Lots of people asking here for this clear definition. If you understand this well, please lay it out here in a straightforward manner.

To me, Alexithymia alone proves this.

Hand-waving assumptions drawn from narrow subjective experience without awareness of the profound and contradictory results that have come from scientific study of consciousness and causality.

Increasing latency can also reduce TCP throughput ceiling, increase in-flight concurrency, and increase server memory consumption.

Wire protocol applies to external interaction with the db. Internal ABI/API is used by extensions to directly interact with core subsystems and depends on internal models for things like storage. It might be analogous to HTTP versus an

Of course market participants agree? Exchanges have calculation rules for every type of mark and payment and will always specify rounding.

Paris would need significant infrastructure work across the distribution system to handle AC at NYC’s rate of 90% on summer heat wave days.

Sure he does. It's not handwaving to complain that shipped features are never completed and a functional CLI for fundamental and critical tasks is never delivered.

The same way you get value out of a dev container.

Regulators don’t want to provide arbitrarily detail into their interpretation or likely judgements on issues that may come up for many reasons, good and bad. One good one is that providing concrete razors for compliant and non-compliant beh

If you take Pliny’s word for truth, they did achieve 10% of the scale of the largest currently operating gold mine using hydraulics at Las Medulas. Modern geological estimates are radically lower.

Tack is short for tackline, a length of line used to delimit messages encoded with flags in the days before shipboard radio communications. Military and civil emergency communications use alternative pronunciations where clarity and brevity

This is one of the most sustained bad-faith arguments I’ve seen on HN. The idea that 4 of the largest investment banks in the US were destroyed is not just utterly false, it’s hard to imagine how one could interpret the outcome in this mann

These companies innovate in all of those areas and direct those resources towards building hyper-scale custom infrastructure, including CPU, TPU, GPU, and custom networking hardware for the largest cloud systems, and conduct research and de

You're generalizing a failure at delivering one consumer solution and ignoring the successful infrastructure research and development that occurs behind the scenes. Meta builds hardware from chip to cluster to datacenter scale, and dri

This conception is simplistic, a straw man, and one that appears to be wholly ignorant of the Cosmopolitan tradition and reasonable criticisms thereof.

What a fallacy to equate the status quo of lawyers running the country with the United States itself.

by dumah 1y ago
No, on the balance it is lawyers who protect companies from the people they harm and lawyers who constitute the government officials who perpetually exceed and expand their mandates. Most of the senate are lawyers and it’s the most frequent

That’s irrelevant to the fact that the expected PnL on a millisecond of latency improvement is a lot more than 1M in some markets. Obviously if you are getting what ever trade you are concerned with off in less than one millisecond, the que

They don’t charge fees, because they’re not a brokerage or exchange. They pay fees to exchanges. As a market maker, some rebates are given back conditional on their activity. They have no users. You’re just constantly obliviously asserting

You have no concept of the infrastructure and organization necessary to operate these enterprises. All your posts here are low-information anti-finance rants.

There’s tons of latency sensitive code outside of the FPGA systems and it is not simple.

by dumah 1y ago
No, there are absolutely electronic trading markets where a difference of milliseconds of latency to certain events is worth more than a M PnL. That’s a long time.

You can fingerprint transmitters. Antennas would be much more difficult and likely moot. https://arxiv.org/html/2402.06250v1

Only a few percent of Down’s syndrome cases result from Robertson translocations and may be inherited. If the mother carries the translocation, the rate of recurrence isn’t much more than 10%. If it’s the father, it’s significantly less.
