Our woolies seems to be doing some fancy AI / ML things at the self checkout. If you place a fruit/veg item on the scale, it'll show you a narrowed down list of what it thinks you're wanting to add to your bag.
It was spot on every time too! Which totally beats the old method of putting something on the scale then scanning through a poorly organised list.
@aurynn it's been years and I still don't know which seat to take!
@daedalus @emmadavidson also shows they're aware that their core offering is dangerous and yet refuse to self regulate.
This is amazing and long overdue news from the fruit co. π https://www.macstories.net/news/apple-reduces-app-store-commissions-to-15-for-small-businesses-starting-next-year/

@mike oh, yep! Sorry for the confusion, the one founded in 1901.
Had my first electronic voting experience today in the ACT.
Have to say it was pretty neat and painless!
Process was essentially; receive a card with a QR code, scan said card, enter preferences, scan card again and then drop card in a ballot box. Would be interested to understand how votes get stored / how they're tied to a card. I have my guesses, but but they all lead me to something overly convoluted π
