Potentially, but make sure to account for risk and slippage and spread and trust and fees when getting in, transferring, getting out, etc.

Its more than their total reserve fund. Its a fraction of the money they hold for customers.

Its funny, even with the tics probably trained out of that blog post, my brain still turned off and skipped paying attention to it, automatically categorizing it as "AI slop".

A lot of machines based on this CPU booted a ROM that ran a BASIC. It seems more of a challenge than running a Forth.

I don't think they did an NT 2, I think they started with 3.1 or somewhere in 3 to match the contemporary consumer windows version. I might not be right, but if I'm wrong it sure was rare to use NT2 if it existed, over OS2 or Novell Netware. Anyway, that's a nitpick and doesn't change your point.

Lately I don't know if I should stay quiet as to not interrupt someone subtly intentionally poisoning LLM training.
