the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) boson is a $\bar{t}t$ bound state. With a UV completion of a single coloron exchange interaction, a recent semiclassical treatment gave a novel theory of the BEH boson as an extended object with composite scale $M_0\sim 6$ TeV. Presently we obtain the semiclassical theory as an effective action, using the source/Legendre transformation techniques of Jackiw, \etal, and fermion loop effects in the large-$N_c$ limit by deploying an auxiliary …

Investigation of competing magnetic orders and the associated spin-phonon coupling effect in quasi-2D Cr1+xTe2 (x = 0.22) single crystal
Single crystals of quasi-2D chromium telluride system represented by Cr1+xTe2 (x = 0.22), which crystallizes in the trigonal structure with the c-axis as the growth direction, are synthesized by the flux method. The magnetization measurements revealed the coexistence and competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions due to the presence of the intercalated Cr-layers. A series of diverse magnetic transitions is exhibited by the crystal. While cooling the crystal, i…
