A new class of passive TEMPEST attack converts LED output into intelligible audio. Stop staring at my LEDs, my eyes are up here.
I doubt this one is terribly practical, but it is cute, and I love the name.

By integrating brain connectomics into the construction of ANN (artificial neuronal network) architectures, researchers hoped to both learn how the wiring of the brain supports specific cognitive skills, and to derive novel design principles for artificial networks. On the one side... Cool stuff.
On the other side... what could go wrong?

First, they must fully understand how the brain works, then they can begin to simulate it.

In this study, the researchers discovered a novel nano-biological effect where BP nanomaterials directly affect the core of all mitotic life as well as the cell cycle's centrosome machinery, and consequently present anticancer promise. I hope they are right.
... and it doesn't get missused or abused.

Fake news. Many "cosmic rays" have energies much higher that those reached by the LHC, but their collisions with the Earth over 4.5 billion years have yet to generate a black hole.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

And the lack of humor award goes too...

Perhaps your statement lacked that subtle component of humour known as "being funny".

Based on what I was replying to, I'll stick with lack of humor.

While numerous libraries exist to abstract away the complexities of asynchronous and concurrent programming, developers still need to drop down to lower thread-handling logic from time to time. more done background even the get in

Learning to code is no longer fit for purpose[^]
[edit]
Unfortunately this article is not available to non-subscribers. The gist is
Quote: Employers looking to hire software developers have noticed something very strange filling up their inboxes recently. Aidan Fitzpatrick, founder of one of London’s genuine technology successes Reincubate, a two times winner of the Queens Award for Enterprise, spotted it a few weeks ago. It was a new kind of job applicant.
“As first blush I was blown away by the positivity and richness of their CVs,” he says. “But it didn’t take long for patterns to emerge.” The patterns were spooky. Each applicant had created a ghostly portfolio website, created a Medium blog, and a Twitter feed, but he walked away from all of them. Their applications rarely included a covering letter. They were the product of a recent development: coding schools.
“These schools are clearly training their adult attendees to exploit pattern-matching techniques in their applications and CVs,” says Fitzpatrick. “We’ve never proceeded with one of their candidates.”
The digital bootcamps that are churning out these generic job seekers are a product of the idea that “everyone must code”. A decade ago, this gripped the chattering classes here in the UK. Without computer programming skills, parents feared that their children could no more navigate the new digital world than a blindfolded traveller could find his way around in a new and alien world.

No thanks.

You can tell the people with real experience from the recent grads by looking at their skill sets, and their recent job positions should reflect those listed skill sets.
It should be obvious that someone who lists a position was "Assistant Manager at Dairy Queen" within the last five years is not an experienced developer.

But in some places they might be hired to manage experienced developers. Workers are, after all, nothing more than "resources", are they not?

the article has no point.written as if to promote the two time winner of the "queens award" .. yes u will see lot of consumers of online academies for learning code......and soon you will find the new generation of people learning to code using Facebook,Instagram and pin interest... and YouTube.....you will find code influencers.. you can dm them to promote your JavaScript framework... code djs.. devop devas... JavaScript baristas....rust pizza maker... react doctors....sql fixers...cloud angels.....

The career path for a developer is usually pretty clear. None of the architects I've worked with seemed to suffer from it

It was clear to me:
0) Maintain an outstanding work ethic
1) Avoid specializing in any single technology
2) Try to stay relevant
3) Do it as a hobby (allows you to try new tech without corrupting production code at work)
3) Avoid the urge to introduce "cutting edge" code at work
4) Most importantly, stay out of management roles
I've been a developer for over 40 years with no management time beyond being a team lead. That's been my self-defined career path.

One of the things researchers have discovered is that there are limits to how quickly quantum information can race across any quantum device. It's not just the speed limit, it's the Lieb-Robinson bounds
