Repeat After Me


Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker handed indefinite hospital order
Dec 2023, BBC News

The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking and carried out his most infamous hack.

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.



Transparent brain implant can read deep neural activity from the surface
Jan 2024, phys.org

Transgenic mice don't be afraid:

The implant is a thin, transparent and flexible polymer strip that conforms to the brain's surface. The strip is embedded with a high-density array of tiny, circular graphene electrodes, each measuring 20 micrometers in diameter. Each electrode is connected by a micrometers-thin graphene wire to a circuit board. In tests on transgenic mice, ...

Why it's non-invasive:

"The neural network model is trained to learn the relationship between the surface electrical recordings and the calcium ion activity of the neurons at depth," said Kuzum. "Once it learns that relationship, we can use the model to predict the depth activity from the surface."
