The phones are not made in india. Their final assembly step is in India while the grand majority is in China.

Well, it would be helpful for scholarly articles.

Binary Space partitioning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_space_partitioning) is an elegant algorithm that solves this issue. This has fallen out of popularity due to the invention of the depth buffer and the power of modern GPUs, but it was used in DOOM and Quake.

This technique, due to the unique limitation of the children's drag-and-drop coding platform, Scratch, has made it proliferate in the 3D community. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1203675921 is an example of such a project.

Such a thing exists currently, at least for images created by Google and other major AI companies.

This isn't really a problem in tool-assisted LLMs.

Use google AI studio with search grounding. Provides correct links and citations every time. Other companies have similar search modes, but you have to enable those settings if you want good results.

Cool, but you can get brightness enhancement film for very cheap in AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/2255799825024246.html

The brightness enhancement film is a transparent optical film. It consists of a three-layer structure. The bottom layer of the light-incident surface needs to provide a certain degree of haze by back coating, the middle layer is a transparent PET substrate layer, and the upper layer of light-emitting cotton. It is a microprism structure. When the microprism layer passes through the fine prism structure of the surface layer, the light intensity distribution is controlled by refraction, total reflection, light accumulation, etc., and the light scattered by the light source is concentrated toward the front side, and the unused light outside the viewing angle passes through the light.

So, it's similar to your design, but the grooves are very small.

sign-lee makes more sense.

This is an easy question for LLMs to answer. Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite can answer this in 0.8 seconds with a cost of 0.0028875 cents:

To habogink a hammer means to perform the action typically associated with its primary function, but in reverse. The primary function of a hammer is to drive nails. Therefore, the reverse of driving nails is removing nails.

So, to habogink a hammer would be the action of using the claw of the hammer to pull a nail out of a surface.

Yes. However, once you get to population decline, no economic system can help.

The AI OCR build into snipping tool in windows is better than tesseract, albeit more inconvenient than something like powertoys or Capture2Text, which use a quick shortcut.

Hmm... I'll give it a go.

You don't need Ren'Py-like software for graphic novels unless you want them to be interactive. Even so, it may be difficult for an 8-year-old to learn python and debug something like Ren'Py, especially because half of its use is entirely 18+.

I would recommend something like Scratch. It's a visual scripting language that allows kids to make amazing games and animations. It has all the capabilities necessary with ease and kid-friendly forums and comment sections.

I've been attempting WILD every few days whenever it's convenient. No luck so far, but it's not something I'm taking particularly seriously. For that reason, I'm still not sure whether it'd be worth doing a dream journal or risk disrupting more of my sleep.
