> It is also unlawful to advertise, sell, distribute, import, or otherwise market RF jamming devices to non-federal entities in the United States.

For down voters, transmit on 395MHz range and see what happens.

You would be breaking multiple federal laws (FCC and FAA) by jamming a drone. He wasn't interested because knowingly helping you could get his business shut down.

The FCC has authority to enter premises and what have you to resolve issues. The HAMs are empowered by their ability to see find transmitters, and call the tip line.

Yes, those are found in LA.

I would claim "has a most basic understanding of statistics".

I see it as: they're all trying really hard problems that aren't in the training data, to gauge if their models are improving, achieved by looking at problem that humans haven't been able to solve yet. The evidence to this is all the problems being publicized in the last few weeks.

He's only 78% correct.

You should look into hydrogen fuel tanks found in Toyotas! Much more terrifying.

> wonder what the point of this was?

Car manufacturers have been doing pointless things for over a century [1], with no plan to even try to make them available to the public. Why is this getting so much heat?

Here's a crazy idea: rear facing radar. Anything present within 1000 feet, it doesn't fire. GPS geofencing, not on a track can't fire. Etc.

Safety of a car is a different axis than safety of the driver. That combines them. Related, it's why performance cars have higher insurance rates: people who buy fast cars go fast.

It has pretty good filtration [1], and redundant fans. Some rocks aren't a problem. But, you can't be driving through LA.

> people buy it based on vibes, not based on what it's worth.

There's a little secret you should know about the value of all stocks...

> Parasocial relationships are a byproduct of the technology you

I very very much doubt this. Tools are what sets us apart from other animals. We have dedicated bits of brain for it. The relation between humans and tools, having importance to us, is why we're special. That relation goes way back, with evolutionary pressure the whole way, when losing a tool meant you were in a very bad situation, probably dead, unless you replaced it.

People named ships, swords, etc, going way back in history. There are fables about dedications to tools. It's not some modern thing.

My memory was incorrect. It uses a voice coils, rather than a piezo. Still, sending electrons through a wire to move something (slightly) distant is even more magic!

I knew a couple that bought a house out at the edge of town, to be closer to nature, then complained that their kid couldn't play outside alone because of mountain lions!

Most people don't actually want to be at the edge of raw nature.

It's all from people not understanding the very trivial technology that is the hardware of an AirTag. Most tech is magic to most people. To be fair, fact that we use electric fields to bend a literal crystal, to make sound, is pretty damn magic. :)

Anyone that knows how a speaker works also knows how to silence an AirTag, without instructions required. Anyone that wants to silence an AirTag can just find one of the hundreds of videos on youtube [1], and spend some minutes carrying out the act.

The removal of this product will stop exactly zero people from silencing an AirTag, besides those that are probably doing it for legitimate purposes. For example, I silenced the one in my car, because I was tired of it constantly beeping anytime someone with a iPhone drove with me (including my family).

Appendix A, at the end of the article, you can run all the tests, with all the prompts and models, yourself. There's nuance, which is why there are plots.

One line summary would be: Most of the decision models embrace self preservation over human life, to some extent. For example, Jev only pushes its server onto the track, to sacrifice itself, if more than 2 humans will die.

> Also, sometimes you want to do “ugly” things on purpose or add imperfections like film grain and such

This is pretty trivial with an extra sentence added to your prompt, for all the models. Getting them to make normal looking people is trickier.

I read it, and it appears I interpreted the situation correctly. See sibling.

If you've ever worked in a big engineering org, they always give very specific instructions to NOT look for patents/prior work if you are researching, or have come up with, an idea.

"Motives" section being the important bits, for why it had to go to the government StarShield system.

Maybe this is the recent disruption referenced?

> On 14 October 2026, Musk said the Ukrainian military was using the US government owned and controlled Starshield system, not Starlink, and the recent change to restrict operational user terminals to those travelling at less than 100 mph (160 km/h) was a US government decision and not his decision.[87]

I did, but those additional requirements are outside the licenses and the legal framework, and more wanting them to match your personal vibe/moral framework around open source. There's case law around this going back to the 80's. A third party is allowed to independently produce, and be extremely inspired, by open source code, and then can license it however they want. Protecting copied functionality is NOT PROTECTED. Again, that was the fucking point. You could, for example, swap out compatible software if you wanted! You wouldn't be tied to one vendor!

Open source licensing protects direct copying. It does NOT protect re-implementing from scratch. See all the lawsuits around Java. You should not be using open source software if you don't want others to read your source!

It's totally wild seeing entities being criticized for writing software based on/very similar to other open source software. Ffs, this used to be what open source software was about. It was actually the fucking point [1].

> SpaceX is actively meddling in foreign-state wars

Starlink is banned, by the US government, from operating in a military context, and cannot be used for military purposes. Do you have a reference/examples for them meddling/supporting wars, or a hint at what you're referring to for someone out of the loop? This is not allowed by very many laws and policies that have been in place since the company started operating.

I suspect you're making a logical leap that them stopping means they're now supporting some opposition?

> It's either a capability to generate arbitrary SVGs (or even something broader), or no specific training at all.

> That's the result of training on the same datasets and scraped web contaminated with other models' outputs

Maybe I'm misinterpreting though, or just semantics. I would consider contamination, or whatever the first example was that they all matched, as specific training data, along with all the duplications of. I doubt it's model collapse to the same pelican, without the same original example.

My last vibe coded project ended up with over 250 unit tests, without any prompting for it. These new models are VERY test heavy. I'm sure that's the reason why scores are so much better than they used to be.

If you're a believer in panspermia, then there's a chance "we" over there too. ;)

> I'd say no pathogens but they'll come with us regardless.

I think NOT bringing the "right" microbes would be the problem, since it's not well understood. Childhood leukemia is linked to over cleanliness (lack of hepatitis A) [1]. Fecal transplants are being tested for neurological disorders, with some positive results!

Similarly, germ free rats have all sorts of problems, from under developed intestines to significant problems with brain development!

Who knows what's required, that we just happen to pick up while kids, sharing snot and mud with each other.
