Raiders Receive Brutal Reality Check About Chip Kelly
The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense has been awful this 2025 NFL season. While the Silver and Black are middle of the pack in passing yards per game (210.2) and (112.6) per game, this production hasn’t led to points.Despite the offense putting up those respectable numbers, Las Vegas sit in the bottom three regarding points per game this season. Only the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans are averaging less points than the Raiders so far this season heading into Week 6, per ESPN. Geno Smith’…

A tiny side-project that I can hopefully pull through: reverse engineering an audio box for kids that works with proprietary “tokens.” Like a cassette player but rigid af. Use and dispose. #hackerspace #netz39
First stop, getting info about chips and pins. A cheap USB microcontroller it i…

Using a bunch of tools to open a little plastic token that functions as a tape for a "Galakto" audio box. These magnetically attach on top of these little boxes. Very easy to use. This is the setting of a makerspace with iFixit tools and more. Colorful
One side of a small printed circuit. Electronics and pins and an ID to trace the chip. A QR code from production.&10;&10;This is the only chip running the token. It includes tracks and every token has only a small set of songs or stories. On the storage device, there's only a few GB. Yet maybe there's room to load more and different stuff on this 🤫

Single chip 1 Tb/s optical transmitter with inverse designed input and output couplers
Optical interconnects are essential for data centers and AI systems. Given the limited energy production, ultra-low energy and dense optical interconnects are required to support the exponential growth of AI systems. Here we report the demonstration of a monolithically integrated optical transmitter where use of power efficient architecture and devices such as capacitive tuning of optical structures at zero static power consumption and efficient and wideband inverse designed grating couplers en…

A Digital Pheromone-Based Approach for In/Out-of-Control Classification
In complex production lines, it is essential to have strict, fast-acting rules to determine whether the system is In Control (InC) or Out of Control (OutC). This study explores a bio-inspired method that digitally mimics ant colony behavior to classify InC/OutC states and forecast imminent transitions requiring maintenance. A case study on industrial potato chip frying provides the application context. During each two-minute frying cycle, sequences of eight temperature readings are collected. E…

Dutch Ready to Drop Control of Nexperia If Chip Supply Resumes
The Netherlands is prepared to suspend a so-called ministerial order that gave it control over Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia in a move that would de-escalate a fight with Beijing that threatens to disrupt automotive production around the world.
