Is it just me or does this sound like a standard coding/mentoring practice?
non-U.S. people when talking about their own medical issues: I have this medical issue, I wonder if I should see a doctor, the cause may be this.
U.S. people when talking about their own medical issues: I had this medical issue, I saw a doctor, and the cause was this.
non-U.S. people when talking about their own divorce: I am thinking about divorcing my wife/husband.

* Add jagged ribs that prevent the attackers from grabbing your unbrella by bare hands. When grabbed, pulling it will cut their palm
* Make the fabric shark skin that similarly damages their palm when rubbed
* Make it actually heavy not light
* Make the grip thicker
* Make the grip longer enough for both hands
* Add a grip guard. This actually cause a stronger piercing force because it pushes against the grip guard rather than relying on the palm friction
This [1] may be indeed practical.

So P100D (100kWh) needs 20 cartridges, or 110kg, instead of nearly 500kg of Li-ion battery. 400kg savings. The comment means you probably know nothing about vehicle dynamics. Or too accustomed to dull handling of heavy pickup trucks.
Jp uni students typically write a thesis in the fourth/final year (is it called senior in the US?). This project is for the third year (junior in the US?). Probably there is also a difference between a (e.g. mechanical) engineering and a CS department. A typical CS conference paper does not need 1.5 year from initiation to publication, while I understand a mech work will need a lot more time. I moved from B.Eng to CS. With a proper guidance that lets a student focus on a particular subject (a research theme is given by the advisor), they do incredible work, although they may not have a broader view of the research field yet.
> These students are obviously smarter than the average student,
And yes these national university students are the top brains of the country. BTW, I am very sad that typical Japanese corporate organization basically rejects them as they are too smart and do not fit in their age-based structure. The author is in Microsoft anyways.
> in the ML case those patterns were hammered out one tiny change at a time until they matched reality, whereas in the human there's a moment where they did something very creative and had an idea and went through a kind of phase transition where they started thinking about the game in different terms.
Phase transition, or the "aha" moment, where things start to logically make sense. Humans have that moment. Knowledge gets crystallized in the same sense water starting to form a crystal structure. The regularity in the structure offers the ability to extrapolate, which is what current ML is known to be poor at.
1.4 The Desktop-Scripting Problem
Related to the shell-language design problem is the desktop-scripting problem:
How should unrelated programs written in different languages be integrated—especially
in an ad-hoc manner in a desktop environment? Such a task can require a large
amount of glue code, written by users who are unfamiliar with the inner workings of
the programs they are using. Notable attempts at solving the desktop-scripting prob-
lem include the TCL language [Ousterhout, 1989] and Guile Scheme [Blandy, 1998].
However, while most of these approaches use a large, robust language, it still remains
difficult to integrate them with external programs—instead putting the burden on
those programs to integrate with their system. We believe a shell-based approach is
promising
Hmm, Scheme as a large language? Well, I don't know much about the extensions Guile Scheme has over RxRS, would hope for someone to add info here.
