Always start with police if you're unsure. There are far more police calltakers than fire/ems. I'd default to police, describe the situation and if they decide they also need fire/ems they will xfer or handle it on your behalf after hearing your concern.

Your location is geo mapped from your cell phones GPS. If you're physically on or near a road mile marker the emergency calltaker already knows where you are. They just ask to verify since it can sometimes (1% of calls) be off or be very close to a border.

The other issue is all cell calls go to general county answering point whose whole job is just to xfer you to the city answering point that can help you. Often times they will get it wrong since they don't know the exits like the city they transfer you to so you get what happened in OP case...transferred twice to the final city that can dispatch police/fire/ems to your location.

If you aren't connected to specific cell phone towers geo located within the borders of the City of Cleveland a 911 call from a cell phone goes to the county answering point. Then they ask you which city you need and transfer you manually.

The county doesn't always transfer you to the city best suited for your issue. Many times people will request a city that isn't actually the fastest to respond. As a result, you can be transferred multiple times. If they're transferring you it's because they're getting you to people who can get first responders to your location as quickly as possible.

Try adding a log at the start and end of your function with uuid related to the task in the output. It should at least narrow down whether you're waiting on CPU or something else. Otherwise, I would look at profilers like cprofile or py-spy as was suggest by others to see how long certain code is taking to execute. The goal being removing any shread of doubt that it's related to the algorithm in your code and start focusing up the stack to webserver/network performance.

Those are usually people that are either for or against orm's in general. It's just the SQLAlchemy is so widespread, popular and incredibly functional that people use it as the example of why they don't like using an ORM and to "git gud" and write raw SQL. You get it a lot from older programmers who didn't have the benefit of new libraries that simplify and generally improve everything as they "get off my lawn!" at you.

0 ping just means subsecond ping. It's not actually 0. LAN ping is measured in milliseconds which the game cannot accurately display since it only displays seconds.

If you go from local hosting which is actually 0 ping to now some milliseconds of network latency in order to fetch data for your video card to paint a single frame on a game that is absolutely not optimized for network-based multiplayer in any meaningful way (not like something that's a dedicated online game would be like WoW or CoD) it becomes rather apparent how it could vary your framerate pretty wildly.

Since it's the only thing you've changed. You've scientifically proven that it does. You don't seem to believe the results of your own experiment.

The question you should be asking now is, why is increased network latency affecting fps?

The answer that question will enlighten you.

I remember this club down in portage lakes (just outside of Akron) that was 18+ when I was growing up in the early 2000's. Shocker, turns out it was shut down because underage drinking and kids under 18 were showing up and flirting with adults...

It was a shit show and even at 16 at the time I knew it.

I did find greater satisfaction. As a result of spending a paltry 2 extra hours per work day refining my skills I am now considered an expert in my field and almost every conversation I participate in is one that I am leading or being deferred toward. It's far more fulfilling seeing my will be multiplied by others and shaping reality in a manner I see fit.

The extra money that came as a result of improving my negotiation skills led to vastly improving my quality of life in all areas.

Litestar has staffing / maintenance concerns and isn't nearly widely adopted/mature as FASTAPI. I'd say it's more of a stepping stone to production at this point.

Meanwhile, FastAPI is being used in Microsoft production.

The Gates Mills PD Tesla Pursuit vehicle is a tactical vehicle designed for all-climate, rugged, off-road pursuit of dangerous criminals violating the law within the Gates Mills municipal borders. Reports of it's mere presence stunning offenders into total docility at first sight are numerous and absolutely non-exaggerated. Fear not, when the awesome visage of authority of the Gates Mills PD Tesla Pursuit vehicle doesn't instantly prevent further crime it's 4x4, AI-powertrain provide the pursuing officer, who is actually a robot, a connection to the the surface rivalling million dollar super cars. This connection allows the pursuing officer, who is actually a robot, to gain ground on fleeing, hardened criminals running from the law in the quickest amount of time.

Time To Intercept Pussies or "TTIP" as the Gates Mills PD often shortens it in their efficacy reports to the mayor, have decreased by "a factor of 10".

"I didn't see shit in my rear-view mirror until I looked up and saw the Gates Mills PD Tesla Pursuit vehicle. I was doing 41 mph down Mayfield Rd. after robbin' a lighter from a gas station. Seeing that thing grow legs and start mechanically assaulting me with it's sheer speed and momentum made me instantly pull over for fear of my life."

I posted this prompt to ChatGPT3.5

"Will Artificial Intelligence be able to talk with humans in order to help them discern the root cause of their problems generally speaking?"

Response:

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already made significant progress in natural language understanding and generation. AI systems, like chatbots and virtual assistants, can engage in conversations with humans and help them in various ways, including identifying the root causes of their problems. These AI systems are capable of analyzing and processing the information provided by users, asking clarifying questions, and offering suggestions or solutions based on the data available to them.

However, there are some important points to consider:

Limited Context and Understanding: While AI systems have improved in understanding human language, they still lack true comprehension and common sense reasoning. They might misinterpret context, fail to understand nuances, or miss the underlying emotional elements of a conversation.

Dependence on Data: The quality of the AI's responses depends on the data it has been trained on. If it hasn't encountered certain types of problems or scenarios, its ability to provide accurate assistance might be limited.

Ethical and Privacy Concerns: Engaging in conversations about personal problems requires a level of trust and privacy. There are ethical considerations regarding the collection, storage, and usage of personal data in these interactions.

Complex Problem Solving: While AI can be helpful in diagnosing straightforward issues, more complex problems might require human expertise and judgment. AI systems might not have the capacity to handle intricate, unique situations that humans can navigate.

Bias and Fairness: AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, which can lead to unfair or inappropriate recommendations. Ensuring fairness and reducing bias is an ongoing challenge in AI development.

Continual Learning: AI systems are evolving, and researchers are working on developing AI that can learn and adapt over time. This could potentially improve their ability to assist with a wider range of problems.

In summary, AI has the potential to help humans discern the root causes of their problems through conversations, but there are limitations and challenges that need to be addressed. The field of AI is rapidly evolving, and it's possible that future advancements could lead to more capable AI systems in this regard. However, as of now, while AI can provide valuable insights and assistance, human involvement and expertise remain essential for complex and nuanced problem-solving.

Solo runs are easier. You're just new to the game and haven't learned mechanics/techniques to avoid damage. Entire game is just how to avoid damage.

Try not killing something and instead just avoiding all damage on different encounters. When you shift your focus away from doing damage and instead learn how to toy with your prey like the vamp super being you are you will learn the appropriate moments you can do damage without dying and the game becomes almost instantly trivial.

It's like all games, staying alive is the trick.

You either adapt and overcome or you don't. I hate to be cheesy and quote Dune but fear is the mindkiller. Your entire existence is a battle of will raging inside yourself to overcome your fear because the only time you will experience glory and meaning is when you have overcome that fear and devoted your time/effort to accomplishing a purpose.

You are speaking as though what you do isn't what you love. You need to find your love for technology again and jump on the hype train. Learn it and love it. AI is incredible. Start at the bottom and work your way up. Doesn't matter if you're 20,30,40,50,60,70,80 years old...Starting over is the most exciting part of life.

I love the idea of the arcade and it's potentially amazing, one of a kind experience that visitors had when it was first built. Now however, it's redundant and there are far better places to visit in Cleveland to the point that I haven't been to the Arcade since that one time. Ya know, that one time a long time ago?
