  Anyone having problems with @waze lately? I keep having it stop my route, especially if I take a different term than what is specified. It’s not auto updating to a new route. It just stops tracking where I’m going.

  @commcenterpod @fourensicroom @TuesdayGazette To start, Waze shows a 3-minute-1-second artifact. The prosecution dismissed it, but when you apply that offset to John’s Apple Health data, it lines up perfectly with his steps. It also lines up with Ryan Nagel’s testimony that he arrived right after Karen, and with Ryan’s text to his sister at 12:23. That’s three independent data points placing John there before 12:24. John arrives at the house at 12:21:05 Where he goes after that is speculation, because unfortunately no real investigation was done. My theory is that he walked up to the house and a fight broke out. Brian Albert has been in many fights, but this time it went too far. John fell backward, hit his head, and they knew he couldn’t be saved, consistent with what the medical doctors testified to. After arriving, John’s last recorded movements are at 12:24:22. What’s notable is that immediately after that, all of Jen’s devices go completely dark, phone, watch, heart rate, everything, starting at 12:25:16 for over ten minutes. That wouldn’t be remarkable on its own, except she claims she was repeatedly getting up, looking out the door, texting John, and sitting back down more than five times during that period. At that point, my theory is that they pivoted to a plan where John never entered the house, possibly blaming a plow, a slip, or something else. That plan only fell apart when Karen went looking for him. The phone data is critical here. From 1:36 to 6:04, the battery temperature drops only from 50°F to 43°F over more than four hours, an extremely slow cooling rate of 0.026°F/min. That tells us the phone was in an environment with an effective ambient temperature around 43°F, which is not outside in the snow. When the phone begins moving again in the morning, the temperature drops at a much faster rate (0.75°F/min) consistent with actual outdoor exposure. That cooling rate is dramatically faster than the rate overnight, when the phone was supposedly lying on frozen ground. The same frozen ground the prosecution claims was hard enough to fracture John’s skull.

  EZ Street Asphalt (@EZSTREETASPHALT) reported 4 minutes ago

  Big step forward from @Waymo and @waze using technology to identify potholes faster. But identifying the problem has never been the hardest part. The real challenge is fixing it—quickly, safely, and without disruption. That’s where EZ Street® Ambient® Asphalt comes in. • Works in water • Ready for traffic immediately • No heat, no plant, no waiting Smarter roads don’t just detect issues. They solve them.

  Did you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

  I think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

  @Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

  @North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS

  And another thing, since I am ranting, and with regards to the Waze tweet. When I started cooking semi-professionally (three years ago), the idea of a homemade pasta sounded exciting. And it was. I almost bought a machine for all kinds of Italian oddities. I made it a few times. Very good. Completely pointless. When it comes to pasta, there are a few Italian brands that are *good*. They have been around and, yes, their pasta is not as good as homemade. Who cares. I may spend hours making, drying, cooking, and end up with a product that is maginally better than a good-branded one. If at all. And I would have wasted this time on making things that actually matter. Even a simple cacio e pepe is a skill that cannot be replaced with a store-bought jar. I can make pasta. All kinds of shapes. No one cares. So I focused on making better cacio e pepe. That is coding, and that is also my speciality: hardware security. I excel at this, but so does everyone else at my previous level. No one cares. Anyone can "dump the firmware". No secret with FTDI, even Saleale or derivates. Seven million blog posts about it. "Find three pads, get root." And there comes AI, which does all that anyway. I had to become better, so I did. I use AI for boring tasks because I cannot be bothered but also to know where I excel, where AI cannot go. I know why, I know how, I know how to direct my mechanical minion. And I will use it as my brain. And that is also coding. For my second job I need to make some hardware interface between X and Y. I used CharGPT to discuss needs, platforms, design considerations. I will use it to flesh out Alpha. Then I will ask it to make a prompt to Claude Code, and the latter will just do it, deal with ***, toolchains, all that. It will work. You know C and others and can write it efficiently? I am glad. I know C and others to fix code AI throws, and direct it. And I will have it ready in a fraction of a time. I can brag that I know .asm for several uCs, startink from 68k, 8051s, up to modern era. So what. No one cares. No one benefits. No one gets paid. I am not bragging about my skills; I am highlighting the issue with "AI will take my job" that I have realised seeing the Waze tweet. AI has already taken your job. I have no idea how to write .py, mostly because I am lazy. Now I do not have to. You do? Better that Claude? Maybe. I can make a better pasta than one can buy in-store. But I will make a better dinner.

  @andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down

  @starstrutz @MissJilianne Genuinely did not understand what you meant. Tesla and Waymo both use “Waze-like” data through their proprietary alternatives to feed into their own systems so you can see how that would be confusing. They both have something akin to Waze, but on steroids. Since you clarified, I have a question for you. Notice any differences between Waymo’s and Teslas? Like all of the gigantic cameras and sensors plastered on those jaguars? Maybe you’re purely a function over form type of person, but some people like a healthy balance. Those Waymos are clunky and ugly as hell compared to any Tesla. That’s just one example. Also Waymo isn’t as perfect as you’re pretending it is. Their technology makes serious mistakes and there is no one for police to interact with, no one for other motorist to interact with and no one for customers. You gonna call customer service or sit there and wait for the Indian tech support to get connected? This is not a small issue, it’s created plenty of headaches and problems. They also, by legal obligation, have a massive infrastructure of “remote human fleet managers” that people like you pretend don’t exist. They’re heavily geofenced and operate an extremely small footprint in heavily controlled environments. This is nothing compared to Tesla. Teslas are global. Waymo has been developing their autonomous product since 2009. Tesla started FSD in 2016. Don’t make me spell it out for you further. Drop your Elon hate bias and do some research.
