@MMeyncke@realSonjaShaw Class size is ~2/3 what it was 30 years ago. Our district is 24 kids per teacher, it was 34 when I was in school here in the 90s but test scores were much higher.
@realSonjaShaw Good luck. Barerra has been union backed his whole career. SDEA spent $450k or something on the last local school board election here.
Sadly, I don't think there is any chance for any other candidates to win the supe "election" this year. Our government is for sale.
this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol
a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion
and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:
every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone
instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS
when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.
it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall
the cows learn the cues in a few days
so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate
and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.
it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field
so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol
and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm
it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.
they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly
it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.
California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires
costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month
a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone

@credealjunkie We did something similar and it didn't work out. I told her she can get one when she's 14. I discovered that most of the kids with phones are not the ones we want hanging out with her.
@jamesonhaslam That's awesome. We have 3, wanted 5 but we were getting older after the 3rd one.
Find a girl and start making babies before you get too old dude. It's rad. Big families are awesome.
@JCChristopher In San Diego electricity is around $0.50/kwh (peak rates are $0.72). Costs about the same as a small tank of gas. Insurance is also much higher.
Really doesn't make sense here from a cost saving perspective, unless you have solar and can charge your car during the day.
@LACountyRRCC What does "return" mean in this context?
The law and USPS policy are clear. Must be postmarked by election day, and postmark only occurs after USPS processes the mail. Putting a ballot in mailbox def does not mean it will be counted. USPS has to "process" the mail. 🤡🌏
@JesseRogersESPN We had 10 game mini packages to the Padres until 2019. 4 seats for $700/season and they had 5 for $5 hot dog specials. Now it's $300 to go to 1 game in the same seats and beers cost $18. We got to SDSU baseball games instead ($10 ea) and bring our own food.
