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
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
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.
There is a huge amount of these $20 bills lying around in fact. The thing is they're not that easy to pick up. These ERP systems are often fairly bespoke, designed for the workflow and needs of specific industries, or even specific niches in industries.
I work for one of these bespoke ERP companies, our niche is CNC machine shops (huge industy you don't hear much about). Our software was grown organically out of tools we made to manage our own CNC shop, spun out into its own company. That deep domain knowledge is what allows us to make a competitive product.
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
The photon has some amplitude for reflecting in all possible directions, it happens that for certain directions these amplitudes are very close to the same value and so reinforce and become more probable, and at wider angles tend to cancel out and become less probable. When this is not the case and wider angles instead reinforce you can observe this directly in for instance a diffraction grating.
I don't think finitists have a problem with convergent sequences, they just wouldn't talk about infinities, rather than extending the sequence gets you as arbitrarily to 1/3 as you wish to go
Take a reasonable dose (~100mg), avoid physical activity, and take a proper supplement stack [0] and you will find no hangover but actually a mild afterglow.
Besides the obvious answer of medication, which I've personally found very helpful, I think physical movement is the biggest thing for me for staying engaged. I just can't focus on things while sitting still which is obviously really rough as a programmer. I find that as soon as I have the urge to spin my wheels checking HN or tinkering with my emacs config or some other comfortable distraction I get up and take a walk, preferebly outside, in a way that makes my brain notice it's in a different space, then visualize myself working as I return to my desk.
