If only that worked for conversation mode as well. At least for me, and especially when it answers me in Norwegian, it will start off with all sorts of platitudes and whole sentences repeating exactly what I just asked. "Oh, so you want to do x, huh? Here is answer for x". It's very annoying. I just want a robot to answer my question, thanks.
repeating what is being asked is fine i think, sometimes is thinks you want something different to what you actually want. what is annoying is "that's and incredibly insightul question that delves into a fundamental..." type responses at the start.
Bought one, and I have regrets... Every time I turn it on and start watching something, after about 10 minutes a nag screen modal pops up for me to activate AI voice features. At first I entered the wizard and hit cancel. But that's not good enough, It will just keep showing up until you hit accept and activate it. I have since then deleted the Bixby account. We'll see how long it takes until it starts nagging me again.
Also random features require you to be logged in to a Samsung account on the TV. Like picture-in-picture for instance.
I'm considering refunding it, but it has absolutely brilliant picture quality though.
During the whole API debacle all the RSS feeds in my reader got rate limited or blocked, so I just stopped using Reddit. Maybe I'll give it another go if they actually started allowing RSS again.
I've given up on Reddit, after all of their moves that seemed to be explicitly hostile to their users. I know some people still get value out of it, and I'm happy for them, but I'm not particularly interested anymore.
It's more bots / paid actors than real conversations at this point anyway. They're just milking the honeypot for that LLM training money until it runs out.
Most people seem to be in Discord. The quality is just as bad as Reddit, but at least it's not overrun with bots and there isn't an upvote system causing an echo chamber effect.
The quality of the content is terrible too now that you get banned for saying the wrong words. And I'm not talking about "woke" stuff - you can get a permanent site-wide ban for saying things like Elon Musk is a Nazi, or just at random.
Well, Teslas use low cost consumer cameras. Not DSLRs. Bad framerate, bad resolution and bad dynamic range. Very far from human vision and easily blinded and completely washed out by sudden shifts in light.
You can compare the size of the cameras used in Tesla with the size (of the lenses at least) on the Waymo rig, and they do not look like they’re in the same league, optically.
I’m consistently surprised by how my Tesla can see a traffic light with the sun directly behind it. They seem to have solved the washout problem in practice.
Even if you buy it, they will still constantly nag for you to get their subscription service. And they arbitrarily lock most new features behind it, like 3D views and such.
Mostly it's about milking app sales with the app store fees. Apple for instance get's about 15-20% of it's gross profit from app store fees. For Google it has been estimated that play store fees make up about 13% of their Google services profit.
I think initiatives like this are a form of "marketing" to show that "hey, app stores are important because we protect the users. We shouldn't be regulated away."
A more sensible approach to this law would be to require adult sites to include a clear marker in either an HTTP header or an HTML meta tag. For example:
This would allow locally run browser content blockers to automatically detect such sites without blocking them individually, and it would be trivial for site operators to implement. Since it would be mandated by law, sites that refuse to comply could be subject to legal action.
Of course, this would still rely on parents taking the basic step of setting up a content blocker before allowing their children unrestricted internet access.
