Another one I've noticed is using "I've" as a contraction in e.g. "I've a meeting to attend". Seems totally reasonable but for some reason native speakers just don't use it that way.
I like this analogy a lot for non-technical...erm...audiences. I do hope that anyone using this analogy will pair it with loud disclaimers about not anthropomorphizing LLMs; they do not "lie" in any real sense, and I think framing things in those terms can give the impression that you should interpret their output in terms of "trust". The emergent usefulness of LLMs is (currently at least) fundamentally opaque to human understanding and we shouldn't lead people to believe otherwise.

These qualifiers would seem to belie the whole argument. Surely the volume of HFT arbitrage is some large multiple of what would be necessary to provide commercial liquidity with an acceptable spread?
In a distributed system all clients would need to agree on the largest existing gap under various messaging anomalies. If you have a mechanism to reach that agreement then you can probably use a simpler deterministic load balancing algo. Consistent hashing gives you eventually consistent routing without (synchronous) agreement.

This is an expression of personal preference. It is a common preference but not universal.
Maybe you should find the real name and post it as a reply.

In many places you need the former to get the latter.
As a parent of kids with ADHD I've come to believe that it is disabling in two ways: an actual deficit in attention that makes it more difficult to complete tasks AND an incompatibility with an inflexible society.
I see both of these in my kids' experience at school:
The true deficit can be seen in inability to complete schoolwork on time. Sure, homework is artificial, but I have no doubt the same difficulties would apply to - say - planting and harvesting crops on a schedule
The societal incompatibility is seen in relatively benign "behavior issues" like difficulty sitting still. The idea that children should sit at attention for hours seems bizarre unless you accept that school is training an obedient factory/cubical workforce.
