I don't think this is quite correct. If the LLM has seen lots of instances of usage of an API, it can write code to target the API. It can generalize to some degree, but things go off track the further your requirements are away from t

Exactly. Low yielding long maturity assets are worth a lot less in a higher interest rate environment. The assets the bank held declined in value. This would have been a solvency issue, if not today, then someday very soon.

Controls nets also blur the line here. You can start out with a generated image selected from hundreds of samples (human input: curation), do a canny edge detection or fake scribble, then start tweaking and adjusting it to remove elements t

Compiling to machine code rather than VM bytecode is a difference in degree rather than kind, and doing it well rather than naively is a deep topic. Simple machine code generation with basic register allocation and evaluation which eagerly

$1000 worth of bonds at 2% simple interest rate returns $1200. The US 10 year treasury interest rate is 3.7% right now. That means you can get $1200 in 10 years with $835 today at 3.7% compounding; 1200 / 1.037^10 = 834.44 and change.

Yes, but you also need to look at the net present value. A loan today would need to be at below market rate interest in order to match up with the value of the bonds held to maturity. Interest rates rising means products with a fixed rate y

I'm talking about the consumer experience. The practical upshot is you give your money to AirBnB, it's not coming back, no matter how dreadful an experience you have. You have to go after the host. The risk is not worth it.

It's possible on a scooter, which has a lower speed, low centre of gravity (so you have more relative leverage) and small wheels (i.e. the amount of spinning mass is less, and closer to the axis of spin). On a big bike with big wheels

What's not explained in the text on that video is that braking while leaned over causes a motorbike to steer itself upright. You can't go around a corner on a bicycle or motorbike at more than about 5mph without counter-steering.

AirBnB is like a no-recourse Paypal for random third parties of unknown psychological stability. You do not contract with AirBnB. I recommend staying well away from them. I have my own horror story, involving an overflowing toilet and hyste

Sometimes they could still do with more detail, especially when using imprecise imperial measurements. The one that I find most irritating is using volume measurements for non-liquids, e.g. cup of flour (sifted or not?), or ratios, where it
