LC Thread 2020: What the PUNK? ROCK.

@Devil - so I updated the firmware on my watch, there was also a samsung health update in the google play store.

Looks like there’s a new app on my watch:

That’s the ECG app. When I click it, it wants me to download an additional app on my phone… I haven’t done that yet, but in short, the ECG is not part of Samsung Health, but is it’s own app. Might need the firmware update to get it.

Oh nice, that’s live? I have a Samsung watch

Huh. Thanks! I must have confused the Samsung Health Monitor app with the Samsung Health app. I wonder why, lol. BUT, when I try to make a measurement, I get a pop-up that says Samsung Health Monitor is not available in your current location.

Wild Night?

Yea, I’ve had my ~$100 blu ray player for I think seven years and it still works fine. I’m like 90% sure it’s a Sony, but it could be Samsung. My research at the time basically said every other brand sucked though.

The point is that you aren’t seeing anything with your own eyes. You don’t know:

  • Whether the AEB system in the car was even activated at the time of the test?
  • Who conducted the test?
  • Whether the Tesla system worked properly in other runs of the test that weren’t shown?
  • Whether the parameters of the test were selected to make the Tesla look bad compared to Chinese models?

The viscerality of video tricks your mind into believing that it’s seen strong evidence, when really it’s seen almost nothing. This is how conspiracy theories work too. You play a radio clip of someone saying “Pull the building” and act like it’s the skeptic’s job to prove that it isn’t a recording of a vast conspiracy to fake 9/11. But the things that make evidence feel strong are mostly orthogonal to what makes evidence actually convincing.

The AAA link you posted is much stronger evidence and convinces me that the Tesla AEB system, at least at that time and those test parameters, wasn’t performing at state-of-the-art levels.

Full self driving Tesla, lol that’s a good one

I do know some of these things because I read the HackerNews comments. The second crash shows the system alerting to the pedestrian but failing to brake for some reason. In both cases the car braked as soon as it actually hit the pedestrian.

Sure it could be a complete propaganda fake as you’re implying - just to make Tesla look bad. But for whatever reason most of the HackerNews people seemed to assume it was real - and they’re generally pretty skeptical.

Not the best, but should be on the list:

He must have made so much money off of those Chevy commercials

I got an Oppo about 10 yrs ago for the same reason. I think it still works but I haven’t used it in over a year.

Where is cold fusion? I kind of miss dessin telling me I’m nuts.

As predicted, 0/5 baby!

Oh, I apologize, I´ll pass your feedback related to this feature to the dedicated team for future software updates. Please stay tuned!

Firmware update didn’t take?

Firmware updated fine. Ran ECG app on watch, got message to download Samsung Health Monitor app, did that. Open app, try to make measurement, get message service not available in my area. I’m in US, Utah.

Were you able to actually make a measurement?

I haven’t tried yet. I’ll do it and get back to you.

Ok, downloaded the app on the phone. Went through the account set up and permissions, and then ran it on my watch and it worked fine.

I’m guessing you have a US version of the watch?
