The original show was essentially this. Mr. Phelps, solve this absurd problem, and don't get caught. Okay, team, It'll be tricky, but we can do it. Sneaky, sneaky, look we melted the gold out of the safe, let's go home. All the kids cheer, because the cleverness was the entertainment. No emotional drama, no B story. No long term plot that I recall. I loved that show.
California is all in on an electric future, planning to ban the sale of gas and diesel powered cars starting in 2035. To get ready for this brave new world some police departments started with buying a few Teslas. These departments immediately ran into serious problems using the vehicles as cruisers, such as a lack of charging infrastructure, inadequate interior space, expensive and lengthy retrofitting processes, interference from advanced driver safety assistance systems and more. Police Chief Cedric Crook for the Ukiah, California police department told San Francisco Gate he doesn’t think the department’s Model 3s will see action any time soon:
The car has other issues, namely size. Tesla back seats “only have room for one prisoner,” Crook said, limiting an officer’s ability to sequester suspects. With an all-Tesla police force, Crook believes incidents involving more than one party will require more officers to respond with more cars, putting strain on resources, all because of the tiny back seat.
Police are often required to transport suspects, witnesses or victims for cases they’re working, sometimes for long distances. Crook remembered a case where his detectives drove 630 miles to Mexico to transport a potentially dangerous subject in their vehicle. If the detectives were in a Tesla, Crook noted they would have had to spend an hour in the middle of the drive at an unsecured public charging station standing guard over the person, something that would not happen with an internal combustion engine.
The answer here is obvious: Ford needs to start reissuing the mighty Crown Victoria, once the pride of police forces across the land.
Who is these "proper channels"? Some other people? How do you know, they would never pick up a stray USB drive?
When you have the formality of a guard, a simple part of the procedure is to ask "You didn't get this from the parking lot, right?"
The problem isn't strays, the problem is someone getting a compromised drive into your supply chain. And if your supply chain is Staples, say, you may have already lost the game.
You totally can get by without USB drives, fast passive serial connections have been around for decades. You just have to be willing to acquire the right stuff and follow proper procedure. Complacence is the hardest problem to solve here, but is it ever a doozy.
Humans, and their lack of training. Is anyone surprised?
A quote from the MS site explaining the engine: "As light travels incredibly fast – 5 nanoseconds per meter – each iteration within the AIM computer is significantly faster and consumes less electricity than running the same algorithm on a digital computer. "
Light travels a meter in 3 nanoseconds in vacuum, so this is poorly worded at best. However signal speed through copper is 2/3c, or roughly 5 ns to go a meter. So this number is kind of whatever?
Is there some way to interpret this as an important or novel achievement? Or is it just the wrong explanation as to why this machine is fast at what it does?
Yep, ChatGPT is an English Major.
Impossible sausage is amazing. I like it better than a number of traditional sausages. Beyond stuff kinda meh, though I like their brats okay. In general the two don’t compare.
How does a company years away from making its first commercial plane claim to deliver anything? Maybe their tests are going well, but thatâ(TM)s still just a prototype.
The first version always gets thrown away.
