valuable datapoint (in the scope of llms being used for scams and shit) but perhaps not quite the right post to reply to about that, tbh

haha I did try to ponder what the "LLMs, but cobol" corp world would look like but I couldn't really think of anything particularly good, although this might be one

the other I thought of is:

1. bank: "we have an innovative AI/ML/adaptive-fraud-response(/other bullshit term of art here) research team, leading the way with novel research in methodologies for detecting {.....}"
2. dept researchers throw some papers and jupyter notebooks over the wall
3. suits up top say "okay now make it work"
4. some poor bastard has to figure out how to glue cobol and jupyter together on systemz in some way that doesn't get them fired or risk millions/minute

I'm sure it'll all go perfectly well

yeah for some reason it's not very well known, which is why I tell people about it. I'm 90% done with my months-ago-promised browser post, and should have it up soon

couple last-minute irks came up recently as I was doing some stuff, so now I'm trying to figure out whether those have answers or not..

the press release (archive) says:

featuring its first advanced on-processor chip AI accelerator for inferencing

For instance, our AI-driven fraud detection solutions are designed to save clients millions of dollars annually. With the introduction of the AI accelerator on the Telum processor, we’ve seen active adoption across our client base. Building on this success, we’ve significantly enhanced the AI accelerator on the Telum II processor

if I'm reading this correctly, it's on-die in the telum ii, but was a separate thing (like co-processor or architecture add-in card or something) previously?

the usecase sooooort of makes sense but I'm still skeptical about part of it because this seems awfully like it'd be potentially limited by changes over time in how one might do such tasks (e.g. if a new preferred inferencing method comes out that doesn't quite fit the chip pattern). but also "our AI-driven fraud detection solutions" - ah.

guess it'll be interesting to see how this shit sits in 10y or something.

saw you already got two answers, another answer: medium's stupid popover blocker is based on a counter value in a cookie that you could can blow up yourself (or get around with instance windows)

I am a very big fan of the Fx Temporary Containers extension

why are so many posters falling over themselves to Dr Phil it up when OP didn't ask for advice, fucking hell..

there's a difference between "barebones"[0] and this shit

[0] - I will grant you that notepad used to be abysmal about handling unicode in the before time, but it's been less-fucked since at least XP or so iirc

actual fucking anti-monopoly enforcement cannot come goddamn soon enough

did you come like this off the factory line, or did you have to work at it?

"I'm for it, y'know? but not like that, and not like that either. but I'm for it, sure, sure"

I feel so informed, thanks for sharing your thoughtful position, so glad you took the time

what, pray tell, was the point of your comment? on this thread? did you have one?

just by reading this comment thread as-is, and searching up one single word, should be all you need to become less confused
