It’s cute, and I’m trusting enough to believe them when it says 100% home made, but square images with a strong yellow tint will forever be associated with ChatGPT 4o image generation in my mind. Unfortunately, this might become something l

The gyro permission request doesn't work on iOS since it's not tied to user input. If you're feeling brave, you can paste this into your phone's javascript console to add a button that requests permission. var b=document

I used this method to check some of the lights in my house a few years ago. The slow-mo video mode on my phone used a rolling shutter which captures one row of pixels at a time, meaning you could see the flicker in part of the video, even

I browse Hacker News through a custom aggregator. This post is how I found out it’s susceptible to HTML injection - a (2020) was marqueeing across my screen.

For those who are interested in learning more: "All failure is shear failure" - this is a simple explanation of Tresca's Yield Criterion. For materials with higher compressive than tensile strength, the equivalent is the Mohr

I mean, this just appears to be fixed nominal returns, minus a fee, multiplied by a factor from an actuarial table. Contrast it with a calculator like this [0] that uses combines historical return and inflation data with actuarial data to s

Those rates and risks are meaningless without a baseline, as Einstein and 28 other Nobel Prize Winners may agree. If you're familiar with the early retirement community, the simplest strategy is withdrawing a fixed percentage of your i
