Then wouldn't the Apple mentality be "Touchpads ... for everything!" (and thus a steb back)?

Yeah, she's like Frank Underwood, except it wasn't a mercy killing.

Yes, there is: the case you were replying to.

Whether a language has a governing body is irrelevant to whether you should attempt to use clear, easily-understood language. The concerns apply equally in French and English.

Semi-related, it always bothered me that we use the term "wireless" for something that still has wires (just not between the endpoints). Though I don't object, or have a better alternative, and I get the logic of calling it w

That would be true regardless of the means of obtaining the GPUs -- I was just replying to the issue of the cash->GPU funnel, not asserting that any other part of the operation is easy.

Couldn't you also buy GPUs in person with cash and mine with them?

Do they still wait until the very last moment before launching to tell you that the account you're logged in under doesn't actually have permission to launch EC2 instances? http://blog.tyrannyofthemouse.com/2016&#x

Aren’t they basically the same rate?

I see. In any case, I don't think anything stops them from augmenting ChatGPT(-as-seen-by-the-user) so that it incorporates modules that aren't mere language models and thus allow richer behavior, as I suspected they were already

Merely substituting one low-risk instrument for another doesn't seem like a meaningful difference in this context. Coincidentally, just two days ago I commented on the distinction to someone suggesting this kind of service: https:&#x2

Hold on -- sometimes when they're all charging the same price, it's because that's actually "the market price" in the sense that it wouldn't be profitable to do it for an less, and they actually have their own

So I can go on to ChatGPT and expect it will never be able to close brackets for me?

Also, the silent h and y versus ll. There's a scene in Breaking Bad where Jesse ridicules Skinny Pete for spelling "street" as "streat", and in the Spanish subtitles, it's replaced with "calle" (the w

We have that, that's called a (federal) money market mutual fund. Edit: sorry, you said the Fed, which MMMFs don't put money in. But they buy short-term Treasurys at comparable or better yields, which is ultimately what you want,

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about: "well, substantively they're the same, but, uh, well, S&L's emphasized mortgages more". Um, okay. But, at the end of the day, I'm not seeing the substanti

The sector no longer exists? Well, nothing under that name exists, but I'm struggling to see the substantive difference between an S&L and a credit union, even after checking out the Wikipedia page on that: https://en.

No, I didn’t argue that straw man.

Without knowing the details of why it got waived, it's hard to know whether that was reckless or not. And remember, it wasn't (unrecovered) mortgage defaults that sank FRC.

Despite pointing it out three times now, you don't seem to realize that the discussion is about whether the insurance cap is a good solution to the problem of rich people not using their money to make the world better , as you origina

You don't follow... your own argument, that you were advancing? You were bringing up the insurance cap to support this argument: >There is a reason we don't want billionaires to feel safe with their assets sitting places. We wa

by SilasX 4y ago
Yes, but it's just as "with their assets sitting places"[1] as it was before -- the shuffling doesn't address the problem you raised in your comment[1] and proposed that as a solution to. [1] https://news.ycom

But long-term Treasurys are liquid, they just lost value. Be careful not to equate the two. And bizarrely, capital requirements don't require banks to account for duration risk, which is what screwed SVB (and is screwing a lot of oth

Since no one's mentioned it, another interesting incidence of this was when Anton Yelchin (who played Chekov in the newer Star Trek movies) died from mistakenly putting his Jeep into neutral when he thought he put it in park. Chrysler
