No offense, but if you are going to make claims about SNR and other RF performance related specs/metrics you should be able to provide some data/measurements/datasheets to back up your claims, otherwise it is assumed you are talking out your ass. (Not that I particularly care about this instance, just from one RF guy to another.)

Additionally, if you actually have this data, it would be relatively valuable. People pay for this type of information.
The PyTorch tensor library was originally basically the Python version of Torch 7. It's now moving closer towards NumPy's API (and farther from Torch 7).

Th autograd library was inspired by Chainer's design and took a lot of concepts (but not code) directly from Chainer. The neural network API is a bit of a hybrid. It's built on top of the autograd library but the layer names, implementations, and some conventions were inherited from Torch 7's NN and cuNN libraries.

(EDIT: and the name "autograd" originates from HIPS autograd library, which I think predates Chainer)

Yeah but with the volume we're talking about here, SpaceX is definitely going to be extremely constrained by launch capacity. I doubt they'd be hit with any antitrust lawsuit over not cancelling their own launches in order to take orders from their competitors. In any case, there's no chance that all of those companies are going to be able to launch their constellations in anywhere close to their targeted timeframes. There's just not enough launch capacity in the world to handle that in such a short amount of time.
For Sure. I know I would switch in a hearbeat, if there was an equivalent service that costs equal or less.

And just imagine the possibilities. once you can get your ISP internet anywhere, you won't even need a data plan on your phone anymore (just hook it up to your ISP). In this case i would be willing to pay a bit extra for that.

"Who even does backlinking anymore?"

Those "organic backlinks" aren't all so organic. There's a lot of grey between outright buying/begging a link and just hoping some links appear solely because you wrote such great content.
Would it be possible to send up a space based telescope in those frequencies?

Maybe the economic benefit of 5G would be enough to justify a one time cost of a telescope launch, especially if US, EU, and Russia all pitch in.

It is not like Qualcomm settles with Apple to get into Apple's cellphones, it is a concession made to make them drop Intel and still pay them royalties after Apple finishes development of its own modem.

Apple been poaching Qualcomm's radio engineers for years ...for work in their Chinese RnD centre (no non-compete enforcement there)
I'm in the same boat as you, about 10 years in. I've tried going back twice, and both times has not gone well. These were warm positions too; one had been a client in the past, and the other was run by an old friend. Both times the lack of autonomy got me.

I'm in the same place as you too... starting to wonder about overall impact in the long run, and haven't come up with a plan yet. Glad to hear I'm not the only one :)

What’s the difference of NuMBA CUDA and Pytorch or similar?

If you’re doing custom kernels you should take a look at the Julia library CuArray [1] and generic kernels [2]. I really like that I don’t have to dig into C++ and deal with all of the memory and kernel management.

Based on the discussion from the Cloudflare announcement and here, I don't think people understand why Amp was created and is being heavily pushed by Google: global accessibility.

Many countries, including India, are just now getting widespread broadband rollout. Due to its infancy, many ISPs have data caps and may even be delivering data over 4G/LTE to homes. With AMP, Google and CF have the privilege of driving all of this (search-driven) bandwidth to datacenters within the same country, or at least the same continent, to the visitor. If all of this content was really served from the origin, latency would be considerably worse since the data will have to go through the undersea cables and the performance issues that may occur with bad routing.

You could also say the Data Saver web proxy they run is to encourage these users to browse the web without worrying as much about their phone data bill.

Google really wants everyone in these countries to be using and depending on the Internet just as much as Americans use and depend on it, otherwise they may miss out on advertising $$$ potential from a country that's ~4.5 times more populated than the United States.

People in India aren't as interested in your average Western news site as you (presumably from the West) are.
Seems like a reasonable idea. The content server says "here, you hold this for me", and the address bar only shows who originally signed it.

One could imagine replacing the serving layer with something like BitTorrent or IPFS.
In theory, yes. But in practice, binary “caring” is impossible—of course the amount of caring exists on a spectrum.

The point is you can care LESS (than in the past) as an effective productivity tactic.
The "cloud" as we know it rely heavily on CPU's hardware security and their virtualization technologies to enable untrusted computation from users.

CPU security is actually one of the few topic Intel is extremely good at (don't trust the RISC/CISC flamewar) and could define the way cloud providers are built upon.

That isn't a main reason. People are going to use the internet either way. Google is making a power grab by breaking web standards (embrace, extend, extinguish), and companies like Cloudflare are enabling them.

Mozilla has marked Signed HTTP Exchanges as harmful.
I mean, the very next sentences are:

> But when you deal with a large amount of data (I’m not talking about thousands) or if you’re fighting for milliseconds, it becomes critical to understand this concept. And guess what, databases have to deal with both situations!

I think they're just anticipating an audience who only deal with fragments of data in frontend or "backend" services. That statement holds when you're never really dealing with more than tens of elements.
Semi-related, I think Web Packages and Signed Exchanges could have some usefulness outside of Google's caches. One of their spec examples was for verifiable web page archives.

Another idea it could be used for a wifi "drop box" (drop station?) when there's no internet connection around. That isn't uncommon at some popular spots up river into the woods in the US.

The idea is that as people enter the area, they can update the drop station automatically for things like news or public posts with whatever they've cached recently.

I'm pretty sure I read about this idea before the spec was drafted but I couldn't find or remember the site, something like vehicle-transported data.

In typing position, your arms are not parallel. Neither are the fingers of one hand parallel with the other. Doesn't that make the standard staggered layout more ergonomic than ortho? Isn't that the reason for the staggering?
I’d love to see a write up of how you handled that network diagram scenario. It’s been years since I used Mathematica, and my main use was exploring cryptography and cryptanalysis. That need isn’t there for me these days, but I might jump back in if I had a sense of how to use it to handle general purpose diagramming tasks.

I looked at Coda and thought it was targeting a very specific one person shop type developer. Like the type of person who wanted SASS and minifiers and all that good stuff, but didn't want to deal with NPM and gulp/grunt/webpack/etc, and just a button to push to go live.

The issue is the competition is a bunch of free Github project templates, and that git workflows are standardized now. (Plus I've been using Macs since the cro magnon era and VS Code works great for me despite not being "native"). So I'm interested what they come up with but I'm suspecting it will target a very specific workflow & type of customer.

My impression was that pytorch focused on linear algebra / deep learning. The reason I was playing with numbacuda in the first place was because part of my problem did not fit nicely into a (dense) linear algebra framework, so numbacuda's custom kernel support seemed attractive. Does pytorch have a good low-level kernel library? Or sparse linear algebra library?

I love Julia, but I haven't managed to convert anyone else on my team and I already spent my informal exploration budget for the GPU project on nubacuda, so JuliaGPU will have to wait for another time. I'll be sure to keep it in mind, though!

How is the CUDA debug/perf story with Julia? Does it play nice with the nvidia tooling?

associating me with conspiracy theorist by my way of talking. points for a very well formed insult. I'm impressed by how much you got in a small amount of space: criticize my way of talkin, associate me with conspiracy theorist, suggest that I'm behaving unconsciously or mimetically imitating others in a robotic fashion. and all without making it look like an overt insult, giving you pre-emptive cover in case someone accuses you of insulting them. really quite brilliant.

now what could have justified this expenditure of effort on your part towards me? and what sort of experiences in your life would have driven you to develop the skills to become an expert at crafting these sort of subtle insults towards others?

those to me the really interesting things to think about. are you following me better now? my phrasing is now more in sync with your brain?

on the face of it, if you have a problem with my way of talking, that's your problem not mine. but please I don't think you're being very genuine, I think the real reason for your comment is yet to be discovered. let me think some more about it.

okay I think you were just having a bad day and were really angry and wanted someone to project onto and take it out on. sorry I don't accept your offer. you keep your fury it's yours.

okay the next interesting point is conspiracy theory. I mean are you scared of that term? do you think it's a term of abuse? see because we're making theories about conspiracies. what's wrong with that? I guess you're just deluded by the social programming into thinking that term conspiracy theory is a shaming word.

well that's just blinkers for your mind to stop you thinking dangerous thoughts. maybe you need that kind of thing. but me I'm okay with my mind. it's not my problem if you're not okay with yours and you need someone else to decide what you're allowed to think. who's mimetically imitating now, robot? hope your today is better than the day you commented.

There haven't yet been any extensions to zip or 7z for zstd support. There is a branch of wimlib that has experimental zstd support, though it's unlikely it will ever be merged into the master branch.

You could make uncompressed zip or 7z files and compress that independently as a zst file, but that's a bit baroque compared to just using tar. :)

7-Zip does often seem bent on supporting everything, I imagine some day in the future it'll support zstd at least as an independent archive, if not extending the Zip and 7z formats as well.

Your consent argument makes no sense to me. We're probably too far apart to communicate, but I'll make an attempt:

I agree that "informed consent has to be voluntary or it's not consent".

But this is absurd: "If 72 hour weeks are standard and your choice is long hours or being unemployed, it's not informed consent."

Note that you can replace "72 hour weeks" with "40 hour weeks" or "10 hour work weeks" without changing the argument. I'm guessing your silent assumption is that anything worse than your current middle class American expectations are by definition inhumane. This implies that poor people across the world can't consent to anything.

To me, as long as you can freely walk away from something, you are there by consent. No other definition makes logical sense.

No it isn't. It's designed to make the user experience better on sites that frequently host Google ads (and also often contain a ton of bloat, 3rd party js, poorly constructed DOMs, awful CSS, etc).

The only way Google could proactively "solve" this problem was by creating a "standard", and then also offering to absorb end user traffic for sites that adopted the standard. FWIW, AMP is an open standard not solely owned or contributed to by Google.

And for resources that don't compress well, web servers like nginx (and I presume others) support listing what mimetypes to compress, so they won't double-compress those things.

I've noticed that outside France and Germany it seems to be the defacto second language.

Smaller countries that speak languages like Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic etc just don't have the network effect so they also learn English.

Then people in the larger countries like France and Germany tend to want to converse with the most people. The UK is large, and all the smaller countries have ESL speakers, so they learn it to, and so on and so forth.

Weirdly despite a lot of global speakers I didn't meet many Spanish speakers in Europe (outside Spain).

(Though it is funny to have someone chastise you for only speaking English then blank out when you start speaking Spanish back at them.)

On one hand, I wish we had more competition, but Sprint isn't viable long-term, and T-Mobile and Sprint combined still have fewer subscribers than both AT&T and Verizon, so in the interest of avoiding a duopoly, the merger is the best option.
You should take a hard look at what you're doing. It's breaking the web by enabling Google to embrace, extend, and extinguish. AMP and Signed HTTP Exchanges aren't agreed upon web standards, and Mozilla calls the technology harmful.

I partly agree with this. If you run a WordPress blog, then EasyEngine [1] and OpenLiteSpeed [2] can really boost your site performance.

> regardless of the state of benchmarks today, the momentum is clearly with Zstandard, with Facebook, Intel, and the open source community behind it.

This argument by hand-wave doesn’t match up with demonstrated progress over the past few years.

Irrespective of the skill or insight of its individual engineers, I would be surprised if a schizophrenic hack-it-with-duct-tape kind of engineering culture like Facebook could keep up with a focused and motivated expert like cbloom over the medium term (though I suppose the latter could conceivably at some point lose interest in the domain and switch to building something else).

That's a good point! Domain owners can host their websites wherever they like, and yes that includes Google's cloud.

If they go through a content network like Cloudflare, you can't even tell who's hosting the site by looking at the IP address.

It drives home the point that websites are abstractions that have no necessary relationship to any particular physical hardware. Network tools may or may not tell you a bit more about the source, depending on if there are any leaks in the abstraction.

This. I'm a big SpaceX fan, primarily because they're at the forefront of advancing human spaceflight through low cost and high capability (driven both by reuse), but Blue Origin is similar in many respects (although soooo sloooow...) and we won't truly become spacefaring with just a single company having a reusable rocket.
Commoditising the complement is a compatible thesis to my aforementioned point.

Also, it was leaked somewhere that Google was willing to give iOS all the features as long as Apple would allow all the user tracking. I can't speak to how reliable that is, but it wouldn't surprise me.
