Thank you!

Yeah, the very first announcement is something that android has been able to do since... 2012? Surprising. I'd love to see the apple marketing persona info on who watches these.

Same behavior for me, I assume that they're going to let the thing play out and then you'll be able to replay once the event finishes. Not sure why this has changed from other livestreams.

Marie Kondo (Konmari) had a bestseller in the NYTimes called "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" in... 2010. Wow, I can't believe her book came out that long ago! Lots of useful fun ways to do things in there, which aren't as obvious to non-Japanese people because many of them stem from Japanese cultural values.

Aren't those supposed to be a quarter pound before cooking?

When did Cold Take start? I only just found it through recommendations in the last few months and absolutely love the whole vibe that Frost has captured.

I remember that video with the sponsor in the middle of it, and if I remember correctly showed Yahtzee's active disdain for it because he alluded to it before the sponsor bit, showing that he knew that it would interrupt the content that he was powerless to change it.

I'll have to follow Yahtzee and Frost wherever they go.

Man, WSJ lets me down again.

I've been following Julien Miquel for most of this year. Not _actually_ following him, but occasionally checking out how his youtube channel has progressed. It started with my gf showing me one of his videos for a word that I had never even heard of. What struck me at first was how inadvertently sensual he had made that specific video. And then, how in a 30 second video he butchered incredibly common pronunciations of "this" (thaaas) and "word" (werd).

Not that it's a problem. I'm in awe of his ability to chunk up and produce so many videos. He's found a niche and is filling it. I wonder if it actually pays him that much. I'm not sure, since most videos have only tens of views.

He does troll pronunciations too, like for the word "XXXXXXXXXXX", where he just says the letter X over and over. Maybe that was a test video.

I'm so in awe of him and I was hoping to learn more, and this article doesn't actually contact him or interview him or anything. What a tease! And they even get the lead wrong. Do people _choose_ Julien Miquel? Or has he SEO'd his way into the top of google results? I argue the latter. To this day, I would not choose Julien's choice of how to pronounce any English word. I might let him be a part of many different informed options..

I recently saw the website on here for YouGlish. That's the same niche, solved so much better.

But for now, Julien Miquel is probably my favorite 2023 performance artist, whether he's trying to or not.

I'm not arguing with you, but is there any documentation of SF's predictive signaling and synchronization and how it's the best?

I agree with you that the idea seems intuitively like it would be better, however I'm skeptical that it will work and that it is the 'correct' way to run traffic.

To quote your own example, this will be controlled by the government, which takes a long time to do physical infrastructure projects. So I would lately just assume it's not worth the investment dollars.

I take point with your use of 'correctly' because traffic engineering cannot get every car to its destination without stopping it even if it knew every destination.

Cars already do talk to various traffic lights via underground sensors and occasionally a camera. The investment required to have a fully networked traffic light system with a centralized controller would be immense, and would create an organization with a natural government given monopoly.

Your use of 'correctly' paints a world that seems ripe for more corruption and ultimately worse timings across the network. If you wrote 'better', then I wouldn't have commented. I think I'm nitpicking

I don't think that's true. Often times at night, there are long times for certain lights so the bigger throughput street can have more time on there. Human drives know about this, and will take different routes to get there. It's unclear that Cruise is mapping out light timings and their changes, although you would think they would.

I'm glad you posted this - I went back just to see this and gave an audible laugh. More than a little comical!
