This entire situation has been wild. From Miles' public defender turning to him and telling him to stop talking in courts, to the idea that renaming your Instagram profile gets around court orders, to just loaning your car out to friends.

Location: 3rd and Union. The Joseph Vance Building

Seattle Police locked down the grocery store and the corner of 15th and John after a reported exchange of gunfire at the Capitol Hill Safeway early Sunday evening.

No victims were found at the scene.

25 minutes later, a 911 caller reported a male with a gunshot wound to the leg at 12th and Fir.

Police were called to the reported 15th and John shootout just after 5 PM as people in the parking lot and customers inside the store scrambled for cover.

SPD taped off a large area around the parking lot and Williams Place Park where they reported finding multiple shell casings and at least one unspent round.

According to East Precinct radio updates, the shootout involved at least two armed assailants with one reportedly fleeing northbound on a rental scooter.

About 25 minutes after the Safeway call, police were called to 12th and Fir where a male was reported with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Seattle Fire was at the scene to treat the victim and transport him to the hospital.

It was not immediately clear if the incidents were separate shootings though at least one 911 caller described a group of possible suspects leaving the 12th and Fir scene.

There were no reported arrests.

According to a radio update, Seattle Police were investigating the possibility a Glock handgun reported stolen earlier in the day was used in the Capitol Hill shooting.

The Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) has adopted new toll rates for the SR 520 Bridge.

Beginning August 15, 2024, toll rates will increase by an average of 10 percent, rounded to the nearest nickel. Depending on the time of day and day of week, tolls will either decrease by 10 cents or increase by up to 70 cents. In addition, the new rate schedule will feature six rate variations throughout the week instead of the current eight.

Please see the table below for a breakdown of the changes:

Weekday rate changes (Monday-Friday)

Weekend rate changes (Saturday & Sunday)

State law mandates that tolls generate sufficient revenue to meet the bridge’s financial obligations, such as operations and on-going maintenance costs, and repaying construction bonds used to build the bridge. Tolls are also required to be set in a manner that helps maintain travel time, speed, and reliability in the corridor. These rate adjustments aim to streamline the toll structure while ensuring toll revenue meets the bridge’s financial requirements.

It's interesting how they are able to fit some much in a small space ~~considering most of it appears to be memory~~.

Windows and macOS have similar clients (Hass.Agent for Windows and Home Assistant for macOS).

I've found these kinds of clients useful because I can remotely wake-up or sleep computers, track how long they are turned on for, and automatically pause my lights and music when my webcam turns on.

Sadly, WSDOT's social media hasn't discovered Lemmy yet, so cross posting:

Good news, late-night downtown Seattle travelers – we’re about to finish one of our construction projects in the area! From 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. nightly Tuesday, July 9, through Friday morning, July 12, we’ll reduce southbound I-5 to three lanes between Yale Avenue and James Street, close the Yale Avenue/Howell Street on-ramp to southbound I-5, close the southbound I-5 off-ramp to Union Street (Exit 165B) and reduce the southbound I-5 off-ramp to James Street (Exit 165A) to one lane. The usual signed detours will be available around the Yale Avenue and Union Street ramp closures.

The new attenuator along the southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp to James Street in Downtown Seattle. The metal structure protects a concrete barrier along the ramp at is yellow at the end. The attenuator is surrounded by concrete barrier and a truck sits near it with flashing yellow lights.

This work marks the last of 23 guardrails and barriers we will be updating in King or Snohomish counties as part of the Northwest Region Breakaway Cable Terminal Replacement project.

Map on left shows the closure of the southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp to Union Street highlighted in orange. The detour is shown in blue with arrows using southbound I-5 to the James Street off-ramp, westbound Columbia Street, northbound Fourth Avenue, eastbound University Street and northbound Sixth Avenue to Union Street. Map on right shows closure of the Yale Avenue/Howell Street on-ramp to southbound Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle highlighted in orange. The detour is shown in blue with arrows using northbound Eastlake Avenue East, westbound Republican Street, northbound Fairview Avenue North and eastbound Mercer Street to the on-ramp to southbound Interstate 5.

I thought the model of 3D printing models of the chips to be a really cool way of visualizing how these chips work.

From the YouTube summary

How does your phone track its position in space? MEMS devices! Phones use small micro mechanical chips called MEMS, to monitor accelerations and rotations. These are fabricated using semiconductor technology, but are tiny little moving mechanisms.

Today we're decapping a six axis IMU (MPU-6050, on a GY-521 breakout board, containing three accelerometers and three gyroscopes), looking at it under the SEM, printing up some models, doing some high speed video recording, and talking about how these little MEMS devices work.
