Q: What spectrum does AWS Private 5G support?

By default, AWS Private 5G uses shared spectrum like Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the US.
>Just going by your IFR figures for Covid, without even considering hospitalizations and long term effects, it is certainly not just another common cold for the young.

This is exactly what the numbers support. both diseases have deaths on the order of 1/100,000 inflections for young children.

>Furthermore, we don't know what if any protection childhood infection would give later in life - certainly reinfection in adults is common, with no guarantee that symptoms are less severe.

All of the covid data we have suggests that infection symptoms are less severe if people have immunity from vaccine or prior illness.

>To take any approach that allows the widespread circulation of Covid is reckless at best at this moment, particularly when we do have the tools available to us to control it (mandatory vaccination and targeted lockdowns).

Vaccines and lockdowns can help control the spread, but will never be enough to prevent it from being endemic. Vaccinated individuals can spread the disease and it is in animal populations around the world.
If you ignore the historically loaded proper nouns in that piece, most of the values described are the sort of thing that's typically pretty popular around here. Decentralization, free software, information freedom, etc. It doesn't really have anything to do with the communist parties that come to mind when one hears the word "Communism".

This is a good advice. Also worth to discuss it with a psychologist.

I had fight similar issues. My excuse to stand up is to eat something. Guess how thin I am… Luckily I changed a lot, it was an 8 year long journey which still ongoing. For me what helped is experimenting, e.g. do some small „crime“ -> experience the lack of arising problem / or that the issue can solved. If you never try just fear, The fear just grows.

For me it was especially hard to accept that I just need sometimes to stare out of the window or draw some graphs by hand, which then ends in the bin. So seemingly unproductive stuff… But in reality this is productive, my brain is working and try to process the topic. Furthermore even just an ordinary discussion with some friend can fire the aha moment.

I'm wary of the absolutist tone of this comment, that said, I think the underlying point is reasonable.

Coverage of events is filtered to some degree with a clear dose of editorial bias depending on a variety of factors, this does actually matter. Some degree of independence and oversight on these things would help.

Streaming in particular can provide a huge performance boost for server-side rendered pages. In theory, server-sent events can also provide performance benefits (both in page weight and runtime) by moving more dynamic behavior from the client to the server.

Well, it was all about exploiting the memory management features of the 80386. DesqView was an interface to new hardware architecture that supported multi-tasking the old model, DOS with all it’s memory hacks, exceptionally well. It was a natural for running the hell out of current model, but it was doomed to fail to more sophisticated OS products that would exploit the same power.

DesqView/X was the same product bundled with some very good X server/client components. Think of it as an X client as well as a local system manager running any x86 component.

The shit was really ahead of it’s time.

Edit: Oh, you asked about resource requirements. Yes, and yes. Fortunately, DOS binaries aren’t large, but it’s all relative.

Maybe so. I guess the point is, the concept that different types of resources need different protocols is baked in, rather than picking one type of abstraction and applying it to every type of resource.

Business-driven hackathon doesn't bring joy. Better remove it from my life.
I actually freelanced for a while during college, in parallel to studying CS, before i found local part time employment as a developer.

Admittedly, there's a large amount of project postings that have unclear or unrealistic requirements (feature or estimate wise), almost always you can expect either some outdated or obscure stack in pre-existing codebases/platforms, typically some badly developed WordPress site that you're supposed to fix or use for things that WordPress isn't really suited for (advanced CRUD), you'll almost never find projects with documentation, any sort of a quality control/code review, or even separate test environments.

There are good projects there every now and then too, but be prepared to compete in a race to the bottom price wise, knowing that many of those potential clients shall pick the cheaper developers, which sometimes will result in similar neglect of the codebases, because if you accept multiple projects you only have so much time for each (and the clients won't necessarily know any better). Sometimes the developers are simply in a lower CoL area, but depending on where you live, you'll also have to cope with that, some projects will just be below your living expenses.

I'd probably say that in my limited experience, around 90-95% of the project postings on the site as a web dev were like that at any given time, whereas around 70-80% of the projects that i got to work on weren't satisfactory in regards to how easy or even "safe" the development process and communication was, even if i tried avoiding the red flags for the most part. I got to work for some people that were decent, however the code quality wasn't satisfactory, nor was anything surrounding the code itself.

There are circumstances in which freelancing through them can work, you can also be even more selective with the projects that you undertake, but unless you have a wide variety of skills, you might find yourself missing out on anything reminiscent of a stable income. The best idea would be to somehow manage to find a few good clients and build a longer term business relationship with them, which is probably one of the better outcomes for everyone.
Not at all. Youtube content moderation is not intended for things like content quality, only for egregious breaches of YouTube policy like harassment, abuse, or hate speech.

If a guy in the video says "bend your foot at the ankle all the down until you hear a loud pop and feel something give", then reporting the video will do nothing. Downvoting it will inform other users that this is maybe not a good idea.
I don't really view questionably-liquid stock in your own company, which has run up in value over the past year largely because of QE and other Fed money-pumping, as dollars in the bank.

Elon has a lot of paper money but it's not like he can trade it for $300 billion in potatoes even if the fancy struck him — any time he sells even 10% of his assets, the valuation (and thus the value of the remainder) drops massively.
Projects should have a formatter, and engineers should feel free to format files however they want when checked out, and then format them according to the project format when checking them in. All this about saccades and "code isn't a novel" makes me want to take up carpentry.
There are lots of ways to game proof of stake, and those require special case fixes. If someone can obtain a majority of the stake for a short period and take over the system, that's a big problem. Yet the whole point of much DeFi stuff is to have atomic transactions which involve a big loan, some transaction, and a payoff of the loan.

I think the study referred to is this one: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/5/2931/pdf (there have been a few studies, but that's the only one that fit the “this year” criteria).

I'm generally skeptical of papers that involve correlations with equity returns (because there is a reverse publication bias -- if you find a true source of alpha, your incentive is to trade it rather than publish it). But besides my general a priori skepticism, I don't see any red flags at a glance.

I wonder how this affects nonprofits like Matrix/Element and Signal. What can they do with them? Gangstalk their developers? Coerce big tech to ban them from their appstores?
I think Athena has a lot of value (especially given its pricing), but you're not wrong that it has limitations.

Getting data into Athena isn't something that is just done for you. Athena just takes what you've put on S3 and queries over it - and leaves getting it onto S3 (and into an efficient format) as an exercise for the reader.

Athena's speed varies a lot depending on what format you put things in. Querying over CSVs will mean that you're slow and reading a lot of data. Querying over ORC (column-store) files is pretty quick.

The big thing is Athena's pricing. They price it on how much data you read in reality not how much data would be read if things weren't optimized. BigQuery charges you based on how much data would be read if it weren't optimized. With BigQuery, an integer is always 8 bytes. It doesn't matter if they're able to optimize it down to nothing using RLE (run length encoding). You still pay the full 8 bytes. If your ORC files make that integer column tiny, you get the benefit of that.

BigQuery is great, but Athena's pricing is a lot cheaper given that you get to benefit from any storage optimization you do.

Out of curiosity, how have you used Athena that you're seeing it be so much slower? In my experience, BigQuery is faster (maybe 2x faster), but I've been using column-oriented data with Athena. If you're using CSVs with Athena, it will be way slower than BigQuery.

I'm always a little surprised that AWS doesn't build Athena out more, but I guess if they did they'd want money and margin for the value add. Still, Athena is a pretty decent serverless Presto and Presto can work pretty well over data in column formats.

>The second generation of AWS Nitro SSDs were designed to avoid latency spikes and deliver great I/O performance on real-world workloads. Our benchmarks show instances that use the AWS Nitro SSDs, such as the new Im4gn and Is4gen, deliver 75% lower latency variability than I3 instances, giving you more consistent performance.

Tl;dr: They now have custom SSD firmware that avoid latency spikes.
Allstate reaches $232M deal to sell Northbrook campus
Far too much? IIRC the first version "technically" could run on a 286/2mb but they went to 386 only almost immediately. IIRC 4mb was pretty common by then among anyone who could be using it.
More specifically, most devices will want _4:2:0_ Y'CbCr. It's highly unlikely that FFmpeg gave you anything that's not Y'CbCr (H.264 can technically encode RGB, but I've never ever seen it in use). And if it chooses 4:2:2 or 4:4:4, you get a warning.

FWIW, if you really want to encode your video in Rec. 2020, you'd almost certainly want a 10-bit encode, and then you're outside what e.g. iOS devices will render again. Rec. 709 is the safe choice.

5G has the ability to run on licensed and unlicensed frequencies too. Unlicensed spectrum is highly interfered and is a reason WiFi performs so poorly sometimes. Using licensed spectrum means you control the RF environment and therefore have much better control of network performance.
> Some goods and services are tradeable

Most goods are tradable, and for decades now manufacture of consumer goods relocates relatively quickly in search of low cost labor. This leaves a surplus of workers behind, suppressing wages in industries with low costs of entry--remaining manufacturing but especially non-professional services.

IOW, labor markets are strongly globalized from the perspective of capital. A little less so from the perspective of laborers, though their wages remain stagnant all the same, so in many ways it's a distinction without a difference.
I respectfully disagree. Morals matter. Your point is like saying, "if you don't like the printing press/hydrogen bomb/automobile, then just don't use it.".

YouTube is an integral part of sharing information, and the like/dislike ratio is a crucial yardstick of if the content is trustworthy. 95% of the content is not bullsh*t in my mind, and if it is, then why not have the dislike button anyway?
One response to this problem is to perform mild electronics surgery and install fine copper mesh around anything that looks like it moves electrons as part of its normal function. It really doesn't take a whole lot to completely fuck up an RF signal.

Alternatively, you could maybe do the same to your drywall if you are looking at new home construction... If every room is effectively a faraday cage, you are back in control over what can talk to what on a much more granular level. This clearly creates challenges for your own wireless/mobile signals, but presumably you also have the ability to hardwire additional access points if you are going to this extent.
I did this after 4 years at BigCo. It helped to set a reasonable deadline for when I wanted to hand in my notice, then I worked backward to set milestones for myself (e.g. identify a round of companies of interest by X date, apply by Y date...). I ended up missing my "deadline" by a bit, but it got me off my ass.
> What was the reason to stick on 0.10.0 for so long?

Aforementioned self-packaging, we were mangling the .tar.gz files into .debs, and we had to remember to update the debs and then push them out onto our systems, instead of just using Apt. Thus why Confluent's prebuilt distro helped a lot! But also the team was just _afraid_ of Kafka and didn't want to touch it unnecessarily.

> I see you like Cruise Control in the Confluent Platform, did you try it earlier?

We definitely should have. We tried Datadog's Kafka-kit but found adapting it to use Wavefront or Honeycomb Metrics products was more problematic than it needed to be.

> Tiered storage is slowly coming to FOSS Kafka, hopefully in 3.2.0, thanks to some very nice developers from AirBnB. Credit to the StreamNative team, that FOSS Pulsar has tiered storage built-in.

Yeah, we're glad the rest of the world gets to have it, and also glad we paid upfront for Confluent's enterprise feature version to get us out of the immediate bind we had in 2020. Those EBS/instance storage bills were adding up fast.
Advertising in products is very likely to spread like a pandemic in the future; I believe eventually every capable product will adopt it.

To understand the reason we should think like online advertisers: what product would you endorse, the one that can be used to promote products or the one that cannot? Therefore, it would be understandable that advertisers with strong ties with media sources would use their power to push more in favor of all products, either software or hardware, home appliances, etc. that can be used as business platforms in that context. So it's very possible that everyone in the field has to adapt to avoid being labeled in some circles as "the one we can't use to promote our products/services".

The Thinking Machine: W Ross Ashby and the Homeostat
Guns, Germs, and Steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel) argues that proximity to domesticated animals is a win for all species for immunological reasons.

The general idea is that similar virus strains exist across species, but only a fraction identically spread across species. So a human may be exposed to a similar but noninfectious virus from (for example) a dog or a cat, and will gain an immunological advantage compared to someone living apart from other species, because the human immune system will remember the foreign protein sequences to which it can react when exposed again.
It seems everyone here is confused. Here's the official FAQ, and it has 0 marketing garbage.

https://aws.amazon.com/private5g/faqs/

There's no "telecom as a service", and there's no "5g can be split into multiple networks" nonsense.

Amazon is just selling 5g access points and hardware (just like you would install wifi), and rents you a private connection for that hardware to AWS, and management of that network from AWS. Basically.
No, you in El Salvador you can buy beer from a machine with a cell phone using Chivo, which is a local payment scheme with a centralized ledger that's just denominated in BTC.

You can send money to/from Chivo using Bitcoin; but the settlement of that beer purchase would not involve Bitcoin network at all.

Intel has stopped disclosing a lot of details on their newer products, probably because they're no longer far and away the market leader. I think if AWS ever develops a 4-5 year lead over everyone else we'll see similar disclosures out of them. Facebook publishes a lot of info about Oculus asynchronous reprojection techniques and computer vision because they have a 2/3 marketshare in VR.
People have a fascinating tendency to blindly defend people that are perceived to be rich or academically gifted. I see it very often on Twitter and here on HN.

Considering that this entire article is nothing but some guy’s opinions, I think that a post like the following would be fully germane and on-topic:

“I get the distinct impression that this guy thinks very highly of himself, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a good chunk of his worldview exists solely as a collection of subjective ‘truths’ that serve only to prop up his massive ego.

Some people have an inability to distinguish between the behavior of a smart person and the behavior of a blowhard asshole. This can lead to the very embarrassing tendency to defend or mimic blowhard assholes because they think maybe that they will be perceived as more intelligent by doing so, or even more embarrassingly some folks might actually think that by publicly agreeing with this guy’s ridiculous stances that maybe they’ll get noticed and let into some imaginary Cool Kids Club where they can rub elbows with the Financial Elites.

Neither are really the case. Scott Locklin isn’t going to Kramer into this thread and hire folks that post in agreement with him about COVID or mental health or whatever, nor are the posters defending this stupid asshole[1] coming off as Big Brain Geniuses.

I did not care for this review, and I do not care for his opinions about anything, really. I wasn’t aware that this book existed and the subject matter sounds vaguely interesting, I’ll put it on my maybe list.”

[1] Yes. It’s entirely possible to be good at math and still be an insufferably stupid asshole. That might be the only thing Scott and I agree on, though I suspect that from his perspective that doesn’t apply to him, Mr. Big Brain Genius.
>If the employer chooses to pay their employees to attend meetings where the employer gives their point of view about unions, how is that different from a union spending their own money holding a union meeting to express their views to the employees?

With union meetings, both parties chose to be there. With the work meetings, one side is compelled to be there as part if their work duties.

And yes, they pay them to be there, but that also implies that if they don't listen to what is said at those meetings they'll stop paying them. As most work meetings are about things employees have to do or they'll be fired.
N2 does not use 256b SVE2, though its cousin Neoverse V1 does. I think there's a very real chance that Grav3 is actually V1, not N2. (N2 uses 128b SVE vectors, as does the Cortex-A710 it's based on.)
