Romania?


I believe most smart TVs use Android as the base, so I would think yes.


I think Samsung still use Tizen (still Linux, seems to use Toybox) and LG uses WebOS (Linux again, not sure if it uses Toybox).


Just looked through my TV, webOS uses Busybox.


please teach me how to do this, I have a webos lg tv which is literally not being used because my father used to watch youtube but then youtube almost stopped working on it and there are no more updates and I tried to root it but i couldn't and I just want to use it instead of it being a junk.

Any guide on helping me prevent some e-waste at my home. I would prefer to have complete linux access of my lgtv and use something like tiny core linux on my webos tv or something, is something like this possible or?


Normally how you realize your TV runs busybox is by looking at the last parts of the manual, not by just casually sshing into it and running busybox --version.


It is however a lot easier to SSH into it.

root@lgwebostv:~# busybox

BusyBox v1.29.2 (2024-06-12 00:33:13 UTC) multi-call binary.



Use it with a setup box?


my parents bought the "smart" tv a decade ago to switch away from setup box

It was kinda expensive at the time, its wild of sorts how cheap of sorts TV's have become right now but still we bought it and its just e-waste right now.

I am thinking of setting up a raspberry pi but I am more interested in learning the inner details or how to do things preferably without raspberry pi as well


It's not e-waste. Your ignorance for the easy solution makes it e-waste. There is nothing to learn from bad embedded systems.


This is a horrible idea. If you want to discourage people from submitting reports then this is how you do it..


Reducing waste, fraud, and abuse is always only one side of the story. I agree it would have false negative impact (someone does not submit a good report that otherwise would have), but I don't think that instantly makes it a horrible idea. I think the net effect would have to be studied, but I highly doubt all true postive reports would become false negatives. The goal is reducing false positives, so it is going to be a tradeoff and you'd need specific numbers to conclude anything.

Do you really think it is a horrible idea? That is just so harsh of a label.


It's working fine for me on Firefox


fascinating! I think it's really cool that this is possible, and at the same time kine of sad that the norm is slowly moving towards more locked-down APIs.


> slowly moving towards

Depends what we accept as norm.


something something law of excluded middle


It's blatantly obvious; nobody uses so many bullet points.


I do :(

It's a great and concise way to write!


Yep, me too. Always loved to write in bullet points and in fact, I prompted the LLMs explicitly to do so.


True! We love bullet points! :)


If this is the startup that finally unleashes AI spam bot articles and comments to the top of HackerNews, I'm gonna quit the internet and move into a log cabin.


It was already the case that no one reads the article before commenting. Soon it will be that no one writes the article either.


Just need AI to write the comments and the circle of life will be complete


Or we just skip the middlemen and exchange our prompts instead.

Back to the core issue - apparently few people took a long enough look at the article to notice it was co-written by AI; i.e. there were human editors in the loop. Sure, the format is a bit off-putting, but that's IMO mostly because nobody can be arsed to write like that, even if their own thesis supervisor told them they should, as proper structuring makes it easier for the reader to understand a complex topic.

Anyway, point is, I personally have no issue with people using AI to improve their texts - LLMs already are better at writing than most people anyway. Just as long as the saved effort is put into ensuring the content itself is valuable and communicated well.


Totally agree!


It doesn't matter whether you use AI or not, what matters is whether your articles are relevant and useful or not


no, for copyright and other social agreements, there has to be a declaration of authorship for original works.. maybe others can expand and clarify; certainly will vary on the major marketplaces in the world


> for copyright and other social agreements, there has to be a declaration of authorship for original works

It's the Internet - we never cared about such things here. Attribution and linking, yes. "Copyright" and "authorship of original works" - are you sure you're not a legacy publisher desperate to insert itself into the free exchange of knowledge and put up a toll gate? :).

I'm joking, but only a little. Unless you actually believe LLMs sin against the Church of Intellectual Property with every token they produce, this complaint feels out of place in context of a blog post summarizing research work done in the open. There are situations in which one could try to argue LLMs violate rights of some authors, but this isn't one of such situations.


your clown talk ? yeah probably not copyrightable

The US copyright system is not a one-line profane insult topic, to me.. we are different, yes


Hey, the more clownish I talk, the better chance I have at getting it protected as original work!


I loved bullet points before AI was a thing. Now I'm accused of being AI.


Same here lol! I ask it to write in bullet points every time


Yeah he wrote for the New York Times didn't he? In our freshman year we actually had to read one of his columns for it.


I've always wanted to build something like this, but I have no idea where to get the actual flipdiscs.


There's always a relevant xkcd isn't there
