> No I didn't.

Yes, you did, because you seem to continue to think that I was arguing against the article, when in fact I was merely arguing against the comment by amadeuspagel that I replied to.

amadeuspagel was arguing against the article, claiming that these thought patterns shouldn't necessarily be considered "flaws", because they're the product of evolution. I dispute that, because non-human thinking, which we all consider to be inferior, is also a product of evolution. That's what I meant by handwaving. I do believe that humans are smarter, but I also believe that human thinking is very far from perfect, still heavily flawed. As are all products of evolution.
Any reason not to use flex instead of float?
im mean software
I agree. I think there are loads of "smart" things that sound super neat in principle. The problem is finding a company who is competent at making software, competent at making hardware, and trustworthy enough to allow to put a tracking device into my home. Those are three small circles without much (any?) overlap.
8chan was something like 95% autistic crossdressing homosexuals who just wanted to shitpost about anime and videogames.
Not only that, but in many cases conformity to group ideas will lead to better outcomes than individual thinking. The world is complicated, and you as an individual probably don't really have the time or brain resources to figure it all out from scratch. But group norms have evolved over time, incorporating the experiences and knowledge of many people. See [1] for many examples.

Of course, in the modern world group norms may not have caught up with our rapidly changing environment, so there are likely to be more cases where individual thinking can improve things. There should clearly be a balance between following the group and thinking for yourself; neither is good on its own.

Disagree. My 75 yo parents still have a dumb tv. They have different remotes for cable, sound, blue ray player ( some smart apps), fire tv, and apple tv.

Their life is not easier because of this, they don't watch what they want when they want because it takes minutes to get to a different source.

I know what I'm getting them for Christmas
> We don’t have to become socialist or communist to start to provide greater emphasis on the contribution of workers and society as a whole.

That's... getting rather close to the definition of Market Socialism, actually (depending on how much greater the emphasis is). It's certainly firmly within the range of Social Democracy (which USAian conservatives would happily label as 'socialism').
While it could be that your usage data is collected and worth that much to them; the far simpler reason is simply both how competitive the "normal" TV market is, and how much you benefit from economies of scale. Even if your usage were worthless, a smart TV would likely be considerably cheaper.

Also, don't overestimate the bill of materials for a smart TV. Even a "dumb" TV almost certainly has silicon brain simply for controlling the settings UI and various other functions - that's cheaper than buttons, and remotes need something to talk to, so really, a smart TV simply means "a slightly fancier chip" - but still a chip that's several generations old by smartphone standards. It's not going to be a significant extra investment for the producer.
Yes, I do doubt that.
Yeah, I think its primarily market segmentation. Or, you can charge these people more money because they have it.
They probably segment based on durability guarantees, these tv's maybe are slightly more durable / last longer in weird temperatures because consumer tv's can cut corners to make the sale, but commercial applications want something that lasts a long time and make fewer sales.

I recently had my first baby and had a few ideas for some sardonic baby attire, so I whipped them up in a store for drop-shipping. It nets a half-dozen sales per month, with almost zero upkeep beyond new designs when I've got a new idea.

The pictures I get of babies wearing the clothes is exponentially worth the effort put in.
I think I agree in that as the balance tips towards more self-driving cars on the road that it will be safer for them, but I also think that although the numbers of human drivers will be lowered, the likelihood of accidents might also increase unless humans adapt toward driving with self-driving cars.

Transforming our roads towards better supporting automated vehicles through signs, markings, and other infrastructure does seem to be a natural conclusion to make it really work, but that all rests upon the assumption that these massive fleets of self-driving cars are required components of our future. We already have major issues maintaining the infrastructure on our roads. Fully transforming them will take a lot of time and money. I really think a more holistic approach is needed because self-driving cars will be solving a lot of problems, in hard ways, that are much more simply solved by (essentially automated) train, subway, trolley, and bus systems. Going all in on self-driving cars seems to be the wrong goal. We need to be thinking about how to transform our infrastructure and urban design to have the right solution in the right spot. I do think self-driving cars have a place in this, but simply slapping self-driving cars onto our existing car and road culture and design is not the right solution.

I really worry about the U.S.' nature about letting corporations dictate where society goes. We're in this mess to begin with because of car corporations destroying public transportation in cities and requiring the new city designs to be built around cars. I think we'll continue to see corporations create solutions that generate more problems.
I agree with this position - I am not running a pure value-oriented portfolio. It is very nearly a 50/50 blend between value/growth at the moment. Only ~25% of my portfolio represents investments explicitly for purposes of driving dividend income (REITs). I say 2.9% as a "safe" figure in context of investments that are more-or-less idle without all the stress (i.e. holding a bunch of TSLA is not always fun). In reality, my total portfolio is more than doubled YTD, but I wouldn't publish that as a typical figure.

The cell for instance, is a natural decentralized concept in the very fabric of life.
Darwinism which will spread characteristics all over. The fact that a bird spread trees when he drops his food, or the bees spreading polen.
Theres a lot of examples of this, and its the reason nature is so resilient, because it never centralize all the good stuff in one place, like we, the ones who like to control everything keep doing it to "protect" ourselves from nature.

And yet, we should embrace it, and learn from it instead.

I've written about this a bit — might be helpful perspective:

"I’ve had many conversations recently with very well meaning people who believe that if we just decentralize everything, it will fix the internet—and perhaps all of society! Decentralize social networks, decentralize money, decentralize the world…if only it was so simple.

This is the “magical decentralization fallacy” — the mistaken belief that decentralization on its own can address governance problems."

...

"decentralization is clearly helpful in cases where governance and policing infrastructure are tyrannical. But often that isn’t the crucial problem or threat. It definitely isn’t the case in democracies where misinformation and harassment are being used to harm public discourse. In those cases, decentralization just turns a hard centralized problem into a harder coordination problem."

...

"There are ways to avoid tyranny while maintaining centralization and monopoly. Most notably, constitutions are specifically structured to avoid tyranny — and are generally based on a system of “overlapping centralizations” with checks and balances. The legislative, executive, and judiciary all “monopolize” governing the same people—and together also have a monopoly on violence."

...

"How can we create the competing powers of a multi-centralized social network and [online spaces]?"

> To work around this, you need to wrap the strings in newtypes

That is certainly an option, but actually std::variant<string, string, shared_ptr<Node>> does still work for most operations (std::visit is not one of them though). So another option is to use that typelist directly and switch to index-based access, at least for those entries:

if (std::string* s = std::get_if<0>(myVariant)) {
// Use s
}
else if (std::string* s = std::get_if<1>(myVariant)) {
// Use s
}
else if (NodePtr* node = std::get_if<2>(myVariant)) {
// Use node
}
else {
throw std::logic_error("Unknown variant entry");
}

At that point you'll probably want to define an enum (an old-school one so it implicitly converts to int) to identify the cases symbollically, which admittedly is pretty messy given that it's up to you, the maintainer, to keep the enum in sync with the actual type list in the variant. But it's hardly the worst coding sin ever, and better than any alternative I can think of (short of switching to another language). As you can see from my comment further down, I think a chain of if statements is cleaner than std::visit anyway, precisely because of the complexity problems of std::visit discussed in the article.
That seems in line with their standard procedure.

(... This comment is not advocacy for their standard procedure.)
I don’t think this is really true. Stuff I’ve read from psychologists say the opposite. It’s actually really controversial, and people are debating what role therapy should play in abuse cases.

I don’t think a link to mental illness is even really disputed anymore. They’ve actually started screening people out of traditional programs, due to mental illness and drug addiction in criminal abuse cases. I’m trying to say away from the hairy politics here, as it can get quite heated.

What paper did you read? It wasn't the one that was linked which stated the opposite of what you just said.
All of these safety measures are developed through trials and iterative improvements, not something that was foreseen by the inventors. That's because its difficult if not impossible to accurately predict the impact of a revolutionary product at the onset. Its hard enough predicting whether something will be revolutionary, much less its impact.

This iterative process is working fine for social media. The platforms are changing, how the users use them is changing, it just needs more time to mature.
> Of course, there’s also the simple thing of “enterprise stuff costs more for no reason.”

That "no reason" is usually a combination of the following:

1) Support avenues - commercial customers want rapid support in case something breaks, including overnight / on-site repair. That infrastructure costs more money compared to consumer appliances where the customers have to ship stuff to a central repair place.

2) Quality. Consumers are used to stuff failing after 3 years and get the next new hot thing, commercial customers want a decade or more in life span with as few maintenance calls as possible - and especially they don't want to redesign enclosures when the model is no longer available so they demand longer shipping times - again, on the order of 10 years or more. Also, these displays generally have to work in a wide variety of environments - directly in sunlight/heat/cold, vibrating/otherwise moving. Higher quality components cost a lot more money. Add more money for certifications required for medical or military deployments.

3) Spare parts. Again, the longer availability terms mean more costs for the support infrastructure - while for ordinary TVs the parts stock can be emptied out after 3-5 years, stock has to be kept around for way longer for commercial TVs, and that includes buying up spare parts when a supplier EOLs a part.

4) Features. Commercial TVs tend to have more selection of (rare) inputs, e.g. BNC or SDI (the latter to drive an array of screens around a spread-out location from a single signal source, you can't do that with HDMI).

5) Firmware. After three to four years no manufacturer except Apple gives a flying f..k about the firmware, which means security holes go unpatched. Commercial customers demand longer update cycles (and better validated ones), again that costs more money.

6) Vandalism and elements protection. This one is huge and ties into the quality part. While your home TV won't need to be protected much against anything, vandals will go and attack anything without mercy - with anything from graffiti over hammer blows to hydrofluoric acid. Add to that nature: bird crap, vomit, tree sap, pollen, drunkards stumbling into your digital signage... or humidity/harsh rain.

7) Loss of revenue from advertising, as you mentioned.
In my experience at least, building with Hasura can be very cumbersome, i.e. you need to edit multiple files or resort to the web UI. Importing or exporting schema is also very unintuitive.

In contrast to that, I love the idea of the database schema being just a graphql type definition file with annotations.
It's a much less mature equivalent to HA but with a drastically better UX/UI. I have tried to use HA several times over the past 4 years and imo it is an awful user experience with a big learning curve.

Webthings is beautifully simple and just works but it's also immature and constrainted compared to HA.

For my needs, controlling some Bali Z-Wave blinds, it works perfectly though.

That already happens. Section 8 is profitable for the right landlords...

Yes, rents going down is not what a landlord wants. Just like salary going down (all things being equal). But it's not as if all landlords are conspiring to keep people homeless to increase their rents.

Yes they would accuse/blame the homelessness solver of decreasing their rents and they would be correct. I'm not a landlord and I would 'blame' or point out the same thing. That doesn't mean that I think it's wrong while at the same time correctly identifying it as the cause...
Not bad. I see many people who mention a SaaS, books, a website, etc. and a lot of the time it doesn't look all that passive for the typically small amount of income it brings in. Nothing wrong with any of these things of course. They're just not really a passive income stream.

Of course, very few things are truly passive, especially things that have minimal risk to the original capital.

I would argue that this is more a problem with the legal requirements than with the equipment - the law(maker) has expectations you can’t reasonably fulfill.

Although "do you have this thing when alone on island" is a good test for determining which sort of right you're talking about, that is not the reason to make a distinction.

The reason you make a distinction is because the two kinds need to be handled in different ways, and that is harder to do if you are constantly conflating them.
The history of the First Amendment has been nuance and subtle application. It really isn't an either-or.

personally Im surprised R is still in active development when the main use case for people to use R (at least when I was using it) was for statistical analysis. Python with its libraries (a lot I believe ported from R) just does is nicer, and faster.
DOS was simple enough that it can be considered essentially bug free. And in an embedded setting there are not going to be TSRs (you just boot directly into the application) and probably no DOS calls during the runtime. You would only use disks for special operations such as software updates.

The right way to fix this is one single smart device, which is the only device connected to the dumb TV. The best of these types don't have a remote. They're controlled by a phone.

If the intelligence is built into the TV then it cannot be updated or replaced -- so either there will again be multiple devices, or the TV will need to be replaced on a frequent basis.

A smart TV makes the problem you describe even worse

This reminds me of a recent submission about Wayland colour management and HDR work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25159592.

In particular https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/wayland-protocols/-/blo... was linked which discussed how a wayland compositor would have to display mixed "HDR" and SDR content on the same display. This document even has references to EDR. Ultimately this would end up achieving a similar result as what's described in the blog post here.

If you're interested in the technical details on what may be necessary to achieve something like this, the wayland design document might be a good read.
Displaying the time is not always needed; _tracking_ the time (storing it into a variable) is pretty much unavoidable.
This reminds me a little of Marie Curie:

"While many of her contemporaries began to appreciate the increasingly apparent dangers of radioactivity and took precautions to protect themselves, Curie used her bare hands in her work and often pipetted by mouth. She even kept a vial of pure radium salts by her bedside to enjoy its “fairy-like glow.”[1]

Also, many think about those working directly with bomb development and cores, but those processing Uranium had their share of radiation. St. Louis even has a Uranium waste site at their airport[2] that they would just dump into a pile without any covering, letting dust go up into the air over the surrounding neighborhoods. Some of the kids played in that "black dirt", sliding down it for fun[3].
