- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 23 hours ago:
Yeah this is something a well trained neural network would make simple though. So long as you have the processing power, and enough storage.
I’d imagine you’d be able to purchase some identifying information from data brokers and eventually link ids to people or families.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 1 day ago:
No they aren’t. Out of curiosity I setup an rtlsdr and connected it via RTL-HAOS to my home assistant server.
The antenna is in the middle of my house and over the last month I have logged over 200 different tire pressure sensor id’s
- Comment on China claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton 1 day ago:
It does have some surfaces that look like they could produce lift.
Traveling fast enough it could probably lose thrust and “land” horizontally… Until the legs grab and it tumbles.

Or just preprogram the commands before installing and let it run autonomously.

I respond to the “are you free?” With “No, I charge $200/hr”

- Comment on Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first? 5 weeks ago:
Wow… That’s now how that works at all.
More weight in the center/rear means it spins faster when the tipping point of the slide is reached, and that tipping point is sooner as the end sliding has more momentum than that of a front engined vehicle.
- Comment on The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill 5 weeks ago:
The cost of producing gas definitely went up. It’s just subsidized more from everyone’s taxes.
- Comment on Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error 1 month ago:
This also ignores the fact that the person in the car the second time XM3 5D9 was spotted is not necessarily the same person in the car the first. So one could easily false accuse.

Just because a match goes out doesn’t mean it won’t burn.
Also a tank keeps the oxygen level low.
Pour some in a cup. Then present a lit torch (not British torch) to the top of the diesel.
Unless it’s way too cold out, it’ll light up.
- Comment on Wunscherfüllung 1 month ago:
This is only if you’re talking absolute pressure.
At one atmosphere in air, diesel will burn. It just won’t self ignite.
- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 1 month ago:
That’s just exponentials coming into play. Area vs mass.
A micrometeorite can sure fuck up an astronaut at orbital velocities.

It’s all about the joules imparted.
A small enough rock going fast enough is just as deadly as a large one traveling slower.

At this point, Florida should also be on that list.
- Comment on Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI 2 months ago:
Agreed. And the search engines returning AI generated pages masquerading as websites with real information is precisely why I spun up a searXNG instance. It actually helps a lot.

Trains don’t benefit much from lesser weight.
Drones, and planes are the most likely to benefit from this.

One single plant, cloned thousands of times. Easily devastated by disease.
- Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums. 4 months ago:
I’m pretty convinced that if we did have a complete grid failure, we would be able to complete a cold start.
Too many people would be pushing for their section to be started first so they could short the market first.
