China issues warrants for alleged Taiwanese hackers and bans a business for pro-independence links
China has issued warrants Thursday for 20 Taiwanese people it said carried out hacking missions in the Chinese mainland on behalf of Taiwan’s ruling party, while separately banning dealings with a Taiwanese company whose owners mainland authorities called “hardcore Taiwan independence supporters.” Police in the southern manufacturing hub of Guangzhou said they were led by a man named Ning Enwei on behalf of Taiwan’s independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party but did not identify …

"Strada is seeking to use state housing laws that will both streamline approvals for the development and allow for denser construction — in exchange for the inclusion of affordable units.""
Yes, inclusion of affordable units at a lower rate than San Francisco's existing inclusionary requirements, and well below the level of induced demand per SF Planning's Residential Nexus studies. In other words, it creates even more stress in the affordable housing segment.…

The Rise of ‘Vibe Hacking’ Is the Next AI Nightmare
In the very near future, victory will belong to the savvy blackhat hacker who uses AI to generate code at scale.

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???

Yesterday I finally wrote the blog post for the bike and hike recently.
For me it was pretty tough as it was constant incline of around 1000m over around 12km with just one short exception.
The view here is from the summit down to the "plain" where we left the bikes for the final climb.

Dirty Black Holes, Clean Signals: Near-Horizon vs. Environmental Effects on Grey-Body Factors and Hawking Radiation
Grey-body factors are not only essential ingredients for computing the intensity of Hawking radiation, but also serve as characteristics of black hole's geometry that are closely related to their quasinormal modes. Importantly, they tend to be more stable under small deformations of the background spacetime. In this work, we carry out a detailed analysis of grey-body factors and Hawking radiation for a spherically symmetric black hole subject to localized deformations which do not alter the Haw…
