I used a colored left-border on my blog and thought it looked pretty fresh. I didn't realize that was an AI pattern.

I expected and wanted tree data structures.

My new bottom-of-the-line phone does not have a headphone jack. Did not realize that when I got it and now I'm bummed.

I was pulled over for having a non-obstructive frame on my license plate. The officer said they interfere with the red light cameras. He then presented me with a screwdriver and gave me the option of getting a ticket or taking it off. I took the screwdriver and he watched me take it off. I lost a freedom due to a shitty ml model.

In my honest opinion, GIMP is a horrific piece of software.

So if you write your own operating system without age verification you're not allowed to use it?

Interesting questions. I think I'll attempt #7.

I disagree. Math is all about applying well-known theorems to existing problems.

It was more to provide a hopefully new perspective on some existing problems in number theory.

I just found it interesting that certain problems in number theory could be rephrased as problems about cyclic groups. Maybe it could potentially make some easier to solve.

Some independent math research just for fun.

I switched to Linux after Windows started showing me propaganda on the screen where you enter your password. To me, that's diabolical and forced me to make the switch. Sorry, I don't wish to "Learn more about Black-Owned Businesses" just to access my computer.
