Sure - if you go to other sites Overclockers you'll see this is the suggested route (and has been for years). "Pay your dues" in tech support. I don't know why more people aren't suggested this route - you're paid to do your job rather than paying crazy amounts to risk it through a get-rich-quick-scheme sounding bootcamp.

edit: It might be less sexy to get the A+ cert when you're a teenager and work up from there than to go to a good university and get a CS degree, but we've ended up at the same place but without crazy student debt.
Query things other than data in S3 seems to be the big difference.
at this point these are 2 sides of telecom have nearly evolved to completely separate industries

one services towers on the ground. base stations. maintenance. physical network deployment

the other is the services of running the network. roaming agreements. customer management. internet breakout

tesla and other vehicle makers may see value owning the service side but very unlikely they want to maintain a network
Basically Modern 5G ( allows ) moving most of the compute, controller to the cloud. That is why 5G is much more cost effective from Carrier's POV.

For something truly like WiFi it would be Standalone NR-U ( New Radio Unlicensed ).

I am just wondering if it will ever be cost effective for consumers.
This discussion has been had many times on HN. The conclusion usually comes to 1) start your own subreddit and 2) learn to live with it. Another, much less popular option that I've adopted is just don't use reddit - it's a cesspool.
We were surprised to find at least three Bowhead Whales that are older than Moby Dick. Sperm Whales don't tend to have that kind of life span but it's not out of the question. And we can't say that the story that book was based didn't have roots in some truth.

So, to summarize: there is a non-zero chance that this is a video of Moby Dick. Ha!

There have been several commercial manufacturers of lightfield cameras (Lytro being another one). Which part is patented?

The hardware tech is different too, Raytrix seems to be using a microlens setup (like most other lightfield cameras). A microlens setup also reduces resolution fwiw.
The question is, why those specific things? Surely there's hundreds of other issues not being considered in the book, so telling you which several issues out of hundreds are not considered does not provide much information on what prism the book does use to look at the past. Only telling which ones are considered does that. That's just Information Theory 101.
I wouldn't bet on this! For this, Twitter would have to divulge how many among the say 1000 followers are bots. Also, this is prone to abuse! An unnecessary follow will now be considered spam, and Twitter would have to build toolings to prevent that. It will drive creators out of Twitter. Sharing ad revenue with creators will be an excellent first step
No, the balk happened then, in 2017 AFAIK.

Nothing costs anything for auth.

What's expensive is storage and meaningful actions.

In terms of "easy way to provide auth" … for who? Certainly not end users.

Also, the people who want a "pay per use" web are, shockingly, generally people for whom "pay per use" is financially feasible. That is not the majority of people.
Huh?

This doesn't seem to use AT&T at all, and amazon is actually bringing their own hardware too.

This isn't MVNO-aaS. Its Antenae-aaS.
> What matters is the kinds of jobs and how much of the pie is being distributed, a fact completely left out of their article.

Again, this is not left out. This point is explicitly mentioned.

> Do conservatives care about have an economy that's actually just and equitable?

Yes, that is what the article is arguing for. I am not actually sure that Marx did say this because the notion of justice and equity is inherently subjective. What he said is that capitalism changes the nature of social and cultural relations.

Okay, that is what you have seen, it doesn't make it true because your point of view is: conservative people are bad. If you actually think more carefully about what you are saying, you would understand why this is wrong (conservative thought in the US was founded on the principle of challenging an accountable state, challenging entrenched elites, and creating democracy).
The first vote went in management's favor though.
"overpromises and underdelivers"

Unions didn't waste 20 years designing fins on big-block engines that broke down on the regular.
The term "vector processor" generally refers to a processor with a traditional programming model, but which features a "vector" unit capable of performing operations on large vectors of fixed or variable size. It can occupy the vector unit for a significant amount of cycles.
The RISC-V Vector extension is a good example of what makes a vector processor.

However, and this is a source of confusion, the standard definition is abstract enough so that many other architecture can be called "vector processor".

Regarding modern GPGPU (with SIMT architecture) we are dealing with a programming model named SIMT (Single-Instruction Multiple-Thread) in which the programmer must take into account that there is one code for multiple thread (a block of thread), each instructions will be executed by several "core" simultaneously.

This has implications, the hardware has a limited number of "core" so it must split the block of threads into sub-blocks called wraps (1 wrap = 32 threads on Nvidia machines).
When we offload compute to a GPU we send him several blocks of wrap. And all wraps will be executed progressively, the GPU scheduler's job is to pick a ready wrap, execute one instruction from the wrap, then pick a new wrap and repeat.

This means that wraps from a block have the ability to get out of sync. With a classical vector processor this kind of situation is not possible (or not visible architecturally), it is not possible for a portion of the vector to be 5 instructions ahead for example.
Therefore, GPU includes instructions to resynchronize wraps from a group, while vector processors don't need this. But it also means that you expose much more unintentional dependency between data with a vector processor.
I have nothing in common with the C suite class. And I have seen how reckless this class has acted given the recessions and wars. Nothing.

I guess it depends on the type of hackathon and project. Not to long ago I participated in a hackathon in which we make a super simple video game. Even though the majority of the work was making the game, the 2 hours used in making the scrappiest ever node.js/express server for arcade-style high scores was the most popular feature by far.

So, in that case, being a scrappy backend proved to be very valuable.

Like 3 hours some people realized that they could just POST whatever to the server and the high scores where pointless, but nonetheless, that small backend (20 lines?) proved a very important point

We have zero evidence that the common cold coronas were previously any more deadly than they are now. Zero evidence.

Unfortunately the idea that Covid becomes just another common cold virus can be no more than wishful thinking at this point.

Without vaccines and public health interventions, likely SARS-COV-2 would continue washing through the population, with waning immunity and variants causing endless sickness and death, much as smallpox, polio, measles etc used to before we got a handle on them.

You're right about soliciting feature requests in niche tech forums. Everyone upvotes and agrees with each other that so-and-so must be done. Then when they're asked as individuals to put money down for what they asked for, they go silent.

The iPhone 12 mini, Gaming on Linux, and other examples come to mind. Lots of empty words, no hard cash.
The data should, of course, be made available so anyone can try to verify.

But at the of the day, for the most complicated topics, we will have to trust others.

IF you don't want the union to begin with, you are OK will the union negotiation failing.
I had this exact experience. We had a successful hackathon led by the engineering team where we just built cool things that somewhat aligned with the business.

The "Innovation" team decided we were pushing into their turf and took it over. Then it was decided that requiring actual development wasn't inclusive enough. The next "hackathon" was just a parade of PowerPoint presentations.
To be fair, given recent reproducibility fiasco, social sciences were scorned for a good reason.

The next logical extension of this is: "Front End Developers on Hackathons Are Not needed."

After that, it's "UI/UX Prototype Designers on Hackathons Are Not Needed."

If you want to turn your Hackathon into a Pitchathon, then okay, yes, you don't need any developers or designers of any type, you just need someone with an idea who can communicate that idea. But, that's not really the same thing, is it?
Just because you're good at software doesn't mean you have to view the rest of reality the same way as everyone else who's good at software. This is just one aspect of life. Most people can not be completely divided into two groups, people pick and choose elements that make up their worldview which leads to many variations of belief.
With lightfield cameras, you do actually get several slightly different perspectives. You can imagine it as if there were several pinhole cameras around the (large) front lens element.

Not sure I agree here. 5G offers lower latency and more bandwidth. Also, what I've outlined is just one use case. If we're talking about a port there are multiple layers of operations in which a high speed network could make things move more efficiently. So while 4G might be less expensive it also would only incrementally improve current operations. I would imagine this is the same for other use cases in which there are multiple layers of needed high bandwidth.

We need to distinguish nodes written in Rust vs smart contracts.

Given the context assuming smart contracts you may have a point. Often consensus will be much slower and a limiting factor in execution. Solana may be a bit different here in their efforts to parallelise independent transactions.

High level provable languages always seemed like a good idea to me for smart contracts. As you say Rust doesn't necessarily seem like the sweetspot for this.

The Ethereum EVM assmebly is wildly unsafe but regularly used for the sake of gas and other things that would be impossible (most hilariously string manipulation). Solidity is unsafe with respect to things like overflow. It doesn't have memory unsafety in the traditional sense. Partly because it is allocate only and you don't have to deal with bounds checking yourself.

I listened to a talk, though I may not be able to find it now, about our ability to hear elements of language. They played consonant sounds used in different languages and I could not distinguish between some of them them at all. Apparently if as a child you are not exposed to them by the age of about 4 you will never be able to.

It is driving me mad that I can't remember where I heard it. It would be great if someone knows.

My take: Github Copilot and similar products will replace many google queries in the near future, for code, but also for other specific domains. When I type a query, I'm essentially trying to summarize my context, and I can't compete with an advanced deep learning model that reduces my code to a 300-dimensional context vector. The same is true for a lawyer writing a legal document or a scientist writing an academic paper. Very curious to see the developments in the next few years.
The term hackathon nowadays is almost never related to software development. You can win most "hackathons" with a powerpoint slide, doing actual programming won't win you a price.

What is truly enraging in the story about major music labels and copyright is how they essentially pushed through massive law changes in many countries making breaking copyright crimes (not just civil cases) and going after some file sharers with absolutely outrages claims of lost earnings (and often won).

At the same time they got caught red handed disregarding copyright themselves multiple times (Sony's rootkit which used some linux copyright IIRC, or the case of several major record labels releasing compilation albums of music without artist consent and copyright in Canada are just two examples). By their own calculations used against file shares the damages should have amounted to billions, but they got away with not so much but a slap on the wrist. I wish some judge would have really made an example of some of them.
Which is relevant because?
Their repo is a rare case which embraced git submodules. For some reason they generate a lot of friction and not used often.
So just curious, how does it compare bringing 40 degrees Celsius down to 21 degrees, vs 0 degrees upto 21 degrees. Is heating more energy efficient than cooling? My practical experience has been that AC costs less, than heating a home.

Considering that if anywhere Solor panels could work well, the Dubai desert is near tops for efficiency. This also offsets any deficit. And Dubai also has seasonal temperature variations, winter they are around 29 degrees.
I wouldn't be surprised that the total energy expenditure for a home in Dubai, is less than a home in Northern Canada .

Thanks for the clarifications! I still have questions - there is no "business logic" in my wifi router, so why would there be such a thing in a 5G base station?

What is the analog to a wifi router calling out to a "remote controller" to handle "business logic"?

A base station needs "support services" to function - what are those?

Presumably the complexity of 5G vs Wifi comes from it's cell nature, and the nodes need to know about each other and connected devices to deal with a handoff (which implies at least limited multiplexing). But I don't see why this behavior would require a server-side component and a subscription. Shouldn't the 5G nodes be smart enough to deal with this without phoning home?

I think this is really down to the few companies that have "taken a chance" on a bootcamp grad in the past and are able to see past the lack of experience after one or more good experiences - which feels like something large companies can do more (and more often) than smaller ones.

It's also a product of my inability to really and truly master interview coding challenges and the pressure of whiteboarding. It's absolutely nerve-wracking and I've choked every single time regardless of how well-prepped I was. At a Google on-site, I was asked to traverse a binary search tree on a whiteboard and then, after doing it successfully, I was challenged to do it without recursion and I was unable to reason about how to do it and I choked completely and utterly. The rest of the interview went pretty well, so I would guess that my whiteboarding fail was the main thing that prevented me from getting hired there.

O'Reilly's interview process did not involve whiteboarding or things like trick questions, toy problems or algorithm stuff. It was a straightforward coding challenge and then a fairly low-pressure conversation about my code, the decisions I made and how I might modify what I implemented if I had more time, or was confronted with a specific challenge.

I think if I now were to enter the job market with the experience I have, I hope that I wouldn't be immediately confronted with things in an interview like traversing binary search trees, or implementing a Fisher Yates shuffle on a whiteboard.

Why is it “scummy”? 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? Or do you think workers can’t be trusted to decide what’s in their best interests if exposed to both sides of an issue?

We've restarted doing 2-day hackathons at my work, and in the spirit of being as inclusive as possible for all team members, we don't require teams to submit code at the end.

Some still do though, but in the end we want teams to play to their individual strengths and deliver anything they want that fits the theme.

We do pick themes that are relevant to the business, but there are no other requirements, and we do it over 2 days during working hours (and even provide Doordash and Starbucks cards to the teams for meals and coffee), so there's no "free labour" shenanigans or weekend work.

So far it has been a great success, and I believe we've had much higher participation than if we had stuck to the more traditional definition of a hackathon.
Or because it solves an incentive problem which has kept millions of people with sub par networks to choose from.
