Thinking about decoding some of the more complicated protocols in ngscopeclient more fully on the GPU.
Let's take I2C. for example. I have a 2x 10M point capture coming off my STM32MP2 / Kintex-7 testbed that takes about 188 ms to decode on the Xeon 4310 on my lab workstation (lots of idle time with just a few packets).
The decode can accept either sparse or uniformly sampled data; right now it's getting uniform data at 100 Msps which is overkill but the ThunderScope does…

The Purpose of Protocols

The Purpose of Protocols
Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?

during the #formosa talk at day1 of #realworldcrypto i see they reference signalapp/noise-c using some jade implementation for the pqkem. i wonder why don't the use the formally verified noise-star project instead?

still not sold on having to rely on new protocols (gemini) or very old protocols (gopher) instead of making a wiser use of the ones used at large (http). When the solution is to add more software I’m skeptical by default

As an added bonus, Apple calls the two ports on the left “USB-C” (which is a type of connector) and the two other ports “Thunderbolt 5” (which is a type of interface).
It’s not specified what protocols the USB-C ports support (presumably USB up to USB4 and maybe some alternate modes).

Should we experiment some more with #runtimes and #protocols?
This is deliberately a very general question.
Drop your thoughts in replies, I'd love to exchange!

Inside Netanyahu's Distorted Protocols: Debunking His October 7 Narrative - Israel Security

While listening to discussions about federated systems and protocols at #fosdem (like the one I’m currently using): I realized something.
It recently resonated with me through some past and ongoing projects: when people are afraid of federation, they call it “balkanization” or “fragmentation.”
Sorry for the wording @…

Help! I've been thinking so much about decentralized platforms and open protocols lately that my brain has become completely decentralized itself. 🙃
Time to go touch some grass.

There seems to be a new attempt to turn ActivityPub into some centralized monolithic thing with hard coded limited vocabularies. This is an attempt to have a new central power in social networking via the control of the vocabularies of the exchange protocols.
The argument is the same for the same attempt in the area of credentials and wallets: The format is sooo complex, we can't implement. Let's do a simple protocol instead. And BTW, protocol/format combinations are great, pl…

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

I don't get it. I am not a frequent #AI user but do not reject it completely for now. Just casually checking some AI comments in some AI project makes me shudder.

arXiv:2602.01422v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The PCIe400 is a generic board for high-throughput data acquisition systems in high energy physics experiments. Its purpose is to interface up to 48 bidirectional links, supporting custom protocols at 1 to 26 Gbit/s, to modern commercial back-end links providing 400 Gbit/s bandwidth. It also targets clock distribution with phase determinism below 10 ps peak-to-peak. It has been designed for LHCb LS3 enhancement upgrade with experimental features to prepare LHCb Upgrade II, foreseeing an aggregated throughput of 200 Tbit/s. However, its versatility allows it to be used in several experimental environments. The board embeds Altera's flagship Agilex 7 M-series FPGA with a PCIe Gen 5 interface and an experimental QSFP112 serial interface. We present the results of qualification tests performed on prototype boards and the challenges encountered to meet specifications. Section 1 describes board-level validation, including power-up behavior and peripheral access. Section 2 focuses on high-bandwidth interface qualification through BER measurements. Finally, Section 3 investigates phase determinism in Agilex transceivers, a key requirement for precise clock distribution.
