Scientists Can Now Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls

This won’t get creepy.

“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

    I don’t understand how this issue can have context without mention of the state.

    Sure, which is why I challenged them over jurisdiction on their false claim that you could take a picture wherever you want. You even seem to agree with me that that is not the case.

    Could I post their photo in a random online forum claiming they have done something illegal? Nope?

    Because this is libel. You are allowed to say whatever you want, “unless it breaches some other law.” Just like your limits on what pictures you can take are not “just because you can” but “unless it breaches some other law.”

    It all comes down to an expectation of privacy. You have none in a public space as what you are doing everyone else can see.

    And the implication of their initial point, in the context of the submission, is that this type of “photography” would be allowed because “you can” and I argue that this would already be protected under current law that there is an expectation of privacy behind in your home. Like in many (it not all?) I can’t take a picture of you in your home through a window even if I can see you from a public space, because of the expectation of privacy.

      That’s exactly what I mean though. It is libel. It’s not privacy law. That was the point of saying other laws. But I’m not sure that is what they OG meant when they said you could do whatever you want. I took that to mean an implication that there’s a lot of lawful things you can do with someone’s picture that you absolutely can gain legally, and should be a breach of their privacy under op’s defined parameters.

        Just about all of them where the government is spying on their residents. Unless you think it’s alright if the government does it?

        This is your first response to me. Can you explain to me how I could have possible figured out what you just said from your initial post? You’ve moved so far from your first post, without at any point admitting at any point that you were wrong or maybe misinterpreted something.

        Stop trying to be right and start trying to figure out what’s right. You are clearly smart enough to do so.
