HELLO, NERDS!

Are you a Cisco expert?

If so, I'm trying to configure a Cisco ISR to initiate V.120 ISDN data calls over a PRI, initiated by a connection to a particular TCP or SSH port

I can initiate a test call, and the debug logs show the interface comes up, but I don't know how to use it

reddit screenshot from user "jdsamford" that says "Spotify talks about cracking down on โ€œfake artists,โ€ but Liz Pellyโ€™s reporting shows they also add their own ghost artists to curated playlists. These arenโ€™t real acts with fans, socials, or careers. Theyโ€™re anonymous studio projects made to fill out lean-back playlists (chill, focus, etc.), which saves Spotify from paying higher royalties to recognizable artists. So yeah, theyโ€™re policing one kind of fraud while quietly benefiting from another."

I've always wondered about the noticeable filler tracks on popular "chill" playlists, didn't realize music streaming platforms were putting them there intentionally

a commission piece about an architect building a maze made of buildings and sculptures inspired by different cultures. The artwork is vertical but can be viewed from any angle. The character is standing in the archway with a scepter. She has bright red hair and wears a white dress. The arch in the foreground is decorated with patterns and tiles. The maze shows a big range of buildings overlapping with each other and some sculptures. There are spiders made of jewels in the corners of the illustration.

Don't Get Distracted Iโ€™m going to tell you about how I took a job building software to kill people. But donโ€™t get distracted by that; I didnโ€™t know at the time.

I am also partway through a talk recommended from that one: "Don't Get Distracted: Iโ€™m going to tell you about how I took a job building software to kill people," and it's really good as well.

Defining Your Bright Lines: How to Avoid The Slippery Slope of Ethical Downfalls | Celia Swanson โ€œYou never know a line is crooked unless you have a straight one to put next to it.โ€ โ€“ Socrates Throughout my career, Iโ€™ve worked for and with many of...

Also covers not just deciding on your moral bright lines (www.celiaswanson.com/blog/2018/01...), but more importantly the fact that you need to revisit them often on your own as well as with those close to you.

anyway thank you @deviantollam.bsky.social for this excellent talk!

Really nice talk that covers questions I was obsessed with when younger but couldn't find good answers to, e.g. to what extent can you change an organization from the inside, and how do we make sure as technologists with so much power, we are not doing evil?

Today, my research group @ Georgia Tech released a paper on vulnerabilities in Tile --- the second largest device finding network after Apple's AirTags.

You can read about it in Wired, reporting by @kimzetter.bsky.social!

Sat down to eat a croissant at a kind of ~fancy~ cafe, and the group of people next to me were talking about IMSI-catchers the entire time!

It was a struggle to not burst out laughing by how shocked I was.
