The Mysterious Shortwave Radio Station Stoking US-Russia Nuclear Fears

wired.com Justin Ling 2025-12-15 04:00:00

Shortly after US president Donald Trump hung up a call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin this spring, an obscure shortwave radio channel, broadcasting from a military base somewhere in Russia, sprang to life. Through a fog of static, at 4625 kHz on the shortwave dial, a man’s voice spoke in monotone: “Nikolai, Zhenya, Tatiana, Ivan.” He repeats the message—spelled out in the Russian phonetic alphabet—followed by a series of numbers and letters. The whole message reads: “NZhTI 01263 BOLTANKA 4430 952

Apple’s refurbished store might seem like a good deal, but is that actually the case?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-12-14 22:27:54

Apple has long offered a refurbished store on its website, where it sells recent generation products at a pretty sizable discount. Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like. That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends.

Ghrc.io appears to be malicious

A simple typo of ghcr.io to ghrc.io would normally be a small goof. You’d typically get a 404 or similar error, finally work out the issue, fix it, and move along. But in this case, that typo appears to be doing something very malicious, stealing GitHub credentials.

Busy beaver hunters reach numbers that overwhelm ordinary math

But just how much harder? In 1962, the mathematician Tibor Radó invented a new way to explore this question through what he called the busy beaver game. To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav

What are OKLCH colors? OKLCH is a newer color model that is designed to be perceptually uniform. This means that colors are much more accurate in terms of how humans perceive them and it makes working with them much easier. Color Models Before being able to understand how OKLCH differs from the other color models, it is important to understand some of the basic color concepts.

A will that has been lost for more than 150 years and was at the centre of a bitter legal battle by William Shakespeare’s family over who owned the playwright’s final home has been unearthed in an unlabelled box at the National Archives. The original 1642 document was made by Thomas Nash, who was married to Shakespeare’s granddaughter Elizabeth Hall.

Iterative DFS with stack-based graph traversal (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Farlow 2025-12-11 05:09:08

Depth-first search (DFS) on a graph (binary tree or otherwise) is most often implemented recursively, but there are occasions where it may be desirable to consider an iterative approach instead. Such as when we may be worried about overflowing the call stack. In such cases it makes sense to rely on implementing DFS with our own stack instead of relying on our program's implicit call stack. But doing so can lead to some problems if we are not careful. Specifically, as noted in another blog post,
