I'm guessing the longer term interest Amazon has is to use these stores to generate a dataset for their computer vision system, which they could license as a loss prevention technology to other stores

Thank you for voicing this, I really agree that something about the culture growing up around tiktok is special and feels like a breath of fresh air. I think a lot of the doom and gloom talk is coming from people with a totally outside perspective who haven't actually tried to engage with the platform.

One thing that stands out as special to me, since it started out as an app for dance videos, so much of the cultural threads still revolve around that, and so it encourages an embodied way of presenting yourself. It makes text heavy sites like twitter and facebook feel... detached, cerebral, sterile in comparison. Whereas tiktok keeps a playful frivolity that that is so often lacking online. It seems to me a big step towards solving the big challenge with "online culture": considering the human.

This is in Seattle, on 5th ave. The concrete pillars are the monorail track. The street confused me driving as a human sometimes. There are more videos of the Tesla software being confused on this particular street floating around

I worked in a CNC shop for 6 years and never once heard "G programming language"

Interestingly enough, this isn't a mess in the shell's own builtins. The [ ] expression syntax is provided by the program /usr/bin/[ which is (often) a symlink to /usr/bin/test. It's just a clever trick! [ is a program that evaluates it's argv as an an expression, less the trailing ], and then returns the result as an error code.

Actually re-reading your post you probably know that already! Nevermind then. Maybe someone reading this will be enlightened

I thought it was pretty clever!

iMessage has read receipts, faster and more reliable delivery, higher quality images/videos. More than just the color of the bubble

Just run a Linux hyper-v vm. That's what WSL2 is doing under the hood anyway. I run it this way and it's great. I have windows terminal auto ssh into it. Performance is great. And using the X server x410 on the windows side gui performance is fantastic (though no hardware acceleration) because instead of ssh tunneling x410 suports AF_VSOCK for the x socket, which hyper-v supports for performance as good as a domain socket on the same machine.

Got a link to read more about this?

Well it shouldn't make a difference in practice because everyone knows exactly how far away the halving is and makes their financial calculations accordingly

What differentiates x410 from other x servers is that it support communication over VSock, which Hyper-V supports, and it's probably 3x less latency than tunneling x over ssh. Made it possible for me to comfortably use emacs in my hyper-v arch vm

Weird to see my tiny hometown (Lynden, WA) was used as a test market
