On top of gunshot locators, there's other fancy stuff, like tracking car motions through the RFID chips in EZcard in NYC. Tinfoil hatters worry about RFID chips tire manufacturers embed in there to track their inventory since they could also be used there.

There's also references to using license plate recognition (p.23-24) to do geo-fencing and correlation of traffic patterns in some areas with crimes such as drug trafficking, and similarly correlating with social media. There's some pretty fancy stuff out there.

This is just incredible. You think it can't get any better than the screenshot in that tweet, but then, by the end of the thread the guy has changed everything to using VirtualAlloc with undocumented protection flags and the main loop uses goto and relies on throwing a read exception when it reaches the end of the buffer because the loop counter was too inefficient to sound good.

https://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=pcaudio&m=119543&p=1

quote:

the last change I made was something called use of MFC, I thought the setting I chose was an improvement, but after extended listening it became apparent something wasn't right - too strident which is always a sign something is stressed. So went back and tried the settings again and the best one is use mfc in a static library. so have rebuilt it and uploaded the new version which has a more balanced sound. Hopefully that is it as far as setting changes go.

quote:

of course, the best page protection for sound quality is no page protection, found an undocumented setting which seems to remove page protection, it has transformed the sound anyway and sounds better than every other setting, but doesn't allow data to be written so must be set after the data load.

The other thing I tried was profile guided optimisation which has lifted the performance to a level I just couldn't have believed was possible.

I am now hearing a lot more coughs and off stage noises in live recordings than I heard before eg MJQ the last concert - summertime track. Overall the performance is on another level.

quote:

Also making the loop a while x > 0 and decrementing the counter at the end using --x helps (1 cpu tick). Does a while loop sound better than a for loop ? there's something to ponder. Also changing the time to INFINITE in the WaitForSingleObject(hNeedDataEvent, INFINITE); statement means we don't require an additional counter, although it's bad practice.

i was listening to a podcast about ridiculous military spending and waste, and probably the best one (outside of someone trying to pilfer a bunch of 55" TVs or setting a bunch of 55" TVs on fire with jet fuel) was a wearable pack that can do sniper triangulation.

tanks/apcs/armored whatevers have equipment that can do the math to find where gunshots are coming from etc; however, some brilliant dumbass at lockheed or something was like "what if we made it mobile!?" the military procured a bunch of these things and they're heavy and you have a giant backpack with a microphone and antenna on it and when you're under sniper fire, you stand still because it only does relative positioning.

so the "GeForce Experience" application shipped with all nvidia drivers includes a copy of node.js and it can be used for all kinds of fun things

quote:

During a quick research in a different area, I came across a system which had NVIDIA drivers installed. The following executable gets installed by NVIDIA:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\NVIDIA Corporation\NvNode\NVIDIA Web Helper.exe
This is a renamed version of node.js (but signed by NVIDIA Corporation) which can be verified via the meta data of the file:

That means we can find node.js on systems with NVIDIA drivers installed. Since this file is already on the system and it has a valid signature, it will be whitelisted by the application whitelisting solution.
[...]
Writing malware completely in node.js has the great side-affect, that NVIDIA already installs addons with useful functions such as:

WebcamEnable (NvSpCapsAPINode.node)
ManualRecordEnable (NvSpCapsAPINode.node)
GetDesktopCaptureSupport (NvSpCapsAPINode.node)
SetMicSettings (NvSpCapsAPINode.node)
RecordingPaths (NvSpCapsAPINode.node)
CaptureScreenshot (NvCameraAPINode.node)

However, to get the full power of the Windows API, we can write addons in C/C++ for node.js:

luckily geforce experience is a completely optional piece of poo poo nobody should have installed anyway.

unfortunately, it installs by default, because spyware included with your driver is a thing people will just let you do and cheer for you when you're nvidia
