I’ve always wanted to try making a smart chess board (with no moving parts; merely detecting moves rather than making them). I’ve thought of: - RFID. Have 64 antennas and multiplex them to detect which piece is on which square (idk much abo

I'm quite certain the typeface is Computer Modern (the primary font being CMU Serif, to be precise). It can be found by Googling it. I also distribute the fonts as an NPM library, since they are OFL. [1] [1]: https://github.

I believe the intention behind isolatedModules is to make compilation faster by forcing you to define types that require no inference from other files (thus, being isolated). Not… whatever this is.

I think it would lead to China surpassing the US in terms of AI tech pretty quickly. The US is actively trying to prevent that outcome already using sanctions on chip manufacturing equipment and IP.

Insurance is pretty cheap though. My ~$2.5k e-bike's insurance for no-questions-asked replacement in the case of theft is $12/month. Probably higher in high-crime areas but still, nothing compared to auto insurance.
