Virus waves are exacerbated by holiday schedules. First school starts and kids are a massive disease vector. Then Thanksgiving comes and people spread it to their families and bring it back home. Then it has a month to spread and then Christmas comes.

Yeah you can see the slop in the prints when the axis stops. You can just change print settings and it won’t look the same between prints. You can also use chemicals to smooth the outside of the print.

My doctor says that you don’t want squishy shoes and he recommended doc martens because they have a cork insole.

You definitely assumed that the message you typed could be understood by a random stranger and be delivered through a series of wires and rocks that can think, and possibly sent over magical waves which cannot be seen. Maybe it’s all just your or my imagination.

- Comment on Microsoft axe another 9000 in continued AI push 1 month ago:
My favorite thing about Microsoft is that there’s no longer anyone who works there that understands the windows compiling process and internal tools. Everything is built on top of the previous version of windows going back decades.

OK, so a bittorrent tracker site with a video player built in with comments underneath and you can get perks from content creators for seeding. Then of course some kind of voting system and etc. Then a creator can just get a seed box to start hosting their own videos.

These are also on solar/battery and use cell data.
- Comment on ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows 2 months ago:
As far as I’m aware these are basically just trail cameras, they snap a photo on motion and send it over mobile data to be processed server side for ocr. They claim they can also identify make and model and anything different like bumper stickers. I wouldn’t be surprised if their object recognition is just people in India. I also suspect that their OCR is, or at least was provided through 3rd party api calls.

You could train crows to peck at them.
- Comment on ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows 2 months ago:
They use a basic is sensor to trigger the camera, they’re just a cheap trail camera that sends images when motion is detected. You could put a black sticker over the ir sensor and then they would be wondering why it’s not taking photos.
- Comment on ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows 2 months ago:
I read that glow in the dark material will trigger an ir motion sensor. So don’t plant small flags coated with glow in the dark paint across from the cameras because it will cause them to take and send thousands of useless images and make them think their camera is broken.

- Comment on Detect and crash Chromium bots with one weird trick (bots hate it!) 3 months ago:
This kind of sucks for people who have made automation scripts. It could also have consequences for site owners if it affects accessibility tools for disabled users. It could even be considered malicious under certain laws. If you use something like this you should also have an API.
