Crude AM detector demodulates 1kHz signal (blue) from 1MHz carrier (yellow). The output is not great quality, but the circuit is so basic I'm surprised it works. One diode, one resistor, and two capacitors. Similar to the early crystal radio sets, where the crystal served as a the diode.

The Turn to Practice in Design Ethics: Characteristics and Future Research Directions for HCI Research
As emerging technologies continue to shape society, there is a growing emphasis on the need to engage with design ethics as it unfolds in practice to better capture the complexities of ethical considerations embedded in day-to-day work. Positioned within the broader "turn to practice" in HCI, the review characterizes this body of work in terms of its motivations, conceptual frameworks, methodologies, and contributions across a range of design disciplines and academic databases. The findings rev…

Was reminded of this band and album today, I was OBSESSED with this as a kid, it came out when I was 15. And it still holds up. Who remembers song/video 'Weird Out' by Philadelphia's DANDELION, from their 1995 record Dyslexicon? Whole album is a banger.

A Private Smart Wallet with Probabilistic Compliance
We propose a privacy-preserving smart wallet with a novel invitation-based private onboarding mechanism. The solution integrates two levels of compliance in concert with an authority party: a proof of innocence mechanism and an ancestral commitment tracking system using bloom filters for probabilistic UTXO chain states. Performance analysis demonstrates practical efficiency: private transfers with compliance checks complete within seconds on a consumer-grade laptop, and overall with proof gener…
