After todays news related to rsync, I felt compelled to share some other concerns related to AI generated code.

@nprofile1q... Doing some app tuning and working out ways to be able to share access. There's some nostalgia I have for this series from a land long ago, and I may try and recreate some of that work... but right now I'm playing a lot :)
Just doing SGI Onyx 2 things

@nprofile1q... Hi Dan, you've had a lot of smart folks chime in, and I can only echo some things about it from what I know:
- Sensors are in the valve stem. Replacement of them requires the car to be programmed with the new ID's. They're expensive. Removal of them may impact the legal usage and registration of your vehicle.
- ID's aren't unique. I've seen dupes. It's a probability game of your car being on the highway picking up the same value as a misread.
- ID's aren't constantly transmitting like a WiFi network. Different manufacturers transmit at different rates.
- To target a specific person makes this a meatspace threat model and not a cyber space threat model. To identify *you* may take an adversary some time to follow you, etc, risking identification.
- Where it gets interesting is the "I saw all 5 ID's in the same area at the same time" is far more uniquely identifiable than just seeing one.
- WiFi, BTLE and those things would be more likely an attack surface than TPMS in my professional opinion. For surveillance operations, eyeballs are still far better... That is, until advertisers get in on it too and can make those billboards on the side of the road change dynamically due to identifying and calculating average shopping habits.... I should stop before giving them more ideas.
