Why do people keep pretending the Supreme Court always agrees with Trump. They've struck him down often and seem to be taking a very strict constitutionalist view. Most recent example would be the whole birthright citizenship ruling

You don't know the 3 jug system? Piss, poop, beverage of choice

Honestly people are focused way too much on the historical accuracy of the movie. I'm an archaeologist and managed to just enjoy it as a modern retelling of an old story.

The Bronze age collapse they brought up had nothing to do with the transition to Iron. It had everything to do with the collapse of their society. Which is something they touch on constantly with the suitors and their disregard of social rules.

As for whether or not they considered it a "bronze age" maybe not so directly but bronze was very important. Someone that was educated and could read, like a king, would know that they would not be able to produce bronze after a collapse in trade. Bronze production relied heavily on the trade routes to access tin. I actually quite enjoyed this idea that the Greeks who sacked Troy as the Sea Peoples. No it doesn't line up well with the history but it was a fun take nevertheless.

And sure, there were constant historical inaccuracies. The armor (Agamemnon in particular), the ships, the weapons, all wrong, but honestly it doesn't matter. Sirens and cyclops aren't historically accurate either. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the story.

I really enjoyed the odeyssey. I felt like all the actors did quite well. Personally I don't really pay attention to who an actor is irl, not something I ever cared much about.

Although at first I found Holland a bit out of place, but by the end he was good

However the used EV market is only growing

You have a wonderful mind

It will be interesting, normally you'd expect massive layoffs but companies may be forced to actually re-hire staff due to their over-inflated AI replacement expectations

I think the summary of the existing incident and providing updates is where they are using the AI. Which if given a limited data set should work.

These LLM models do actually a good job of summarizing a list of facts you feed it. The issues happen when you want it to make something "new"

For 911 I'd rather the government find the money to fund them, but I do feel like they are using AI in an appropriate scope.

AI should not be used in life and death situations like a 911. But the way they are going about the roll out is demonstrating how to actually use AI as a tool and not some miracle machine.

They should have left it only on the non-emergency line and called it there.

I have mixed feelings on this and how they are implementing it. Here's the direct quote

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.

In a way this will reduce caller volume for the same incidents being called in over and over again. Seems like they are using a direct yes or no question which decreases any issues with the AI making shit up.

I do see how this can free up humans to deal with other calls and dispatch lifesaving services faster, eliminating repeat calls.

However, even if the AI works as described (which is a big if anyway), having to navigate even a simple yes or no will reduce time to lifesaving care.

Our 911 system has been slow and inadequate for a long time now. There has been an absolute refusal to fix it, and this has led to deaths. I do see this application easing that issue a bit, but I also see how this will cause deaths in a different way. Is it better to die on hold waiting for an operator or is it better to die navigating an AI system? I think less would die overall with the new system. It has been trained using the non-emergency call line.

To be clear I want us to just fund people to staff the 911 call center, but these shortages have been an issue for decades. Local governments refuse or are unable to take on the additional costs. I'm really unsure on how to feel about all this. My gut reaction is disgust, but I do see what they are trying to do. I guess we'll have to wait for the data and stories

Quite odd given the price, I'd love to see the number on that

Not really as they mostly have different rolls.

Diesel is pretty much limited to commercial usage. I'm sure some idiot is driving a diesel truck around but that's not common.

The remaining are all commuter based yes, but the hybrid at least indicates the market is preferring cost saving measures over traditional gas. I would expect hybrid sales to transition to EVs as they drop in price and as battery tech improves.

Honestly for the average hybrid buyer they likely only pick that over an EV due to Germany's insanely high electric prices. Highest in the EU if I recall.

If Germany got their electricity prices under control I'd expect a portion of that market to switch.

Also the last hurdle may be access to charging stations. Charging at home is the most affordable, but there are not many Germans with parking and charging access. I know at my Oma's apartment they have like 4 parking spots (no charging) per building and then everyone fights for street parking. Infrastructure has a long way to go to make EV viable for the average German.

If the same combination is issued multiple times

Which is why they don't do that. 1 combination per state

So theoretically you can have the same combo 50 times, but it would be on 50 different state plates which are labeled as such.

You've made up a fake scenario that does not occur. There are not thousands of cars with the same plate.
