I am not engaging further. You asked for meaningful refutation of your observation, I provided one. Academia has stricter rules than regular society.

Many do indeed hold the position that all LLM output is uncopyrightable plagiarism. They're probably right, but there's an even stronger argument here: Science papers of a phd level must contain: 1. one or more novel insights 2. a

I'm running OpenBSD on an ER4 as my firewall. Can't do that on more recent Ubiquiti hardware. Your boos don't bother me, I've seen what makes you cheer!

Cookie popups were once issued by browsers in response to a Set-Cookie header. 25 years ago, it was fairly common to open the login page, type in your creds and _then_ hit "accept cookies from domain.com". Some time after IE6 and

They run linux and offer ssh but with a custom shell that mirrors the "web shell" in usefulness. Ubiquiti sucks nowadays but Microtik is simply insane.

I made no mention of anyone being politically sympathetic or otherwise. A private investor is _private_ and thus not subject to a government bailout. The argument for government bailouts used to be that "grandpa would lose his pensio

And these equity-investors, do they use their own money to buy the (presumably non-voting) stocks? Cause if that's the case, I see no reason for a government bailout should things go south. Nobody's pension would be affected by so

They're not profitable either, so the money has to come from somewhere, no?

Most bank runs tend to be driven by vibes, not numbers though. The good news is that these folks seem to be in possession of a vibe-rator.

I'm not a systems guy, but you're probably right. A mutex requires an atomic variable which triggers the same cache coherency mechanism under contention. What Justine probably meant was an apples to oranges comparison: in userspac

The video is about a 2x1 link, which the author hopes to eventually scale up to 3x4 using 40 gig transceivers. I'd say thunderbolt is probably safe in the near future.

Ah, I meant that for a classic heap, it's convenient to assign h[0] to the limit of your goal function (e.g. -inf for a min heap) cause that way you can skip the while i>0 check and just do while h[i>>1] > min(h[i], h[i+1])

That's a nice niche you found (spoken from one heap fan to another) but I have to say I strongly disagree with your use of *roughly* twice as much At best you were off by one but in the context of performance, you'd want to assign
