Sitting here mashing reload on the PG&E outage map, noting that the two addresses I have real-time data on aren't in the outage map yet, and all of the little disconnected areas seem implausible...

AI: Darwin's L'il Helper Dan Lyke / comment 0
Three Mount Shasta climbers rescued after relying on AI to plan climb
“We relied too much on AI rather than our own critical thinking,” the group told rangers.
And virtual maps on devices with limited battery power, and... yeah.

Petaluma PD just sent a "Advisory: Power Outage: Please treat non-functioning stoplights as four-way stops" Nixle alert, and dear deities I hope that drivers take these more seriously than they take stop signs...
Some good recording on tying Tesla's Dan Lyke / comment 0
Some good recording on tying Tesla's highly redacted "FSD" collision data back to public records. https://electrek.co/2026/09/01...topilot-fsd-crashes-hidden-data/
Tesla has been so underhanded with their data it's hard to tell how safe their systems are. Good to see reporting digging into this.

fake pollling data Dan Lyke / comment 0
The California results were among at least three "polls" across three states posted online this month by Median Strategies, a previously unknown organization that admitted to the Los Angeles Times on Monday that the purported results were fake. The company wrote before shuttering its website this week that it "was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification."
Sounds like it was someone in cahoots with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, most credible news outlets did not run with the numbers unquestioned, but as it becomes easier and easier to fake plausible "news", worth watching out for.
