My Arch install is still chugging along on my Dell XPS 13 from 2017, and I've noticed no difference whatsoever.

Windows machines definitely don't last as long, though I think a massive part of that is the ever increasing piles of steaming shit they keep piling into Windows every update. That's bad down to make any machine appear like it's slowing to a crawl.

    Yeah, I've trained a number of models (as part of actual CS research, before all of this LLM bullshit), and while I certainly understand the concepts behind training neural networks, I couldn't tell you the first thing about what a model I trained is doing. That's the whole thing about the black box approach.

    Also why it's so absurd when "AI" gurus claim they "fixed" an issue in their model that resulted in output they didn't want.

    No, no you didn't.

    Right, which begs the question: why wouldn't I just fucking search for what I want to know? Especially becauseI know for a fact that won't result in me having to sift through completely fabricated bullshit.

    High-Yield Savings Accounts are something distinct from normal savings accounts. I don't believe there are any HYSAs being offered that have rates as low as 1%.

    You can find many institutions online offering HYSAs. It is definitely pretty common. In personal finance circles it's very often recommended to put your emergency fund in a HYSA.

    And yes, as you noted, HYSAs have different rules than normal savings accounts. Just like how CDs do.
