100% justified. We can Monday night quarterback it all day, but ultimately it comes down to having to make split second decisions based on training and experience. Many officers would have jumped out of the way, many would have taken the shot. There is no one size fits all.
For anyone with a Radar/Sonarr/Jellyfin setup - do yourself a favor and set up Jellyseerr too. It's a request system for other to request library additions. Install moonfin on your firetv/androidtv and downloads can be initiated straight from your TV!
I think your question is reasonable, but no, I do not think a company gets to promote a service as having no ads as part of the sell, and then put ads in by default.
The way I think about it is that LLMs are just a tool, and if you trust the tool too much it can backfire. It reminds me of this video [1] that Louis Rossman posted regarding a police officer essentially trusting his AI tool (Flock cameras) too much and falsely accusing a woman of a crime, claiming "you can't take a breath of fresh air without us knowing about it".
A while back I joined this group called OnlineGreatBooks.com which placed you in a cohort of about 10 people who would have monthly seminars via Zoom to discuss the Great Books of the Western World. They started you off with How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler and it was such a useful guide for me, who had not read a book in about 10 years after graduating high school. Since then I read maybe 10 to 12 books a year!
I particularly enjoy the idea of writing notes in the margin. Adler describes this as "having a conversation with the author". I hope that my son one day picks up my books and writes his own notes to have a conversation with the author and me.
This 100%. For me, the philosophy is not so much a terminal-centric design but a keyboard-centric design. Sure, this could be done in a GUI, but even GUIs with a keyboard-centric design are not as fluid as a TUI.
I'll also add that (like the parent comment) I did not get the appeal. Not until I forced myself to use it more and saw the benefits.
I wouldn't say delusional. At the top of the decade it did seem like it was a plausible evolution as remote work became more popular, what with the pandemic and everything.
In Ready Player One, what made VR so ubiquitous was that the real world had gone to shit. Perhaps that is the true prerequisite for widespread VR adoption?
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
In the current state of affairs this can be seen as funds being collected for a civil defense maybe.
