In China, jaywalkers automatically picked up on facial recognition scans and are immediately texted with their fines.

- For fuck's sake. As if the world isn't fistfucking us into a monstrous vortex of Ballardian industrial paranoia already.face_melter
- The terrifying thing with this tech is that unless there's a radical legal overhaulage, it will inevitably become used ubiquitously.detritus
- The cameras are cheap, the interconnection baked-in, the processing essentially free, the databases ever-larger, and all connected to the cloud.detritus
- My solution will be to move where there are no people or fucking cameras. Checkmate, neocon infosec shitheads.face_melter
- they need this in less developed countries where jaywalking is all too common.hotroddy
- It's only weird and oppressive countries that enact jaywalking rules in the first place.detritus
- Yay for being the first, how long till we get that implemented in the US?Maaku

- Jaywalking. Comedy crime.PhanLo
- Human vs Car. The onus is on the human to safely cross road. Why make jaywalking illegal? So Police/Gov can make more money.shapesalad
- I jaywalk 99% of the time when I cross a road, I read the traffic, you can see when it's going to be safe to cross. You can also watch traffic lights etc.shapesalad
- And I walk fast. I hate slow walks. Sometimes a slow walker follows me and jaywalks, only to have traffic honking at them.shapesalad

- Apperently the Russians used to do this on documents, amending the occasional space value between each copy to verify who leaked in the first place.detritus

Why hasn't anyone invented a AI/automated fly killing lazer?
I envision you'd place 2 or 3 small amazon echo like device in your room. Using infrared camera data on each device, it could combine the data and figure out - this is or is not a fly/mosquito, then where the fly is, track it's movement and then each device fires a lazer beam at the fly. The lazer beams on their own are too weak to cause damage to your room, but where the beams meet, their power is double, tripled = enough to disable the fly.
thoughts?

This MIT Machine Captures The Dreams You Never Remember
https://www.fastcodesign.com/901…
"Using an electronic glove that contains sensors to monitor muscle tone, heart rate, and skin conductance, it monitors when you enter hypnagogia and when you’re falling into real sleep. At that point, Dormio gently nudges you with an audio cue emitted from either the team’s smartphone app, or a nearby Jibo robot with a cue word. The researchers used “fork” or “rabbit,” but it can be any word. The subtle noise is meant to bring you back into hypnagogia without completely waking you up, and in fact, the team found that the chosen word often gets conceptually incorporated into the user’s lucid dreams. Meanwhile, the app or bot will start a conversation with the semi-conscious sleeper, recording anything you say. Once the interaction is over, Dormio lets users fade out into slumberland again, repeating the process to “incept” their dreams and record dream reports."
