I haven't tried on macos, but yeah, the biggest problem right now seems to be implementation differences with how embedded spaces are handled. Earlier, the biggest cross-browser issues were pixel alignments within the QR codes, but th

Some details of how it works are in https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font/blob/master/design.md Fair warning though: this was designed and implemented by an LLM, as an experiment to see if it was possible.

It is not a tricky problem because it has a simple and obvious solution: do not filter or block usage just because the input includes a word like "gun".

My dad wears smart glasses because he's nearly deaf and the classes show captions for the person he's talking to. They're great. He doesn't use or care at all about the camera. Having the captions would be very useful

It's not enclosed in the final product. It is used during manufacturing. For example, you mechanically compress helium to get liquid helium, then when it depressurizes back to ambient pressure, it's -269 C, which is pretty close

Yeah, everyone learns differently, but for me this is a perfect way to better understand how GPTs work.

200mg/day is not a "very very small dose". FDA recommended maximum safe amount is 400mg/day.

I don't know (and don't need you to elaborate on) exactly what you're referring to in that last sentence, but I suspect you are confusing Eric W. Weisstein with Eric Weisstein.

Lazy, or more efficient? If you type a time and hit start, you're not microwaving until you're done with all the buttons. If you hit "QS" a bunch to reach the duration instead, the microwave starts cooking immediately

Relative to the handedness, one bolt is always moving with it, one bolt is always moving against it. Switching direction doesn't change that. So switching direction can't change whether it moves inward or outward.

Switching the direction that you're twiddling the bolts would have to change the direction of any movement. But by symmetry, clockwise and counterclockwise twiddling are identical (looking down on the head of each bolt, one is always m

some math because I'm curious: If you draw down and replace 50% of the water every day, each molecule has a 1/2 chance of sticking around. After 3 months that's 1/(2^90). A 5 gallon pot contains around 2^87 water molecul

The Arduino build system does this (preprocesses your source code to pull out prototypes and put them at the top). To make things easier for beginners.

Maybe the prices were calculated to make post-sales-tax amounts round numbers? That's been the case when I've seen weirdly precise store pricing in the past.

Maybe find a mnemonic? In college, while I paused to remember the order, a friend blurted out "fake things last", and that phrase has stuck with me. I always hesitate a second but never get it wrong now.

It's actually far easier than you're making it out to be, because you seem to be assuming an ideal voltage source. Most linear regulators can only source current, not sink it. So it is perfectly fine to simply put a LDO at both
