THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
This week in 1988, a re-release of the Simple Minds single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #100 (December 27)
One of the classic soundtrack singles in 80s movie history…
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" was written by the producer Keith Forsey and the guitarist Steve Schiff while they were writing the score for the blockbuster 1985 John Hughes coming-of-age film “The Breakfast Club”.
Forsey and Schiff were inspired by the scene in which Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson’s characters bond while no one else is watching.
Forsey said, "It was: don't forget, when we're back in the classroom, you're not just a bad guy and we've got other things in common."
Schiff and Forsey were Simple Minds fans and wrote the song with the band in mind, but the band declined, and it was offered to several other artists, including Bryan Ferry, Billy Idol and Cory Hart, before Simple Minds agreed to record it.
According to the Simple Minds frontman Jim Kerr, Simple Minds were reluctant to record the song as they felt they should only record their own material.
They also were frustrated that their attempts to find success in the US market had not found significant radio airplay, and did not see how recording the song would change this.
Simple Minds eventually relented though, after persuasion from their label A&M, and from Chrissie Hynde, Kerr's wife at the time, and also after receiving a phone call from Forsey in which he went on to Kerr about how much he loved the band.
The band then allegedly "rearranged and recorded 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' in three hours in the north London studio and promptly forgot about it," believing that it would be a throwaway song on the soundtrack to a forgettable movie.
How wrong they were…
The reality was that the song (and the movie) both became inextricably-linked, massive, enduring worldwide hits!
In addition to topping the charts in the US, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” also peaked at #1 in Canada, #2 in the Netherlands and Belgium, #3 in New Zealand, Ireland and Italy, #4 in Germany, #5 in Austria, #6 in Australia, #7 in the UK, #8 in Switzerland, #10 in South Africa, and #13 in Sweden.

Tried to learn while making my own project, and ended up getting stuck and confused. So I decided to go back being a beginner again because I had no idea how does SwiftUI works.
I'm currently working on the #100DaysOfSwiftUI, and I just finished the 23th day of the tutorial. I just wrote at the this day because it's the first time that I need to accomplish it for 2 days, including the optional.
Man, my mind keeps saying "Come on, man. I want to end this reading stuff ASAP. I felt shit for not grasping this thing faster than the previous days.".
But today, I finally understand that the first part of how SwiftUI works technically.
You're doing God's work, @npub1fd5x...8k30.

# bunnie's piggyback hack ([permalink][9])
If Andrew "bunnie" Huang didn't actually exist, I'd swear he was a character out of a(n extraordinarily technologically well-informed) cyberpunk novel. Every time I interact with this legendary hardware hacker, he blows my mind with some incredible project or insight that permanently alters how I think about technology.
I first met bunnie when he came to EFF for help with the threats he'd received from Microsoft. At the time, bunnie was an electrical engineering grad student at MIT, and he'd taken the bootloader locks on the new Xbox platform as a personal affront and challenge. He applied his prodigious skill and talent to these digital handcuffs, and in short order, he had broken the Xbox and installed Linux on it. MIT's general counsel immediately washed its hands of any responsibility to defend this young grad student from bullying by a corporate monopolist, hanging him out to dry. So he turned to us – and we got his back. You can read all about it in *Hacking the Xbox*, his canonical work about hardware hacking and technological freedom (it's free!):
[https://bunniefoo.com/nostarch/HackingTheXbox_Free.pdf][10]
In the many years since, I've been lucky enough to count bunnie as a friend, colleague and comrade, albeit one I only physically run into every year or so, usually at some tech event or on the playa at Burning Man, where he still camps with the MIT crew at The Institute.
I just got to see bunnie in person again, over Christmas week at the Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg. He gave a late-night presentation with his collaborator Sean "xobs" Cross, entitled "Xous: A Pure-Rust Rethink of the Embedded Operating System":
[]
Don't let the technical-sounding title intimidate you! This was a banger of a talk, and as with every bunnie Huang production, it left a pleasant and persistent aftertaste.
The background for this talk is bunnie's obsession with building a trustworthy computer. For decades, bunnie has been chasing the dream of a computer whose every component – operating system, drivers, firmware, *and hardware designs* – are open to inspection. Bunnie's reasoning here is that anything that can't be inspected (and, by extension, modified) by its users is a spot where bad guys can hide bad stuff, and where lurking bugs can fester until they are exploited by bad guys. Remember the spectacular (and still mysterious) claims that Apple's servers had all been compromised with minuscule hardware bugs? The single best explanation of that you will find comes from bunnie:
[]
Bunnie was doing all this before there was an "open source hardware" movement, and he remains at its vanguard. His "Precursor" project is a reference hardware platform where *every* component is open to inspection and modification, from the chassis to the random number generator:
[https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/category/betrusted/precursor/][13]
One area of especial concern and interest for bunnie is the promise and peril of the "system-on-a-chip" (SoC). This is exactly what it sounds like: a cheap chip that incorporates everything you need to do full-fledged computing, including interfaces and drivers for networks, screens, peripherals, etc. SoCs are ubiquitous. You find them in things like individual car engine components and inkjet printer cartridges, and each one is a whole-ass computer, capable of running some really ugly malware.
As bunnie explained back in 2020, there are two problems with SoCs: first, they are packaged such that the silicon traces inside of them can't be readily inspected, and second, they are so expensive to fabricate that someone like bunnie can't possibly come up with the millions needed to make an open, trustworthy, inspectable alternative:
[]
That's where bunnie's CCC talk comes in. The chips that SoCs are etched upon have *lots* of space (relatively speaking – we're talking about nanometer-scale circuits, after all). Even after an SoC designer packs in a ton of extra traces to handle oddball applications, the chip is still mostly "dark matter" – blank silicon.
The first half of bunnie and xobs's talk concerns itself with "Xous," a secure operating system for an SoC, written in Rust. But the *second* half of the talk tackles the problem of procuring an SoC that you can trust to run Xous on. That's where this dark matter comes in.
Bunnie's day-job is consulting on extremely gnarly, high-stakes, high-value hardware design and manufacturing, so naturally, he's got lots of clients and contacts in the SoC manufacturing world. He approached one of these companies with a proposal: let me tape out *a whole separate chip* that fits in the dark matter for one of your upcoming chips. Adding these traces adds virtually no cost to the production, and adding bunnie's chips to the production run actually *saves* the manufacturer money, because the prices drop when the quantities increase.
The idea is to put two chips on the chip, and badge most of them with the OEM's branding, while a small rump of the chips will have bunnie's branding (he calls it the Baochip). On bunnie's chips, the traces to the OEM chip will be physically cut, meaning that the Baochips will just be Baochips – the original chip will be inaccessible and unusable.
What's more, bunnie didn't just fit *one* chip into the OEM's "dark matter" – he fit *five separate, specialized SoCs* into the unused space. Remember, the beauty of SoCs is that once they're taped out and sent to production, the cost of an actual chip is peanuts, meaning that these Baochips are cheap as hell.
Even better: the traces on these chips are scaled to be readily inspected using relatively low-cost equipment, meaning that many parties around the world can grab one of these chips, stick it in a machine, and compare the traces on the chip to the free, open sourcefile that was used to produce it, confirming that there are no nasty surprises lurking inside.
This was *such* an exciting talk, and as I sat through it, I had this nagging feeling that it reminded me of something else I'd learned about years before, though I couldn't quite place it. Finally, as bunnie and xobs were stepping off the stage, I had it – it reminded me of *another* bunnie talk I'd seen – this one at The Institute, the MIT Burning Man camp, more than a decade prior.
Back in 2015, bunnie designed and built a set of really cool, wearable radio-linked badges for his campmates, which would help them locate one another on the playa at night. These badges were really cool – they used a genetic algorithm to "have sex" with one another and mutate their color patterns. Bunnie even worked in a "consent" mechanism!
[https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/2015/sex-circuits-deep-house/][15]
But the really cool part that stuck with me was the manufacturing story. Bunnie wanted to fabricate custom injection-molded plastic enclosures for these pendants, but injection molding – like chip design – is a mass production phenomenon, with sky-high setup costs and incredibly cheap per-unit costs thereafter.
So (and this might sound familiar) bunnie reached out to a die-maker that he worked with in China and said, "Hey, the next time you're contracted to mill out a die for a client, let me know if there's any extra space on the face of the die, and I'll provide you with a shapefile you can carve out of this 'dark matter.'" This doesn't add any cost to the die setup, and it means that bunnie can run just a couple dozen injection-molded, custom cases at a cost of pennies per unit.
I grabbed bunnie later that night and mentioned this old Burning Man project to him and he said, "You know, I haven't ever thought of it, but you're right, there's definitely a throughline between the two projects."
I asked him what he called this technique and he shrugged and said he didn't really have a name for it, but he thought of it as "piggybacking," which seems like a good name to me.
It seems to me that these two kinds of manufacturing can't be the only ones that can be "piggybacked" onto. That's what motivated me to write this post – to get people thinking about these high-setup/low-unit cost production types that might be piggybacked for small batch, delightful projects like bunnie's.
Well, that, and just to do one of my periodic bunnie Huang appreciation posts. If there's one person that I'd recommend people pay more attention to, it's him. He's also a *terrific* communicator, and an indecently great writer. My readers might be familiar with him thanks to the afterword he contributed to *Little Brother*:
[https://craphound.com/littlebrother/download/][16]
More recently, he wrote a fantastic intro for last year's *Science Comics Computers: How Digital Computers Work*, a brilliant middle-grades graphic novel that uses steampunk dinosaurs to explain digital logic and the building blocks of computation:
[]
He also co-authored a fascinating research paper with Edward Snowden, after the two of them collaborated on a daughter-board that spots otherwise untraceable malware:
[https://assets.pubpub.org/aacpjrja/AgainstTheLaw-CounteringLawfulAbusesofDigitalSurveillance.pdf][18]
Again, my readers will recognize this as a gimmick from my 2020 novel *Attack Surface* (a *Little Brother* novel for adults):
[https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250757517/attacksurface/][19]
That's not bunnie's only sweet hardware hack, of course. Check out the insanely clever design for a contact-tracing dongle he prototyped for the EU in 2020:
[]
But really, you owe it to yourself to read bunnie at book length, and his best book is 2016's *The Hardware Hacker*, a tour-de-force, lay-friendly exegesis on the theory and practice of hardware hacking:

THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
The incomparable David Bowie was born David Robert Jones in London, England, on this day in 1947 ( January 8 )
Bowie has been one of the most creative, enduring forces in rock history, and a man who always seemed to be ahead of his time musically, constantly exploring, pushing the boundaries and re-inventing himself as an artist.
His career is littered with groundbreaking songs like “Space Oddity”, “Life on Mars”, “Starman”, “Ashes to Ashes”, “Changes”, “Ziggy Stardust”, “Fame”, “Heroes”, “Fashion”, “Young Americans”, “Cat People (Putting out Fire)”, and his collaboration with Queen, “Under Pressure”.
He stopped touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide made him one of the best-selling music artists of all time, the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century, winning no less than six Grammy Awards.
Four of his songs are included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list includes five Bowie albums, and on their 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list, Rolling Stone includes seven Bowie songs:
"Heroes” at #23, "Life on Mars?" at #105, "Space Oddity" at #189, "Changes" at #200, "Young Americans" at #204, "Station to Station" at #400, and "Under Pressure" at #429.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
Rolling Stone named him among the greatest artists in history and – after his death – called him the "greatest rock star ever".
On 10 January 2016, Bowie passed away from liver cancer in his New York City apartment, aged 69.

THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
On this day in 1977, the 10cc single “The Things We Do For Love” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #86 ( January 8 )
The single was the band’s first release after the departure of co-founders and creative songwriting team Godley and Creme.
In a Songfacts interview with 10cc bass player Graham Gouldman, he talked about writing this song with the band’s guitarist Eric Stewart:
“When we started writing that, we had some of the music and he wanted to write a song about suicide," Gouldman said.
“I told him that was not a good idea and fortunately he agreed.
He came up with the title 'The Things We Do For Love,' which is very up and a great title really. What are the things we do for love? What do you do? What should we do for love?"
The lyric was based on Stewart's real-life experience. "I remember walking through the rain and the snow when I lived in Manchester and we didn't have a telephone," he said in a BBC Radio Wales interview.
#I had to go and find a phone box to ring the girl who was about to become my wife. The phones were down, and it was snowing, and these, these vivid pictures are there.
If you put them in a song, a lot of people identify with a similar situation."
It turned out lots of people did, as the song became a hit around the world, going all the way to to #1 in Canada, #2 in Ireland, #5 in the US and Australia, #6 in the UK, and #13 in the Netherlands.
This is the only 10cc song released in both the UK and the USA to chart higher in the US than the UK.
The track was later included on 10cc’s 1977 album “Deceptive Bends”.
