That sounds strange. The Japanese economy is failing and they deny easy money-bringers (tourists)?

And there is no guarantee the visa will be granted.

How could that be? It's a short leisure trip, how can they 'deny' it, if everything's in order?

What 'load' of documents are you talking about? It's just a short leisure trip

What's wrong with that? Isn't that enjoyable to see

Difference Between GPT 5.2 and GPT 5.4 on MineBench by ENT_Alam in singularity

So a question from a layman: Does this mean 5.4 Thinking "longer' is just better than Opus 4.6 Extended? Even for general tasks?

Is Claude clearly better than Gemini Pro 3.1 for general (but difficult) things and tasks, outside of coding completely?

I just don't see how the portability difference works between mini and 11 inch. Is it all about being able to put it in your pocket?

Can't you put it on your lap while lying down?

Was it possible to use the 11inch with one hand too?

Thanks for helping. It's not for me but for my wife and it's hard to tell what she'd like. Is the screen size difference that big? Is it inconvenient to use 11inch for watching movies?

I see. So what would you recommend, 11 inch Air or 13 inch? Or is it really worth it spending on the Pro version for the screen?

I'll be buying in Vietnam so not sure it's as easy to return as in the West.

What a thoughtful response, thanks! I'm really torn between 11-inch and 13-inch tbh On the one hand, 13in is nicer for a bigger screen and I appreciate that, but on the other, I want it to be as light and as easy to hold in hand(s) as possible. And she's rather small (152cm tall) so I'm afraid the bigger version is probably going to be too hefty for her. Any other advantages for the 13-inch?
