Getting ready to unleash a barrage of tiny weapons.

Do post again if you figure it out!
I was noticing that the article only quoted the police statement, would be great to read other accounts / see video. I trust BPD a little more than ICE, and yet.
I'd never heard of tie-on pockets. Cool!
Shut it down! Shut it down!
In so much danger he didn't even drop his phone.
Her wife, Becca Good, stands nearby, recording as well.
Her wife WATCHED HER GET MURDERED by Jonathan Ross? What a blood curdling nightmare.
And PTSD that would make him especially unsafe in escalated situations?
But part of the issue is that, as with any computer system, you have to control the inputs and anticipate the abuse. With a very bounded system, you can almost keep up. With LLM bots, there's just no way to prepare a check for every creative way humans can be disgusting.
If you went to a human illustrator and asked for that, you would (hopefully) get run out of the room or hung up on, because there's a built in filter for 'is this gross / will it harm my reputation to publish,' based on years of human interaction and behavioral feedback, or maybe even some inherent morals.
The AI picked through the pictures taken by the drone pilots pixel by pixel, looking for anything that might look out of place on the mountainside. The software identified dozens of potential anomalies from a large number of photographs in a matter of hours.
The selection, however, still needed to be whittled down with some human expertise.
"The software could react to different things, like a piece of plastic garbage or an unusually coloured rock," says Isola. "It can even hallucinate some things. So, we still had to narrow it down further by taking into consideration the path that Ivaldo, as a very skillful climber, might have used."
Interesting process. "AI" as a term gets so overused, but in this instance I think they're really talking about image neural net processing.
This other one mentioned sounds like just image processing:
Other software that searches for unusually coloured pixels in natural landscapes – developed by the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association in the UK – has been used to locate the body of a missing hillwalker in Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands in 2023.
Or is it ML, not AI?
The key is to keep training the machine learning systems that power these algorithms to improve their accuracy in different types of terrain and conditions, says Tomasz Niedzielski, an expert in geoinformatics at the University of Wrocław and leader of the team that developed the SARUAV software.
Overall interesting process but could be a lot more specific about the technology.
Crowd growing at Park & Tremont.
Lots of BPD parked on the opposite side of the Common.

Recipe from thesourdoughbaker.com. The dough is fairly wet (69% hydration assuming 50% hydration starter), not that different from my standard sourdough loaf.
This was my 2nd attempt at English Muffins and 1st use of this recipe. Misc observations: They definitely came out nicer using the rings for the rise and on the griddle, but keeping the rings on during the bake didn't really matter. They got a lot of "oven" spring on the griddle. Coarse cornmeal was too coarse (still pretty crunchy to eat), I may try to grind it finer but would buy a finer grind in the future; however setting each side of the shaped balls in a bowl of cornmeal was a little easier than finding a well-dusted patch on the baking sheet for each one. I had to have the griddle hotter than I guessed, pretty much like for pancakes.
Here they are ready to prove:
Most of the nuts came out with minimal force, but the last one just spins in place. I tried rubber gloves, painter's tape, and duct tape to get a better grip. I'd rather not cut a slot in the domed nut if there's another good strategy.
The rest of the restoration underway:
$15 at an estate sale, I was definitely prepared to pay more. I've seen people finding such cool stuff at secondhand shops and had no luck myself, so I'm hoping I can get some life out of these.
Also got a plane (one of the adjustments doesn't work but otherwise looks decent) and a Heath Kit power supply.
I found this table on the curb a while back, less the leg hardware. No a relative could use it, and I'm wondering how to fix it up.
Cut a couple 2x4 sections to fill the truncated-triangular area and screw through them into all surfaces?
The legs have a hollow center drilled out, at the top, so I assume some metal piece with threaded holes fit there, and a metal plate anchored that to the skirt (?).
Another view:
My enameled cast iron was leaving sharp little blue flakes around, so I decided it was time to take off the enamel. I tried a brass drill brush first, which only dislodged the loosest flakes. Then I got the cheapest Harbor Freight needle scaler ($40), and it worked great.
My small compressor couldn't really keep up, but working 30s at a time gave me time to grab the drill brush and clean up the exposed iron.
Washed, dried, seasoned, and ready for use. (I didn't bother with the lid, which isn't in as bad shape.)
The third step, burnishing the edge, at a slight angle towards the face “turns the burr upwards”. The SEM clearly shows a blade-like bevel has been formed, perpendicular to the card face. However, rather than simply turning the burr, metal has been reformed, and the burr has buckled rather than rotating. Additionally, the burnishing rod has honed the side of the bevel, removing metal just as a honing rod removes metal to restore a knife edge.
I've been struggling to sharpen my card scraper, and was happily surprised to see that scienceofsharp.com has an article (from 2019) that helps visualize the burr structure.
