This is a super cool project. But it would be 10x cooler if they had generated CLIP or some other embeddings for the images, so you could search for text but also do semantic vector search like "people fighting", "cats and do

The creator gave a talk that has more details on how it was done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfODe92DzLU IIRC he found a way to download streetview images without paying, and used the OCR built-in to macOS (which is re

Great book that I reference all the time. (The title is actually "The 1090 Megahertz Riddle".)

One was a gesture made by the anti-immigrant, antisemitic Musk, who pushes false stories of white genocide and is responsible for the deaths of thousands of non-white children (by dismantling most of USAID), who supports far-right political

I think that's because GitHub is trying to load the dozens of awful comments on the commit by people with usernames like waifuconnoisseur lamenting the loss of the politically incorrect, Hitler-loving grok. For what it's worth, th

Did you know there are currently many large police agencies that use unencrypted radios and they don't usually have any issues with it?

by jjwiseman 1y ago
Because law enforcement officers have so much more power than an average citizen, they must be held to much higher standards and have even more accountability. Law enforcement radio should be unencrypted, there should be public databases of

I use Caprover to run about 26 services for personal projects on a Hetzner box. I like its simplicity. Worth it just for the one-click https cert management.

Just to be specific, PAT25 seems to have been using Mode C for an earlier portion of its flight and Mode S for the later portion.

It wasn't coming back from Langley. That's misinformation from people who don't know the subtleties of what's displayed by flight tracking sites. For more info see https://x.com/aeroscouting/status&

Ken Layne's Desert Oracle radio show is one of my favorite podcasts. It covers desert life, the outdoors, UFOs, weird creatures, true crime, and other things. In some ways I think of it as a spiritual successor to Art Bell. There'

It's not true that commercial services filter out military aircraft with ADS-B. In fact, FlightRadar24 even lets you filter to only show military aircraft. I see over a dozen flying near San Diego right now.

I feel like I've seen lots of geophysical survey aircraft using ADS-B for their entire flights. Do you have a reference?

I have an AI-powered NOTAM mapper at https://notam-mapper.obliscence.com . It's just intended for fun, but you can try pasting arbitrary NOTAMs into it and check the results.

I was mostly addressing the idea expressed in other places in this thread that aviation without GPS is fine, not your specific point. To address your question, the commercial aviation world is still in the process of figuring out how to dea

Go to https://globe.adsbexchange.com and once it loads, press "u" to show only military aircraft. You'll see bunches of helicopters, transports and tankers, trainers like T-6 Texans and T-38 Talons, and once in a

Thank you! I haven't updated that page in a long time, and there are a few things I should add. Some possibilities: * Does this map show spoofing? No. * How come sometimes I see aircraft flying over Ukraine? That's GPS spoofing. *

There usually are other systems (e.g. ILS), but not always. This post has several comments along the lines of "We used to fly without GPS and it was fine!" The fact is that aviation is so much safer than it used to be, and GPS is

For one thing, the scale of Russia's interference is probably close to 100x as many aircraft being affected. Maybe 1000x or more if you consider the total number of aircraft affected over the past 3 years.

GPSJAM had a non-free map for years that didn't have this issue, but as the site got more traffic I could no longer afford to pay for it.
