People who make and enjoy AI art obviously engage with art in a completely different way. To me and many others, it's so instantly offputting and repulsive.

I am reading this with very little maths knowledge (since university 15 years ago) and I found this confusing:

"The multiplicative group of integers modulo n that we saw above gets more interesting when you consider a composite number such as 15 which has factors of 3 and 5. Repeated multiplication by 2 will never produce a multiple of 3 or 5 and this time there are only 8 numbers, {1,2,4,7,8,11,13,14} less than 15 that are not multiples of 3 or 5."

I understood the earlier example of "mod 3" because you only have {1,2} but then it becomes a lot more complicated but there's no explanation of it. Multiplying by 2 repeatedly under mod 15 only yields {1,2,4,8}.

After writing this, I saw you explained it a bit later in the document, so perhaps a note to that effect would help other readers.

I picked up a pretty cheap second-hand GPU after the mining boom ended!

That is true for English games, but the vast majority of Japanese games use the same 3 or 4 fonts. Often they give the user the ability to change it. Or they just write menu systems in English if they want to stylise it.

They might have passed some level of the kanken (kanji kentei) in school but it is unlikely to be level 1. The gap between level 1 and 2 is ridiculous.

Never using a Samsung foldable again. I bought the 4th gen of ZFold thinking it would be out of the prototype stage, and it fell apart in less than a year. The Chinese makers seem like a better bet and invest in things like silicon carbide batteries, flagship-tier cameras and dual-screen stylus support. Samsung barely innovates while the price has continued to rise with each generation.

Assuming you're American you may be missing just how strong the USD is and how expensive $37 is for much of Europe. -You- consider it cheap and that's the whole point of the price rise.

Compared to the price of a round-trip plane ticket to Paris, hotel, and food for the whole trip, this ticket increase is immaterial for anyone who's already well-off enough to be a tourist. And the whole point of the article is that the price increase is only for non-EU citizens.

It's at 1.16, that's fairly typical I believe, a bit low even?

Wow you charge a subscription for this? The Apple ecosystem is wild.

Even for battle-tested software like Postgresql, always read the changelog and test it thoroughly before upgrading.

That conversation doesn't apply to their core products: Search, Mail, Maps, Chrome, Android. Their commitment to maintaining these services over decades has been amazing. It's everything else that sucks.

Mail is dropping features left and right, like gmailify. I'm pretty sure they're trying to limit the maintenance costs as much as possible.

I could almost imagine the normal search going away to be replaced by a chatbot.
