That's actually a great reason to refrain from discussing someone else's medical data with you. That it is inconvenient for you is certainly bad, but that is a non sequitur.

There are different stenography systems, each with their own shortcuts and abbreviations, but at core they're all about producing large volumes of text with minimal physical effort at very high speeds.

A good mechanical keyboard (e.g. the ErgoDox EZ) and Plover mean the only thing standing between you and >200 WPM typing is the time and effort to learn it.
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes because everything lives in a simple yml file.

https://espanso.org/

It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.

A simple text replacement looks like this in the yml file:
- trigger: ":espanso"
replace: "Hi there!"

But it can even work with a shell, which I think is amazing! For example, I have a particular task at work where I often need to insert a random number into a text document. I can have Espano run PowerShell behind the scenes to run a simple PowerShell command, and that looks something like:

- trigger: ";rand"
replace: " {{output}}"
vars:
- name: output
type: shell
params:
cmd: "Get-Random -Minimum 100000"
shell: powershell
It is, yes, but also this was done purely by VIO - courses were not mapped ahead of time. Contestants had very limited time on the actual drone, almost all their work had to be done via HITL simulation. The entire stack was done in maybe 6-8 months, then contestants produced their first code for the drone in a couple more months, and were flying shortly after. It was very clear that given more time, 6 seconds was going to be surpassed very quickly. All of this was live events too - contestants were tweaking code up until cameras rolled and spectators were in the stands.
A critical word here is "knowledge".

Every element of data, core capability, or logical object should have a single authoritative source. Having multiple db connections or ui controllers would, in fact, be a horrible nightmare, obviously.

But not all code is knowledge, some of it's just boring work that does something to some local stuff and it doesn't necessarily need to be sharable with other parts of the code base, just because the logic looks kinda similar.

Two points - legally, caste based discrimination is illegal. From a cultural aspect - cultural changes are much slower in non-western countries. For example, compare how quickly the culture around marijuana & same sex marriage changed in US, and the laws kept up. But similar change probably takes 10x longer in "older" cultures. As an analogy, the left wing party of India which is supposed to be liberal, opposed legalizing same-sex marriage[1]. This attitude extends to all issues of reform in the entire political class.

I don't understand why Nvidia puts so much effort into keeping their drivers as proprietary blobs. It's not like their software is part of their defensibility; they're a hardware company. Not only will opening their kernel modules have zero impact on their hardware sales, but it will actually improve their stability and also earn goodwill from developers who might otherwise go out of their way to purchase a GPU from AMD.

Just as a note: The 4Runner (and related GX) haven't changed in size since 2004 (GX this year got larger).

They aren't "getting bigger every year"; they've stayed basically the same size for a very long time. The incoming Tacoma/4R is almost the same size as that 2004 model, and is a hybrid to boot with a true 4WD system. It's larger than the RAV4, but the gap has gotten smaller every time the RAV4 gets larger.

Source: Currently have a 2004 GX470, used to have a 2018 GX460, most of my friends have 4R's or Tacoma's. Note that my daily is a Mercedes Metris because my child is special needs; the GX has been in the family for a very long time at this point.

Refrigerators are similar to tank system, rather than on-demand hot water system. With smaller heat pump, tank is needed because it can't heat water immediately. Refrigerators have small heat pump so that's similar thing. Both should have good insulation.

You’re correct regarding historical procedure, but with regards to the privacy rule, which was added shortly after its creation and at least online is much of why the act is known and discussed today, the rule exists to, quoting the government’s description,

> The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without an individual’s authorization.

We allow a major hole here in that protected health information by willfully careful readings of “appropriate safeguards” and “limits and conditions”, essentially because doing otherwise would be a nightmarish expense and pain.

> Every tattoo is going to lead to regret at some point.

This is certainly untrue. People get tattoos for all sorts of reasons, and those that get them after due thought and because they have real meaning to them don't tend to regret them at all.

That said, I have seen people get tattoos on a lark, and the tattoos they get don't really mean anything to them. Those people are more likely to regret them later -- but even then, they often don't.
i wouldn't call this "developing", the negative is already developed. this is simply making a contact print.

if you do find undeveloped exposures, the emulsion is likely very degraded. film or glass plate is likely standard silver and may still be easily developed at home with any standard black and white process, but most historic color film chemistry has been lost. your local lab should be able to identify it for you and explain your options.
I don't see the point. You should be using all the tools at your disposal even if the course doesn't mention this specific tool.

As a practical matter, schools are always a decade behind industry. Eg some courses are still teaching python2. Ask again in 2038 when we have newer LLMs with the same perplexity as human writers. I'm sure schools will use chatGPT in class after it's long obsolete :)
I love espanso. I live it over AHK as it doesn't have some obscure and hard to learn language, so I can just write some python scripts and trigger them with espanso.
Not all kernel modules need to be GPL; that's why there's a license field for modules at all (if everything needs to be GPL, then the license would be implied).

The issue here is that nVidia wants at least part of their module to not be open source, but _also_ wants access to functionality that's been marked as only allowed to be access by GPL modules (the typical assumption is that, in order to use those, your code already needs to be tied deeply enough that you're a derived work).

Note: based off things I've gleaned from LWN and places.
It has either gotten worse or there is just more crap websites out there to clog things up. They also have made it harder to search for "exact" terms (you now have to use quotes and check a box).
I don't think you're wrong but it's also fair to say that Microsoft was actively trying to destroy Linux and open source in general. They were literally funding legal attacks open source software. They were also engaged in a ton of anti-competitive behavior. Gates was a very smart guy and was absolutely a ruthless corporate terminator which is easy to forget given how he acts and spends his time/money today. And the Microsoft of today still engages in questionable or shitty behavior but regulators are even softer now than they were then. So Teams gets bundled for free with 365 after Slack proves there's a market.
Annually renewable would be borderline evil.

For some reason, the US is incapable of renewing visas for people who are already in the country. You can renew status, but not visa. If you renew your status and want to travel internationally, you must get a new visa if you want to return. And, for unknown reasons, that can take a lot of time even in trivial cases. Such as when the applicant is already living and working legally in the US.
This echoes my experience as well. I switched to DDG some years back, in part because I could always compare with Google easily by appending !g. I still use !g (perhaps 1 in 50 searches), usually when I'm willing to trade worse presentation and degraded privacy for better long-tail results.
Who could have picked those terms? OBC is a term of art used in Indian politics [1]. The author didn't exactly choose that term.

And OBC is Indian English, which is one of the most common varieties of English spoken worldwide. I think it's really weird when people say "carpetbagger" in American politics, definitely more weird than OBC. And don't get me started on the racist origins of "grandfathered in" or "eenie meenie miney moe".

The same way we deal with the situation if the boss was white and the employee was black, or if the boss was a man and the employee was a woman. You look for patterns of behavior, and incriminating statements. It's a hard standard to prove, but it's not like this is some unheard of precedent. Caste discrimination is just racism that's just a little harder to spot.
If you feel that way, surely you wouldn’t mind me moving into your house, sleeping in your bed, eating your food, etc. After all, there is no right or wrong, everything is grey, and reductionist logic can be applied to deflect from any argument that is inconvenient to one’s simplistic worldviews.

What i'm saying is that you are completely wrong about that. Sorry if i wasn't clear.
First of all there is still adoption for many of the points you raise. Secondly, is it justified to risk societal collapse to right these naturally occurring wrongs/unjustnesses? It‘s a hard question especially because we don‘t/can‘t have a sound theory that predicts the future. I believe only society/country scale evolution can figure this out.

IMO thats btw. one of the downsides of the EU, eliminating the differences/competition between countries stalling this kind of evolutionary truth seeking process
Models for drones are actually pretty simple. The races are indoors, so we can assume 0 wind. It’s really basic physics and aerodynamics. We had some sessions in a mocap lab where contestants were able to perform some flights and get some ground truth to tweak their sim -> actual drone dev loop. The simulator itself was based on the DRL simulator, but not the same version on the Steam store.

I did not develop the sim itself but did develop the hardware-in-the-loop portion of it along with things like real-time debugging, and output to the hitl. We had the sim rendering cameras which we output from the workstation to custom HDMI bridges over MIPI that we could treat as real cameras on the NVIDIA Xavier AGX. There was a data channel over Ethernet for IMU data.

I made a custom version of Eclipse that interfaced w GDB for debugging, which also was modified to stay in sync w the sim using PTP, w rewind capability.

As for sailboat modeling, yes it’s more complicated because of the effects of both wind and fluid dynamics. If I were approaching this, I’d probably try and find a physics simulator to start with. Getting ground truth will be difficult, but I imagine you would start w the IMU and GPS data off the boat, but having time synced ground truth for the waves and wind will probably be the hardest part.
Yeah. They did flag up earlier that wireless transmission between HSM and monitor would have to be encrypted. I wonder whether they missed that out in the prototype due to time issues, or whether the microcontroller they chose made it infeasible.
> If you can accurately strobe it with a laser, why not use the same targeting system to shoot it down?

There will always be a chance that the targeting system misses so strobbing a laser (or bidirectional jamming) will minimize the risk of damaging the surrounding area (people, animals, etc.) vs shooting it down with bullets/nets.

I myself have found a very clear, objectively measurable, falloff for Google search results when it comes to non-NLP searches.
The quotes operator is designed to search for pages containing exactly the phrase given, however I have found that Google has many times where it yields no results, and then does a “did you mean <no quotes>”, while other search engines can easily find the piece of information that was given.
No matter the reason for why this is happening, it has dampened my usage of Google considerably because Google doesn’t seem to be able to handle the most basic of queries anymore.
> because the id is public information, but you wouldn’t expect someone to remember someone else’s id.

In my college people definitely remembered other people's IDs, since all you needed to badge into any door they had access to was to write their ID and a 00+(number of replacement badges) to the data track on a swipe card. This gave access to even dorms. This even worked for faculty or Deans who had full access to all academic and athletic facilities.

Clearly nobody would ever know anybody else's public ID, because that would take just going into a study session and looking at the sign in sheet of hundreds of them sitting in the back of the classroom. Or looking at the log of swipes of an event that a dean attended.
