If you are being serious, and I'm pretty dang skeptical, then you joined at a time where there have been a lot of lame trolling attempts on the Ask communities, and I would hold off asking controversial questions for a while, we're all on high alert from them. So, if you truly are, welcome, glad to have you, but that's why you're insta-downvoted right now.

Fully agree. In a civilized modern country the government would own the rails (because, I mean obviously it would) and operators would put out timetables and requests for trains - all managed by the government. Just like the UK and most other countries, the government is in charge of maintaining the rails, keeping them safe, and expansion, while the operators do what they do best - they manage their schedules and try to squeeze the most profit out of it.
It's a win-win, private industry doesn't have to worry about safety or maintenance beyond their own vehicles, they work with the government on scheduling, and passenger rail would get a resurgence because adding new train lines and stops would just be a matter of starting a new operator.
If you thought of a new commuter line that you think would benefit a region, it wouldn't be trying to convince Amtrak to do it - you could literally raise the money and start your own operator, lease some vehicles, and then literally just start running your train line operated on government tracks. Just as the semis do on the interstate system, just like airlines do.
God what is with the low-effort troll/rage-bait attempts here. We all see you just joined to post this
Downvote and move on folks, don't engage.
I think the rails should be owned by the US, but they could be operators on those rails. Like in the UK, or how our airlines work
I'm sorry this is unpopular opinions
HIMYM was a show that gave me comfort as an awkward kid in a tiny rural hateful town. No it wasn't the best, but you're spot on about the city. It was the last member of the gang. Now I moved to a city and love it, in no small part to the show
Don't forget they have (for sure) spent millions on marketing firms to tell them that this was the best option
Seriously, I try to excuse people, maybe they are having intense diarrhea and are running home to not shit themselves - but even then you can use a turn signal. It doesn't slow you down
Oh my god, did they have to be in the same building as one?! The horror
So you're getting into function/tool calling with llms. If you don't know, they are structured things that you give to your LLM (at the API/model level, not you directly) that says "I have coded a function called get weather, if the user asks about the weather, let me know by returning a tool call response asking for the weather and I will get it for you" (in layman's terms).
This is how HA works too, if you ask the LLM to do something it is essentially running a tool call to HA for you.
Now, for your question, I'm betting there are ways to add in more, if HA supports this, idk. However, that's what you're looking for. It's also kinda named Agents, like you would create a web agent which takes in what the LLM asks for, gets the top 10 responses, collates them and gives them back to the LLM for summarization.
I'm guessing others have done this, but now you know what you're looking for!
I loved it. I set up all these different colors to tell me what the priority was for checking. SMS was green, email was yellow or something, and FB (so cool back then) was blue. I really miss that, could just glance at it and know if it was worth risking pulling out your phone in school
There is the standard AI hate, my comment isn't about that.
I think AI has an actual place in weather - but in the prediction of weather. AI models using info and patterns we can't see on top of modern meteorology is amazing and I'm happy to see that happening.
This, this is just idiotic corporate pushes of "Put more AI in things". I don't need it to drain my battery to summarize the weather. I can see a forecast for the day and know what it means, I've been doing that for decades now. It's more performative for investors than useful for me.
