Honestly lemonade stands exist because it’s so fucking hard to fuck up lemonade but ice cream involves dairy and needs to be cooked in properly sanitized containers to avoid a lot of potential food borne illnesses.
The city shutting it down isn’t a huge surprise especially if it was in operation for more than a day or two. It kinda sucks but we have food inspectors for a reason.
The resolution of a local business owner sharing their prep area to run the fundraiser is pretty much the perfect outcome since they can ensure proper methods are being followed and have the equipment to safely manufacture and sanitize everything involved.
Listeria happens when machines aren’t cleaned properly, ie: completely stripped down, which is unlikely to happen in a home-based operation. I mean it’s not like they had 50 ice cream makers on the go to make millions of dollars - like Boar’s Head deli meats (July 2024), Rizo-López Foods cheese (Feb 2024), and in Canada Danone’s plant-based milk (Aug 2024), and Maple Leaf’s 2008 deli meat debacle that resulted in 23 deaths. None of those companies were shut down because of their lazy oversight.
Well, it fucking sucks and it’s not a nice fuzzy answer but… the US is deeply corrupt. I’d prefer this ice cream stand be shut down and Boar’s Head also fail a health screen then everyone just do whatever.
The rules aren’t being evenly applied but I’d rather we enforce them more than relax them all to the lowest common denominator.
ETA: I absolutely get your frustration here and I share it.
Devils advocate: in the case of a monthly report, often an LLM is used like “take these current statistics and update last month’s report to include them.”
As in… the LLM is not developing an opinion it’s just presenting the numbers.
Monthly reporting is usually very formulaic. There’s no scope for “I propose forming a lynch mob comprised of vigilanties”.
This isn’t about them using them for monthly reports, this is about them using LLMs for individual incident reports
Pulling from all the sounds and radio chatter picked up by the microphone attached to Gilbert’s body camera, the AI tool churned out a report in eight seconds. …
Oklahoma City’s police department is one of a handful to experiment with AI chatbots to produce the first drafts of incident reports. Police officers who’ve tried it are enthused about the time-saving technology, while some prosecutors, police watchdogs and legal scholars have concerns about how it could alter a fundamental document in the criminal justice system that plays a role in who gets prosecuted or imprisoned.
“take these current statistics and update last month’s report to include them.”
That is literally the worst use case for an LLM. Something a simple script could do, but it is hard dry data the LLM is free to hallucinate with and people are lazy to check over manually.
Remember the killing of Daniel Shaver? The one where the cop carved “You’re fucked” into his rifle’s ejection port cover? Yeah that was already against policy. Didn’t stop him from doing it, or killing an unarmed man.
It wasn’t an issued weapon, iirc that was his personal rifle and it also had a tally under the inscription. One can easily deduce what those marks represented.
Using so-called “red flag” laws, local police could have potentially prevented DeLucia from obtaining a firearm if they were made aware he was dealing with mental health issues, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said Monday.
And if we had a PreCrime unit like in Minority Report, crime would never happen. What a pointless addition to the article and pointless statement by useles police. These kinds of mental issue are rarely caught in time as the person “seems normal” until they don’t. While long guns are insanely accessible and cheap in most states.
With the frequency that crazy errant behavior seems to occur with boomer-age people, I truly do wonder if there is a common thread. Leaded gas? Covid causing long-term brain damage from plugged blood vessels? Micro-plastics? Having to face the reality that their retirement is going to erode away because of the climate change they naively accelerated with their spoiled ass lives?
Do they suck? Tesla is king when it comes to efficiency. I hate it, I’m in the market for EV and while I’m buying a car on paper of the same spec and at half price… It is a worse car and I wish someone else did model 3 but not tesla.
Hopefully Lucid or Xiaomi (yes I’d sooner give money to them than Musk) come soon enough.
The truck is shit, but I’m with ya on the Model 3. I have a friend with one and it feels nice to ride in. I like the air in front, you can have the air streams come out however you want. Whatever the “go from being stopped to INSANELY FAST SUDDENLY AAAAAAAA” mode is, blew me away. Both my partner and I shrieked—we had never felt that kind of acceleration before.
It would be nice if there was a program to help these kids run up-to-code versions of these operations and learn entrepreneurship other than cities just saying “Lol! No”
Honestly? THEY think the treading is done by regulators trying to hold them accountable, and jackbooted libs with rainbow hair trying to kick in the door and steal all their guns.
There’s a reason you can be rejected from the force for having too high an IQ.
So someone who was clearly doing there job was getting very frustrated when, probably for the first time ever, they don’t listen or follow the rules? Guy lashes out because they are doing whatever they want and he is the one with mental health issues? I really wish the news stopped taking such a neutral stance on this crap and actually state who the problem is.
This is a form of bias on their part. They think or say it’s being balanced, but the lack of full factual disclosure is a choice. Bias can show up in other ways, too.
The length of a segment, for example. How long a topic is covered shows bias through emphasis or lack of emphasis.
Omission of details, over-covering points of view while ignoring others, when a story is covered, who covers the story, etc., may all seem unimportant, but they are choices.
Bias isn’t necessarily bad if it’s factual. To your point, someone should be stating who this individual was - even just generally - and state something along the lines of what you’re saying to refute the “mentally ill” allegations.
but the lack of full factual disclosure is a choice
What full facts are you assuming they had? The claim that the cemetery official was having some kind of episode was made by Civitas Cheung. That is a fact. The claim that it was not the case has apparently not been made yet by anyone. Do you want the reporters to speculate about what they think really happened? I don’t.
I noticed something stupid while on the interstate yesterday and passing or passed by multiple Teslas: they don’t tell you which model they are on the back. If you see a Tesla you like and want to know which Tesla it is, I guess you’ll have to figure that out for yourself.
They only have 4 models (not counting the cyber dump truck) that are pretty easy to tell apart. Small sedan or big sedan, small SUV or big SUV. Then basically do they have a dual motor badge and is that badge underlined (or does it have a plaid logo on the back). There you go. Almost literally all the permutations of Teslas.
