Instead of the rule of thumb you’ve seen how about the rule of thumb you’ve tried? Make two simple HTML forms: one with an input that instantaneously accepts input and another with 100 ms delay. You can definitely tell the difference.

It says Terminal.app follows closely behind the fastest. This level of discussion around “fast” terminals is funny to me. I’ve always used Terminal.app and never had a single problem. It turns out the default option is likely the best in th

It doesn't seem LLMs are capable of "understanding" that they don't "know" something, so there are certainly some observable differences. But the intent of my original comment was precisely to highlight that w

What makes you think that? What we can LLMs are a specific architecture that literally does predict the next token, one at a time. This isn’t the only way to generate text. Perhaps humans use a method that synthesizes all the text at once.

Ok, so it sounds like Powershell would have the exact same issue as the Linux pipes. The issue has nothing to do with determinism with the pipeline construction and everything to do with the fact that part of the pipeline writes to stderr,

What do you mean “without concurrency”? One program runs entirely before the other starts?

Debt-to-GDP has been (essentially) monotonically increasing since the year 2000. You’re not going to like the value each year until infinity.

That may have been surprising, but, if you think about it a little deeper, it makes perfect sense. Programs in a pipeline execute concurrently. If they didn’t, pipelines wouldn’t be useful. For instance a pipeline that downloads a tar file

One little known fact about REITs is that the capital gains are taxed as income not as capital gains. On the other hand, you can use depreciation and a 1031 exchange to avoid paying any taxes on real estate you own / sell.

Typically, fractional ownership of real estate assets is typically done via a tenancy in common title, not via a share mechanism, so your “share” (literally “portion”, which can be partial or whole) is a fraction of the whole.
312.
by 4death4 3y ago
Really? Most people own fractional shares of real estate, e.g. when the property is part of a marital estate. Investing in a REIT is just investing in a company that happens to derive cash flows from real estate. You’re not buying fractiona

If the debt is structured in such a way that the lender can demand payment in full at any time, then sure, that might work. But the vast majority of debt is not structured like that.

by 4death4 3y ago
Where does the lender get this magic “get paid in full” option? Obviously if the lender has that option, they would take it. But they don’t. Even if they got a court order demanding wework pay out, that claim would get lumped in with all th

But owning a REIT is nothing like owning property. Sure, REITs and investment properties both derive cash flows from rent, but the similarities stop there. In general, asking “why not X instead of Y” without giving reasons why X is preferab

I contributed the same value as you. Owning property and owning a REIT have very little in common other than a correlation in market value.

Why not just buy fractional shares of a property?

> Iterators are important... but they are not conceptually complicated. To me, the essence of asking “so what?” is primarily about importance not complexity. When you ask “so what?” You’re essentially asking “Why should I care? What can

If your reaction to iterators is “so what?” then I would say you fundamentally don’t understand computation. Asking “so what?” about iterators has plenty of useful answers that will aide you in programming. The same is not really true about

When I was younger I preferred recruiters. Now that I’m at a more senior level, I’ve found recruiters to be a net negative. The reason is that, as your salary grows, so does the commission paid to the recruiter. Companies have been much mor

I don’t think morals factor in to the decision to allow / disallow traffic on a private network. That’s definitely morally neutral and to suggest otherwise is immoral.

Your pihole could MITM the traffic. It doesn’t need unencrypted SNI to work.

It’s illegal so that individual employee will be brought before the courts. If the employee was justified, the jury will nullify their conviction.

Valve is a contributor, so that’s not an entirely true statement. And I was replying to your original statement that “Proton is just wine”, which again, is not true.

My dog definitely teases me. She’ll grab one of my socks and sit in front of me with the sock laying on the floor. As soon as I go to pick it up, she’ll snatch it and run away.

According to the article, Steam OS also uses two Direct 3D to Vulkan translation libraries. That’s obviously a big part of running a game.

Is there really such a thing as clean industry? Seems like wishful thinking.
