Will US banks fall after a 0.25 rate hike?

No

The Fed would not raise rates for no reason. They're saving the dollar. As they said, the US financial system is stable, which means that even if small banks go bankrupt, they will be bought by larger banks.

The increase in rates and the export of gold from the United States does not speak about the stability of the American financial system. But in the short term, everything is stable and under control.

Are Apple processors faster than Intel?

No, it's just that Intel processors can't reach their maximum frequency because of the thickness of the laptop.

ARM-based processors are more power-hungry than Intel's x64 processors. Additionally, ARM processors use a 5nm process, while Intel uses a 10nm process, which affects power consumption.

There is a lot of marketing nonsense in the comparison of these processors. For Apple, it is definitely more advantageous to have its own processor and not depend on Intel. You can't compare processors of different architectures, and even less so trust the benchmarks.

Intel decided to demonstrate that its processors are better than the Apple M1

Are the possibilities of artificial intelligence as limitless as we are told?

No, there are limits to learning. The fast results create a sense of limitlessness.

Modern artificial intelligence models require a huge amount of electricity for training and work. There are physical limitations to computing power — transistors are no longer decreasing so fast. Only a few companies in the world produce advanced chips for artificial intelligence. This means that the zoom cannot be infinite. There are also limitations in terms of global data and knowledge — the amount of data available is limited. The AI industry is also facing a shortage of skilled workers.

Marketing and media often exaggerate the possibilities, ignoring the limitations. AI's capabilities are limited by physics, not just imagination. Equipment, energy, and data are limited. There will be no unlimited AI without new breakthroughs in physics and cognitive sciences.
