Looks really cool. Got me back to my old TV days.
tesnorindian··on Jailbreaking my car's navigation system just so I can change the time
I think these guys have a clock for logging and warranty purpose.
tesnorindian··on Jailbreaking my car's navigation system just so I can change the time
How does DST work with GNSS PNT signal? The international atomic time and GPS time does not have DST built in. That offset of 120 was for DST or lack of tz data? Do we still need DST in this AI era?

A cheap RTC clock chip would have costed a few cents, but Car manufacturers depend on GNSS timing for insurance purposes.

tesnorindian··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
You can ask Astra to study 2 or more models and ask it to import their layers to the Qwen model. With this will it not gain more than what it learned with RL?
tesnorindian··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
Can we ask Astra to find if any open weights model is secretly distilled from frontier AI models as claimed by BigTech AI labs using this open neural weights surgery technique?

Did this weight space programming break any other skills of the Qwen model being operated? Should the small open weights models be now protected from frontier beast models?

tesnorindian··on NavIC RNSS Is Back
With the launch of NVS-3 satellite on the IGSO orbit by ISRO, the total number of satellites on the constellation has gone to 4 (3 GEO and 1 IGSO) bringing NavIC back to life for PNT signalling.
tesnorindian··on Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes
India please kindly follow. Indians peeing on the roads should be put in the prisons for life.
tesnorindian··on Chennai Autorickshaw Live GPS Meter
Cool. This is fixed.
tesnorindian··on Chennai Autorickshaw Live GPS Meter
Indian state Tamil Nadu's Government has revised the auto rickshaw (tuk tuk) fares after 13 years. The Government has given 6 months time for the auto owners to recalibrate the meters to the latest fare.

The above HTML5 SPA is a Live GPS Meter with the revised fare hikes.

tesnorindian··on Genie 4
If AR Headsets are supported by Genie 4, it would be mind blowing. But latency would be a bottleneck to get there.

Real time AV testing would be one of the better use case before AVs are released on the roads.
tesnorindian··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
What will happen to fine grained complexity if ETH is false? So there will be a solution for the Clique problem? So our social networks will evolve differently after this?
tesnorindian··on Vazhaipoo Vadai – Banana Flower Recipe
This is really good for your health.
tesnorindian··on IBM CEO says open weight models are now good and cheap on-prem
How good will be the business of dealing with 2nd hand GPUs for open weights model in the future? What will the AI labs do with their GPUs once they are beyond their EOL? Can somebody please advise?

I was able to get this related article

tesnorindian··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
Let's Encrypt collapsed their TLS business even before this incident?

uv should be your friend.
tesnorindian··on Compromised LiteLLM 1.107.0 on PyPI Installs a Credential Stealer and Backdoor
Earlier it was eMudhra and now BerriAI's internal failure? AI usage is both a boon and a bane. Shortsightedness due to continuous AI usage?
tesnorindian··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
DANE too has its own issues with most of the root DNS servers hosted within US. Unless ICANN is not moved to UN ITU, DANE is not going to pickup.
tesnorindian··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
India is more impacted from this incident than the West. Wondering did Mythos found this and informed Mozilla about this? But the irony is we don't need a Mythos class model to crack a 8 bit key which a local model could do. eMudhra is having bad days.
tesnorindian··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
This CA business is a scam. You cannot buy trust with money.
tesnorindian··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
eMudhra is a vital CA issuing certificates for Indian Govt and PSU sites. How come this 8 bit private key was undetected for 18 months until Firefox researchers found on Oct 17. Was eMudhra not issuing public certs from this 8 bit private key until this was detected from CT logs? Is this really a human error or some kind of a foul play?

Does it support Jev like schema for classification request? Though the article confirms "classification requests".
tesnorindian··on Nobel Prize in Physics 2026: Francis Halzen
IceCube observatory is for studying the high energy cosmic neutrinos from a distant galaxy or black holes. But the one proposed INO is to study the low and medium energy atmospheric neutrinos. INO was designed to study the mass ordering of neutrinos. Both observatories are for studying different aspects and properties of neutrinos and are not the same.

tesnorindian··on Nobel Prize in Physics 2026: Francis Halzen
As we celebrate the IceCube neutrino detector for wining this year Nobel Prize in Physics, people in my country India should feel lost for missing the opportunity to setup INO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India-based_Neutrino_Observato...)

Curious to know which SOTA Frontier model did they use? Or an open weights model?

IANA and ICANN should be moved under UN ITU from a non profit, so that they don't make breaking changes without approval.
