In this talk, you will learn how Apple Silicon hardware differs from regular laptops or desktops. We'll cover how we reverse engineered the hardware without staring at disassembly but by using a thin hypervisor that traces all MMIO access and then wrote Linux drivers. We'll also talk about how upstr

Carbon nanotubes, or CNT, are being used to make products stronger, lighter, faster, and more efficient. But are they safe? A growing body of research is raising concerns over the hazards presented by some forms of the material. As ever though, the risk to health depends on who is exposed to what
The word hydra might bring up images of a multi-headed beast from Greek mythology, but it's also the name of real life animals! Hydras are hydrozoans who don't form colonies. These polyps live solitary lives which, in theory, could last forever. Yes. These animals are essentially immortal! They rege
