Comment tie it to a case number (Score 2) 20

This seems like a very obvious and straightforward requirement, force the officer to select an active case to tie the inquiry to.

And at the same time display a warning that selecting an unrelated case "will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination".

Make them just as accountable as any other security system in the pirvate sector.

(I'm just speculating.) People don't need help with selling fun things; they want a 'bot that can sell the crap which humans have given up on. Anthropic doesn't want to sell widgets; they want to sell stores which sell widgets (sort of like selling pickaxes instead of getting into mining).

the CASIO site clearly shows batteries providing 30% of grid supply in the evenings just yesterday.

Batteries allow the time shift of midday solar energy surplus to when there's a deficit in the evenings. CA has cut gas peaker usage in the evenings by over 50% in just 5 years.

I imagine Anthropic etc are doing behavioral analysis/segmentation on all user accounts to detect bots and other interesting things, because why wouldn't they, and the distilling botnets are tuned to fit acceptable organic-appearing behavioral segmentation. Don't look random, look meaningful. Don't be a super-power user, but be productive enough not to set off any alerts.
I was always wary (maybe in hindsight) of the free data thing. It goes both ways as we have seen.

Comment Re:It more smart thermostats than battery backup (Score 2) 138

Weekly? pretty sure that would make the news.

As for smart thermostats vs batteries - batteries are explicitly listed in the graphs providing 30 percent of evening peak power just yesterday. https://www.gridstatus.io/live...

Smart thermostats definitely help but you'd need millions of houses pre-chilling down to the mid 60s before seeing demand reduction similar to batteries contributions. Most people aren't going to do that.

CA has cut gas usage during the duck curve in half in just 5 years.

With the advent of sodium ion batteries for grid scale storage, capacity won't likely be an issue for more than a decade.

More energy hits the earth as solar in an hour than the human race uses, in all forms, in a year (at least before hyperscale data centers anyway).

An 8000:1 surplus. And that's *just* solar.

#1 is your best option,

Not always, it depends on the situation. If you don't have stock in the company, if your boss doesn't respect you, if other companies in the region/industry are the same, then these factors weigh towards a union.

#2 forming a union requires much more energy and commitment then #1.

Again, it depends on the situation. If someone else is already forming a union, lending your support to it is lightweight.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were, as your name states, a bot, possibly run by some foreign power and tasked with sowing any kind of dissidence possible in the US.

And that's exactly as credible as the nonsense you're spewing, based on the same nothing.

If the cops felt their time was wasted, there are already laws and procedures in place to deal with it. They apparently didn't feel that way, and they know what actually happened. You have nothing but a propaganda piece written by someone with, like you, and agenda.

There's a lot to hate about Flock. This isn't is, and you're making them look less bad than they should. One might even believe you're an AI bot run by Flock to generate sympathy for them.

And that, too, is as plausible as your nonesense.
