First hand knowledge: ERGO and MunichRE both have a lot of cobol still doing the core business. You will most likely never run into the system because they just run batch jobs - sometimes configured via a “nice” web UI… you configure your j

And to be even more fair: It is strictly regulated how much money Morgan and Morgan can get out of someone who they represent.

The pictures in the article are very nice and well done but I could not stop noticing the dirty yellow cable they used in some shots…

Most big tech companies maintain their own NPM registry that only includes approved packages. If you need a new package available in that registry you have to request it. A security team will then review that package and its deps and add it

I once had to go through a SWIFT certification and it was a nightmare… They make you jump through so many rings… They make you buy hardware from them (for their certification runs), their documentation is awful. Their test environment is aw

No. But training an LLM is certainly very very expensive and a gamble every time you do it. I think of it a bit like a pharmaceutical company doing vaccine research…

I found loosing weight was a lot easier than maintaining weight. When loosing weight you have a lot more wiggle room… As long as you are spending more calories than consuming you loose weight. It does not matter if you have a deficit of 20k

Yeah its not. It is actually really good and I bet they make a ton of money.

100%. Some more modern languages - eg. Swift – have "sendable" value types that are inherently thread safe. In my experience some developers tend to equate "sendable" / thread safe data structures with a silver bull

It clearly is a 100% custom UI logic implemented by OpenAI… They render the products in carrousels… They probably get a list of product and brand names from the LLM (for certain requests/responses) and render that in a separate UI afte

ChatGPT also makes money via affiliate links. If you ask ChatGPT something like "what is the best airline approved cabin luggage you can buy?" you get affiliate links to Amazon and other sites. I use ChatGPT most of the time befor

"A 0.1 µm interstellar dust grain (≈10⁻¹⁴ kg) striking a spacecraft at 0.2 c carries ≈20 J of kinetic energy—millions of times below “tens of millions of joules.” Reaching 10–50 MJ would require a ≈0.14 mm grain (≈10 µg), vastly rarer

Every time I see anything on the N-Body problem I am reminded by my final high school project... I had 2-3 weeks of time to write an n-body simulation. Back then I used C++ and my hardware was really bad (2 GHz single core CPU or so…). The

I am not sure all humans work the same way though. Some get very very nervous when they begin to struggle. So nervous that they just stop functioning. I felt that during my time in university. I absolutely loved reading and working through

Immunosuppressive or immune modulating drugs are not that bad. Usually people can take them without too much issues. Yes: Your risk for cancer increases a bit and you have to be careful to not get sick etc. but overall its not that bad. Mos

I am not sure making things safe by default is a good idea. This always comes with a cost. Thats also the reason why basic data types (array, dictionaries, etc) are generally not thread safe… because its usually not needed or handled on a m

In my experience, changing the password at big corps usually locks you out and requires a call to IT. I had a success rate of about 50% when I had to change passwords. It was the most frustrating thing... "Oh yeah your password change

Uhhh. I hated JS for years and years until I started to actually look at it. If you just follow a few relatively simple rules JS is actually very nice and "reliable". Those "rules" are also relatively straight forward: l
