Samsung is worse, their OS is horrendous. LG allows local control fairly well and has Home Assistant support.

Samsung is a complete mess, now charging $5/month to use smarthings with no local control. I'll never buy Samsung.

You have 3 replies all saying the same thing, install a ATV...

But the replies are missing the point that most people aren't techies and won't go do this. They go to big box store, buy the tv, ask if it has netflix, done.

They won't (and shouldn't need to) install a ATV.

I can also vacuum my floor 3x faster than a robot vacuum. But so what, I'm not there when it happens.

This seems more likely than racism, or us exceptionalism as mentioned above.

People are and should be skeptical of this. The natural response would be

a) It will put me out of a job

b) I won't be able to afford it anyway.

There has not been a pro-US exceptionalism tone in any HN thread in awhile. Go to any thread recently and it's pretty anti-capitalism/anti-US.

The whole discussion is hubris. This is a discussion of a twitter post about something that is announced to happen but hasn't yet.

Not one person here has any idea what is going to happen long term.

Yes, it's close to 100x and it's easy to calculate this.

Take a $10 claude sub and fill it with Fable/Opus for a month (meaning use all your tokens) and then use one of the many token/session recording tools (I like agentsview).

It will show you how much your token cost is at current rates if using an api. I use the $20 plan and I don't use all my tokens, and am around 50x.

" can't put my finger on it exactly but Democrats have a tendency to message on those issues in ways that are either counter-productive or get soundbit saying something moronic."

There are people that have explained this a lot better than I have, but here is my poor paraphrasing to answer your question.

Democrats are a bit less centrally controlled and you have a mix of Progressives/Greens etc.. that would prefer their own party but the closest thing they have is the DNC. Some of these ideas are not universally shared even in the Democratic party but they try to include them all.

Compare this with the GOP, there are also disagreements but until recently has a pretty unifiying message. This makes it easier to rally a base.

I could be off, and stating incorrectly but this is how I see it.

I know HN doesn't like vids for obvious reasons but Marques summed it pretty well IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZdbbN3FCzE

OnePlus starting out: "We’re going to build the ultimate, cheap, bloatware-free phone directly for tech nerds by cutting out carriers, ads, and useless features."

OnePlus scaling up: "Nerds don't buy enough phones to keep us alive, and they'll leave the second someone else is $10 cheaper. We have to sell to normal people."

OnePlus today: To survive, they had to raise prices, buy ads, partner with carriers, and merge with a generic parent company.
