I disagree that most of your examples are comparable, with the exception of gyms and coworkers/colleagues to a degree. Getting your hair cut is a qualitatively different type of experience. You have to sit still while it's happening, you can't just wander off. And there's even a degree of physical intimacy involved, even if it's purely professional. Likewise, in church you have to sit still, you can't go on your phone or leave early without people judging you. I think there's a reason why fitness quasi-cults like Crossfit and Soul Cycle have emerged, because the same principle is at play, social interaction with strangers is baked into the process. Sure, there are strangers at bars, concerts, etc., but you don't really have to engage with them and can walk away or go on your phone at any time.
One could build a self driving prototype in a weekend of hacking (using the libraries, tooling, etc available) and train it. I think it's a perfect example of the weekend prototype vs production reality difference.
Huh, that's interesting. Although to be fair I haven't seen these descriptors used outside of the United States.

I think some people have misunderstood this change. It's been active for me for about a week, I suspect most others without accounts just haven't noticed.

Clicking on a linked tweet still works, it's only when you then click on another from within the site that it asks you for a login. It's the same approach Quora takes iirc.
Cool analysis!

• HBO is wrong

• You're not representative of either their user base or the user base they want

Somewhat perverse that it seems like the fall of Kabul was the motivation for this change.
Obviously that's not the point, here. The fact that Samsung has the ability to brick a TV remotely _at all_ is ridiculous. It's not hard to imagine this being used by an attacker to shut down all Samsung TVs remotely, or for planned obsolescence if you want to be more cynical.
You've got four customizable buttons on it; consider setting two to double- and triple-click.
I guess this will just greatly inconvenience people who bought the TV from the bandits. But well, if this press release is well-distributed among the public, then they will know to avoid buying Samsung TVs from the backs of vans, and the thieves will avoid Samsung warehouses.

Alternatively maybe Samsung should just offer the innocent buyers a e.g. 5% discount to "legitimize" their TVs, so if they bought the TV from the back of the van for 50% off, they'll in effect need to pay 145% of the retail price. In effect the thieves would have become a new, strange, retail arm. It's like Uber, but for TV distribution!(TM)

More thoughts: the thieves should just cut off the Ethernet port (do they even have these?) and open the TV up and unplug the WiFi antenna. Sure it won't be an Internet TV anymore, but hey, at least their customers/suckers can still watch stuff.
SF seems like not the best place to pilot this from a risk management perspective (ex: homeless people messing with the cars).

I don't think it's reasonable to be forced to choose OSX or Windows. Not reasonable at all.

And I just... don't care anymore. I know it's not y'all's fault. It's the fault of the biz world which refuses to cater to any but the lowest common denominator. They could go for a solution that works with minimalist Linux systems so their sec suite doesn't conflict with my desired userland, like say a kernel extension interfacing with a daemon that just does the basics. Offer instructions and say you're on your own if you wanna go this route. Instead I get Carbon Black rammed down my throat. Which is better than McAfee but still. And McAfee still won't uninstall cleanly, and guess whether I have root access.

The problem is these companies simply don't want to work with their most capable and talented engineers. And, well, I just don't care anymore. These companies can just bleed talent to the free software sector for the next decade or two.
This hadn't ever crossed my mind! Thanks for the tip.

I wonder if I can adb root into my tv via some USB port. Some hardware hacker probably has figured this out - time to go look.
Currently federated identity providers do not provide a separate identity to each site you are authenticated on. At that point any collaborating sites can pull together all the information you give to any one of them. Hell, in most cases your "identity" is your email address, so every site you authenticate with can spam you directly.

"Trust tokens" was built to deal with these issues just for this use case:

Some people will pay, not knowing the TV was stolen.

A batch of stolen TV's could end up in the ends of a legit distributors; someone could end up with that by walking into some established brick-and-mortar discount TV warehouse type place.

Gee, I hope that everything you own that you got off Craigslist in good faith and paid for is remotely disabled if it had been stolen, while the thieves enjoy the money. Because you're the bad guy!
What happens instead is just that people use trucks to move the oil, instead of the more efficient pipelines. That makes it somewhat more expensive, which makes the oil somewhat less useful economically, and therefore somewhat less used. On the other hand, the trucks pollute more than the pipeline would have.

Are you sure your approach is helping?
I recently bought a TCL TV specifically because I trust Roku to maintain their software more than someone like Samsung. The ads drive me insane, even if they're relatively unobtrusive. At least in that case the TV was much cheaper (~$500 for a 55" TV)
Yossarian shot up in bed; "I see everything twice!" he cried. The TV licensing auditors hurried into the room. "How many TV shows are playing?" one asked, holding up one screen. "Two" said Yossarian. "Now how many?", pointing at two mirrored screens with a delay between them. "Two" said Yossarian. "And now?" switching both screens off. "Two" said Yossarian.

The TV licensing auditors conferred amongst themselves. "If he sees everything twice, he needs two licenses" one argued. "Hold on" said another, "he reported seeing six shows, he needs six licenses". "We showed him three, he saw six, he needs nine licenses" said another. The second one's eyes narrowed. "The law doesn't allow him to see more than one, he needs a fine". "If he's creating new feeds without permissions, that's distribution and copyright infringement, he could be facing a custodial sentence for this". They turned to Yossarian who decided it had gone far enough. "I see everything once!" he cried. "Destruction of evidence now, is it?".

It's Content-22: if you don't want to watch it, there's no money to be made from you so you can - better that you watch and talk about it than not. But if you do want to watch it, then you can't, not without paying. The content is made for people who want it, but those are the very people who have to be kept from it. The people who want to come in, can't, and the people who want to share it, mustn't.

Yossarian thought about Content-22. He picked up a book. "Put me through to cancellations, I have been meaning to do more reading lately". The TV licensing auditors hesitated and glanced at each other. "One license per person, covers all screens, after all you can only watch one at a time" said one. "We can give you a discount if you extend your license for another year?" said another. "And send you an upgraded set-top box for being a loyal customer".
This used to be the case for most communities in America, before we decided that externalizing and professionalizing everything was the "economically efficient" solution. If you had a problem, you'd talk to the elder folks in your community and see what they thought about it. Now we barely know our neighbors and our community elders are shipped off to special-purpose holding facilities.
Yeah, that worked out great. The Taxis are all out of business and Uber’s magical robot taxis didn’t appear.

From a quick read of that page, she seems to be talking about management by relatively small groups, where some percentage of peolple know each other and social norms can be powerful incentives. I'm not sure that scales to international issues, where there is little common culture.
In an ideal world there would be a professionalism gradient for mental health the same way there is for physical health. The physical health gradient starts with yourself (trying to eat healthy), passes through your friends casually assisting (participating in outdoor activities, discussing food, telling you they're staying home because they're sick), then hits easily accessible treatments (pharmacy), moves on to more difficult treatments (doctor's visit), and then finally to ultra-expensive high-risk technological approaches.

In contrast, the mental health picture for isolated urban professionals starts with self-regulation, then jumps straight to being treated by The System. Therapists catch a broad range of problems that don't need all their training just by virtue of being the first rung on a ladder that starts 20 feet off the ground.
I'm not sure that's entirely true. I feel like the same dynamic is still present in mixed-gender salons.

They may share the experience of being called "black" by people around them. Maybe not in their respective countries, as racial categories tend to change a lot based on society, however maybe if they were to meet in the same place. For example, many of my East African friends didn't realize they were "black" until they came to the US. Similarly, I felt more "white" when I was living in Tanzania as there were very few people who shared my skin tone, hair style, eye color, etc. So while I may not have had the same language as a Danish person in Tanzania, we shared a lot more physically than I did with some of the local Tanzanians and were often categorized the same by them anyways.
I don’t care that the evil company A has an obligation to evil company B to screw me. I just despise being screwed.
I have an older friend who is severely financially restricted, and who isn't very technically savvy. I bought him a Fire TV so he'd have a ton of free online options in addition to the OTA channels. More than a few times he's gotten confused by something he thought was free. I wish they had a "free only" display mode.
Multicast can wreak havoc on a WiFi network. Clients that are further away from your AP require sending data at a slower rate and APs will try to send the data slow enough so that all clients can receive the traffic. In practice this means a 1mbps multicast stream will take far more than 1% of a 100mbps network and in some cases I have seen it shut down a network entirely. At my day job we disabled receiving multicast (IPTV) feeds over WiFi years ago because we have never seen it work well enough to be worth it.

It may not scale to rural areas though. There are some roads were you don't need to look at the road in front of your: it is there and nothing else is. Instead you need to watch the ditches in a wide area around because that is where wildlife will jump out of in front of you.
Physically eliminating the RF capabilities of a device without impacting the rest of its functions is usually feasible with enough patience. Your options include blocking external radiation (add copper mesh/foil), or destroying the device's antennas.

Musk turns on Tesla’s latest FSD beta, says it’s not great
I considers the logging/lumber issue as initially I thought much better to mulch the trees to increase soil levels and replant but not sure how that would net out carbon wise.

But in the case of houses, you have these costs, but you also offsetting bricks and concrete etc. This also has a huge carbon production but without the offset. Also increasingly the logging and transport will be cleaner as EVs advance.

And yes buildings will be hauled to landfill, but that's timber in landfill and burying carbon for some time too.

Would be interesting for someone to run the numbers on actual impact.
I don’t have proof of purchase for 90% of the stuff I own. It’s insane to expect people to hang on to receipts for eternity.
Waymo and Tesla have very different approaches to autonomy. I think both are valid avenues, but it's fascinating to watch them develop in parallel. You don't have to make it into a spiteful contest.
oh the tyranny of having a product which you purchase and think you own have all functionality be remotely disabled—effectively becoming a multi thousand dollar paperweight—at the whim of a large international corporation with no real recourse...
and for its trouble and for its more risk bank is getting a higher rate than variable. bank run numbers so it receive acceptable level of risk.
Sorry for that. We had quite a bit of interest from people wanting to offer APIs and this just fell through and we tried to evaluate how we were going to do this right now.

So easy to fall into the trap of supporting less-than-ethical practices in the name of 'cuteness'. Worth a read.
The issue is that it's hard to find any not-too-smart TVs with up to date technology (4k, OLED, HDR etc). Unless you spend a fortune on a luxury brand like Bang and Olufsen.
Makes me want to lose my scruples, figure out the next $Thing, get fantastically wealthy from it, and retire.
This is not to firmware though. Is there an OSS firmware that can be used to replace whatever crap Samsung has on these devices?
That would be verifiable by looking at the economic and educational outcomes of African and Caribbean immigrants in comparison to ADOS. If discrimination is all there is to it then their outcomes should be the same. Spoiler alert: It's not the same.

Ghanian and Nigerian Americans make above the median white household income. Barbadian, Trinidadian, Jamaican, and Haitian Americans all make above the median African American household income. Mexican Americans score below African Americans, but above Puerto Ricans. Dominicans are dead last. Would you conclude, based on the data, that Hispanics face WORSE discrimination than blacks, even when they're born citizens like Puerto Ricans? Could this be a reason that the left is bleeding hispanic voters, when they're constantly being fed a racial narrative that's incongruent with their day-to-day experience and needs? When a Mexican American who may have a black boss hears on TV that blacks have it worse than anybody else do you think they might start losing a bit of trust in the experts?

Sadly necessary disclaimer: I'm not black or white I'm just calling it as I see it.
I appreciate the consistent application of such guidelines.
forget smart TVs, I want somebody to just make a decent dumb TV. Same thing goes for cars, I feel like there is a huge market for "dumb" products. Manufacturers feel the need to keep adding features for some reason

> People in the US forget that most Latinos are indeed white

No, people forget that “race” is a social construct, not a biological fact, and that as socially constructed in the US, Latinos are generally nonwhite, despite the fact that (in an attempt to protect the illusion of race as a genuine biological trait) the US government explicitly created the notionally orthogonal “ethnicity” axis with only two values (“Hispanic/Latino” and “Not Hispanic/Latino”) for government reporting.

“White” is a fluid concept that is socially constructed differently in different societies, even—especially—by pro-White racists in each society.
What is currently being ridiculed on HN (other than crypto) ? Asking for a friend
The big concern is that driving as a human skill is reactive and adaptive, whereas ML (and software in general) models are pre-baked. If something happens outside the car's model, it will react unpredictably, and strange circumstances can arise while driving. AGI, as based on human cognition, would have the capability to adapt to as-yet-unseen circumstances.
For reddit, IMO the simplest things you can do to improve the experience is to force the old reddit design (old.reddit.com) when on desktop, and use any app except the official app when on mobile.
Samsung’s use of ACR is the other big source of discomfort. That’s some creepy stuff right there. LG has something similar too, but it was off by default in mine.

“Samsung Smart TVs have built-in Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology that can understand viewing behavior and usage including programs, movies, ads, gaming content and OTT apps in real-time.”

You forgot a fifth one: Self driving is possible but follows the 80/20 rule that states that the last 20% of work requires 80% of the effort. We probably haven't even started on that 20%
Great, they built a smaller, more expensive, less flexible, and less useful BUS.

"I could do that in a weekend" is obviously idiotic but why choose Google as the example (possibly the hardest piece of software to replicate)?
Science can be used to analyze subjective experiences, but analyzing something and being the one and only all-knowing oracle is a big difference. Science is always constrained to an ideal world, but reality is messy. There is no one correct way to pull out a piece of egg shell that got into the pan by mistake while cooking.

Also I believe predicting things like favorite meals is possible to a high degree of certainty, but there is always a gap between the nice theoretical world and the real world. Maybe it's your favorite meal because your grandmother always cooked it for you. How do you define a meal? How much egg can you add or remove before it becomes a different meal?

If my arguments seem too hand wavy, consider the incompleteness theorem. There are truths in mathematics that cannot be shown to be true. Why should messy real life give you stronger guarantees than the clean world of mathematics? Why should there always be one correct way of doing things that we can deduce?

Or let's say I bet that a certain Turing machine doesn't halt. What does science say about this? Is this rational? Should I have bet that it does halt?

Science is one of the best tools available, but it will not solve all of humanity's problems.

It goes against pretty much everything in the zeitgeist, but yeah, men and boys are really hurting from this lack of all-male spaces. I hope culture boomerangs around enough to permit them sometime soon.
This is where I personally believe we need to think about business models differently. It's very easy to just assume things based on per request pricing or creating some form of subscription but often it's just limiting growth of the product. Social found a way to grow consumer use by finding the buyer on the other side. We're hoping to find something similar for APIs.
SF is a real nightmare to drive. If they can nail it there, that's 2/2 for busy, urban street driving (SF) and "boring" suburban driving (Chandler, AZ)

So if I don’t want a chemical plant built on the property behind my house, I should advocate for the government to buy all the land rather than have zoning laws? That’s ridiculous.

Waymo is currently the only SAE Level 4[0] self-driving car in use, right? The wheel must not be used. Even though it is limited to two cities.

Their technology seems an order of magnitude above the rest, although factoring in its cost could make it look worse. (Can it turn a profit, when including the development costs?)

Tesla FSD is at best SAE level 3 (can need human fallback), and at worst level 2 (needs constant human monitoring).
