Once again 5G's brand overloading leads to as much confusion as clarification.

Yes, just as with LTE, CBRS is one of the bands (specifically n48) allocated for 5GNR. The GAA tier is pretty open for anyone to use, with all the good & the bad that comes with that. Apple added n48 with the iPhone 11, and a lot of other popular phones support either LTE or 5G on that band.

In effect, CBRS 5G is like WiFi with better range.

It was news to me, literally, but apparently their "romantic" relationship goes back to 2002/2003.

But in general I am quite skeptical of Holmes.

The OpenAI API has davinci-codex, which could probably be trained for refactoring, but it's private beta...

I think this is potentially a great use case, especially "code cleanup" tasks. Train it on several examples of messy code and clean code. I think it would have good results.

I agree, way to many "self improvement" people will try to wake up early without defining a rigid deadline to go to sleep by. If so, it ends up being unsustainable.

I've found that I naturally get very tired by 8:30-9pm and so it works well for my schedule (and then even if I go to bed later, theirs so much leeway between 4am and the time I actually need to start working (7-8am) that I can afford to not put an alarm and always just let my body get it's natural amount of sleep even if it means getting up closer to 5 or 6 once in a while).

Ehhh.. DOS isn't much of an OS-- more of an abstraction layer over hardware. Desqview provided a significant extension by providing multitasking services and abstraction of the display device.

Amusing, but still problematic. Blue check was intended as neutral authentication.

If anything it enables “websites” to be simpler, smaller.

In other threads I've been flamed for the pedantry of conflating prison vs jail. Smart people avoid thinking about the US prison system and will defend their views rather than admitting it's full of hard problems, for which they have no good answers...while criticizing that everyone else is doing it wrong.

Seems to have nailed it.

Here's the result:

Bob went to the store to get apples for his restaurant. He needed to cook food for an important dish. Bob came back home, and cut the apples using a

knife. He needed to cut the apple into pieces, so he could use them to make some tasty food.

Bob cut the apple, and put it inside a pot. He filled the pot with water, and put it on the stove. The stove was hot and started to cook the apple.

I don't think that forcing books to be new and routed through specific, graft-ridden profit centers guarantees that books won't be adulterated at all.

I've felt for a while that a pay-to-post model with a straight chronological feed would solve a lot of the problems of today's social media. I toy with the idea of building it myself.
Yeah, my long term hope for this stuff is that Urbit succeeds and then a lot of the UX here gets fixed by that and all of these apps become redundant and unnecessary. I'm definitely in the minority there but I think there's a future path where that's possible and works well.
Yup, we went with fewer, higher throughput partitions for this exact reason of wanting precise control over partitioning. It's been a blessing and a curse.
You don't have to believe in it yourself but mass advertising and hype through mainstream channels with nearly unlimited marketing budget will convince the masses to buy into it and sooner or later you will be the odd one out and be forced to join into it.

I don't think it exonerates her, whether or not it was written by her, or "evidence" of Balwani's "controlling ways". I think it absolutely portrays her a way in which she wanted to be portrayed for the longest time - ultra motivated, high energy, visionary, driven. I don't necessarily think there's anything inherently wrong in calling it out as looking far more like "the notepad of someone who _wants_ to be thought of in all those ways", as much as the reality. And I say that as someone who is chronically trying to "organize" my life, and getting tripped up on the investments to that end, rather than "putting in the work".

Edit: also, she doesn't get to control the narrative. "Here's evidence of how I lived my life, but you don't get to look at it or talk about it in ways other than I intended" and we are not obligated to stick to the "approved narrative".
Voyeurism galore!
Can you elaborate? I have no idea why a psychologist would care.
I don't think books are where we should be putting up the fight to stop covert communication when prisoners can pass messages in so many different ways. Not with the positive impacts that education in prison can have compared to covert communication that's barely impacted at all by such a ban.

That's a pretty easy one: the e-book readers would be prohibitively expensive, plus those require charging, plus they require tech support.

I'm pretty sure that's not going to fly in your usual for-profit prison system.

Oh, the CEO superman mythos is not just about the early rise-time. That's just part of the story of pure ascetic discipline without any detectable sacrifice along any axis.

In other words, CEOs are better than any and all of us, in every possible way.

The original post that started this thread was:

Agree or disagree, it's an interesting thought exercise that took the original analogy in an interesting direction. Whether or not you agree about it being interesting or useful, it certainly wasn't "arguing the metaphor", just adding to it in a way that you may or may not appreciate.
That’s such a good corollary.
DOS is basically a bootloader program like grub at that point. People tend to forget how primitive it was. Not a whole lot different conceptually than a UEFI environment, but in "real mode" and minus the extended memory access.

Netware was another server OS that reused it. I think even some Linux utils could load it from DOS. Both loaded themselves directly into memory right over DOS if memory serves, because it had no ability to stop you. So yes, an OS, at least the 99% that matters.
You make an interesting point.

Just my 2 cents, but I think that phrasing may come across as harsh. Keeping things civil is a big part of keeping HN's discussions interesting.
Computer programming metaphors being stretched to the point of breaking to justify... banning books in prison.

Personally I think that the "halting problem" of whether to halt sending books to prisoners is better served with informed discussion, and not sad metaphors that attempt to end run around considering the actual issues at play.

Proud to see my hometown quoted in the article.

Back in 2014, my once Chinese girlfriend suffered from Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), was first diagnosed when she was 12, then prescribed by a Chinese hospital a mixture of drugs to take every day without interruption - which appeared to have rendered the disease asleep. Fast forward to her 24th birthday and the disease re-surfaced dramatically. We promptly went to the University of Tours' hospital and had the opportunity to meet with some of the finest rare disease professors.. only to be told that her continued use of the drugs she was prescribed back then actually had to be reduced/stopped progressively as the disease was being controlled.. Instead, the continuous prescriptions significantly damaged her kidneys, and made her sick thyroid dependent and accustomed to the drugs, allowing the disease to come back in full force, in a much more aggressive fashion than before and that it would be now hard to combat. By her 25th birthday, and while we had been able to share unique times of happiness that year during remission phases - flares would make sitting up on her bed and buttoning her shirt nearly impossible due to the constant joint pains / stiffness, fatigue, etc - and her immune system would often turn against her own organs.. eventually pivoting to her brain, causing severe confusion and depression. Shortly thereafter, she took her own life to put an end her own sufferings.

It deeply pains me to witness the US & Chinese health care systems, such tremendous powers with staggering economies, being nowhere near the quality of the free healthcare provided by France - to French citizens and temporary residents alike.

So these are unrelated situations. Justifying banning books or monetary exploitation with FUD like this is exactly the kind of reasoning that leads to the incarceration rates and policies we have in this country.

But that money will be taxed when it's used to pay your electrician. Then, that money will be taxed again when your electrician uses it to buy something from a shop keeper. And then, that money will be taxed again when that shop keeper pays his employee. Then that money will be taxed again when the employee gets his dry cleaning done. There's no law or sensible principle that a dollar should be taxed exactly once in its entire existence.
Are you really using event sourcing, or just message queues?

I worked for a large US bank, and had close contact with those who worked on the asset settlement system. I don't have as deep insight as you do, obviously. But the general architecture you describe sounds very similar. Except they clearly used message queues and treated them as message queues, and not event streams / sourcing / whatever. They used a specific commercial message broker that specializes in low latency.
Let's be honest, how often do people share with their pals about how they commit crimes, or are less than scrupulous, at work, assuming their pals aren't criminals, as well? People tend to keep things like that a secret, even from people that are close to them.

I've always thought the problem with private prisons is that incentives are misaligned. Because the prison companies get paid by the prisoner their incentive is to get more prisoners. Recidivism is like repeat business for them.

If we realigned incentives I think private prisons would make much more sense. For example, what if private prisons were paid a portion of the tax revenue their released prisoners produced? e.g. Inmate X is released, stays out of prison, gets a good job and the private prison he graduated from gets an annual payment of, say, half X's tax revenue so long as he stays out of trouble.

In this model private prisons would be places that focused on getting prisoners to rehabilitate, learn in demand skills, get good jobs, and stay out of prisons in the future. Investors stack the prisons with the staff and resources to produce big profits in the future. Provided recidivism does decrease governments will likely make a profit on it. Prisoners will get better lives out of the deal. Seems like there is potential for wins all around.
I ran both DesqView and DesqView/X and I never saw any performance degradation while running DOS apps. If you ran Windows under it, it would suffer because of the poor (at the time, non-preemptive) scheduler. Windows was/is by its own definition, an "ill behaved" application.
The Nokia 3650 on the list of the ugliest phones? Well, it was not practical and not overly stylish, but OKish IMHO. I gave one to my wife as her first smartphone in 2004 I believe. Not because of the great design, but because the price felt acceptable.

To add a data point, the UK makes available 3.8 to 4.2 GHz spectrum on a local basis (with some transmit power limits), nominally for "verticals" and private networks.

I'm not buying the tribal argument, that I'm the wrong user for Google. The results are shite across the board regardless of tribe.

I think they've accepted that SEO has killed past ranking algorithms and are rebuilding rank from the ground up using ML with the entire internet as guinea pig. All of the crap results we're weeding through now is grist for the ML mill.

I am literally typing exact phrases for content I know is there and not getting the results I should.

I think they've cut the cord with past algorithms, not an incremental update, a major one.

My thinking so doesn't make it so, however, so just my two cents.
What a great point! Regarding the internal language & how it is translated into a language just for you in your mind & then exported as a different language, I've never though about it that way.
I do believe it is possible if you are constantly surrounded by this new language & have that support & encouragement, especially when you make mistake.
