Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy S23 range in February 2023, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra being the most premium phone in the lineup. However, it has received criticism because, well, it basically looks like a Galaxy S22 Ultra. If you ask me, though, that’s a good thing. Here’s why. Galaxy Ultra S23 vs. Galaxy Ultra S22: What’s New? Let’s dive into what is different. Samsung technically got started with the Ultra range in 2019, when it launched the Galaxy S10 5G. Although it didn’t have the Ultra name back then, it had the same premise — a bigger, premium, souped-up version of the Galaxy S10 and S10+. The first proper Ultra phone came about in 2020, with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. From there, we had two entries — the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy S22 Ultra .

For years, Jana Dambrogio, a conservator at MIT, has been studying the elaborate ways people used to fold and seal their letters to keep busybodies and spies from reading their secrets. The way a paleontologist analyzes fossils to reconstruct extinct creatures, Dambrogio looks at the blobs of wax and the folding patterns on flat, already-opened letters in manuscript collections so that she can reverse-engineer "letterlocking" techniques. She had never held a historical, unopened locked letter in her hand until she got a call from her colleague, Daniel Starza Smith, at the University of Oxford. "He asked me, 'What would you do if I told you there was a trunk with 600 unopened letters?'"Dambrogio said. "He had me at 'unopened.'" [ See photos of the treasure trove of sealed 17th-century letters ] That trunk, which belonged to a 17th-century postmaster, had been sitting undisturbed in The Hague's Museum voor Communicatie since 1926. It was recently rediscovered and … [Read more...] about ‘Letterlocked’ Trove: X-Rays to Peer into Sealed 17th-Century Notes

For several years, NVIDIA has been working with some of the world’s leading financial institutions to develop and execute a wide range of rapidly evolving AI strategies. For the past three years, we’ve asked them to tell us collectively what’s on the top of their minds. Sometimes the results are just what we thought they’d be, and other times they’re truly surprising. This year’s survey, conducted in a time of continued macroeconomic uncertainty, the results were a little of both. From banking and fintech institutions to insurance and asset management firms, the goals remain the same — find ways to more accurately manage risk, enhance efficiencies to reduce operating costs, and improve experiences for clients and customers. By digging in deeper, we were able to learn which areas of AI are of most interest as well as a bit more. Below are the top four findings we gleaned from our “ State of AI in Financial Services: 2023 Trends ” survey taken by nearly 500 global financial … [Read more...] about Survey Reveals Financial Industry’s Top 4 AI Priorities for 2023
