This is part of the reason why I believe cars should delegate as much software functionality to your phone as possible. Phones have good voice assistants and they will get better, same with GPS and music. Just let the phone do it. Plus, when the software is out of support you don't have to buy a new car.

You're missing the point. None of this matters. You're purposefully not addressing the underlying problem - extrajudicial executions - because the conclusion must make you uncomfortable.

Today, the punishment for fleeing is not execution. The conversation ends there. Everything else is just noise, and you know that, so stop.

Yes, there's no business case for humanoid robots.

There's a business case for robots that are specialized in specific repetitive actions, and we already see this in manufacturing. But general purpose humanoid robots make no sense.

They're incredibly expensive and, from what we've seen, worse across the board compared to humans. It's cheaper to just hire humans.

The human form is actually pretty shit at most things. But, it can do everything. There's just little purpose for that in a business case. You know what you're doing, so you just need robots to do that, not to try to be humans.

Like, okay, you can get a humanoid robot to be a burger flipper. But that makes no sense. You can, instead, have an automated burger cooking machine. Which do exist! I worked in a restaurant with one 10 years ago.

There are many things impeding you from doing so and you know it, because Apple designed it that way. Walled garden, remember?

Apple and Google each respectively have a monopoly in their markets. Only apple approved apps may be installed on an iPhone.

Digital goods DO NOT work like physical goods. I can just buy another washing machine. I CANNOT just choose to opt out of using a smartphone. My choices are apple or Google, and even within those choices it's limited by network effects.

That's a very temporary solution to be fair. KDE and even, shudder, Gnome put mac os and windows to shame when it comes to responsiveness, performance, and resource usage.

I mean, KDE does 3x the stuff for 1/3 the cost. That's more memory and CPU for your IDE or, more likely, chrome tabs.

Windows explorer got significantly better in 11, except for fucking context menus. Also it's incredibly slow and unstable now and frequently crashes, taking the taskbar down with it (???).

But, at least it has tabs. Jesus Christ, took long enough.

The same is true of Linux - GTK3 apps runs just fine on Plasma, and so do GTK4, and Qt 5, and Qt 6, and X11 apps, and on.

Sure they all look slightly different, but it's definitely worse on Windows in that regard.

It's not relevant because neither are justications for a shooting.

Why did George Floyd counterfeit a 20 or whatever? I don't know, but I do know he deserved due process, not a public execution. Regardless of your political affiliation.

Also, nobody tried to run anyone over. That's just straight up not true and I won't humor it, so don't bother.

Trump supporters aren't stupid, they understand they lose credibility if they just say they have blind faith in Trump.

They demonstrate it through their actions and misinformation tactics. You'll find many outright wrong comments on the recent ICE shootings, and many emotionally charged comments suggesting it's good that people got what they deserved.

They'll also misinformation about the types of undocumented people, and how many there are. These are obvious falsehoods, including things such as claiming random citizens are actually terrorists when they're just not. Or claiming we somehow have 100 million undocumented people.

If someone is parroting official speech from the DHS, which these days is almost always outright lies, then we can safely assume they are a trump supporter. We're well past the point of healthy conversation or skepticism. If you believe just about anything this administration or DHS says, you are closer to a cult member than a rational, reasoning human.

This doesn't even touch our, ahem, overseas facilities, which certainly do not have the same standards.

Trying to flee is famously not a justification for murder, if anything it's the opposite. You're literally kicking someone while they're down. Or, uh, shooting them. Obviously a fleeing person is not a threat to your life, which is the ONLY justification for a shooting.

Yes same system, then again at 240hz. Realistically I think just about any modern GPU can composite at 240 fps, although I see what you mean if I did an SSD upgrade or something, but I didn't.

I never complained about 60, then I went to 144 and 60 feels painful now. The latency is noticable in every interaction, not just gaming. It's immediately evident - the computer just feels more responsive, like you're in complete control.

Even phones have moved in this direction, and it's immediately noticable when using it for the first time.

I'm now on 240hz and the effect is very diminished, especially outside of gaming. But even then I notice it, although stepping down to 144 isn't the worst. 60, though, feels like ice on your teeth.

Depending on why you do it, yes. Believe it or not intent matters.

And I also generally believe it's bad, because it breeds a toxic and self-eating culture.

Nobody said it was. But it's not bad because of chemicals, because all bread is created with chemicals.

As for natural versus artificial - that's also bullshit. There's many natural ingredients that are poison, and many artificial ones that are good for you.

I mean, if I eat home made fried chicken everyday, you can bet your ass I'm not gonna live very long.

Anyone who believes ICE is legitimately trying to rectify illegal immigration is either too stupid to function or a liar.

Because I give the benefit of the doubt, I will assume most people are not that stupid. So, the only option left is they don't actually believe it, and it's just virtue signalling to their fascist overloads. Personally, I think that's a bit pathetic, not to mention naive. Nobody has any reason to think they will be spared, citizen or not.

Nobody is forcing you to do anything. You're choosing to comment. You're not being censored nor is your speech compelled.

This forum is for hacker news. Some people believe tech news related to politics qualifies, some don't.

Your perspective is equally arbitrary. You have no reasoning, no justification. So stop pretending you do.

The US is currently descending into fascim. With each passing day, we see more bold and obviously illegal actions that we would not have dreamed up in our wildest nightmares.

They voted for something else, they were conned by populist messaging.

Everything even vaguely critical of trump is immediately flagged, tech or not. Christ, we've seen outright propaganda generated by this administration using AI, which is obviously something hackers care about, be flagged relentlessly.

It's very obvious this administration and it's supporters are trying to control the narrative of their crimes against the American people. It's evident with their doctoring of evidence, their outright deceit, and the suspicious censorship we see across the entire web. Including HN.

They can't, they don't have a steering wheel or remote controller or anything. And this is supported by the fact that waymos are actually level 4 autonomous, and Tesla's are not.

This has nothing to do with Elon musk. From a purely technical standpoint, no - Tesla DOES NOT have autonomous vehicles to the level of their competitors. It's not a matter of opinion.

I don't know, ask iMessage, Google messages, and, ironically, whatsapp.

And, as everyone knows, the typical punishment for resisting arrest is public execution.

In revolutionary France.

No it's entirely different on a technical level, because waymos always drive themselves. The human operators don't drive, and in fact can't, they can only make decisions that the car then executes.

Waymos are autonomous vehicles, Tesla has some vehicles which may operate autonomously in certain circumstances. There's a big difference.

The fact that none of this is new undermines your point. Microsoft knew that law enforcement would ask for keys, based on their prior experience and the sack of meat sitting between their ears.

They, knowing that, chose to design a system that trivially allows this. That is a choice. In that sense, they did give up the keys. They certainly did not have to design it that way, nor was it done in ignorance.

Right, but none of those safety devices invalidate the underlying purpose of the tools. Disk encryption is used, for many people, for privacy. Uploading the keys to Microsoft defeats a lot of that.

If you bought a table saw and the "safety device" is that it won't run, I would imagine you'd be pissed too.

It goes even deeper than this, because your account can be linked to a microsoft account later, by logging into microsoft services like Teams.

Yes, labor can be shockingly cheap, especially if it's gig labor. You need A LOT of labor to outrun the capital investment.

The military is basically a jobs program. We do it because it pumps money into the economy and gives us our own little socialism. It's our little New Deal kingdom.
