UW-Madison's ML+X community is hosting Machine Learning Marathon that will be featured as a competition on Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/c/about/host)

"What is the 2024 Machine Learning Marathon (MLM24)?

This approximately 12-week summer event (exact dates TBA) is an opportunity for machine learning (ML) practitioners to learn and apply ML tools together and come up with innovative solutions to real-world datasets. There will be different challenges to select from — some suited for beginners and some suited for advanced practitioners. All participants, project advisors, and event organizers will gather on a weekly or biweekly basis to share tips with one another and present short demos/discussions (e.g., how to load and finetune a pretrained model, getting started with GitHub, how to select a model, etc.). Beyond the intrinsic rewards of skill enhancement and community building, the stakes are heightened by the prospect of a cash prize for the winning team."

I am not a web developer, but I don't understand what is needed to be 'installed' to use a css? Could someone explain why the default install isn't a clone of a nes.css?

I can tell you why I, a sys admin interested in dabbling in html/css for my own personal website, looked into CSS Grid.. Firefox Developer Start Page. Right there in the middle.

this work is serving as an important check&balance as well as pushing them to invest in R&D versus sitting back and milking their patents.

Thank you for your reply. This is what angers me the most. They drug companies have a solution. Keep buying insulin, keep buying needles, keep buying new pods, sensors, and apps. No, this can be fixed, it can be better.

You will notice that University of Wisconsin Madison is not on that list. This is because Dr. Harry Steenbock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Steenbock) with fantastic vision started the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF http://www.warf.org/about-us/about-us.cmsx) where discoveries made at UW get the help of the team of lawyers to guide through the patent process while the royalties paid then go back to the university. Starting with his discovery on fortifying food with Vitamin D by method of ultraviolet light in 1925.

WARF is an enormous success at UW and last year alone contributed over $100 million back to the university.

We are digging through. By the end of the week you will get an absolute statement on that. I do not believe there is any. But I want to be 1,000 percent sure.

Lenovo could come out ahead on this thing IMO if they are honest and really clean up their default builds from here on out.

Take note from your new acquisition Motorola and how they just add a little bit here and there to the AOSP builds. Not flood them with a bloatware and Motorola Email, Motorola Browser, and such like some companies do.
