Pwnd Blaster: Hacking your PC using your speaker without ever touching it

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: In my last post, I talked about reverse engineering my new Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X's firmware.What initially started as simply wanting to write a Linux tool for communicating with my speaker ended up with me discovering vulnerabilities which allow any attacker within a ~15M range of any Katana V2X to turn it into a covert spying tool and Rubber Ducky - all without ever having to pair with or physically touch the device.CTprotocol backgroundAs I explained in my previous post, the Katana V2X is…

Recovering Eric Graham’s 1987 Amiga Juggler raytracer source code

🔥 Read this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: AlphaPixel often gets involved with modernizing and updating old performance and graphics code. Sometimes that means client work under NDA. But sometimes it means a fun side quest in the mystical realms of curiosity, preservation, and the practical problem of getting old data into a form that can be read and used on a current machine. Today let's talk about Amiga Juggler ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpt_3D ). The Juggler animation was ground-breaking and Earth-shattering. Even the Amiga's creaators (Commodore) didn't believe it had been made on an…

The Unreasonable Redundancy of Nature’s Protein Folds

🚀 Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Arda Goreci · May 20, 2026 Over the last few years, deep neural networks have made generative language modeling dramatically more powerful, giving us large language models. A similar leap happened for continuous modalities like images and videos. Recently, similar techniques have been applied to the generative modeling of biomolecules with great success. Models such as DeepMind's AlphaFold3 made it much easier to predict biomolecular interactions, including drug-protein and antibody-protein complexes, and soon after people figured out how to re-purpose these capabilities to design drug-like…
