A few resources,

Deflock.org has a map based on openstreetmap that shows the positions of ALPR cameras. I would highly encourage you to contribute if you find any unlisted cameras.

Dontgetflocked.com is a website for routing. It can generate navigation routes that avoid, or limit exposure to the cameras listed on deflock.org.

All of these are specific to the US and Canada. Other countries may have ALPR installations, but they are not listed on deflock.

Edit: deflock has a toggle switch for Canada. Only two countries.

That’s how AI testers work and its why they don’t. Most forms of formal writing are predictable by design. If the AI can predict predictable formulaic writing, it doesn’t mean its AI, its probably just any form of professional writing other than fiction.

Famous public domain works will always be considered AI by those tests, because of course your LLM knows the american national constitution. It was in the training data, so it can predict it with 100% accuracy, therefore your test wrongly calls it AI.

Testing for AI writing that way does not work.

Yes. That is a skill that you spend around the first two years of a music degree learning and perfecting. In your solfege class you learn to read in all keys, and clefs. You learn to identify all intervals by ear and learn to sing them. You even do dictations where you have to write down music you hear.

After that study, yes you can know what the music will sound like by just looking at it.

Legal risk. Being federated means mirroring the content locally and that can cause liability for the instance owner. Laws around porn can vary by country and to some being federated could be illegal, or be an unreasonable risk.

I don’t like the smoke, but I don’t mind the the sunlight has the color of golden hour for 2-3 times longer.

I’ve found it it works best exporting to musicxml from finale. Musesccore and most other notation software supports musicxml, and it works recently well as s go-between.

Lilypond. Its music software. Learning it will keep you occupied for at least a week.

Control. Unions get a seat at the negotiating table. With a union things have to be done by mutual agreement, and the workers have recourse if things go wrong. Being a manager is much more powerful without a unionized workforce, finance notwithstanding.

They often personally take unionization as an insult or betrayal, so they try and get revenge using the one thing available to them at that stage. With overwhelming support, it’s only a matter of time before the vote passes and they are forced to recognize the union.

This is not uncommon. Managers want to rule over people without restraint even in nonprofits.

There’s a good reason testosterone is a controlled substance and estrogen isn’t.

Warning? No. Inspiration. The picture looks great even without exposure stacking, which is how I would take this myself. I’ve never done exposure stacking, and if there’s a way to do it in a darkroom, I’m not ready for that just yet.

Thanks for the reminder to buy a cable release. I want to try nightime pictures like this.

You had to say, “Nazis bad 🥺👉👈.” Apparently that’s the secret gang sign of the antifascist transgender mafia he was bravely trying to defend the world from.

That is what happened. The accused told the boarder agent the duress pin when asked. The agent entered the pin that initiated the wipe.

Could make a difference at trial, didn’t stop the case prior to the arrest.

Happy birthday!!! I love your photos;

Their main search has AI in it. They have an alternate non-ai version which they seem to be pushing in marketing.

They’re shoving AI where no one asked for it like every other tech company. However, it seems some small portion of their staff hasn’t drunk the AI coolaid, so they have a non AI search as a little side project.

This is a US and Canada problem. This is basically a non-issue in the rest of the world.

There are two standards for headlights, one established by the UN that applies to 99% of countries. Whereas the US and Canada have the other standard that is far worse for glare.

The global standard has strict rules on glare, requiring a sharp cutoff line at the top of the beam. The american regulations do not have this. American regulations do not account for headlight height off the ground, defining alignment purely with angles. An SUV or pickup with its headlights mounted above your eyeline can legslly shine the fullest part of its lights directly into your eyes at all times. In contrast, the international regulations account for height, and require tall vehicles to incline their headlights further downward to avoid dazzling other drivers.

This problem can be solved for new cars instantly by switching to the international standard. The auto industry is international. They sell in markets with the global standard and could switch their headlights immediately after a change in the law. This is an easily solvable problem.
