More ideas than time to pursue them.
Often Feels smart and dumb simultaneously.

They already figured they would need trillions revenue. So they paint an economic where such amount is plausible.
The fact the author had never been in a call with the SVP implies incidents that happened before were explained in details, without much process change.
ApplecCare is as much a warranty as their Apple's phone are guaranteed waterproof.
It's marketing.
The 3 year warranty add-ons is an insurance. One can get an insurance for any device.
But our appreciation keep getting skewed because flagship phones make leaps forward.
Infomercial at its best.
No wonder we are hammered with ai announcements.
It goes both ways, and I would argue the spiral happens because the other side expects something above an beyond the possible.
When a business subsidizes for several years all its offerings, one can guess how it will end.
It reminds. Me of Devin. Took a while to debunk. Not saying Jev is a fraud , but the gap between structuring typed output and playing a game involving logical interpretation of frames made of pixels, screams unstructured interpretation they made and forgot to mention.
What's more important than the resource requirements is to highlight what the model simply cannot even attempt to do that general LLMs do decently well.
In other words, tell me the anti use case clearly so that I don't have to find out myself.
This is logical and empirically observed.
But you are right on the longer term effect. Zooming out: Fed hikes → inflation cools → inflation expectations fall → yields fall → mortgage rates fall.
But the latter is not guaranteed, and it takes time.
I'm unsure to understand how the ceiling and floor mechanisms work. But will dig into that. Thanks.
If interest rates go up, bonds get sold (for better yield bearing products), pushing the yields of those bonds higher. And it finds some equilibrium. The fact it isn't immediate has to do with short term vs long term bonds. When they mature and the pace of arbitrage.
I don't see how a rate hike is meant to lower mortgage rate. And just looking at the figures shows it's the opposite effect.
Logically, if borrowing money becomes more expensive, how could borrowing specifically for the purpose of buying houses become cheaper.
Perhaps the article isn't about font import, those better be in html headers or simply stick to system fonts.
Depending on CPU and the video/image resolution, performance drops means the eye perceives lags when the 50ms threshold is reached. For videos, especially at 60fps that matters.
For still images it doesn't.
If it ain't broke why fix it.
I find the hardware support argument far more compelling that diminishing the value of lossless publishing.
AVIF's "royalty-free" is under active legal attack (Dolby v. Snapchat). JXL has clean ISO commitments so no such suit would be possible. If "free" matters, JXL is safer.
Perceptive quality with the latest AV1 caught up, but that's a rigged timeline. Chrome supported JXL "late", then pulled it altogether. AVIF did improve further yes, it had web usage, it was behind when the race was meant to start. Why would JXL continue to optimize for web once the major browser refuses to support it.
So when a company is requested to hand over sensitive data, they do. For sure when the origin of the request is the government itself (pawned email in this case)
That's a dangerous kind of threat to be making, and to act upon. for information that should remain private let alone owned by the bank itself.
