A few days ago I watched this amazing demonstration of Reverse Engineering tools by Zeno at CCC. Binary Ninja was pretty impressive. I watched this and thought about how much more effort seems to have gone into reverse engineering tools than forward engineering tools! I guess it's just because that's where the money is.

See Charles Dodgson's letter to Gertrude Chataway, written 150 years ago: Christ Church, Oxford, October 13, 1875. My dear Gertrude,—I never give birthday presents , but you see I do sometimes write a birthday letter : so, as I’ve just arrived here, I am writing this to wish you many and many a happy return of your birthday tomorrow. I will drink your health, if only I can remember, and if you don’t mind—but perhaps you object? You see, if I were to sit by you at breakfast, and to drink your tea, you wouldn’t like that , would you? You would say “Boo! hoo! Here’s Mr. Dodgson’s drunk all my tea, and I haven’t got any left!” So I am very much afraid, next time Sybil looks for you, she’ll find you sitting by the sad sea-wave, and crying “Boo! hoo! Here’s Mr. Dodgson has drunk my health, and I haven’t got any left!” And how it will puzzle...

  Like linux, csound has a very long and convoluted history, and so learning to use csound on linux is really hard! It took me hours to find out how to record the output of Steven Yi's realtime audio processing example https://ide.csound.com/editor/2TZwvk7nAIAZ0J6TK0dT . It turns out you just need to add the line   fout "recording.wav",4,a1,a2 immediately after line 47 in project.orc that reads   out(a1, a2) The ide will actually let you download the resulting file.

The acting in this really good, and they do some convincing special effects with nearly zero props. The camerawork, lighting and sound design and the score are great too.

She points out that Palantir got a huge contract from the NHS to overhaul their data systems. She gives a link to a NYT article entitled Palantir Wins Major U.K. Health Contract Despite Criticism saying "The Peter Thiel-owned company overcame opposition from activists, doctors and lawmakers to sign a lucrative deal with England’s National Health Service."

It is an executive grant of clemency, not an acquittal. He has served fifty years in prison and now he will serve the remainder of the sentence at home. See the YouTube video description :  Statement by The Red Nation: After a half-century of unjust incarceration, Leonard Peltier is finally going home! “It’s finally over–I’m going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I’m a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.” For decades, the now elder Dakota and Ojibwe member of the American Indian Movement represented a powerful symbol for millions. His imprisonment has been viewed as collective punishment against generations of Indigenous people who fought for liberation, from the Red Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the Water Protector Movement that fought against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. Indigenous peoples have paid in blood to protect their lands, waters, and live...
