That thread goes into how Samsung has confirmed that this ad can’t show up like it did [1]. There are many comments in that thread debunking this. Which is why I linked the whole thread, not a single comment. When something posts something

I know this is the sort of story HN would love to be true (and to be clear, I think ads on appliances are Black Mirror level stuff), but this — like most things on Reddit — is made up. [1] This story, while fun to discuss, should be flagged

You’re arguing semantics, but not really tying it back to OP’s point regarding AI and price and/or value.

Red flag: the meeting has more than 10 attendees (maybe even fewer). Decline. Meetings with more than 10 attendees usually means only one - maybe 2-3 - people are talking. This can be recorded and shared out. Don’t make me sit through a mon

Anytime I do this — and I did it long before AI did — they are always em dashes, because iOS/macOS translates double dashes to em dashes. I think there may be a way to disable this, but I don’t care enough to bother. If people want to

I don’t believe I ever said “don’t learn how to do the thing”. But many learn how to do the thing, and still never do it.

But learning about, while possibly a prerequisite, still isn’t getting it done. The point is: don’t stop at learning how to do the thing. Actually do the thing.

When I clicked the link, seeing it so high on the FP, I was 100% convinced they were finally re-releasing + rebranding the Mini. Then I saw what it was, and was like “ah it’s an April Fools joke — but wait, it’s not April 1st”. So now I can

Glad I wasn’t the only one. But knowing the things that pop up on HN, something like remotely massaging someone via a receipt printer is totally believable. I’m actually hoping someone reads this and creates a remote massaging receipt print

To me, when I think “abstract”, I think “no theme”. Games that aren’t abstract have a theme that helps make sense of the rules of the game. There are also games with themes that don’t really help make sense of the rules — the theme is jus

The WF is not even 25 years old. It’s crazy to think it will exist another 100 years, let alone 1000. Even the US isn’t 1000 years old. Who’s to say it will even exist in a remotely recognizable form in 1000 years. The last 1000 years chang

Of course, but that’s assuming: 1. There aren’t serious side effects that make it more of a tradeoff 2. The price isn’t on the order of 6-7 figures (or possibly less for some)

To be fair: 1. I get a lot more value out of (some) Reddit threads than I get out of most online journalism, including Ars Technica, so I’m never surprised to see really bad quality from journalism. 2. I’ve had two Google displays in my hom
