A Gang Of HackRFs Makes For A Wideband SDR | Hackaday

https://hackaday.com/2022/04/01/a-gang-of-hackrfs-makes-for-a-wideband-sdr/ (Oleg Kutkov] decided to build a wideband SDR – for satellite communication research and monitoring, you know, the usual. He decided on a battery of HackRF boards – entire eight of them, in fact. Two 1×4 and one 1×2 RF splitters and an LNA on their combined RF input made for a good start to the project, and from there, it only got more complex. HackRF boards can be synchronized with a separate clock source, but you can’t just pull a single clock line to all of them in a star configuration. Thus, he’s built a clock distribution and amplifier board, with 4 ns propagation delay at 1 PPS, and only 10 ns delay at 10 MHz. Then, he integrated that board with the HackRF setup, adding a case, wiring up a purpose-built cable and dealing with the reflections that occurred. HackRF boards are USB 2.0 and able to generate a stream of data up to 320 MB/s, and there’d be no viable way to aggregate eight 2.0 links into one. To solve that, he’s used eight separate PCI-E to USB 3.0 cards, each of them with one HackRF plugged in, all connected to an AMD Ryzen 9-powered PC through PCI-E risers we typically see used for mining purposes. To tie it all together, he created a gnuradio flowgraph and patched the osmocom source block to enable the external clock synchronization mechanisms he decided to use.

Cypherpunks for open borders
by professor rat 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

This seems uncontroversial - open borders in the absence of a command economy and full-spectrum welfare ie national-healthcare-style state is decidedly pro-market, pro-freedom, and pro-peace. Certainly open-borders are as intrinsic to crypto-anarchism as diversity-of-tactics. That is certainly uncontroversial. It may be that some self-described cypherpunk might decide to advocate for border controls for some reason. The onus is then on them to prove their case. Such as in Jeff Berwick Vs John Galton However no crypto-anarchist will be caught dead arguing for nationalist borders; I promise youse.

John McAfee dead by suicide after extradition approved by Spanish court.

There is an "opportunity cost" to NOT implementing my 'Assassination Politics' 1995 invention. http://jya.com/ap.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost?wprov=sfla1 How many tech people have been victimized by government in ways that would never have occurred had an AP-type system been functioning? Edward Snowden. Ross Ulbricht. Now John McAfee. Phil Zimmermann, author of PGP-1, was harassed for a few years. Even, dare I say, myself. The Internet has greatly changed the world in the last 25 years because people implemented ideas that hardly existed 30 years ago. Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google. Smartphones. TOR. Encrypted phones. Dark Markets. Why not AP? Why not implement the one thing that has a good chance of taking down every government on the face of the Earth? No wars, no militaries, no taxes, no governments. Are those goals any less important than any of the other advances technology has brought us?

A quick update related to the NYCCoin, STX and Miami Coin disaster: - See we are on a 20 business day timeline for answers from NY-DFS. - Same goes for the September 11, 2021 Board of Directors resignation from LendingClub.com. These questions have simple answers people already know. Kicking the can down the road really does New Yorkers a disservice. And, simply won't work. New York innovation is priceless. And protecting it from fondling seemingly has failed, in the case of NYCCoin. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xny.io/> | Bank.org <http://bank.org/>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <Carmen.Garrett(a)dfs.ny.gov> Date: Wed, Feb 2, 2022 at 11:17 AM Subject: FOIL Request# 2022-089773 Acknowledgement FOIL-2022-089773-016386 To: <g(a)xny.io> DEAR Gunnar Larsen: I write to acknowledge receipt of the FOIL request that you submitted to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), which has been assigned the above referenced tracking number.

Tom's Hardware: U.S. Wants China's SMIC to Stop Making 14nm Chips

Tom's Hardware: U.S. Wants China's SMIC to Stop Making 14nm Chips. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/us-wants-china-smic-to-stop-making-14nm-c… When the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) restricted access of China's largest contract chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) to fab equipment used to make10nm-class chips, it was considered a tough but not too severe move. Now the U.S. government is mulling restricting China from producing logic chips using a 14nm-class fabrication process. The DOC is examining the possibility of prohibiting the exportation of chipmaking tools to companies in China that can make logic chips using 14nm-class manufacturing nodes and thinner, according to a Reuters report that cites five people familiar with the matter. The only company in China currently producing chips using its 14nm fabrication process is SMIC, which has been doing so since late 2019. What is not completely clear from the report is whether the DOC wants to ban SMIC from getting tools used to make semiconductors on its 14nm node and thinner, or if it wants to ban SMIC from getting any tools at all because it is capable of making chips using its 14nm technology.

[ot][spam][crazy] inhibition efforts: standing up

it takes me hours to reconnect to my body and stand up in the morning after sleeping. some years ago I searched for a device that would push me out of bed. somebody had made an "ejector bed" but they weren't selling it. I bought a cheap high-torque motor more recently. I don't know if it's strong enough to raise plywood with a person on it, but it seems to make sense to try. the motor also has a bracket to help with mounting, but more parts may be needed.

158 highlights to DONALD J. TRUMP, vs. HILLARY R. CLINTON. Honestly, I understand the FBI's scenario here. Why on god's green Earth would New York be used and abused while at the expense of innovation.
