I’d assumed it’d be a seminar on RV law

Thanks! Wish we had something like this when I was a kid. The most subversive thing we had was Bullwinkle (which was fun, but a lot tamer)

Thank you. I mean, none of what you just said means anything to me and I still don’t know what monkey dust is, but I appreciate the effort.

Foothills…epidemic…cyber frontline

Must be serious – you don’t mix this many metaphors under normal circumstances.

Knives out

[ just points at all of him ]

And I’ll never understand a grandmother’s reason for doing this

I bought my current car new - over 20 years ago.

Yes and no, I think. It isn’t really huge amounts of data, and the patterns aren’t super complex, so a neural network would pick up a lot. But, given how far the signals travel, the intermittent nature of the signals, and how little they can initially be associated with a particular vehicle, I think in most environments associating a particular set of signals with a particular car would require some human field work. Sure, there are circumstances where automated pairing would be trivial (like at a toll booth), but catching signals in the wild and processing by neural net alone might be ok for analyzing traffic patterns while not being enough for surveillance.

Yeah, I don’t know what the range is for picking these signals up, but I know that the detections just scroll on and on on my laptop’s screen when there is any traffic near my house.

I never realized how chatty the world is on the radio spectrum until playing with one of these. From my house, I can see reports from half a dozen water meters (several reporting leaks), readings from wireless weather stations, signals from certain types of remotes, location data from aircraft, and of course bluetooth and wifi signals from phones and homes. The real trick in using this for tracking would be in filtering out all of the information you aren’t interested in.

Officials said Smith’s family was notified that she had been located and were informed about her request to keep her whereabouts undisclosed.

Wonder if she’ll be notified of their request for retroactive child support

Nobody has a problem with you giving the only advice on this subject that you are qualified to give. No one thinks you should say more on the subject at all. Just because you aren’t qualified to expand on what has been said doesn’t mean that you are justified in shutting down further discussion or should be immune to criticism.

I’m not saying that you should give better advice. Just don’t shit on other people for providing some nuance.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to be pedantic when death is on the line.

What AI wouldn’t know about tribbles?

Only 100x?

Thanks! Now I know what night this week will be cloudy

A San Jacinto man who authorities believe masqueraded as an employee at three Southern California hospitals and used insider knowledge to enter secure areas stole $300,000 worth of surgical equipment and skin grafts, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.

When asked for a statement, the man replied “We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.”

Well, you know what they say. Someone could shoot him on 5th Avenue and no one would care.

Perhaps you should start buying your meat from somewhere else.
