Seems unlikely to be enforceable as "overly expansive", as someone could surely argue our brains are just AI and/or ML but in organic form. Does that mean I'm not allowed to learn from the website?

Are you aware of what the "A" in AI and the "M" in ML stand for?

No, I work in a field without having zero idea what the most basic terminology actually means.

Are you aware what "organic" means? Have some imagination. We can call it OI and OL to make it a bit easier if you want.

I've always liked ExoticSilicon's design, but not until this post did I realize their smart bit of CSS for default font size: font-size: min(max(1em, 1.3vw), 1.3em); Which explains why it looks just right on my high-DPI Chromebook even though I haven't configured a big enough default font size for the browser. This is going to be the default font-size for all of my websites now (preceded by a fallback for maximum com…

Here's an explanation of this expression from Phind: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=bd161914-4d18-4758-b540-2...

Amazing how many words is uses to say nothing.

The only mysterious parts of the expression are how the em and wv units work.

Our brains are artificial intelligence? Humans are machine learning?

I mean, c'mon. If humans are artificial, then what do you call real? If humans are machines, then what on earth isn't?

If you want it to be even more readable you could do the following: font-size: clamp(1em, 1.3vw, 1.3em); I would also consider using `rem` instead of `em` incase you want to use it anywhere other than the root element.

That's less reasable bwcause the order of arguments is mysterious.
