"This article charts the privacy–public safety debate with a focus on its relevance to a sound philosophical, legal and ethical position on E2EE for Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal system ... Ultimately, Aotearoa New Zealand should adopt a technologically and legally defensible position rather than enacting emotionally clouded emergency legislation in the wake of a crisis exacerbated by E2EE."

When is a synth a woodwind? When it’s a Pneumatone
Ever have one of those ideas that’s just so silly, you just need to run with it? [Chris] from Sound Workshop ran into that when he had the idea that became thePneumatone: a woodwind instrument that plays like a synth.
In its 3D printed case, it looks like a giant polyphonic analog synth, but under the plastic lies a pneumatic heart: the sound is actually being made by slide whistles. We always thought of the slide whistle as a bit of a gag instrument, but this might change our minds. The sliders on the synth-box obviously couple to the sliders in the whistles. The ‘volume knobs’ are actually speed controllers for computer fans that feed air into the whistles. The air path is possibly not ideal– there’s a bit of warbling in the whistles at some pitches– but the idea is certainly a fun one. Notes are played by not blocking the air path out the whistle, as you can see in the video embedded below.
Since the fans are always on, this is an example of a drone instrument,like bagpipes or the old hacker’s favourite,the hurdy gurdy. [Chris] actually says in his tip– for which we are very thankful– that this project takes inspiration not from those projects but from Indian instruments like the Shruthi Box and Tanpura. We haven’t seen those on Hackaday yet, but if you know of any hacks involving them,please leave a tip.

New blog post "Ready lists", 11011110.github.io/blog/2025/0… and new arXiv preprint "Decremental Greedy Polygons and Polyhedra Without Sharp Angles", arxiv.org/abs/2507.04538
By a ready list, I mean a data structure like a stack or queue that collects newly added items and then gives them back to you one at a time, but where you don't care what order you get them back in. Surprisingly many basic algorithms can work with these in place of anything more constrained; the theory behind why they work involves antimatroids.
The preprint is on using this idea to solve an abstract optimization problem of finding subsets maximizing the minimum quality of any element, where the quality of an element within a subset decreases or stays the same when you remove other elements. To make this more concrete, the attached image shows an example: finding a polygon in a set of points whose sharpest angle is as large as possible.
Decremental Greedy Polygons and Polyhedra Without Sharp Angles
We show that the max-min-angle polygon in a planar point set can be found in time $O(n\log n)$ and a max-min-solid-angle convex polyhedron in a three-dimensional point set can be found in time $O(n^2)$.arXiv.org
Morning All 💕
Well, that sleep was disappointing. You'd think after a 26km walk across hills, I deserved more than a bare 5 hours
Oh well, coffee, it is then 🤷🏼♀️
Here's a link to a 15-minute video I recorded while pausing for my sandwich at the most beautiful spot on the way up a valley I hadn't explored before. The trail followed a mountain stream, broken by a series of small waterfalls on the ascent to its source 😘
Love ya 💗

fren went to gp with massive chest infection
"started coughing while he listened to my chest, and of course while i was coughing i farted, and while i was trying to apologise i farted again"
“well, at least now you are geriatric you’ve got an excuse…”
she is the gassiest person i’ve ever met. somedays i wonder if she caused the climate crisis all by herself.
"Absurd size" is 100% true!
There's no need and no room for stupidly large vehicles and they're a danger to everything in their vicinity.

"I have been suspended from my high school for challenging a federal minister about his continued support for Israel and the genocide in Palestine.
I am a year 11 student at Coburg High in Melbourne, and Assistant Minister for Defence Peter Khalil visited our school this week. When I saw him on my way to class, I asked him about the government’s continued support for the Israeli government as it carries out genocide.."
