Hey friends! Still your grieving pal over here, but also your swarming friend and Protecting My Network Edge host — because this week I've been tinkering with something called Project Swarm and I've got my diapers on regarding it, but I really, really like what I see so far. Then, fair warning, I flip on the tangent light and verbally barf up some personal stuff at the end. I'll make the hand-off super clear, so if you want your free security podcast to do exactly what you want and nothing else — totally fair, and you won't offend me by hopping off. Here's what we cover: What is Project Swarm? This comes to us from our friends over at GreyNoise. It centers around little sensors you deploy to the edges of your network that you can dress up to look like just about anything — attracting flies to the honey, if you catch my drift. You get more enumeration, insight, and logging into whatever shenanigans those flies are using to poke at your edge. Setup was refreshingly easy: You need a very low-powered VM or hardware device (my understanding is it even works on a Raspberry Pi) mapped to a public IP, plus a free GreyNoise account. You generate an API key, copy-paste a one-line install, and off it goes. I threw mine on a tiny Ubuntu VM. The part where I didn't read the flipping manual: Mid-install my SSH connection dropped and I'm going "what the heck?!" Turns out the installer intentionally moves your real SSH to some arbitrary high port — so you can run a fake SSH honeypot on 22 while your legit connection lives elsewhere. Once I spotted the new port in the console, a quick firewall tweak and I was back in. Profiles give me level 14 giggidies: Once your sensor checks in, you assign it a profile. Vulnerable WordPress, Tomcat, a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, FTP honeypot, SSH honeypot — kind of all the honeypots. I went with a vulnerable WordPress instance. My one complaint: you can only assign one profile per sensor. My dream scenario of an SSH honeypot AND an FTP AND a vulnerable Tomcat all on one box will have to wait (or maybe that'd look too suspicious and scare the baddies off — who knows). The results were wild: Within a couple days I had thousands of connections, several flagged as malicious and tied to known botnets. I could see source IPs, malicious labels, whether they were residential or company or Google, and even download raw packet captures. There's clearly more telemetry to dig into (what people tried to spray into the login portal, etc.) — I meant to go deeper before recording and didn't, so consider this a "to be continued." Why do I care, since I'm not defending some huge infrastructure? Honestly it started as a brain break. But I've been testing a ton of external networks lately and nearly every company site is WordPress — which now powers around 43% of the internet. Running my own WordPress honeypot gives real oomph to those "your out-of-date WordPress is a big deal" conversations, where I can say "I run a WordPress honeypot and here's the aggressive password spraying and plugin/theme enumeration I'm seeing right now." See it, don't just hear it: I show the actual portal, sensor config pages, and more over on 7MinSec.club this week. Why not both, right? It's like that meme. GreyNoise also has a Project Swarm user webinar coming up — check their events page. And to be crystal clear: they are not a sponsor, this is all free, and I just think it's clever. Life update (the tangent portion): About the time you hear this, I'll be on my way to my dad's funeral, where I'm sharing some words and singing a song. I've been practicing like a madman per advice from my music director friend and guitar teacher — including a little brain hack of focusing hard on my fingers to stay a half-step removed from the emotion. And if I cry my face off up there? Who cares. This isn't America's Got Talent; it's the gesture. I'll be honest, 2026 has been a rough one, but I promised two bright spots and here they are: my son Cam (about to finish paramedic school) has been keeping grandpa's spirit alive by wearing my dad's shirts, sunglasses, and Apple watch, and getting a Cessna tattoo with my dad's actual handwriting and birth year. And you all — the kind words, the offers to talk, the shared stories — reminded me there are a whole lot of good people out there. Thank you for that. One more thing on the horizon: My brain's been a squirrel on pixie sticks, but for whatever reason I've been happily grinding the CARTP as a little vacation for my mind. I might take a swing at the exam this week — start it in the evening, grind a few hours, sleep, finish in the morning (I'm too old for 24 hours straight). I might pass, I might fail spectacularly. Either way I'll keep you posted, and if I get the cert, that's probably next week's topic!

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 01 Introduction In this episode I will describe how to calculate elapsed time in bash or other shell scripts. While this may sound like a very simple and basic thing to do, there is a slightly more complex aspect to it if you wish to calculate elapsed time to a higher resolution than one second. 02 There are many reasons for calculating elapsed time in a shell script. For example you may wish to simply report how long an operation took to run. Another reason may be that you are trying to speed up a script and need to calculate benchmark data to see how different alternative methods perform. 03 What may seem like a simple task gets a bit more complicated if you want to do it for multiple different operating systems even if they are all unix related, as we shall see. -------------------- 04 Operating Systems Tested For the purposes of this episode, I ran tests on the current version of the following operating systems. Alma Alpine Debian FreeBSD OpenBSD RaspberryPi OpenSuse Ubuntu 2604 Alma is a close copy of Red Hat that we can take as representing Red Hat style distros. -------------------- 05 Simple Low Resolution Timing I will start with the simple and obvious method before describing the less obvious ones. This uses the date command to get the current time in seconds since the unix epoch. This is simply date '+%s' 06 Save this to a variable using whatever method you prefer. For example. starttime=$(date '+%s') 07 Next, do whatever operations it is you wish to time. Use the date command to get the current time again. endtime=$(date '+%s') 08 Now simply subtract the start time from the end time using shell arithmetic. This should be very obvious and basic. -------------------- 09 Higher Resolution Timing However, suppose we wish to measure time to greater than one second of precision. We need to do two things. The first is to obtain the current time at a higher degree of precision. The second is to conduct the calculations to a higher degree of precision. 10 Unfortunately, the standard time precision for POSIX shells seems to be 1 second. Some shells offer a higher precision, but others do not. Furthermore, standard shell arithmatic uses integer, which limits calculations to 1 second of precision. -------------------- 11 Bash High Resolution Shell Variable Fortunately, bash is one that does offer a high precision date. If you are using bash 5.0 or newer, there is a shell variable called EPOCHREALTIME which offers time since the the unix epoch (that is, since the first of January 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC) in seconds to 6 decimals of precision. 12 Example echo $EPOCHREALTIME 1779634800.184926 13 This is related to the similar bash variable known as EPOCHSECONDS which gives the number of seconds since the unix epoch. 14 Example echo $EPOCHSECONDS 1779634800 15 So if you are using bash, measuring time is very simple. -------------------- 16 But is it Really Bash? Is your script however actually using bash? Debian and derivatives actually have two shells. The first, the interactive shell is bash. The second, the non-interactive shell is dash, which stands for "debian almquist shell". 17 If you open a terminal, you get bash. If your script starts with a "bin/bash" shebang line, you get bash. However, if your script starts with a "bin/sh" shebang line, you get dash. Some people find themselves getting caught out by this one when they try something out in a terminal but find that it doesn't work in their script which started with "bin/sh". 18 Many other, but not all, Linux distros use bash for both the interactive and non-interactive shells, so "bin/sh" and "bin/bash" work the same with those ones. So if you intend to use bash, make sure your script calls for bash in the first line. -------------------- 19 The SHELL Variable So how can a script tell what shell it is running under? There is a shell variable called "SHELL" which will tell you the name of the shell. Well, sort of. 20 On Debian and derivatives "SHELL" will say "bash" regardless of whether the actual shell is bash or dash. On some other operating systems "SHELL" will simply say "sh" even if it is something else entirely. So we need to do some additional levels of checking to see what we have. 21 To start with though, here's what each of the test distros reports for SHELL. Alma : bash Alpine : sh Debian : bash FreeBSD : sh OpenBSD : ksh Raspberry-Pi : bash Suse : bash ubuntu2604 : bash -------------------- 22 Bash Versus Dash First, let's try to see which ones are bash and which ones are dash. The first thing we can check is for the shell variable BASH_VERSION. 23 Example echo $BASH_VERSION If the shell is bash, then it will report a version string. If the shell is not bash, then it will return an empty value. 24 Using this test, we can see that Alma and Opensuse are indeed using bash. We however need to check Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu when running in an "sh" script. To check this we can use the "which" command to see what "sh" actually is. 25 Example echo $( ls -l $(which sh ) | rev | cut -d" " -f1 | cut -d/ -f1 | rev ) 26 "which sh" shows us the path to "sh" However, that is a link so we need to use "ls -l" to find the actual executable. "rev" reverses the string. 27 "cut" takes the first element separated by spaces. The second "cut" takes the first element separated by the "/" characters. The final "rev" takes that string and reverses it again to get it in the correct order. 28 In the case of Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu it tells us that this is "dash". -------------------- 29 Openbsd Openbsd reports its shell as "ksh", which stands for Korn Shell. It is indeed Korn Shell, so we simply leave that one as is. -------------------- 30 Alpine and Freebsd Next we have Alpine Linux and Freebsd, which both report as "sh". In the case Freebsd there doesn't appear to be any further we can go that I am aware of. It's simple "sh". It is a basic POSIX shell which seems to be similar to the original unix shell, the Bourne Shell. Older versions of Freebsd used a different shell known as tsch (the C shell), but I haven't tested that so I will ignore that here. 31 With Alpine Linux however, we can get the actual shell using the same method that we used for Debian Linux. This reports as being "busybox". 32 Busybox is a limited shell intended for use in embedded systems. Alpine was originally an embedded distro, but some people started using it for containers. Alpine is Linux, but it is not GNU/Linux, and there are a number of areas which can trip you up if you are not aware of them. So, be extra careful if you are using it for anything, and test everything. -------------------- 33 Summary of Actual Shells Here is our revised list with the actual shell used when asking for "sh", so far as we can determine. Alma : bash Alpine : busybox Debian : dash FreeBSD : sh OpenBSD : ksh Raspberry-Pi : dash Suse : bash ubuntu2604 : dash 34 There are other shells, but none of them are the default shell for any of the distros on our list, so I haven't tested them. -------------------- 35 Solutions for Measuring Time Now we need to find solutions for bash, dash, ksh, sh, and busybox. -------------------- 36 Bash For bash, we can simply use EPOCHREALTIME, as mentioned above. -------------------- 37 Dash For dash, we can use the date command. This is a very conventional method, and is probably the first answer that anyone would give for this situation. However, while it will work in most cases, it will not work in all cases, so it is not a universal solution. 38 To use date we simply call it with the correct format string. This uses %s to get seconds since the epoch, and %N to get nanoseconds of the current second. If you put a decimal separator between the two it will appear in the output. You can use the correct decimal separator for your locale, but I won't go into that here. Instead I will just assume a period or dot. 39 Example date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.358916385 -------------------- 40 Problems with Date on Alpine and Openbsd Date will work for bash, dash, and sh on Freebsd. However it will not work for ksh on Openbsd, or for busybox on Alpine. 41 With busybox on Alpine, it simply ignores the %N format specifier and prints out the epoch in seconds only followed by the decimal separator. = Example date '+%s.%N' 1779634800. 42 With ksh on Openbsd it prints the epoch in seconds followed by the decimal separator and then the %N as a literal N. date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.N 43 Fortunately we have alternatives for these two cases. -------------------- 44 Openbsd Openbsd has the "ts" or timestamp utility installed by default. ts prints a time stamp in front of every line it receives from standard input. I won't go into details on all aspects of ts here, I'll leave that to someone else. Instead I will focus on how to use it for our specific purposes here. 45 We need to provide a format specifier to ts, which in this case is "%.s" We also need to provide something for standard input, or otherwise ts will simply sit there and wait for input. So what we need to do is to echo nothing through a pipe to ts while also giving ts the proper format specifier. 46 Example echo | ts "%.s" 47 This will output the epoch time in seconds to six decimals of precision. ts is installed in Openbsd and Freebsd by default and can be used in either. It can also be installed in many other distros. -------------------- 48 Busybox on Alpine None of the methods discussed so far will work for busybox on Alpine though. However there is a way, but it's a bit non obvious and somewhat hacky. 49 Busybox includes a command called "adjtimex". This is normally used to adjust the time hardware. However if it is run without arguments, it will report the current settings. 50 These include the current epoch time in seconds , and in another field the time in microseconds. These are reported as key value pairs. So what we need to do is to do the following 51 Run adjtimex Capture the output. Grep for "time.tv_sec" Grep for "time.tv_usec" Use cut to extract the time value in each case. Use tr to get rid of excess spaces in each case. Combine the two in a string with a decimal separator between them. 52 This takes a total of 4 lines of shell script. I will just describe them breifly here, see the show notes for details. 53 First we want to capture the output of adjtimex in a single operation. Run adjtimex and pipe the output through grep to capture lines containing "time.tv_" and save this to a variable. # Extract the current high resolution time from adjtimex. # We want two key value pairs, identified by time.tv_sec and time.tv_usec. tvals=$( adjtimex | grep "time.tv_" ) 54 Next echo the contents of this variable and pipe it through grep, cut, and tr to get first the seconds and then the microseconds while also removing excess spaces. Save these to two separate variables. "time.tv_sec" is the time in seconds since the epoch. "time.tv_usec" is the number of microseconds in the current second. # Get the time since the unix epoch in seconds and micro-seconds. timesec=$( echo "$tvals" | grep "time.tv_sec" | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d " " ) timeusec=$( echo "$tvals" | grep "time.tv_usec" | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d " " ) 55 Adjtimex does not zero pad the microsecond time value to provide leading zeros, so we need to take care of this using printf before we can append it to the seconds value. We didn't need to do this with date where the %N format character does this automatically. In this instance, the printf format string is '%06d' padusec=$( printf '%06d' $timeusec ) Now, combine these into a single number with a decimal separator by using simple string concatenation. # Combine them into a single number. timehires="$timesec"".""$padusec" -------------------- 56 Summary of Methods Let's summarize where we are so far in terms of methods we can use to get the current time as a high resolution number. Alma : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Debian (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Raspberry-Pi (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date ubuntu2604 (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Suse : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Debian (dash) : use date Raspberry-Pi (dash) : use date ubuntu2604 (dash) : use date Alpine : use adjtimex and parse the output FreeBSD : use date or ts OpenBSD : use ts -------------------- 57 Other alternatives There are a few alternatives that we haven't discussed yet. 58 Bash with Dash In the case of Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu running dash, since bash is available it is possible to write a separate bash script which simply echos EPOCHREALTIME and then call it from the dash script and capture the output. While this would work, there's probably not a lot of point to it. If you can rely on bash being there, then just change the first line of the script and make it a bash script. 59 Adding Packages to Alpine The ts or timestamp utility is a common unix utility that can be installed if it is not present by default. This does produce high resolution timestamps on Alpine. On Alpine Linux this comes as part of the "moreutils" package. To add the package, use the following sudo apk add moreutils echo | ts "%.s" 1779634800.959948 60 You can also add the GNU coreutils, which will provide a high resolution date command which works like in the other examples. To add the package use the following sudo apk add coreutils date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.212897332 61 If you can install more packages into your Alpine system, either of the above two is probably going to be preferable to parsing the output of adjtimex. 62 Custom Timestamp Programs You can also write a very short program in python, perl, tcl, or some other language and have it output the current epoch time. I won't discuss that here though. -------------------- 63 Calculating Time Differences Shell arithmetic is integer only. If we wish to use high resolution timing data, we need to do something so we don't lose the precision we have worked so hard to get. There are several possible solutions. 64 Change the Time Base One method is to change the time base from seconds to milli, micro, or nanoseconds. This can be done by simply multiplying the time values by the appropriate amount (e.g. 1000, 1,000,000, etc.) before subtracting them. This allows for integer arithmetic on high resolution values without losing precision. 65 Use the Shell bc Arbitrary Precision Calculator The bc command line calculator will perform calculations using real numbers and is easy to use in scripts. It is present by default in most distros. echo "scale=9; $endtime - $starttime" | bc where endtime and starttime are variables containing time values. 66 However, for some inexplicable reason, neither Debian nor Opensuse install it by default. It is present in Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi which are Debian derivatives, and it can be added to distros which lack it. 67 Use awk awk can also perform calculations using real numbers and it is present in nearly all distros including in all of the ones we tested here. echo "$endtime $starttime" | awk '{printf "%.6fn", $1 - $2}' -------------------- 68 Benchmarks And of course no comparative evaluation would be complete without benchmarks where we see how each method compares to another in terms of speed. In the benchmark test I ran each method in a loop through multiple iterations, measured the elapsed time, subtracted out the time for an empty loop, and then compared it to alternate methods. For anything other than EPOCHREALTIME, the empty loop time is negligible and has no real effect on the results. 69 Rather interestingly I came across a bug which caused date to run very slowly if called immediately after using EPOCHREALTIME in bash. The effect of the bug was to make the date benchmark test roughly 24 times slower. This has been fixed in newer releases, but if you are using an older distro release then beware of this bug. I was able to get around it either putting a sleep delay between benchmarking EPOCHREALTIME and benchmarking date, or by simply testing date before testing EPOCHREALTIME. 70 To be able to conduct additional tests I installed ts in Ubuntu and Alpine, and the GNU version of date in Alpine. 71 EPOCHREALTIME Versus date in Ubuntu 2604 bash The EPOCHREALTIME method is 3103 times faster than date. However, when the same test is run on Ubuntu 2404 when the date test is run before the EPOCHREALTIME test, EPOCHREALTIME is 1240 faster than date. Other Linux distros show performance to Ubuntu 2404. It appears that a side effect of fixing whatever the bug is has the effect of slowing down date. However, this is probably not a significant issue in normal circumstances. 72 date versus ts in Ubuntu 2604 bash The date method is 3.7 times faster than ts 73 date versus ts in Ubuntu 2604 dash The date method is 4.9 times faster than ts 74 date versus ts in Freebsd sh The date method is 2.5 times faster than ts 75 date versus adjtimex in Alpine Busybox The date method is 6.0 times faster than adjtimex 76 date versus ts in Alpine Busybox The date method is 20.0 times faster than ts 77 bc versus awk in Ubuntu 2604 I compared calculating the difference between two numbers when using bc versus awk. The difference is negligible, with bc being only 7% faster than awk. 78 Conclusion for Benchmarks Based on these results, if you need to measure elapsed time to high resolution and care about runing the command with as little overhead as possible, then the order of preference should be the following. 79 If you are using a newer version of bash, then use EPOCHREALTIME. If that is not available, then use date, provided it allows for high resolution times. If the above two cannot be used, then use ts. If you are using Busybox and cannot install either GNU date or ts, then use adjtimex. Date is the closest in terms of being the universal portable solution, but it does not work in all cases. 80 I have not compared different platforms to each other in terms of performance, as that would be a much more involved problem that is outside the scope of this episode. However, different operating systems implement different commands in different ways. 81 For example, on Openbsd and Freebsd, ts appears to be an ELF binary. That is, it is executable machine code, possibly written in C. On Ubuntu however, ts appears to be a perl script. As a result of this, the advantage that date has over ts is much less in Freebsd than it is with Ubuntu (and likely other Linux distros) as on Freebsd it doesn't need to load a perl interpreter to run ts. -------------------- 82 Overall Conclusion You no doubt thought that measuring elapsed time was going to be so simple, and how could someone get an entire podcast out of such a simple subject? And yet here we are half an hour later with just a basic overview of the subject. 83 I hope you found this interesting and informative. Please let us know in the comments if you think that I have done anything incorrectly, or if you have another way of doing things. I hope to see you all again in another future episode of HPR. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

Eric and Matt discuss the Explore community momentum this year with a better community booth, improved screens and keyboard for the code labs and giving away sensor while learning how to deploy workload to the edge using VKS.

In this Perspectives episode from InfoComm 2026, we sit down with Aaron Todd of OpenAVC for a conversation that goes well beyond a simple product demo. OpenAVC is an open, platform-agnostic AV control platform aimed at breaking the industry's long-standing dependence on locked-down hardware ecosystems and expensive proprietary boxes just to run simple room controls. Aaron walks through the philosophy behind the project, how it can run on everything from Windows and Linux to Raspberry Pi and even Android tablets, and why AV control should increasingly be treated as a software problem rather than a hardware purchase. We also get into GitHub, community contributions, driver support, AI-assisted development, and why open tools like this could be especially meaningful for higher ed teams trying to stretch budgets, extend the life of existing systems, and build the workflows they actually need. This one leans into the bigger story: open control, cost savings, higher-ed relevance, and the "why are we still doing it this way?" disruption angle. https://www.linkedin.com/company/openavc

In this episode, Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start off by taking a trip down the Raspberry Pi memory lane and then tackle a fresh pile of listener mail. The discussion moves on to hacking bike counter, homebrew upgrades to the Nintendo Entertainment System, and building RAM from whats in the parts bin. You'll hear about the latest drop-in upgrade for a classic Casio watch, hosting light bulbs that host subversive literature, and loading Wii U games from a weird disk drive from the 1980s. They'll wrap things up with a dive into the evolving portrayals of brilliant rebels in media, and all the things you can do with a cheap router. Check out the links over on Hackaday if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Hey, it's Alex. Next month is my 40th b-day, and honestly, my wish for that month is to have a week like this week. A very chill, almost nothing announced week.This week started strong, with Sakana announcing FUGU (AI router) that can beat Fable (which we didn't get back yet), and then... quiet. The most important thing in AI this week from a release standpoint is that GLM 5.2 from Z.AI is having it's DeepSeek moment! Tons of new love for this model since last week! (+ we have the fastest GLM 5.2 deployment in the world with CW inference!) The rest we can quickly count on one hand, Anthropic added Claude to Slack (which made folks hate Andrej Karpathy), OpenAI announced their own inference chip, GPT 5.6 will be delayed and the US Gov will decide who gets it (yes really) and Sean Grove joined us to talk about Linzumi and his vision for running 10,000 agent hours per person per day. Oh and next week, is a special AI Engineer live stream from World's Fair! Don't miss itLet's get into it! Subscribe to never miss a beat! GLM 5.2 is having its DeepSeek moment (HF, CW Inference)We covered GLM 5.2 last week, but this week was when the rest verdict came in! We've never seen a better MIT licenced AI model! GLM 5.2 is scoring top scores on agentic benchmarks (Arena.ai), Design benchmarks, Legal tasks and full on software engineering tasks. The jump in generations from prevoius GLM is also massive and notable, as the lab is working on creating the next version of GLM (per the CEO's reply to Elon on X).Peter from Arena pulled up the Agent Arena numbers and they align with the vibe. GLM 5.2 sits above 5.1 but below Opus and Fable, which feels about right. Where it gets wild is Web Dev Arena: second place, right after Fable. Peter's take was that GLM has really good defaults. If you just say “give me a webpage” it gives you something nice. GPT models, by contrast, start off looking bad and need more steering.Last week, I asked my agents with GLM 5.2 to create a custom ThursdAI.news page for itself and it did a marvelous job! Look at that beautiful font, the castle it made... this is all just delignful. We also played Hassan's blind test on the show. It's a website that @nutlope built that lets you try and guess which webpage was built by which model. Nisten nailed it immediately by spotting Opus's circular buttons. Wolfram guessed right too. I got one wrong. The point isn't that GLM beats Opus, it's that you genuinely can't always tell which one costs 22 cents and which one costs 3 cents.Wolfram did flag that GLM is not good in German. First response already had mistakes. So if you're building for a non-English market, keep that in mind. It's a workhorse model, not a conversationalist. His approach: use GPT 5.5 for planning and discussion, GLM for the actual work, then GPT reviews. This weeks Buzz is all about GLM 5.2! First, we may have not been the fastest, but I'm glad to announce that we're the fastest provider to host GLM 5.2 on OpenRouter (at least at the time of writing this)! We're also not to shabby on the Artificial Analysis checks, clocking at #4 among the providers they tested for speed, TTFT and costAlso, Wolfram ran his WolfBench tests on GLM 5.2 and it's the best open model he's ever tested! In this new 3d view, wolfbench also shows the number of tokens it took for this test to run, and you can see that GLM 5.2 is fairly conservative with it's thinking budgets! Unsloth's 1-bit GLM 5.2 runs on a Mac Studio (X, HF)Shout out to Daniel Han and the Unsloth team, who took this 744B beast and quantized it down to a roughly 200GB GGUF that fits on a Mac Studio with 256GB of RAM. One bit still makes me laugh out loud. How does that even work. Nisten clarified it's a mixed quant, a true 1-bit would be under 100GB, but still.The wild part is the scores hold up. The 1-bit is within a point of GPT 5.5 on Frontier SWE, hits 62% on SWE-bench Pro, and 81% on Terminal-Bench. For a 1-bit quant that's incredible! AI's second-order effects: Apple is raising pricesThis one is AI news even though it doesn't look like it. Apple just raised prices across the board, base versions up around 20%, citing memory shortages. Same reason your RAM and SSDs cost two to three times what they did a year ago.We are so capacity constrained that memory is having its moment. Data center contracts are getting booked 18 months out, and here's the twist Nisten flagged: even open models you can run at home increase demand, because now a business says “great, we'll buy a rack of B200s and run it ourselves.” Sam Altman once said people saying “thank you” to ChatGPT costs them millions in generated “you're welcome” replies. Multiply that by a billion users. Even Intel is flying right now because anyone who can make a chip is winning.Is it worth it? I think yes. I love living in the era where Fable drops and we all get a taste of the future. But also I must admit this sucks and I hope that we'll unlock performance gains with the extra power all this AI is bringing to the world. But ask me again once the new iPhone hits and it's $300 more costly than the last one

Michael #1: Backup Docker volumes locally or to any S3 Via Bryan Weber (thanks Bryan!), who spotted it over on Virtualization HowTo. Find Bryan at bryanwweber.com. offen/docker-volume-backup is a lightweight companion container that backs up the volumes your apps actually depend on, then ships them somewhere safe. It's tiny: written in Go and about 25MB compressed, roughly 1/20th the size of the shell-based image (jareware/docker-volume-backup) that inspired it. Drop it into your docker compose file as a backup service, mount the volumes you care about as read-only, and you're off. Push backups to a pile of destinations: a local directory, plus any S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, or SSH-compatible target. Mix and match as many as you want in one run. Recurring cron-style backups in a Compose setup, or one-off backups straight from the Docker CLI. Production-friendly touches worth calling out: Rotates away old backups so you don't quietly fill the disk. GPG encryption for your archives. Notifications on finished and failed runs (so you find out about failures before you need the backup). Stop a container during backup for a consistent snapshot using a simple docker-volume-backup.stop-during-backup=true label, then auto-restart it. Run custom commands during the backup lifecycle (great for a database dump before the file copy). Docker Swarm support, plus arm64 and arm/v7 builds. Hello, Raspberry Pi homelab. Fun aside from Bryan: he searched our back catalog for this tool and the search came back so fast he thought it hadn't run. Love to hear it. Calvin #2: Pyodide 314.0 Release PEP 783 is the real news — Pyodide maintainers used to hand-build 300+ packages. Now anyone can publish Pyodide wheels to PyPI with cibuildwheel. The version jump from 0.29 to 314.0 is intentional — it now tracks the Python version, so 314.x = Python 3.14. Binary compatibility is locked per Python cycle, meaning packages you build today won't break on the next Pyodide release. sqlite3, ssl, and lzma are back in the default stdlib — no more await pyodide.loadPackage("sqlite3"). Bigger download, but a much smoother experience for newcomers. bigint precision bug is fixed — values above 2^53 were silently losing precision when crossing the Python/JS boundary. The new JsBigInt type makes the roundtrip correct. Worth flagging if anyone is doing numeric work in a browser app. Experimental TCP sockets in Node.js — you can now connect Pyodide to a real database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis tested) when running server-side. Blurs the line between "Python in the browser" and "Python runtime anywhere Wasm runs." Michael #3: nb-cli: A Command-Line Interface for AI Agents and Notebook Automation From Piyush Jain (Jupyter and LangChain maintainer) on the Jupyter blog: nb-cli: A Command-Line Interface for AI Agents and Notebook Automation. nb-cli is an experimental, Rust-based CLI to read, write, execute, and search Jupyter notebooks. The premise: agents are great at CLIs but terrible at hand-editing the nested JSON in an .ipynb, so let them operate on the notebook from the outside instead of running inside it. Works with or without a Jupyter server. No server? It reads/writes .ipynb files directly and talks to kernels over ZeroMQ. Connected to a live JupyterLab, your edits show up instantly via Y.js (the same CRDT Jupyter uses). Smart output format: instead of token-heavy JSON or ambiguous plain markdown, it uses @@cell / @@output sentinels with inline metadata. Less wasted context, unambiguous structure, and it degrades gracefully on truncation. The payoff is composability. "Add a summary section and run it" becomes one shell pipeline instead of six agent tool calls. And nb search notebook.ipynb --with-errors returns only the failing cells, so the agent skips the cells that worked. Claude Code tie-in: it ships as an agent skill. npx skills install jupyter-ai-contrib/nb-cli and your agent can drive notebooks via nb. Out of jupyter-ai-contrib, which aims to become an official Jupyter AI subproject. Still early (crates.io is at v0.0.5), so kick the tires before anything load-bearing. See also marimo-pair. Calvin #4: Hindsight Agent Memory That Learns AI agents forget everything between sessions — Hindsight gives them persistent memory that learns over time Simple three-method API: retain(), recall(), reflect() — store, retrieve, and reason over memories TEMPR retrieval runs semantic, keyword, graph, and temporal search in parallel for accurate results Automatically consolidates related facts into durable observations instead of piling up duplicates pip install hindsight-all runs the entire server in-process; integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pydantic AI, CrewAI, and more Extras Calvin: Clanker: A Word For The Machine **Ponytail — You know him.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The thing I think I love most about the hobby of amateur radio is the challenges it represents, not in terms of life or emotional ones, though I will admit that there's some of those .. in no small part due to the variety and complexity associated with being human and a member of the community, more in terms of figuring out how stuff works and then how much stuff there is. I was first licensed in 2010 and since then I've attempted to document the experience of being an amateur and discovering just what that might mean. This week has been interesting, if not quite as productive as I was hoping for. I spent a full day working on SoapyAudio, you might recall, it's one of the potential puzzle pieces in my Bald Yak project. I can report that it compiles fine on a Raspberry Pi 2, and when I get a moment I suspect that it will also work just fine on a Pi Zero. When I got to the point of packaging it all up, I spent hours trying to get my head around the Debian packaging system. For reasons I don't understand, nobody appears to have written anything that monitors the standard 'make install' step, save for one project called 'checkinstall' which has some serious bugs, like overwriting the system password file, and is not recommended. While in the middle of that adventure I discovered that SoapySDR and associated modules, utilities and support tools are already packaged in Debian. I'll confess that I emulated a stunned mullet when I noticed that. While this might mean that I essentially spent three days shaving a Yak for apparently no good reason, it did allow me to discover that SoapyAudio is currently receive only, but adding transmit doesn't look like an unsolvable problem. I still don't know why I went down the compilation steps but it allowed me to peruse the source-code which helped discover how some of this hangs together and I'll hasten to add that my understanding is currently incomplete at best, but that's par for the course. After discovering the existing packaging I installed 'soapyremote-server' on the Pi and it worked out of the box .. something which I'm happy to say is a regular occurrence with Debian packages, perhaps this is why packaging is so complex, another thing to investigate as time permits. I then added an external USB sound card with the audio going into the rear DATA socket of my FT-857d, and together with the CT-62 compatible USB CAT cable, that's Computer Assisted Tuning, allowing remote control of the radio, the Pi was ready to be the network interface to my copy of GNU Radio. Well, not quite. There's some secret incantations that I have still to divine, but thanks to random forum posts with hints at how to format the command string required, I'm making progress. GNU Radio can see the Soapy Server, has passed the checks to control the radio, which happens behind the scenes thanks to Hamlib, but stumbles on the audio card side of things. If it weren't for other life affirming activities in my diary, I would be reporting success, but I can tell you that I can taste it. Now, why does this make me excited? Well, it means that I can now use my FT-857d across the room, technically across the Internet even, to receive and process RF within GNU Radio. You might recall that this is one of the stated aims of this whole endeavour. In terms of "50 things to do with an SDR", this one will end up in the "Listen to conversations on the 2-meter amateur radio band" pile. While it's not particularly exciting to listen to the local repeater across the room, something which I can do by turning up the volume or getting a long headphone lead, it represents a small milestone in the pursuit of my Bald Yak project which aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. It's called Bald Yak because by the time I'm done, the Yak is likely well and truly shaved. So .. micron by micron I'm getting closer. Also, "like a stunned mullet" means to be dazed and uncomprehending, feel free to use it in public. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

We're back! Tonight we're just chilling, taking some questions and bullshittin'. ==== Special Thanks to Our Patrons! ==== https://thelinuxcast.org/patrons/ ===== Follow us

Foundations of Amateur Radio Previously I've talked about a piece of software called SoapyAudio. It's part of the toolkit called SoapySDR which in turn is part of a whole ecosystem called the Pothos framework, coordinated by Pothosware, founded by Josh Blum. I'm mentioning this for two reasons, first to give credit to Josh and the many contributions he has made to the Software Defined Radio ecosystem and second, to indicate that there's several moving parts here. SoapyAudio is a module that connects an audio device, like a microphone or a speaker, more on that in a moment, to a tool called SoapySDR. This allows you to connect to that device, either directly, or over the network, from within any Soapy compatible SDR tool, like Cubic SDR, SDRangel, Quisk and SDR++ to name a few. Said differently, you can use the SoapyAudio module to pretend that your sound card is a Software Defined Radio, and use the associated SDR tools to use it. While interesting in and of itself, the idea comes into focus if you consider that you could connect your analogue radio to the sound card and now you have actual radio frequencies coming into your card, which you can use as an SDR. This works because SoapyAudio also includes Hamlib support, which in turn means that you can send commands like: Set the Frequency, or Set the Mode, to your radio using Hamlib, better yet, if you do this within your SDR software, all this happens behind the scenes. Now, before I dig in too much more, I mentioned a microphone and speaker. When you connect your radio to a computer, the microphone or line-in socket is used to receive audio from the radio, it leaves the radio and enters the computer via the microphone and gives you the ability to receive audio, alternatively, when you connect the computer speaker to the radio, it leaves the computer and enters the radio, to transmit audio. Right now I see no evidence that SoapyAudio supports the ability to transmit, and the ecosystem overview shows the module in a different location than the other radio modules. It might well transpire that none of this is going to work long-term, but the point of this is to learn how it works and to get an understanding of how data flows back and forth. Ideally, I'd end up with a module that would integrate into GNU Radio using the existing SoapySDR integration, but I'm nowhere near that, and my ongoing computing challenges keep banging me in the face, so small steps. If you're not quite sure how this is supposed to work, your radio is connected to your computer using audio in and out, as well as a serial or USB connection. The computer is running SoapyAudio which uses Hamlib to control the radio and uses SoapySDR to send and receive both control and radio signals through a tool called soapy-server, which I think will all run on a cheap Raspberry Pi which is in turn is connected to the network to another more beefy computer running GNU Radio and the SoapySDR module, allowing you to both control the radio over the network as well as receive and transmit. Well .. at least that's the plan. In order to bring that grand idea closer to fruition, I've just spent the past two days putting together a set of instructions, in the form of a Dockerfile, to attempt to help make that happen. I'll note upfront that this is a work in progress and there were plenty of trips to the local Yak Shaving compound to sharpen my blades, but I think by now you'll understand that this is par for the course. I'm sharing all this with you because in amateur radio and in any complex endeavour, progress is made by making small incremental improvements. We're up to the 19th, or 20th, if you count the introduction of my Bald Yak series and so far I have only very little tangible assets to show you. I suspect that this is going to be the case for some time to come. Perhaps my journey should be viewed as a way to pursue the things you're interested in and document your progress along the way, rather than a journey towards a product that you can install tomorrow morning after you've had your morning coffee. If all that made your head explode, don't worry, you're in good company. I embarrassed myself in front of all the HamSci community the other day when I proposed to use a spectrogram to capture and understand Ionosonde data, rather than raw IQ. I still don't know what I was thinking. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Stewart Alsop sat down with Michael Shackelford to discuss their experiences building applications through vibe coding—the practice of using AI to create software without traditional programming expertise. Stewart, who runs the AI Whispers community in Buenos Aires and hosts the Crazy Wisdom podcast (with over 660 interviews), shared how he went from teaching people prompt engineering to building his own video conferencing software as a Riverside.fm replacement, while Michael opened up about his year-long journey creating Genrupt Inc, an AI-powered content generation tool for e-commerce sellers. The conversation covered everything from the decline in quality of Claude's reasoning capabilities and how Chinese companies used distillation attacks to copy Anthropic's models, to the importance of spaced repetition systems for managing knowledge in the age of LLMs, with both sharing battle-tested prompting strategies like asking AI to "explain it to me in genius terms" and using deep research queries to reverse engineer how competitors build their products.Show Notes:- Dan Martell's book "Buy Back Your Time" was mentioned as one of the best business books for thinking about life and business- Check out John Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" for understanding relevance realization and why AI fundamentally cannot determine what's relevant to humans without being toldTimestamps00:00 Michael discusses being exhausted from getting his app ready for launch, working nonstop with AI to prepare landing page for podcast traffic driving beta signups05:00 Stewart explains starting AI Whispers in Buenos Aires after leaving OpenAI vendor company, meeting early adopters like Torin who was building mind-reading EEG technology10:00 Discussion of how corporations resist AI adoption due to political games and job security fears while some companies use AI as excuse for pandemic-era layoffs15:00 Stewart describes teaching workshops on using LLMs as linguistic tools rather than coding tools, noting technical people often lack humanities background needed for prompting20:00 Explaining chatbot wrappers, API calls, and how Anthropic's reasoning quality declined after Chinese distillation attacks copied their secret sauce developed with philosophers25:00 Technical discussion of model training, fine-tuning versus RAG for new information, and different approaches to updating AI knowledge beyond initial training30:00 Stewart describes building podcast recording software to replace expensive Riverside, struggling with syncing audio and video files across different computer clocks35:00 Discussion of critical factors in vibe coding, discovering unknown technical requirements, and how AIs don't automatically reveal missing information40:00 Stewart's reverse engineering process using deep research function to study competitors' hiring and technology stacks, separating planning agents from coding agents45:00 Prompting techniques including "explain like I know everything" and using spaced repetition systems to capture valuable prompts and technical knowledge50:00 Michael explains his Generux app for generating ecommerce content using Amazon review data analysis to inform high-converting listing images and videos55:00 Discussion of founder mentality involving self-delusion about project timelines, Michael working nine-plus hours daily for nine months on app development60:00 Comparing Amazon's expert software to prosumer software approach, discussing distribution challenges and future robotics applications for customized products65:00 Stewart demonstrates spaced repetition app for memory improvement and knowledge retention, explaining relevance realization problem that AI agents cannot solve without embodimentKey Insights1. Stewart Alsop started AI Whisperers in Buenos Aires after leaving his role at Invisible Technologies, which was OpenAI's largest vendor for RLHF work. He noticed that machine learning engineers at tech companies lacked the humanities background needed to properly interact with large language models, which are fundamentally linguistic tools. This led him to create weekly workshops teaching non-technical people how to use AI effectively, running events every Thursday for two years straight. The group attracted intense geeks from the start and eventually led to Stewart speaking right after Vitalik Buterin at DevConnect, marking a significant milestone for the community.2. Large corporations are resistant to AI adoption due to multiple factors including political dynamics within organizations and employees fearing job loss. Many companies that grew during the pandemic are now using AI as an excuse to downsize when the real issue is inefficiency from rapid expansion. Stewart observed that even technical people in machine learning often don't understand how to properly use AI tools because they lack linguistic and humanities training. The fundamental problem is educational, requiring companies to train people how to use these new tools while those same people resist learning them.3. Vibe coding has evolved significantly with Claude Code being a game changer that reduced the technical barrier to entry. Before Claude Code, developers needed substantial technical knowledge to work through constant doom loops and debugging cycles. The success of coding AI tools stems from thirty years of testing infrastructure that provides clear yes or no feedback on whether code works. This infrastructure doesn't exist in the same way for manufacturing, science, and other fields, which is why software became the dominant area for AI assistance initially.4. Claude's quality degradation over recent months resulted from multiple factors including distillation attacks by Chinese companies who reverse engineered Anthropic's reasoning capabilities. Anthropic had hired philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to develop exceptional reasoning in Claude 4.5, but this was expensive to run. When Chinese models like Kimi copied these capabilities at one tenth the cost, and when mainstream users flooded the platform before Anthropic's planned IPO, the company had to reduce quality to manage computational costs. This represents a significant loss for power users who relied on Claude's superior reasoning abilities.5. Stewart built a podcast recording application to replace Riverside because he needed API access to automate workflows, which Riverside wanted one thousand dollars monthly to provide. The technical challenge involves syncing audio and video from local recordings on multiple computers with different clocks through a server, then merging them so voices match lip movements. This problem requires understanding complex timing issues across different network conditions and file formats. Stewart has been working through AI psychosis for months on this FFMPEG pipeline problem, illustrating how vibe coding still requires building intuition about technical problems even without traditional coding knowledge.6. The transition from expert software to prosumer software represents a major opportunity for AI-enabled tools. Expert software like Photoshop, Blender, and terminal interfaces have extreme complexity that intimidates beginners, but AI is making these capabilities accessible through natural language. The reign of specialists is ending as generalists with broad knowledge and curiosity can now build complete applications by leveraging AI to fill technical gaps. This shift particularly benefits entrepreneurs and founders who specialize in getting into difficult situations and figuring them out, even when they originally thought tasks would be easier than they turned out to be.7. Building applications with AI requires accepting massive time investments beyond initial estimates and developing strategies for overcoming knowledge gaps. Michael estimated his ecommerce content generation app would take months but spent nearly a year working over nine hours daily, while Stewart spent months solving audio-video sync issues. Success requires using tools like deep research to understand how competitors solve problems, maintaining separate planning and coding agents, and learning to ask the right questions. The key insight is that vibe coders can achieve ninety percent of functionality independently, but the final ten percent often requires understanding specific technical concepts that AI cannot intuit without proper context and domain knowledge.

Get ready for another unforgettable episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast as Charles and Joe welcome back returning guest Todd Sarner for a conversation packed with gaming debates, parenting wisdom, music industry stories, anime discussions, and the kind of chaotic humor fans have come to love. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “Do you like that games do cosmetic-only purchases, or would you prefer game-changing content?” The hosts quickly find common ground, passionately agreeing that games should never allow players to buy a competitive advantage. From battle passes to microtransactions, the discussion dives into the modern gaming landscape and why cosmetic-only monetization feels far more fair to players who value skill and balance over pay-to-win mechanics. With the traditional roll of the dice, the episode launches into a barrage of Bad Dad Jokes, courtesy of Joe's middle child, Bob. The jokes come fast, the groans come faster, and the entire segment perfectly captures the wholesome chaos that defines Wise_N_Nerdy humor. Next comes the heartfelt “How Do I…?” segment, where the hosts discuss an important topic for parents everywhere: not letting pride get in the way of being a good parent. Through honest conversation and personal insight, Charles, Joe, and Todd explore how humility, communication, and admitting mistakes can strengthen relationships with your kids and help families grow together. The dice then guide the show into the thoughtful “Parliament of Papas” segment, featuring a question from community member MithrilBiata about fostering independence for a cousin with AuDHD. The hosts approach the discussion with empathy and care, sharing perspectives on encouragement, patience, and creating supportive environments that empower neurodivergent individuals while still respecting their unique challenges and strengths. From there, the episode shifts into the fan-favorite “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Todd Sarner shares incredible memories from his time working as a roadie for Metallica. From behind-the-scenes chaos to unforgettable concert experiences, Todd's stories offer a rare glimpse into life on the road with one of the biggest bands in music history. Finally, the episode wraps up with the always entertaining “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe shares his excitement about setting up a Raspberry Pi project to host a bot he created for the Digital Media Track Discord server. The bot, hilariously named Quasar—short for Questionably Useful Automated Scheduling Assistant Robot—perfectly embodies the nerdy creativity at the heart of the show. Meanwhile, Todd talks about using manga as a tool to improve his Japanese language skills, specifically mentioning Erased. In a perfect moment of synchronicity, Charles reveals that he had just finished watching the Erased adaptation that same week. Charles also shares exciting updates about how things are finally coming together between his six-month contract work and his Sunday morning gig, bringing the episode to a hopeful and uplifting conclusion. This episode is a perfect blend of gaming culture, fatherhood, fandom, humor, and heartfelt conversation.

Felicity Hannah unpacks how a week of political turmoil has hit the British economy with our Friday panel - and get the latest on Trump's visit to China. We also hear from the founder of Raspberry Pi on why British manufacturers are struggling with energy costs. Plus - why are some jewellers in hot water for mis-selling diamonds?

Sam Altman took the stand this week to defend himself and his company against a lawsuit by Elon Musk. The three-week long trial has featured some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, including Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI cofounder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. As the trial nears its end, Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott talk about why the stakes are so high and debate whether this is a case of sour grapes, or if OpenAI did actually “steal a charity” from Musk. Plus, the founder of Raspberry Pi on the future of AI and how he feels about his microcomputer being used to power AI agents such as OpenClaw.Get in touch: techpod@thetimes.co.ukProducer: Marnie DukeExecutive Producer: Priyanka DeladiaImage: Getty Hosted on Acast.

Eben Upton, founder and chief executive of Raspberry Pi, joins the Big Boss Interview to discuss artificial intelligence, British manufacturing, semiconductors and why he believes there is a growing tendency to overestimate what AI tools can currently do. AI tools are “genuinely incredible”, Upton says, and he uses them regularly himself. But he warns against assuming they remove the need for human judgment, engineering skill or technical understanding. His concern is that the current enthusiasm around AI risks creating the impression that deep technical understanding is becoming less important, when in reality the opposite may be true. Raspberry Pi itself was originally created to reverse collapsing computer science applications at Cambridge University by giving children affordable programmable computers that could encourage them to “accidentally slide into engineering”. Upton's message to young people is simple: “do more maths”. Despite advances in AI, he argues the world will need more engineers, not fewer, and describes engineering as “the most incredible job” where “they pay you money to mess about”. He also reflects on the persistence required to build successful companies, revealing that during Raspberry Pi's early years he repeatedly drifted towards other ideas before family members — particularly his wife and co-founder — pushed him back towards the business that would ultimately become one of Britain's biggest technology success stories. The interview also explores the future of British manufacturing and industrial policy. Upton argues that high energy prices are now the single biggest threat to manufacturing in the UK. Raspberry Pi designs its computers in Cambridge, builds them in Bridgend, South Wales, and carries out plastics moulding in Dudley — operations that rely heavily on automated production and energy-intensive manufacturing.Britain, he warns, risks “quietly electing to move manufacturing and heavy industry out of your country” without properly accounting for the embedded carbon emissions in imported goods. The deeper issue, in his view, is political. Upton describes Britain as suffering from a “distributed failure of will” — an inability to sustain long-term decisions across successive governments. He points to decades of indecision over Heathrow's third runway and repeated delays to nuclear power projects as examples of a country that struggles to commit to major infrastructure over time, despite possessing world-class engineering and industrial capability. The conversation also examines Raspberry Pi's decision to list on the London Stock Exchange rather than in New York. The company floated in June 2024 at a valuation of £542 million and has since grown to more than £1.3 billion. Upton reveals he initially expected to favour a US listing, but meetings with American investors changed his mind. They argued the perceived valuation premium in New York was largely a “cohort effect” and warned that a business of Raspberry Pi's size risked disappearing into the “noise floor” of the US market. Geopolitics also looms large over the semiconductor industry. Raspberry Pi's chips are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan, and Upton acknowledges the strategic risk posed by tensions around the island. However, he argues the United States cannot realistically allow access to Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing to disappear, because advanced chipmaking now underpins not only the global economy but the AI revolution itself.

On this week's show a listener asks for some help with keeping his audio in sync with his video. We also discuss how to turn off the ACR on your Smart TV. But first we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Here's What's Coming in the 2026 Apple TV Roku's Howdy Streaming Service Reaches an Estimated 1 Million Users Deal Alert! 65" TV for $238 Audio Sync in a Home Theater Byron's request for answers to some specific questions on audio sync: I'd appreciate it if you guys could provide some "guiding principles" on syncing audio in a home theater setup. I have four questions: 1. Should the AVR be the ONLY place to mess with syncing settings (when everything runs through it, including ARC)? Yes, in most cases—this is the recommended approach. Start with AVR settings at zero or Auto, enable Auto Lip Sync if available, and adjust the manual audio delay there. Avoid adjusting on the TV or sources unless you have a specific reason like a stubborn source that bypasses the AVR. Changing multiple devices creates conflicts and makes troubleshooting harder. 2. If AVR is the main adjustment point, do sources automatically stay in sync after setting it once?  Often yes, especially with Auto Lip Sync enabled and consistent sources. The AVR's delay setting (or per-input memory) applies across similar content. However: Different video formats, resolutions, SDR vs. HDR/Dolby Vision,  60Hz vs. 24p or processing modes can introduce varying delays. Some AVRs store audio delay per input, so one good setting per source/input often suffices.  3. For Fire TV Sticks, Apple TV, etc.: Do sync settings apply across all apps, or per-app? Fire TV Stick: The AV Sync Tuning (under Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio) is generally a device-wide offset. It should hold across apps for the HDMI output. Individual apps might have minor internal variations, but a global tweak usually covers most cases. Reboot the stick if sync drifts. Apple TV: No built-in manual per-app delay slider in standard settings. There's a Wireless Audio Sync calibration that uses the iPhone for measurement, which is more global. Different apps (e.g., Netflix vs. others) can sometimes show varying sync due to their decoding/processing—users often report needing AVR tweaks when switching apps. Match Frame Rate and consistent audio formats help stability.  In both cases, rely on the AVR for the heavy lifting. 4. Do higher-end AVRs allow different sync settings per input? Yes! Many mid-to-high-end models store audio delay/lip sync per input source. Examples include Denon models with "Master Audio Delay" or similar, where you can set and recall different ms offsets (often 0–500ms) for each HDMI input. This is a big convenience for multiple devices. Check your AVR manual for "Audio Delay," "Lip Sync," or "per input" settings. Additional Best Practices Minimize variables: Disable unnecessary video processing (motion smoothing, noise reduction) on the TV and AVR to reduce video latency. Use "Game" or "Pure Direct" modes where possible for lower lag. HDMI/ARC specifics: Ensure high-quality HDMI cables. eARC is better than ARC for bandwidth and sync negotiation. Power cycle everything (unplug) after big changes. Order of troubleshooting: AVR Auto Lip Sync → Manual AVR delay → Source device tweaks → TV audio delay (last). Test tools: Use built-in sync tests on your devices or YouTube "lip sync test" videos. The Most Effective ways to Circumvent Smart TV Spying Last week we talked about how your TV was spying on what you are watching. This week we discuss how to prevent that from happening. The following are the most effective ways to circumvent smart TV spying and related data collection, ranked from easiest/quickest to most thorough. These also help limit proxy network enrollment in shady apps. 1. Disable ACR Directly in TV Settings (Quickest First Step) Most brands let you turn off Automatic Content Recognition (and related ad/personalization features) without losing core picture quality. Do this on every TV: Samsung: Home button → Sidebar menu → Privacy Choices → Terms & Conditions / Privacy Policy → Uncheck Viewing Information Services (and Interest-Based Ads if present). LG: Settings → General → System → Additional Settings (or Advanced) → Turn Live Plus OFF → Also enable Limit Ad Tracking. Sony: Settings → Initial Setup → Disable Samba Interactive TV. Vizio: System → Reset & Admin → Turn Viewing Data OFF. Roku TV / Roku-based: Settings → Privacy → Smart TV Experience → Uncheck Use Info from TV Inputs. Hisense / TCL: Settings → System or Privacy → Disable Smart TV Experience or Use Info from TV Inputs. Amazon Fire TV: Preferences → Privacy Settings → Turn off data tracking options. After changing, restart the TV. Check the setting again after any software update, as it can reset. Also disable voice assistants, microphones, and cameras (cover them physically if needed). 2. Block Internet Access to the TV (Highly Effective) The simplest long-term fix: Prevent the TV from phoning home at all. Don't connect it to Wi-Fi or Ethernet in the first place. Or, on your router: Create a guest Wi-Fi just for the TV, then use firewall rules, parental controls, or MAC address blocking to stop all outbound internet traffic (while allowing local network access if you stream from a NAS/Plex/Jellyfin). Advanced: Use a tool like Pi-hole or AdGuard Home on your network to block known tracking domains. Pro tip: Many people report the TV works fine (or even faster) for HDMI inputs and local streaming when fully offline. External streaming devices handle all internet needs. 3. Use the TV as a "Dumb" Display Only Treat your smart TV like a big monitor: Connect all content via HDMI from a more private device (never use the TV's built-in apps). Recommended external boxes (in order of privacy-friendliness): Apple TV — Clean interface, minimal tracking, no aggressive ads. NVIDIA Shield or other local-media-focused devices.  Raspberry Pi or HTPC running Kodi/Plex for full local control. This bypasses the TV's OS almost entirely. 4. Go Fully "Dumb" (Most Private Long-Term Solution) Buy a true dumb TV or large computer monitor (no smart features, no Wi-Fi, no ACR). Options exist in smaller sizes or from brands like Westinghouse for basic panels. Pair it with an external streamer or your own computer/laptop via HDMI. Many privacy-focused users prefer this setup over any "smart" panel. Important reality check: Disabling ACR and blocking internet stops most viewing-data collection, but no method is 100% foolproof against every firmware trick or future update. The nuclear option—keeping the TV completely offline and HDMI-only—remains the gold standard for privacy.  

Tim Cook is stepping down in September, and The Trio has plenty of thoughts on what the Ternus era means for Apple. Kotaro dives into his embedded systems rabbit hole (Raspberry Pis, ESP32s, and a Godot refresher), while Steve sounds the AI hype alarm, comparing the current frenzy to NFTs and the Metaverse, complete with a shoe company that somehow pivoted to GPU data centers on a $50M budget. Steve's monitor saga drags on, the SpaceX/Cursor "announcement of an announcement" gets the skepticism it deserves, and The Trio wraps up with details on the May 14 IRL meetup in Philly.## Chapters00:00 Introductions05:54 Kotaro's Side Project Adventures08:29 Diving into Hardware and Embedded Systems11:17 Raspberry Pi Adventures and Microcontrollers14:02 Creating AI Projects with Raspberry Pi18:19 Exploring DIY Devices and Learning in Tech23:21 Game Development and Learning Curves24:16 AI Tools and Programming Challenges26:55 The AI Hype Update and Economic Realities36:57 Balancing AI Use in Software Development39:53 The Hype Cycle of AI and Media44:32 So Long, Time Apple, and Thanks for All the Fish!53:07 The Future of Apple in the Ternus Era56:43 Steve's Monitor Watch Update58:57 Wrap Up01:00:37 Tag## Show Notes- Tim Cook announced his retirement as Apple CEO, effective September, with hardware chief John Ternus set to take the helm.- The Trio agrees Cook grew Apple into the world's most valuable company, and the MacBook Neo might just be his most quintessential product.- Ternus is seen as more of an engineer/visionary, and Steve is cautiously hoping he'll bring more Jobs-era decisiveness to Apple's product direction.- Kotaro is deep in embedded systems this year, learning Raspberry Pi 5s and ESP32 microcontrollers the hard way (wrong cables, wrong GPIO boards, all of it).- He's built a basic AI chatbot device (think DIY Rabbit R1, hooked to Google Gemini) and is eyeing a 5-inch touchscreen home automation kiosk.- TRMNL, the E Ink dashboard device, comes up as a goal Kotaro is working toward, though the large version is sold out.- GitHub Copilot paused new signups, dropped Opus from Pro plans, and started rationing usage, which Steve reads as AI's economic reality finally catching up.- Steve puts AI hype at NFT/Metaverse levels: a shoe company pivoted to GPU data centers, and SpaceX "announced" it has the option to buy Cursor for $60B without actually buying anything.- Steve's XDR monitor watch continues: he watched a glowing review, still can't justify the price, but is eyeing the nano-texture option for his glare-heavy room.- The Trio closes with news of a PhillyCocoa IRL meetup on May 14 at the Vanguard building, featuring Kotaro on Metal shaders.## Links**Hardware & Devices**TRMNL: https://trmnl.com/ | Rabbit R1: https://www.rabbit.tech/rabbit-r1**Snazzy Labs TRMNL Review**Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWw5NKUx40o**AI Hype Update**We are near peak hype (Primeagen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAREqdtUN48SpaceX/Cursor ($60B): https://www.reuters.com/technology/spacex-says-it-has-option-acquire-startup-cursor-60-billion-2026-04-21/**One More Thing**IRL Meetup RSVP (May 14): https://luma.com/i00ll61z**PhillyCocoa:** http://phillycocoa.orgIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Bradley C If each cast member were a chapter subject of Jeremy's book, what would the chapter title be? This is what I think: Shawn- Get to the fucking end already. Aaron- It's because you're stupid and make bad decisions. Nick- It's really not that hard. Savage- It's just to assert dominance/ownership. (These are a culmination of comments Jeremy has made to each cast member. Hope that helps.) Question from Dah-Jango The D is loud Alright you beautiful dumpster fires, I've got a question with an activity. . What are your top three odd food combinations you'll put your reputation on? Bacon-wrapped shrimp is banger, but I don't think it's odd. I grew up liking peanut butter and pickle sandwiches and I always get looks like hen making it. Please answer this in a draft style so each cast member has to have 3 different picks. Then post it on social for us to vote who drafted the best. Notes: Fries in Wendy's frosty are fire. Also when did Frostys come in other flavors besides chocolate? Question from TheObviousJames I am looking into getting my first bolt action rifle. I'd like it to be a 1000yd-capable gun. My budget is around $1000, not including glass. I'm not really a hunter, so most use cases will be target shooting. What do you all think is the best all-around cartridge? 6.5 creedmoor seems like a solid choice given overall ballistics and availability, but 300 win mag seems like a good time too. Also, would I be able to put together a decent budget chassis/ barreled action build for $1000? The Howa 1500 barreled actions + KRG Bravo Chassis seems like a decent way to go. Is it worth it to go that route, or just buy something Factory? Thank you for your input. Question from Brandon What lock pick set do you guys carry or use? Something I want to get into just for knowledge and know how. Thanks Ill be listening to see if my question comes up before Aaron comes back ill know how far down in the list I am. Question from Alex S Hey so I have an AR with a commercial buffer tube. I'm looking for a stock to put on it. I originally had my eyes on the Magpul PRS lite but it is only for mil spec buffer tubes. I would really like an adjustable cheek riser and the only other option I'm seeing is a luth AR MBA-4, but like the look/function of the fixed stocks better. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
