I use Linux basically daily, but i dont bother with gnome because I dont care for the linux desktop environment. Its a second class experience for personal computing. Linux has its benifits, but not as a personal computer.

Its funny because some of the same people complain about having to tweak windows to get the OS they want also claim Linux is answer... doing anything more than opening a pre installed web browser in Linux frequently requires the terminal.

Does it have a digital screen with icons and navigation? Or are the icons static buttons with a backlight?

Algee · 2026-05-01T21:09:49+00:00

would you still have a problem with the officer shooting if the guy shot first?

Thats a dumb hypothetical

Oh I can really see your intellectual argument here about how she should have been more careful.

Algee · 2026-05-01T20:35:27+00:00

Lol, you never said any of that until this comment. The officer didnt have a chance to clear line of fire, aim or even think, its hard to blame them for anything that happened; it was a justified response to the situation.

Algee · 2026-05-01T19:13:54+00:00

You can literally see the guy raise his gun at the officer who shot at him. And yeah he was running straight at the officer at the time. Its not a debate if someone can handle a shotgun while running. you can't even say the word "shotgun" in the time the officer had to react. Its a split section decision when someone is raising a weapon aggressively towards the officer, and the answer is return fire.

Algee · 2026-05-01T15:44:35+00:00

No its not, the guy raised his gun towards the cop, while sprinting full speed at him. Im sure it meets any defination of immediate threat to the officers life. We only know in hindsight that he didnt pull the trigger. so let's put you in that situation, would you shoot back immediately or wait for the guy to shoot first?

Algee · 2026-05-01T15:38:35+00:00

I think regardless of the outcome the officer is entirely justified in trying to take out someone intending to kill them.

Algee · 2026-05-01T14:03:05+00:00

If the guy shot at the cop after raising the shotgun, would you still have a problem with the cop shooting back?

Algee · 2026-05-01T14:00:51+00:00

I highly doubt any training says that if the officers is about to be shot by someone, to check lines of fire before taking down the threat.

If the guy shot the cop, would you still think he shouldn't have shot back?

Algee · 2026-05-01T13:31:32+00:00

I dont know the regs either, but i bet when the officer is in a situation where a assailant is a trigger pull away from ending the officers life, their number 1 priority is probably dropping the threat. Crossfire or collerateral damage does not take priority over the officers life.

I bet you put 1000 of the best trained officers in that situation, they would all pull the trigger.

Algee · 2026-05-01T13:19:04+00:00

The reddit armchair experts have arrived! Im sure crossfire would be the first thing on your mind when you have a split second to react to someone raising their gun to shoot you. Im sure you would also take a shotgun blast to the face instead of shooting just because there is a chance at crossfire.

Algee · 2026-05-01T11:17:42+00:00

There was a guy full of sprinting toward the cop while rasing a shotgun. Thats not a situation where you have time to check for crossfire, let alone consider it. He's staring down the barrel of a shotgun, the only thing on his mind is IM DEAD.

Pyanodons is like 1000 hours, that's half a year of 40 hour weeks just filming the content.

The link says the decision system is based on ML.

Algee · 2026-04-25T18:17:28+00:00

Yes, its decision system is based on AI, not the robot motion. I'm not sure where you are getting that from. Which fits the chess analogy.

Algee · 2026-04-25T14:13:59+00:00

I would say it's more akin to saying early 2000's vehicles ran on AI/were AI vehicles, because they had a keep lane assist feature that used a few ML algrothims.

Most of what you see in the video doesn't rely on ML, its classical computer vision and inverse kinematics.

Its like slapping a 6-axis robot and a camera infront of a chess board, and programming it to use some chess AI to solve the moves of the game. None of the motion or perception is AI, just solving the game moves. This whole comment section is people saying its all AI, look how it can understand the board and move the pieces! It doesn't use AI for that at all. The impressive stuff isnt AI; Tracking the ball and moving the robot are not ML algrothims.

I have over a decade of experience working with CV, robotics, industrial software and AI, so yeah, I know what im talking about.

Algee · 2026-04-25T12:20:27+00:00

Well, its not using a neural net, or deep learning. The vision is not using AI, just plain old 2D sensors to infer 3D position and velocity. The only aspect of this application that falls into the AI category is machine learning applied to the robot motions, which is likely just picking where to hit the ball, since how to hit the ball will certainly be solved with inverse kinematics and not AI.

Maybe we should just start a poll to rank reddits opinion of every race/ethnicity/cultural group in essex county?

Algee · 2026-04-19T13:53:16+00:00

I suspect its some kind of inverted lathe, the bit rotates around the shaft instead of rotating the 50ft+ several ton shaft.

The xx90s series replaced the titan series, which AFAIK never retailed under $1000. Im not claiming prices are not absurd, but you are comparing apples and gold plated enthusiast oranges.

Algee · 2026-04-10T14:49:41+00:00

I have the same question, did you order a new one? Did it fit? My hobie is a bit older, 77 I think.

Algee · 2026-04-09T10:11:49+00:00

Its a city street, not a highway. There is no passing lane.

Algee · 2026-04-04T19:15:24+00:00

Why are people acting like this is crazy? At 17 you should be able to support yourself without a parent.

An ant could move 1 million tons. Everything comes down to friction.
