<p>I find it hard to believe that Oneplus is spending engineering and business recourses, upsetting a portion of their own userbase, and creating more e-waste because they want to reduce the global demand for stolen phones. They only have like 3% of the total market, they can't realistically move that needle.<p>I don't understand what business incentives they would have to make "reduce global demand for stolen phones" a goal they want to invest in.</p>

<p>Phone thieves aren't checking which phone brand I have before they knick my phone. Your scenerio is not improved by making Oneplus phones impossible to use once they're stolen.</p>

<p>It ain't normal to me. If I bought a phone, I should be able to decide that I want to run different software on it.<p>Let's say OP takes a very different turn with their software that I am comfortable with - say reporting my usage data to a different country. I should be able to say "fuck that upgrade, I'm going to run the software that was on my phone when I originally bought it"<p>This change blocks that action, and from my understanding if I try to do it, it bricks my phone.</p>

<p>I'm back in school part time for a bachelor's, and have recently had a class where I had a professor who really understood how to implement LLM's into the class.<p>Our written assignments were a lot of "have an LLM generate a business proposal, then  annotate it yourself"<p>The final exam was a 30 minute meeting where we just talked as peers, kinda like a cultural job interview. Sure there's lots of potential for bias there, but I think it's better than just blindly passing students using LLM's for the final exam.</p>

<p>There's no way to make these safe - it's almost comical and this could be an April 1st joke.<p>Case 1) how are you handling potential rapid TCAS climbs/decent? You're making the targets a lot larger and less responsive. If TCAS commands a decent and slow down, you will be overtaken by the tow.<p>Case 2) landings thay require rapid braking, such as short runways for emergencies or engine fires (rapid brakes used so emergency vehicles don't have to chase 2km to get to you)<p>Case 3) aborted take offs. Brakes will need to be more performant and reactive than the ones we have on the main aircraft<p>Case 4) taxiing across active runways now has reduced margins.<p>Case 5) go-around performance is diminished. Already sometimes tight margins on that, what happens if you need to do a go around but the landing gear on the glider collapsed and is now a ground anchor?</p>

<p>A lot of indexes and measurements are like this though when there is a potentially infinite range on one side.<p>Erdős numbers for instance, a higher number indicates less distance to Erdős.</p>

<p>If you are making this comparison to build quality, I think there are some large problems in your logic.<p>The Chinese combat ships were at a much higher level of combat readiness, and hence a lot more crew who knew what they were actively doing and had their stations prepared accordingly.<p>The Norwegian vessel had most of her crew asleep and we're navigating in friendly waters.</p>

<p>This topic is naturally viewed through a survivorship lens, but I don't think it is a bias in this situation.<p>If the facts of the situation were reversed, of course we would draw the reverses conclusion. That golds true for just about any argument.</p>

<p>I think we're a long way off from the communities when Jane Jacobs lived. An except that I frequently think about, I can't even fathom in a large city in the current era, and not because technology has solved the key problem.<p>>Joe Cornacchia, who keeps the delicatessen,
usually has a dozen or so keys at a time for handing out like
this. He has a special drawer for them.<p>>Now why do I, and many others, select Joe as a logical
custodian for keys? Because we trust him, first, to be a respon
sible custodian, but equally important because we know that he
combines a feeling of good will with a feeling of no personal
responsibility about our private affairs. Joe considers it no con
cern of his whom we choose to permit in our places and why.
Around on the other side of our block, people leave their keys
at a Spanish grocery. On the other side of Joe's block, people
leave them at the candy store. Down a block they leave them at the coffee shop, and a few hundred feet around the corner from that,
in a barber shop. Around one corner from two fashionable
blocks of town houses and apartments in the Upper East Side,
people leave their keys in a butcher shop and a bookshop; around another corner they leave them in a cleaner's and a drug store.<p>>In unfashionable East Harlem keys are left with at least one
florist, in bakeries, in luncheonettes, in Spanish and Italian groceries.</p>
