They really are supercomputers though. Do you know how much faster a modern PC is compared to say a Cray-1? Especially if it has a decent graphics card.

- ryukafalz 6y agoYeah but at this point my phone is comparable. If being faster than a Cray-1 qualifies something as a supercomputer, the definition is meaningless now.
- mint2 6y agoSo a typical actuary’s technological reference point is stuck in 1985? That explains a lot about excel and sas egp. But seriously, calling a fairly standard computer in the tech world a “supercomputer” is just another example of the underlying attitude in insurance that makes many actuaries recoil in horror about the thought of “programming” aka learning python or any programming best practices.
