I just feel terrible that I hurt a dog and don’t know how to react. I know it wasn’t on purpose but I get sad if I run over a squirrel in the road.
My other kid had a good perspective. He said if our dog ran out into the road unleashed we wouldn’t expect anything out of a driver who hits the dog.
That is helpful. Thank you.
I plan on going back by later today.
I feel horrible. I think it didn’t help having my daughter inside the car and the dog with me. I agree talking to the lady across the street and stopping back by to check in may be best.
I don’t expect people who take him up on that will enjoy it if coming from America. Just a guess.
It seems like you are getting more knee jerk than actual answers here. There is no evidence of any discrimination in asking to deblur the camera by itself. It also has nothing to do with an I9 validation. The I9 validation is checking for employment eligibility and citizenship status and that’s it. See below for the remote procedures. The employer’s obligation is to be consistent in the procedure and not discriminatory with the procedure based on race, gender, etc. I just think that HR drone is a dumbass.
Lastly, I think based on your other response to another poster she should take the job and just be keenly aware if anyone else in HR asks other funny stuff. There can always be dumbasses in every department and that’s not a reflection of their ability to be lawful or a bad company. I also think it’s worth reporting the person if they keep doing funny stuff.

I think we went through 3 trannys on one within the warranty period… Great ride with sliding windows and sliding door. Good times. I recall my dad showing me the engine under the hood. I don’t have any idea how someone worked on it. It was horribly crammed in.
Dumb question… What’s the issue? I’m a Venza loving freak so I could be biased.
As others have noted, LLMs are prone to error and need review. They can be very helpful in taking large amounts of information and making it more concise.
To your question about how AI can generally be of use, AI is good at taking large amounts of information we humans normally would have issue consuming and reacting to and giving us reactions based on the algorithm we gave it related to the info. I’ll give you an example from my life that may make sense to you as a fellow small business owner.
I used to work for a large company that had a travel agent. I used to travel every week and was told to use the agency to book my flights. The corp has specific requirements about 2nd best cost and non stop vs 1 stop. I could end up with a crappy seat and extra flight stops and had no control officially. Back then I would use Expedia to stitch together what flights I wanted and then casually provide constraints to the agency so that I would get exactly the carrier, non stop flights and decent seats… But it required time to figure these things out. I was the AI taking all of the info thay mattered to me and crafted my result based on what I wanted. I would game the agency/corp’s constraints to get the one flight I wanted.
AI could be useful for managing your schedule (personal and work) to book sessions for clients. One could argue that how hard is it to just let clients book into your schedule, but consider Motion app. Motion can watch how you book clients, when you take lunch, when you normally start or end days, and help move appointments around or create availability on the fly. You could tell an AI app like motion that you need prep and clean up time, you take longer lunches two days a week, etc…
As with all AI you can do what it does. What’s interesting is AI can learn your processes and start to anticipate like a good Admin executive… But it takes training and maintenance. That’s the expensive part. Maybe time, maybe money, maybe both.
To make a long post longer, AI could help with marketing. It’s like the old school mail inserts, but with extra smarts. I’m sure there are AI marketing tools that take certain data and constraints and then shoot out various emails, calls, texts and posts to the demos you need at a frequency and amplitude that the tool thinks matches your business model. I’m speculating at this point tho.
Reading The Road as a new father. Fuck that. Made me cry.
American Movie. Sweet film about a quirky but determined film maker to make a movie and hit it big. The characters are fantastic slices of Americana.
Anvil. Film about a heavy metal band who almost made it and try one last time. The crazy part is the night I watched it they were playing in my home town. I regret not going to see them. They are just a few normal guys who are lived by their community and once rocked out on the same stage as Metallica.
Ooh… That is good news. Thank you. Screw Big Blue.
I know this deviates from your question a bit so I am apologizing up front (the sovcit posts that I love have made me wanna deviate)… I really like wunderground. I hate that IBM bought them though but it’s probably to monetize their trove of weather data. they have access to private weather stations, great viz of weather data by the hour, history to the day, etc. I use nextdns.io to block ads to the best of my ability but I know there is some device info they collect. It does have a rubust section on opting out and deleting tracking data. I don’t see lighting tracking regretfully. It’s worth trying out. The website can show lighting BTW.
You are mean. They’ll have nightmares.
I think overall the responses are not tone deaf and are fairly reasonable. Most mechanics shops (aside from a minor two garage shop) that I have been to throughout my metroplex over a long period of years and multiple cars have jobs that take days due to analysis, buying parts and install. Unless I call ahead and schedule a very specific task where I know just taking in a book for 3 or 4 hours will work, I’m walking to the nearest bus stop, riding my bike or calling a cab. There are maybe 6 chairs and 15+ vehicles sitting outside or in bays from my experience. The customers are typically not sitting in the lobby. I think the OPs expectations are a bit off.
My company filed for two PPP loans to keep afloat. Any company could have just kept making money and the owners could have pocketed the cash. There were expectations that employees were not fired and other questions in the application that I can’t recall. When we applied for forgiveness on the loans we provided tax receipts and staff numbers over time. I’m sure it would have been pretty straightforward to lie or find someone to lie for you (accountant with less than stellar ethics).
