<p>I think your second paragraph is too broad. The same could be said for kids doing the bare minimum to play video games, or even go outside to play with their friends all prior to social media. Many people long spent too much time watching tv, and still do, instead of pursuing what you think success is. Also, let people be content, we don't always need to engaging in activities for success</p>

<p>No, I don't think so. But my context is different as is anyone's reply about their LLM usage.<p>I'm still creating software but with English that's compiled down to some other language.<p>I'm personally comfortable reading code in many languages. That means I'm able (hopefully!) to spot something that doesn't look quite right. I don't have to be the one pressing keys on the keyboard but I'm still accountable for the code i compile and submit.</p>

<p>I’ve never tried it but the first thing that comes to mind is to use a service worker. The service worker would append a parameter to the initial request to indicate what theme is set in local storage. Then the initial response can use that as the default theme.</p>

<p>I'm a 98% VFR pilot. I've not once said "That's not in the manual!". Is it ridiculous to think that Phil cannot see a small arm hundreds of feet in the air, at night, in an environment so dark a pilot needs the strip lit up? What type of wave does the pilot need to do to indicate "Can I land?" versus "Hi Phil"? Can Phil distinguish the two at night? At day? At night, a pilot that doesn't know Phil's land won't be flying low enough to see an arm due to hidden obstacles (wires, towers, etc).<p>Your points are all over the place here, and I have to conclude you don't have any experience in this topic, and you've invented some contrived example that won't happen in practice.</p>

<p>How’s Phil going to see someone’s arm at night?<p>Just to clarify to unfamiliar readers: class deltas exist with ground and tower, and after hours pilot controlled lighting. Untowered class echoes are everywhere, with pilot controlled lighting.<p>Yes, many untowered airports have pilot controlled lighting via ctaf, as stated in the airport facilities directory. This is very common at class E airports. For example, look at Plattsmouth in Nebraska.<p>It sounds like your core argument is “some private strips don’t have full infrastructure”. Phil’s private  strip does not appear in the AFD, so you as the pilot your flight planning needs to include looking up Phil’s number and calling him to get permission to land and to let him know you’ll need the lights.<p>If it’s not that then I don’t know what your point is.</p>
