HN discussionI guess my comments make it sound like I don't appreciate this type of work; I absolutely do. An old friend of mine[1] was responsible for the first 3d support in the vmware svga driver, so this is a space I have been following for literally decades at this point. I just think it should be the objective of vendors to offer actual GPU virtualization first and to support paravirtualization as an optimization in the ca…

HN discussionSpeaking of homemade RFID tags, a couple impressive hacks. 1. Micah Elizabeth Scott built a working RFID tag using just two parts: an ATTiny85 micro controller and a small inductor. The two leads of the inductor are soldered directly to two I/O pins of the processor. That is the only connection to the processor. The power and ground pins are not connected. The processor gets power via leakage current from the I/O pi…

HN discussionPretty. I had obviously expected that, but the large number of reflective surfaces [1] greatly reduces the performance. The author explained in the blog post [2] that it is a path tracing (Monte Carlo simulation of multiple random rays incrementally averaged) and probably it is hard to limit the number of bounces small while maintaining the image quality. Indeed, the source code [3] says a hard limit of 1000 bounces…

HN discussion> But taking advantage of that feature requires a five-figure-priced JTAG debugger Reading RAM in a running system (even a "hardened" one) is easier than most think. Micah Elizabeth Scott's work on the Nintendo DSi [1] is an excellent example: with a budget of just $500 and a month or two of work [2] she could read a video stream out of RAM as it was being DMAed to/from the camera [3]. I can't even begin to describe…
