A popular instant soup brand was doing a 3 month long Air Fryer giveaways, 2000 every month. Partner got to know about it near the end of first month and somehow deduced that it must be an early bird thing. We sent in our entry at midnight when new month began and saw our name in the list 15 days later. By the end of the 3 months, 9 of our close acquaintances were proud winners of air fryers!

I get all your points and I think they are the reason this has not been solved yet. But at times like this, i take inspiration from the story of first version of Captcha that, I think, Yahoo! created. The simplicity of using two words, one known and the other unknown to practically get all-printed-words-ever transcribed is nothing short of awe inspiring. If the Indian government were to put all words in regional languages as a part of Indian version of such Captcha just to book tickets on Indian railways then the entirety of regional language text could be transcribed before we know it, besides giving valuable training datasets for ML/DL models too.

Nonetheless, i wish you the very best in your endeavours.

I can imagine the challenges that you describe. It is only through efforts like yours people will feel encouraged to produce better training datasets. I came across this dataset that has words with diacritics (though I’m not sure if it’s right to call them that since they are not accent marks) that seems to be different from the dataset that you are using: https://cvit-iiit-ac-in.translate.goog/research/projects/cvit-projects/indic-hw-data?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=hi&_x_tr_hl=hi&_x_tr_pto=tc

I can read/write hindi/devnagari well and am willing to help in anyway it may be possible for any incremental progress in this domain.

Great effort! What do you propose to do with the joint letters that are a peculiarity of devnagari?

If you are going the phone way and care to make the battery last longer, you can also install an app that keeps waiting to receive a keyword by SMS, upon receiving which it turns the GPS on, locates itself and sends the location back by SMS. It has dual benefit of not needing a data pack and making the battery last longer since the GPS or data is not on constantly. On the down side it’ll be tough to do live tracking by this approach.

These are just two links that came up using a basic search to do this. There are multiple listings on f-droid to help you not just get location but control the phone remotely over SMS.

Yeah, this is why our AI image generators create kooky images sometimes. /s?

I’ve only tried edible cannabis a few times but one of the fun things is the feeling of epiphany once you realise something when you’re high. It could be a mundane thought otherwise, but when you have that thought in the high state, it just feels so mind boggling. Your message makes me wish someone told me this while I was high.

That Mason Jar light looks like a good project to dip your toes into. You can always tinker and improve/modify, for example by adding the microcontroller into the mix. In the initial stages you can use jumper wires and breadboards which are great for learning. When you know you have it right, you can go for soldering the circuit. Trying to solder everything in the beginning can be a little frustrating if you want to change things and experiment. That’s not to say you can’t do it that way though. If you think you’ll have more fun learning to solder, then go for it.

I’ll respond since no one has commented yet. Maybe it’ll trigger more responses. I’ve seen these lamps and they are super cool to look at.

I’m not sure where one could find these optic fiber strands but if it is the lights on your previously working lamps that have failed, you can look at replacing the existing circuit with a microcontroller based one. Look for nodemcu (ESP8266) or ESP32 ones. They are super cheap and super easy to program (connect to computer over USB) and can run RGB LEDs to create colors of your choice. You can also find GitHub repositories for code you can directly use to let you control the light and color over WiFi.

Nice

Cool! Another rabbit hole to explore. Thanks for posting.

Learned about two cool tools through this article and the comments posted there:

1. https://www.autohotkey.com/ for automating tasks on OS level
2. https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy for Android screen sharing/ recording and control

Using these together would be a very powerful toolkit for such purposes.

I’m really sad VR went the way it did over the past decade. I was blown away with the simplicity and affordability of it when Google Cardboard launched. The standalone VR devices of today could have been just our current phones put inside head mounted brackets: easily available to most of us for cheap.

Besides gaming, VR has loads of cool educational uses. I find myself repeatedly going back to Google Earth VR on my Vive just to explore (both in 3D and street view mode) random places that I might never visit in real life.

The concept of recreation is pretty old

Lol, i was going to post the same question one of these days. I too am almost on the same version and I was hoping some kind soul would help me out.

On top of it I’m not very well versed with docker backups so I’m doubly scared. What I am going to do is to take a mirror image of my whole OS drive in my zfs mount that I use as backup, give a release notes a glance and go YOLO based on what I can make out.

Your post gives me a lot of hope. Thank you!

I used to use Selenium extension on Chrome to test my applications for Chrome compatibility. Chrome said they are disabling it now. Do you not want web applications to be easily tested for Chrome compatibility, Google?
