@DallasAptGP I’ve always said Lewisville was the West Palm Beach of North Texas

@dallasenfuego @RTR_bronin Lived here longer than you bud. You’ll find no disagreement from me that consultant spending, like all spending, deserves scrutiny. The rhetoric of “CONSULTANTS!” in all caps is not going to lead to better spending decisions. There are things we shouldn’t try to do ourselves.

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@RTR_bronin Also, should consultant immediately be a dirty word? Some of these firms are providing temporary or engineering services it would be more wasteful to keep staff on permanently for. If they bloated the staff, we would just call for them to cut that instead.

@RTR_bronin The airport has its own budget separate from the city’s general fund overseen by city council. Airport revenue pays airport expenses, so cuts here don’t create funds for parks.

@CalvinTTexas @dallasenfuego @KBTDallasCM This gave me a good laugh. Fair play.

@EllliotttB Did you know if you buy things and every year they make more money than they did the year before and the guy you sell them to is willing to make less money than you did then you will earn almost 15% return on your money

@natalieleveck @kevinkinsler @dallasenfuego @CityOfDallas @TXAG The only part of the law that is changing is 42A-2 (22), the addition of (B) and the fine. The nativity scene on private property you are so worried about is *already covered* under the ordinance. This only adds events that trigger emergency traffic management on public ROW

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@natalieleveck @dallasenfuego @CityOfDallas @TXAG Okay, I meant "unconstitutional prior restraint." Maybe that can't be assumed as my meaning. Lots of things are prior restraints (parade permits, copyright injunctions). Freedman isn't the right framework. Forsyth County is the only argument mentioned that works. Pony Up.

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@dallasenfuego @CityOfDallas @TXAG Calling a content-neutral event permit a "prior restraint" under Freedman totally conflates doctrines that apply to event permits. Do you think this is just a good political issue to attack GDW? Really don't get this. You would be on the other side of it if you lived next door.

@TXpaintbrush My father in law was a MD. I asked him what it would cost to do it his today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how.'

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@dallasenfuego @CityOfDallas @maxielpastor @ChadWestDallas What? Violates TOMA? I know that you know that that's not true. Do you feel no obligation to tell the truth? It's not going to pay off in the long run to be a liar.

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@TXpaintbrush Or, run the final step of your app on a cheaper local model like OLLAMA having done most of the hard parts upstream on a frontier model.

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@TXpaintbrush One thing you could try is something like converting the PDFs to JSON and treating it like RAG, building the agent output in such a way that it can retrieve text from the source materials without treating it like output from the LLM itself. That could get around the filter.

@TheStalwart “____ is coming wearing _____’s clothes”
Or starting sentence with “And,” or “But,” against what we were all taught in school.

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@TXpaintbrush Also we gotta hang out lol

[Kirk Ian Presley @Capt_Kip]

@TXpaintbrush Hmm. I worked on something bizarrely similar to this, also with City of God (turned audio recordings of an 8 week series on Dallas into a guide for reading City of God today) and it had no issues. Where is the source material coming from? Relying on it being in training data?
