I don’t think making the battery itself waterproof is necessarily the solution here though: you would need to make the battery user replaceable without sacrificing the waterproofing of the entire device.

There are ways of accomplishing this in devices though: action cameras generally have replaceable batteries with an extra waterproofing gasket for the battery tray. Those are even designed for frequent-ish swaps (though, outside of water).

I looked it up: you are missing Comoros, apparently, which is country consisting of a few islands off the east coast of Africa, above Madagascar, near Mayotte.

It does have a dictionary entry though, e.g. "the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively”, and I would argue that this definition fits.

The definition “something that lets a computer perform tasks that are thought to require intelligence” depends on the person, and whether they think something required a form of intelligence. Accounting for all variables over a large distance so you hit your target seems like it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to me.

It is a extremely generic term though, almost like using ‘software package’. It is more often used as a buzzword than something that provides significant clarification about how it works.

Arguably, a smart algorithm that determines parameters is some form of AI, just not an LLM, image generator or other machine learning model.

It is unclear to me what you are trying to accomplish, do you want to update the elements for where masked?

Polars has essentially replaced Pandas for me. It is MUCH faster (in part due to lazy queries) and uses much less RAM, especially if the query can be streamed. While syntax takes a bit of getting used to at first, it allows me to specify a lot more without having to resort to apply with custom Python functions.

My biggest gripe is that the error messages are significantly less readable due to the high amount of noise: the stacktrace into the query executor does not help with locating my logic error, stringified query does not tell me where in the query things went wrong…
