> There's no "trick" involved Well we can argue on the meaning of trick I guess. Share buybacks are essentially a way to achieve the same effect as dividends, but in a non-obvious way, which has the benefit of avoiding tax

> What does this mean? What's the trick? The trick is essentially to buyback your own shares and destroy them. That effectively redistributes the value you bought to other shareholders, much like a dividend would. How is that better

My experience with dynamically rendered math has been the opposite: if you have lots of equations to render, it inevitably takes some milliseconds to render, which makes the whole content move around and shake as rendering takes places.

So essentially he gives 2 arguments: 1) You get intermediate results visible in the debugger / accessible for logs, which I think is a benefit in any language. 2) You get an increased safety in case you move around some code. I do thin

Look, you do you, but rest assured that you don't get 11% for no reason.

Seriously at this point who cares about US licenses ? It has been abuduntly clear that AI companies can train however they want, and nobody will enforce anything. Realistically speaking, even if you could prove someone misused your software

What is most scary to me, is that these grants are not opportunistic (money is raised when needed), they are on an enveloppe basis (the amount to be distributed is fixed). Essentially that means for every dollar not spent on, say, the PSF;

I'm not literate at all on nuclear physics, but I remember in the "Chernobyl" TV show (which seemed trustworthy) some divers died after going in the cooling water to close the pumps. How was that water different ?
