Welcome to the party google. At graphmasters we have been doing this with nunav for more than 13 years now.

In Europe you could use NUNAV, which does collaborative routing to avoid this scenario (I work for the company that develops it).

Nice article. I ran into similar issues when optimizing some code. After looking at a lot of cpu profs I found that llms can be quite powerful, to quickly do micro benchmarks and experiment with potential performance improvements. A lot of dead ends but I found some 10%-20% improvements that way.

As discussed in the video they are not resetting the packet sequence number though, making it easy to match them with the other data transmitted.

They are doing it with the standard WIFI receiver. Currently they are sending the Wireshark dumps to a backend for processing.

According to their presentation they are working on a rust firmware to do everything on the board.

Fully agree. That's the most interesting thing about this.

Maybe not exactly what you meant but it reminded me about the following: When one of our apple servers failed a decade ago and just vomitted out walls of error logs too fast to read anything,the apple support guy we called took his smartphone and made some photos to read and fix the error.

IBM / Hofstede has a lot of studies on this.

My best was 5000:1 by updating the outdated SQLite in one of the companies' products.

I found that we were hit by a bug that was fixed 6 years before I discovered it (https://sqlite.org/src/info/6f2222d550f5b0ee7ed). Sqlite's query planner assumed that a field with a not null constraint can never be null, which isn't the case for the right hand table in a left join.

To ensure that the monkey of a monkey test (an emulated user doing random taps) cannot do all possible actions.

https://books.google.nl/books?id=68BZEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA96&lpg=PA... "Bruce grew the lab over the years from an initial set of seven devices to more

than 400. He said there were some unanticipated problems to resolve over that time. "One day I walked into the monkey lab to hear a voice say, '911-What's your emergency?" That situation resulted in Dianne adding a new function to the API, isUserAMonkey(), which is used to gate actions that monkeys shouldn't take during tests (including dialing the phone and resetting the device)."

Just read an article about one of these in the local newspaper.

They currently have some challenges with bureaucracy, at least in Austria:

Given that it is an industrial facility it has to be secured from unauthorized access, but as it is a field, it has to be accessable to small animals. So now it is fenced with barbed wire on the top but it's open at the bottom.

Just because this stuck with me: Viktor Frankl once wrote that meaning in life is not a Rorschach test (i.e. has to be made up) but rather a puzzle picture ("Vexierbild", is already there and has to be found).

I don't think this contradicts what you wrote, though.

As it's not mentioned yet: log2ram already helped a lot in my tiny pi-hole setup.
