Tiny Code Reader: a $7 QR code sensor

Tiny Code Reader (TCR) caught my eye when it came out in 2023. It’s a very appealing idea: a self-contained seeing module that just decodes any QR code it sees. I immediately imagined applications in desktop manufacturing, a subject very dear to my heart. You can buy it from Adafruit, Sparkfun, and elsewhere. There’s a main page with a clear getting started guide, and a datasheet. Because it uses the Qwiic connector standard, setting it up is a breeze . It plugs directly into I²CDriver or I²CM

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t.

A weaker dollar could make US exports more competitive, boosting Trump’s plan to rebalance US trade, but makes imports more expensive, adding to the sting of tariffs.
