Why is the atomic version slower? Is it slower on modern x86?

It is criminal that you can’t see different angles for these beautiful cars! 507 with no front view? I need to see the evolution of those kidneys!

We have the technology to cheaply enforce most driving laws. IMO we should do it.

> PPS: I think my ideal type hint situation would be if I could create distinct but otherwise unconstrained types for things like function arguments and function returns, have mypy or other typing tools complain when I mixed them

Cleaner/safer function args and return types is a common motivation for dataclass. has benefits over many/complex args besides typing too.

> providers could choose not to generate electricity for a grid if it were necessary

Enron basically forced this exact situation in order to charge inflated prices.

Maybe worse is that this isn’t even the reason they ended up in court.

There should be a camera on every intersection

Wouldn’t the price movement overwhelm the spread if you sell more than a few days after you buy? I guess if spreads were huge it would matter more

Why do high spreads mean more money for middlemen?

I’d buy some parts if there was a service! Could be a good way to get the word out

The trusty one dimensional model of things. This is why I always train my neural nets with one parameter (sign bit only).

Imo it doesn’t matter at all. Both are fine. Surely there are more pressing things out there to think about!

Idk if this is worth the trouble. Isn’t a judge just going to stamp these requests anyway? Like sure maybe it’s better if they do but probably won’t be groundbreaking

If an exchange goes to AWS, would it suddenly look worse than its competitors? And would that hurt the exchange’s revenue?

Having the CEO leave doesn’t guarantee safer planes. If anything, I’d want to hear what the company leadership is doing to change production… not necessarily how it’s being reshuffled

why not put the terminal in the urban area and have a fast train/ferry/whatever to the runways
