I suspect only if the election goes drastically against the current administration.

Do I, as a US-based English speaking person, need to have CAs from India and other places trusted by default in my browsers/devices? My gut says no and it just represents unnecessary risk, but I'm also not fully aware of how interleaved cert issuers are with cross signing and such.

> Immigration Officers, without a warrant, may "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States...board and search for non-citizens in any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railcar, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle. 8 CFR 287 (a)(1) defines reasonable distance as 100 air miles from the border.

> Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population, over 213 million people, reside within the region that CBP considers falling within the 100-mile border zone, according to the 2020 census. Most of the 10 largest cities in the U.S., such as New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, fall in this region. Some states, like Florida, lie entirely within this border band so their entire populations are impacted.

One of the Counter examples is incorrect, tested on both 3.13 and 3.15.0a

  >>> from collections import Counter 
  >>> c = Counter(a=3, b=1)  
  >>> d = Counter(a=1, b=2)   
  >>> c-d  
  Counter({'a': 2})

Looking at the ASR leaderboard (https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard), Parakeet (.6B) is still near the top on speed, but about 10th on WER.

Standing in that hole without shoring... no thanks. Impressive project nonetheless though

Well, I didn't know there Flock cameras in use near me, but apparently I'm nearly surrounded and would have to take a weird route to avoid them. Some are marked as being operated by the local PD, and others are "Unknown". Thanks for the link

Calvin and Hobbes was the only comic I ever truly loved and collected. All of the books are well-worn from my childhood. They sat on a shelf for a couple of decades, and now I get to enjoy watching my kids fall in love with them too.

I don’t think I fully appreciated the range of humor and topics Bill Watterson explored when I was young. Plenty of strips are perfect for my 9 year old; she was in fits of laughter just yesterday at Hobbes’s physical comedy and the elementary school drama with Susie and Mrs Wormwood. But other strips are much more intellectual, touching on politics, life, and morality. I appreciate these more now as well, because they often spark deeper conversations with my kids when they ask me to explain them.

I doubt he’ll ever see it, but thank you, Bill, for giving multiple generations so much laughter.

US. I ride shoulders on semi-rural highways. Sometimes there will be traffic in the opposing lane creating enough noise that I don't hear the vehicles coming from behind. With my Varia, I get warned well before they show up. It has even detected "hidden" vehicles that I couldn't visibly see -- like a small car trailing a truck.

I'd love to hear WHY you want to do this.

The quality difference I find between Costco and Walmart is significant, even if the price is not that different.

I was thinking of something similar during pruning season for my apple trees a few months ago. I even went so far as to take a scan of one of my trees with Luma and had it generate a 3D render of it. This worked surprisingly well, though it did take several days to get it rendered as it seemed their service was saturated.

My need/idea was to post that some where (r/backyardorchard probably) to get help in determining which limbs to prune. However, there didn't seem to be an easy way to share that sort of thing and time was of the essence, so I just forged ahead on my own.

May I ask why you still have an XP machine running?
