When I asked my younger brother Ryan about this pass I found in an old family album, he thinks it’s because we had a fight because he was pissed that I beat the main boss in Bionic Commando. He lives in BC now, but if I show up— a lifetime pass is a lifetime pass, right guys?

Sitting across the room from a $5 ESP32-C6 connected to a 60 GHz mmWave radar module, I'm seeing my real-time blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and HRV. No wearable. No camera. No physical contact. Just physics. Yes, i compared it my apple watch.. Way more sensitive. like 1000x. What the radar is actually detecting are microscopic movements in the chest wall caused by respiration and the mechanical pulse of the cardiovascular system. Those signals are incredibly small, but modern mmWave sensors can measure displacement down to fractions of a millimeter. Once you isolate the signal and filter the noise, the patterns are very clear. From there it becomes a signal processing problem. Extract heartbeat intervals, respiration phase, and pulse dynamics, then estimate cardiovascular features like pulse transit time and variability. Those correlate strongly with blood pressure. What’s interesting to me is not just the sensing. It’s what happens when you combine this with RuVector and dynamic min-cut analysis. It's looking at the empty space and anytime something enters it. Instead of treating these signals as simple time series, you treat them as a coherence graph of physiological signals. Noise, motion artifacts, and environmental interference get separated automatically. The result is something much bigger. Cheap sensors. Local computation. Real physiological understanding. This is how intelligence quietly starts appearing everywhere. Github.com/ruvnet/RuView

@rohan10 I haven’t looked at Freedom in a while. Thanks.

@benlucier Freedom _is_ doing this. Telus/Koodo aren't horrible either. Telus is just pricey at the upper end.

If I were to launch a mobile carrier in Canada, I would offer a great monthly price, and my lock-in wouldn’t be a contract, it will be great service. Maybe the big carriers should try that sometime. Some might say this isn’t possible, but it’s already been done.

Now with the CRTC eliminating activation fees AND eSIMs being commonplace, it’s the perfect time to compete against the incumbents.

That’s good— I don’t want a long term commitment to my carrier. I’ll buy my phone outright and I’ll switch to whatever carrier goes me the best monthly price—and when they raise my fees, I’ll sign up with a different carrier and not pay any fees to do so. All hail the eSim! 🙌
Mark Goldberg@Mark_Goldberg

#CRTC says today's decision "will give consumers more flexibility to manage their plans and take advantage of better offers", but could result in service providers no longer offering discounts for long term commitments. When in history has price regulation increased flexibility?

I asked Codex 5.4 to reverse engineer a DOS game with no source code. It’s been running for 6 hours, I can’t look away. It unpacked assets, disassembled the EXE, rebuilt the renderer, and built my childhood favorite SkyRoads in Rust! Now think of all the games we can revive.

Half of the #RuView community are straight odd balls (in the best way), the other half are *ssholes. I’m just experimenting, in public. Kind of like giving a speech naked and alone in front of millions of people. Be nice.

What bothers me the most of my dealings with @Quora is that I have a super strong, unique password. If somebody hacked my account, they exploited Quora— not me. And that should be very concerning for them and their users. Shameful behaviour— I’ve had this account for 15+ years.

I give up. @Quora has ghosted me and will not reply to my emails inquiring into what happened with my account. My best guess is I was hacked and my account was spamming. 🤷‍♂️ Such a shame as I’ve answered hundreds of questions about domain names, registration, and more.
Ben Lucier@benlucier

Disappointed in @Quora. My account was banned for spam. But I haven’t logged into the site in months and have only ever offered helpful answers, mostly to those who had questions about their domain name. Support refuses to share any info, so I guess my ~20+yo account is gone. 🤷‍♂️

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

@mario4thenorth The best reporting is on Infowars of all places, they interviewed a woman who researched those online communities for quite some time Interestengly, law enforcement is aware of all that stuff (764, MKU, NLM) but it didn’t enter public consciousness yet

What you’re highlighting is a classic example of how documentation versus public narrative can create confusion and fuel conspiracy theories. The discrepancy between the announcement date and the widely reported death date may be a clerical or procedural issue—letters and filings often reflect when information was processed, not necessarily the exact moment an event occurred.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein’s death was announced on August 9th, 2019 in a letter by the Southern District of NY Police in the Epstein Files. PROBLEM: Jeffrey Epstein “died” on August 10th, 2019

@darrellstakes @Momma_Johnna Hate to piss on your parade, but you’re citing CBP authority near the border. That covers limited immigration inspections within the border zone, not general traffic stops, and it does not apply to ICE or allow them to bust out windows without cause.

Video shows ICE pulling over a couple for “staring,” who immediately prove they are U.S. citizens. Agents demand the car keys, a Fourth Amendment violation, and falsely claim the driver must be registered to the vehicle. ICE is not authorized to conduct traffic stops in this situation.
