> The big banks are terrible

Fixed that for you. The big banks have one thing going for them, they're big. That means they will have a wide network and a large service organization, but most feel no need to meaningfully compete for your business. You're going to use them because they're big. You're not going to get meaningful interest on your deposits at a big bank, because they don't need your deposits; bankrate shows me rates up to 4.75%, with banks I've heard of at 4.3%, Ally at 3.75%, my credit union at 2.5% (at least it's moving up, although the pace of increases is a lot slower than the decreases were :/), and Chase is at the national average of big banks: 0.02%. Certainly, 0.02% was understandable in the zero-rate environment, but I'm pretty sure it's been Chase's interest rate for the last 30 years (no data, just a hunch). Mortgage rates float in and out of competitiveness, especially if you jump through the hoops for a relationship discount; that's a good business where volume means profit at origination, and it's easy to sell the loans if they want to (that's part of why their underwriting is so cookie cutter; gotta make it easy to resell).

If you're in the SF Bay Area, you should really check out the local credit unions; some of them are pretty decent. Co-op/shared branch banking takes care of most of the access issues, but you might want to be aware that after hours telephone service is directed to a shared branch call center. My credit union holds and services the mortgages they originate, which means you don't have to deal with the servicing changed dance, and also they're able to do limited paperwork rate adjustments for a reasonable fee; much simpler than a refinance.
I love git. I've used it for my personal projects, used it for work, used it for projects ive lead. Small teams, larger teams, single person. Occasional contributors, fulltime contributors, so on, all included.

I have never felt the urge to try anything else - so I'm as biased as I can be.

I think GitHub went down hill so much that I get a little angry every time I have to use it. It used to be snappy - links you click used to actually load. Now, somehow, they managed to make it a single page app that stays on one view even when it has already loaded another -- its very strange. I go to issues, click new issue, the URL changes, the loading bar finishes -- and nothing. Just still the issues view. A few seconds later it changes.

I cant push to git@github.com:lionkor/my-new-repo to create a repo (GitLab allows this, and it makes working a lot smoother).

The PR view is horrendous. GitHub actions are nice, but not great. I prefer GitLab here, too.

Then again - nobody is forcing me to use GitHub, so I dont have an issue with it. If it becomes more shit, people will migrate, and it will slowly die.

Tools which assume github as the primary git repo host are faulty by design, though.
We are still ignoring the original problem....

The original problem behind these regional bank failures is that there is not enough diversity in those having extra cash in accounts and so when a FED rate change comes along that is big enough, those excess funds seek higher rates of interest thus leaving said bank with a problem of legacy assets tied to the old FED rate. We see the same pattern with Apple getting $! Billion in new savings account, yes that is Billion with a b due to their interest rate offering.

In short words a product problem with on one side products tied to the old FED rate and not being nimble enough to offer a product for the excess cash customers have that offers the higher interest rate. Or in short a virtual replay of the S&L crisis in the 1980s without all the corruption behind it.

And one should note that MMA products were suppose to fix this issue.

Is this a serious question? Mozilla is mostly known for its web browser, and historically this was always the case. Microsoft is known for its OS and office suite, Google is known for search (and many other things), and Apple for its iDevices. None of these companies has ever been a browser-first company, so I wouldn't expect any of them to focus primarily on building a web browser.
Except when it prevents merging companies.
That’s just the Alan Kay definition - just because he coined the term, it is not at all how it is used nowadays.

OOP as commonly understood requires some form of inheritance.
IBM is known for its marketing BS over “AI” (see the previous fiasco surrounding the trail of unfulfilled hype with Watson) but this one really takes the cake.

IBM has long been struggling. They could release a press release saying they’re pausing hiring because businesses are underperforming. Or they could play the news cycle and say it’s because of how awesome their “AI” is. Interpret that as you wish.
I lucked out a bit in having only recently learned about the need for a nonlinear transfer function (although it was taught to me as a "That's just how we do it," not with the associated underlying explanation that you can't represent all functions with only linear functions).
Obviously Yes.
> but is bad practice

Says who/why?

"It's mean/I don't get a callout/the credit I deserve" is "bad practice"?

Why aren't you honored that your product was good enough for Google to absorb and build off of? I'd be super proud.
Windows, Linux, OpenBSD - it doesn't matter. Without a TPM you're vulnerable to trivial attacks (Evil Maid), far easier than the one in this article.
It's a coin-flip. Google could just decide to pull the deal if consumers end up using AI more than search engines. AI is the next warfront for Google.

The browser war isn't going to be won by Mozilla at this point. It's been and gone. Most consumers live in non-browser apps most of the time.
> Conferences, in my experience, are mostly a waste of time. I can usually watch the keynotes online after the fact if I care to. I'm not interested in joining discussion groups and posting; like the vast majority of people, I'm content to lurk, but I'm not blind!

They are great for recruiting.
I have seen this fail very hard in practice.

Because most kids can get there parents credit card number, and the "small nominal fee" is often too little and also often too cryptically booked for many parents to realize what is going on or to ask their bank about it.

And because it's just a "small nominal fee" many kids are also not worried about causing any harm when doing so.

Additionally with the credit card e-comerce system becoming more dominant in the world it becomes increasingly more likely for not-quite adults to have something which looks like a credit card for the shop (but likely acts a bit different behind the scene).

Lastly it potentially leaks _a lot_ of private information, which in some contexts is okay but in others is not. Which is also why the small nominal fee trick works, it's often not just based on "only adults have a credit card" but on "let's use the credit card number to get a lot information about the user including if they are adult".
When I worked at Google, there was a group for people to advertise apartments to each other in SF. I think 20% of them were rentals owned by VPs/Directors or other high level employees. that seems like an even bigger conflict of interests. When you rent from a megacorp, there’s realistically a million levels of bureaucracy between “work weekends” and “rent review”. When you rent from your skip level manager… your landlord can be directly approving your raises AND rent rates.

…might help with layoffs though.
People mock them for that Jeopardy thing, but that would have been the perfect first move to offering something like Watson as a service.

They could have built it over time to offer real assistance to knowledge workers with a real revenue stream.

But that would have required vision and foresight.
I wish i could block sites like yahoo, since they're so heavily advertising driven.
It also helps that the service they're re-selling is actually good.

This law is so nonsensical. There is no way to block all the porn in the world behind "legitimate and law-abiding" porn providers. The right way to approach this problem (if you even see it as a problem) is to filter on the device.

Just make content tagging mandatory and make a device level filter that can be turned on by parents and locked with a password.

Done.
So there seems like a glaring hole in the answer, but maybe I'm missing something. Because:

> It is easy to prove from this definition by transfinite recursion that the ordinals come in an alternating even/odd pattern, and that every limit ordinal (and hence every infinite cardinal) is even.

Sure, if we use the natural numbers and start at 1, then we can group:

[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], ...

and prove infinity is even.

But we could also just as easily group:

1, [2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7], ...

and prove infinity is odd.

It's the same if we try to split into two equal subsets, because we can split into:

[1, 3, 5, ...]
[2, 4, 6, ...]

and say it's even. Or we can divide:

1
[2, 4, 6, ...]
[3, 5, 7, ...]

and prove it's odd because we have two equal subsets plus one left over.

So I'm missing the reason for why the second versions aren't just as valid.

(Of course, I'm more inclined to agree with many commenters here that it's just a category error, and asking whether infinity is even/odd is as useful as asking whether democracy is blonde or brunette.)

In Europe, parents fear that violent media might effect their children, but worry less about sexual media.

In America, parents worry that sexual media might effect their children, but worry less about violent media.

I'm of the opinion that both are half right and both are half wrong. Both violent and sexual media effect the people who consume it. We are what we eat. There is no kind of media that doesn't effect consumers of that media in some way. Also, it bears mentioning that a lot of pornography is both sexual and violent...

(In case it isn't clear, those two trends I list above are gross generalizations. When I was a child in America, my mother would not allow me to play with tin soldiers or GI Joes, nerf guns, or watch cartoons more violent than Arthur. Not a typical American childhood, but nevertheless still an American childhood. Generalizations always have exceptions but I think they can be useful nevertheless.)
The AS/400 is, indeed, a truly weird system. Nowadays it runs as a VM guest on an IBM POWER system. Interestingly, it makes use of hardware tagged memory functionality in the IBM POWER CPUs.

I think left-handed people rotate the paper slightly clockwise.
There’s no way to provide risk free returns on demand deposits, other than the government just deciding to give away money. Hedging doesn’t magically eliminate risk at zero cost.

If you're making firecrackers or just throwing rough weed into butter, it can be rough. It's a drug, and you should partake safely. Weigh the flower, estimate the percentage of that weight that's THC (20% is usually safe), decarb it, infuse in a fat, and dose carefully and safely, estimating no more than 5 mg THC max for the first attempt, and giving at least 2 full hours (or preferably another day) before trying more.

Edibles are a lot more work and deliberation, and can give much more varied experiences due to digestion and personal metabolism (there are suggestions of enzyme differences that can make a major difference too). I never suggest it without a full rundown full of details and warnings. I only bring it up because I can't in good conscience simply recommend smoking anything to somebody who might care about their lung health.

That said, I've seen and had some really bad experiences on some badly-dosed edibles, but it doesn't compare to the worst I've seen messing around with real concentrates. Overdoses aside, I've had friends graduate from flower to edibles to tinctures to BHOs and just end up imbibing hundreds of milligrams of THC a day, and the results are often chronic anxiety, hyperemesis, inability to sleep, paranoia, and intense withdrawal when you quit. People who say "it's just a plant, it's harmless" haven't seen the effects of extreme abuse, and that's coming from somebody who generally likes using cannabis.
I'm not suggesting the concerns aren't valid, but I guess I don't understand why this same principal isn't applied to other internet connected / cloud software? Do these companies worry that web browsers like Chrome could leak data or applications like Google Docs?

What is it about an AI chat bots that makes the risk of a data leak so much higher? Is something about OpenAI's ToS? Or it's relative infancy?
It all depends on performance per dollar - POWER and AIX, POWER and Linux, x86 and Linux, ARM and Linux, SPARC and Solaris... It's all about what gets you more work done per unit of money until you retire the box. Is it compelling? Not sure - depends on licensing terms, co-location costs, what are you doing, energy costs, AND compute power. As compelling x86 and ARM with Linux seem to be now, I wouldn't rule out other platforms without an assessment based on the workload.

Once I managed to bring a couple Itanium boxes we had from retirement because their then humongous caches were perfect fits for our working dataset and, therefore, for that specific workload they were 10x faster than our Xeons.
it's sort of a US thing to let alternatives proliferate so they compete with one another, or are supposed to do so, rather than collude and whatever else goes on.
You left out “zero risk”

Banks have always been able to fail, then you lose the deposits. What people are now asking for is unlimited insurance, which encourages risk takings amongst banks
Generalizing the question a little in case someone passes through with an answer:

Why should a couple of hackers working out of the proverbial garage building the next unicorn consider IBM as their infrastructure vendor?

What are their offerings? How do those stack up against the defaults of aws/Azure + Linux + Postgres/MySql?

Assume said hackers are broke.
What surprises me about this stuff is that no one has ever tried to get a definitive answer to this sort of question with the help of reverse engineering. It's always this guesswork for some reason. It does not have to be guesswork when the ground truth is right there inside your C:\Windows folder.
If you think your traffic is not being monitored over Tor, then you have thought incorrectly. It can be monitored at the exit node no problem, and is likely monitored _more_ closely than other endpoints.

Your only hope is either not using exit nodes (and only using hidden services), or encrypting all of your traffic _and_ making sure different apps/services use different Tor circuits. This does not happen by default, meaning all of your traffic is mixed together. It doesn't matter that it migrates routes every so often.

Exit nodes don't know where the traffic is coming from, until, of course, you accidentally access your personal domain name over HTTPS just by visiting it, which leaks through SNI. Hope you don't host your own services!
Mostly agree, but there is actually a mismatch between madd_epi16 and Arm.
Implementing Arm semantics or x86 on the other requires ~5 instructions, but if we generalize the definition to allow reordering (e.g. Highway's ReorderWidenMulAccumulate [1]), it's only 2 instructions.

I don't know what factory car loans look like now, but for my last new car, they offered me a 5-year 0% loan vs a $500 incentive if I paid in cash. Safe interest rate paid for the missed incentive. It's a smidge less convenient to have a loan, but no big deal.
Well, I asked ChatGPT:

> Infinity is not a number, odd or even, but rather a concept or a mathematical idea that represents an unbounded or limitless quantity. Infinity is not a real number that can be used in ordinary arithmetic operations, but it is used to describe a quantity that is larger than any finite number. Therefore, the concept of odd or even does not apply to infinity.
