I am so incredibly proud and excited to have worked on bringing MTE to Apple platforms alongside a truly brilliant set of colleagues! Wahoo!! security.apple.com/blog/memory-in…

Gypsum: A Software-Defined GPS Receiver written in Python + A Writeup on How it Was Made rtl-sdr.com/gypsum-a-softw…

@tvalt__ I went with C/A because it's most represented in literature and was therefore easiest to get started with when I had no background in this, and if I were starting the project a second time I'd definitely explore CNAV.

@tvalt__ Thank you! The CNAV message definitely seems cool and worth exploring, particularly because it's encoded with the same BPSK scheme that I got comfortable with for my project.

I wrote a homebrew GPS receiver from scratch. Thanks to months of dedicated work, I can now say with confidence that I am somewhere in England! axleos.com/building-a-gps…

@yuvadm Thank you very much! I have seen GNSS-SDR (which it seems may be distinct from gnss-sdrlib?), but I haven't tried it or dug around too much. My understanding is that the former is implemented in GNU Radio blocks, which is neat.

@phillipten Awesome work! Did you ever get a chance to compare your implementation to other existing ones e.g. gnss-sdrlib?

@kooperds @tomshardware I'm using my own TrueType font renderer, so I picked a font at the intersection of "works in my renderer" and "looks good enough"

@tomshardware only thing i will say is why would you use a serif font

Someone made a functioning IRC client that runs entirely inside the motherboard's UEFI trib.al/8pgXPvA

@asynkronxyz Thank you very much! 😄

@phillipten Beautiful, and crazy at the same time. Love it.

I made an IRC Client that runs entirely in the UEFI preboot environment, without any operating system or kernel axleos.com/an-irc-client-…

I made Spatial 2048, a 3D game for the Vision Pro! You can highlight tiles with your eyes and push, pop, and merge them around. All the tiles have opalescent shaders that melt faster as the tiles increase.

@dbokser91 doomgeneric is exactly what you want, with just a couple platform shims. Here's axle's port: github.com/codyd51/axle/b…

Does anyone know of a good open source game or program where I can easily modify it to give it a frame buffer and a key event queue and get it working without too much fiddling?

@phillipten Stop It Phillip. You ARM Too Strong. Your Simulator Too Different. Your OS Too Graphical. They’ll Kill You Phillip.

I wrote about an iOS simulator I made (mine on left, Xcode on right) axleos.com/simulating-sli…

@mahal0z 🔥 to exactly reproducing the source in the sample. Well done!

Thirty years have culminated in four algorithms to approach the unsolved decompilation structuring problem. Get ready for a technical deep dive in Part 2 of my 30 years of decompilation series: mahaloz.re/dec-history-pt2

@JuEeHa Thanks for reading it, and for the heads up! I'll fix this.

@phillipten interesting read. however, your CSS seems to have a bug (I think due to use of both min-width and max-width media queries) where at exactly 1600px wide viewport the footnotes make the text unreadable

I made a new TrueType font renderer for embedding in axle’s graphics stack. I’ve published a writeup here: axleos.com/writing-a-true…

@mahal0z This was super readable and interesting, well done!

2024 is the year of the decompiler! Start your year off right by reading a post on the last 30 years of decompilation and one of its hardest problems: structuring! mahaloz.re/dec-history-pt1 Part 2 to be released next week.

@krzyzanowskim That’s really nice, thanks a lot!

@phillipten fantastic read, thank you!
