She’ll forever be Dolly Patorn to me

Jersey finger for everybody

I’m convinced Ned Zinger is a robot

The first time I heard it was a VCR repairman turning a screw for $100.

The story goes:

The huge printing presses of a major Chicago newspaper began malfunctioning on the Saturday before Christmas, putting all the revenue for advertising that was to appear in the Sunday paper in jeopardy. None of the technicians could track down the problem. Finally, a frantic call was made to the retired printer who had worked with these presses for over 40 years. “We’ll pay anything; just come in and fix them,” he was told.

When he arrived, he walked around for a few minutes, surveying the presses; then he approached one of the control panels and opened it. He removed a dime from his pocket, turned a screw 1/4 of a turn, and said, “The presses will now work correctly.” After being profusely thanked, he was told to submit a bill for his work.

The bill arrived a few days later, for $10,000.00! Not wanting to pay such a huge amount for so little work, the printer was told to please itemize his charges, with the hope that he would reduce the amount once he had to identify his services. The revised bill arrived: $1.00 for turning the screw; $9,999.00 for knowing which screw to turn.

Narrator: the Nazis were the friends we made along the way. They were just hiding.

What’s the negative impact to a Muslim that gets baptized? All I can think is this asshole is trying to harm another human being.

I’d guess that the total gcwr is 40-50k lbs.

No argument against what you said, but technically receiving a ticket doesn’t mean it’s a valid ticket or that you’ll be found guilty in court. I have no clue if what you described as legal or not. But I do remember a guy using his riding lawn mower to get back and forth to the bar because he would drive home drunk and he lost his car driving privileges. I don’t remember ever hearing if he was ever stopped by law enforcement for driving drunk on it.

TIL, thank you

But I’m still serious. Places outside nj are trying to pass e bike regulations too, and I’m sure the panties are twisting harder than for gun control.

Your mom’s gaslighting you, kid.

Physics! How does it work?

“somehow”

What a stupid title

Are governments doing more to control ebikes than firearms?

I want an update on if anything catches fire

For the confused:

Behold the “Why is the garden smoking 3000!” Mixing star gazing and bike maintenance together for the eclipse.

Lol just because this the first you’ve heard of it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist as a problem prior. Bullets leaving the range is a massive issue whether there’s a school or an empty field.

More info for you showing it may not be so simple

And on and on and on.

The more I think about this idea of AI use by New Orleans the more sense it makes. As long as it’s a human asking the emergency protocol questions and dispatching first responders, falling back to tech for filtering overwhelming call volume during large incidents is a good idea.

I’m probably going to get downdoots, but I don’t care.

I feel like a lot of the responses here are from people who didn’t read the article.

This is a triage that allows the caller to bypass the ai with a simple no answer.

This is one use of this technology that can actually improve response times, and likely* isn’t being used to cut staff.

See my other comments if you care to know more.

This is from the article

This is intended to handle the increase of calls that are related to one incident, so callers get automatically routed to an AI agent who asks if they are calling regarding the incident. If the answer is yes, then callers can receive information or updates, and if it’s no, then the callers are transferred to a human.

Also, human resources cost money and 911 centers already struggle financially. People don’t want more taxes, and that’s how more staff and equipment is funded

On top of that, there’s a nationwide 911 staffing crisis.

It’s not an easy solution, and ai is a tool that can help.
