I think the suggestion to just stitch around it is probably sufficient, but an earlier post in this community pointed me to using a speedweve to basically weave a little patch in-place, picking up stitches around all the sides to sew it onto the mended garment. Looks pretty cool if you want to go to that much effort.

(Edit: Video with clearer instructions, also demos on non-hand-knit fabric.)

They're fun, and pretty quick turnaround. Good luck!

Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.

I made a couple shapes, some with red bean paste and some plain:

Shaped

Proved and ready to stream (10m steaming + 3 rest as in the recipe):

Proved

 

2nd try yielded very successful bao (steamed buns)!

I followed whattocooktoday's recipe , which has lots of helpful explanations of rationale and alternatives. I used corn starch (didn't have wheat starch or pastry flour on hand) and it worked just fine, the steamed bao are very light and delicate. I also used active (not instant) yeast; it didn't bubble much when using cold milk (Oatley's what I had) but the buns proved nicely in an hour at about 90F.

My 1st try was following some notes from a relative, which were about 65% hydration all AP flour, and came out much too dense/chewy.

100 coins in the clock was probably my toughest of the 120 stars.

And shooting them.

Better South Korea than a concentration camp, but all these headlines calling it "home" is misleading, their homes are presumably near their workplace.

Misleading title, "flown home" actually means taken "to South Korea on a chartered flight".

Interesting analysis of how these parahuman behaviors derive from training material.

So, in AI honeypots we should be injecting override protocols.

Use polars, or some framework that's been built with performance from the start?

I have optimized pandas notebooks before, but it seems a bit like a foundation of sand.

plus a GPU-powered drop-in accelerator, cudf.pandas, that delivers order-of-magnitude speedups with no code changes.

Don’t have a GPU on your machine? No problem—you can use cudf.pandas for free in Google Colab, where GPUs are available and the library comes pre-installed.

Ah, I see why NVIDIA is writing about it.

Ballotopedia is not so ad encrusted and has this breakdown:

Wu has said she would prioritize reducing dependence on cars. Wu has highlighted her record on public transportation, including working with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority to eliminate slow zones, as well as increasing ridership with fare-free bus lines, installing speed humps, and using technology to reduce congestion.[9] Kraft has said he wouldn't prioritize reducing dependence on cars and instead would focus on fixing roads and sidewalks, as well as temporarily pause bike lane construction to conduct an audit on the efficiency of proposed bike lanes.[18]
