Re:Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke? on Friday January 23, 2026 @02:52AM (#46729725)
Not sure about your last point but in serial comms there are start and stop bits and sometimes parity. We generally used 8 data bits with no parity so in effect there are 10 bits per character including the stop and start bits. That pretty much matched up with file transfer speeds achieved using one of the good protocols that used sliding windows to remove latency. To calculate expected speed just divide baud by 10 to covert from bits per second to characters per second then there is a little efficiency loss due to protocol overhead. This is direct without modems once you introduce those the speed could be variable.
OpenAI's model is closed source. IDK if distilling can be done via the API effectively? DeepSeek already has distilled models from other open source models like Qwen which have been done by 3rd party researchers, and I assumed that happened rapidly because they are all open source.

Google took about 6 months to accept my edit to an incorrectly named park near me. I took pictures of the signs as proof of course I could not submit them as evidence but a thought someone else would report it. In OSM I could change it in a few minutes and I am not very familiar with the tool.
Check out Marcan's channel. The Apple ARM silicon Linux bring up is epic, almost 12hours, Apple used a fair amount of custom hardware. https://www.youtube.com/live/GxnWuXgj3JI?si=lUJ_7KdkylzXLryj

Gym(nasium) comes from greek word gymnos which translates to naked. Exercise was performed naked it seems.
Look at user and system times in your test. rmz seems much worse by that measure, particularly syscalls its 4x more time for 4x the number of cpus, maybe a link there. evidently it is multi threaded and as you say causes contention.
Virgin Arris routers can be put in modem mode you put your own router behind it. I guess this solves most shortcomings and security issues.

HP have two contiguous class A 15 & 16 the latter was inherited when they took over DEC. That cant be justified.
