I have to disagree that it's good for LLMs to do the research, depending on the context.

If by "useful for research" you mean useful for tracking down sources that you, as the writer, digest and consider, then great.

If by "useful for research" you mean that it will fill in your citations for you, that's terrible. That sends a false signal to readers about the credibility of your work. It's critical that the author read and digest the things they are citing to.

For years I used a Trackpoint external keyboard plus a mouse. The track point is great for small movements when you’re primarily typing, and the mouse is great for when you are primarily moving the cursor.

The setting is great, the writing is top-notch, and the acting is wonderful. The characters have great chemistry. It's funny.

The general universe is well done too. It lacks endless implausible human-shaped aliens and is light on space magic, which is nice. Overall it feels lived-in and there is some interesting history.

Honestly it's hard to think of another space-western style series that I'd rate so highly. I guess parts of the Mandalorian fit the bill, but I wouldn't rank it up there with Firefly.

Strongly disagree. The Firefly series was always exceptional. I watched it on DVD around the time it came out (maybe just after it was cancelled) and waited for the movie. The movie was actually a net negative, in my opinion, for killing off Wash (Tudyk), who was essential to the chemistry they had going.

I actually think the movie killing him off (and to a lesser extent, killing Book) hurt the momentum for further movies or other follow-ups.

> If they would have done Season 2,3, and so on, it wouldn't be held in such a high regard as it is now.

It's always possible that it could have gone off the rails. But the original Star Trek only ran for three seasons and spawned countless other shows and movies. I think if it had gone for two more seasons with the same cast, crew it, and general quality level it could potentially have been another Star Trek.

I get that this is true from a certain point of view. But car companies clearly compete in a very healthy way on features and quality.

In fact, cars are a great example of a market where the companies clearly care about making the product, and the competition between them has driven that products to incredible heights. Cars these days are vastly better than they were in the past.

Every single Mac, iPad, and iPhone gets this right with zero configuration.

And your music library is a very personal thing. For some people, it represents part of their identity. It can feel wrong to have something you may not like or agree with stuck in there.

I agree it’s silly. But it’s also the prevailing view that I’ve seen.

I still answer calls, even if 95% of them these days are either phishing attempts or vendors trying to sell me stuff. But my friends will text me first and say “can I call you” even if I say they can just call.

What? Abandonware? They are constantly posting new workouts that are thought out and well produced. The Fitness+ app is very well maintained. It works great. It has cool features. Honestly I don't know what you are talking about, here.

I've worked out together with one to three other people several times. No one cared that their heart rate wasn't shown on the screen. It's really not an important feature and a very niche use case.

If there is anything that represents a “services strategy” like the Apple of the Jobs era, it’s fitness+.
