I have 5G at my house, I am served by what the provider calls 5G ultra wide band, which is deployed on mm-wave band (28Ghz) and uses phased array technology to implement beam forming, I generally get about 2Gbps on speed tests, but of course through normal activity you can rarely get that to anything on the public net, but to Azure and AWS I can get peaks on certain applications I am working on. The latency variers because of the DRX and cDRX mechanisms but generally I see about 20 - 30ms on start of a flow and 5 - 6 ms during a flow. It will fall back to mid-band (4Ghz) which uses MIMO instead of beam forming due to the longer wavelengths PAA, is not practical, I get around 600Mbps. It will fall back usually on my mobile device even just moving around in the house but the stationary CPE device I have set up is pretty solid. Of course if you connect via Wifi, which I suspect most people would, then you are probably not going to get those speeds but would depend on all the usual wifi caveats.
The service is better than the wired service (from a cableco who is run DOCIS 3.1) that I had before

But nothing I have seen yet is in the 10Gig range.

But TBH, I am not sure how most people would use it anyway, at least not today. Maybe there will be some future use cases but today I am un-convinced that some of the hyped use cases will ever pan out. I have read about things like "Remote Surgery" I cannot see any surgeon getting malpractice insurance to cover that. I have the same skepticism about all the various vehicle anti-collision ideas, it seems to be that DRC (Direct Radio Comm) is the only thing that would make sense, the minute you stick a network behind it you are adding a lot of risk of outages and too much latency, I just don't see where you need more computing power in some MEC (Mobile Edge Cloud) than could be put in a vehicle itself. The only that maybe needs that kind of computing power, throughput and low latency is the AR/VR type application which I think is why people seem to be putting 5G, MEC and Metaverse into the same sentence more often lately. My conclusion is that until there is a killer app, 5G will be perceived as a lot of hype. I do not know if Metaverse will take off or not, time will tell.
Any society where Marxist doctrines came to predominate ended up suffering for it. We can quibble over what you call the USSR, but Marxism is simply a-economical, and causes unimaginable human suffering to the extent that laws are shaped by it.

My guess is it’s because PyQt. AFAIK there’s not a JS binding (or any other language really) for Qt that’s nearly as established and steady. If you’re going with Qt, Python is the most reasonable choice (other than native C++ of course).
Microcell deployment, regardless of whatever protocols they’re using, is part of the “5G” push. If carriers suddenly put one in your front yard [1] what are you going to do, be against technology and progress?

Sorry should have been clearer; conservative positions now tend to be in the minority.
No one has banned religion or prayer in schools. The Supreme Court ruled that public schools requiring the practice of a specific religion by students was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, as public schools are government entities.

Granted, the campaign to ban coerced prayer in schools was led by a famous atheist activist, Madeline Murray O'Hair, but it's difficult for me to see the Supreme Court as more leftist than conservative in its decision making.

I don't know what "firearm education/imagery" refers to, all I could find was a case of a school banning gun imagery on t-shirts, but nothing about banning firearm education. I'd agree with you that this case seems egregious, but I don't see evidence that leftist ideology in particular is responsible. It's not as if the dress code only banned images of guns on shirts because the school board opposes the Second Amendment.

But even conceding that for the sake of argument - it still pales compared to what the right is attempting currently.
I've heard this a lot. I think there are two problems with this. First, you need massive adoption for the "social" part to be at all useful, hence only the few big social platforms can even try it. Second, even at maximum possible adoption, you'll probably run into the problem that actual human social networks have nowhere near enough branching breadth to help rank the behemoth that the web is today, i.e. for most queries and most possible hits, there's not enough signal coming from the social network.
There is read noise from downstream electronics converting photons to electrons, but the "shot noise" is a property of the photon stream and will be present regardless of how much we improve the electronics. Cooling the detector won't help there.

In one sense, yes, but if you live somewhere where energy is expensive why have not only my TV (~30W) on but also the PS5 (~100W+ + ~30W) or gaming PC (~200W+ + ~30W) just so I can watch Netflix?

I'll choose to use the TV's app every time.

I have a higher-end LG 4K OLED with WebOS which is extremely responsive compared to others I've had, also it's rooted to block any ad-crap, but also you can do most of that at the DNS/Network/Router level if you have an issue.

Then there's the fact that the non-tech family members don't want to use more than one remote or fiddle with channels etc, my wife can press the Netflix button in the remote from TV off and have instant Netflix and tue surround sound on too.

Younger me would have agreed with you, but as a parent and husband, in my mid 30s, I just want an easy life.

Not at all.

Pointing out "here are some problems we face" does not mean that other problems don't exist. We can have more than one problem at the same time.

"Catch up" as in making sure that it's compatible with -- and ideally leverages -- those new platform features.

> Blocking kotlin code should benefit immediately.

I'd be remiss if I downplayed the value of that; however, Kotlin Coroutines won't benefit immediately, which is what many people who've invested in the Kotlin ecosystem use for structure concurrency. There's a uncertainty amongst the community whether Loom will complement coroutines or conflict/supersede it.

Why shouldn’t it make sense?

One point of view is that it’s a more efficient way for the tech giants to develop new features. An internal team trying to do greenfield work will inevitably be slowed down by bureaucracy, where a startup can iterate more quickly without all the friction of things like performance reviews, HR exercises, and if I’m being cynical, pesky issues like user data protection frameworks.

It’s risky, but the payoff for founders is significantly larger than what an equivalent employee would get for leading an internal project.

>>I completely disagree. Land ownership should never be perpetual. It should be time limited. Old people own all the land, while young people must buy it from them. That is naturally unjust and forces people to use violence to obtain land. The only sliver natural justice remaining here is the justice of killing "oppressors". If people do not step down from their positions of power voluntarily, then people will force them to step down.

Land ownership does not fit the definition I provided, which in greater context, is:

"a right to appropriate a small portion of abundant natural resources for our own use, when one does this to reconfigure the appropriated matter into a much more valuable form, whether it's reconfiguring an apple into our flesh through digestive/metabolic processes, or a log and stone into a hand axe."

Land is not scarce, and appropriating it is not a case of appropriating only that portion of the matter of the universe which one reconfigures into a value-added form.

So I agree, there can be no natural right to private ownership of land. A land tax, therefore, can be justified, as can other forms of state-intervention over how one may manage it.

Well, the end effect was that your post seemed to concentrate on dissing Kandria, not the way the article went about it (which wasn't the best honestly).

As for games where Lisp was secret sauce, Uncharted series would count, I think ;) It was a return to GOOL-style programming (like in Crash Bandicoot) instead of full engine written in Lisp (like GOAL was for Jak&Dexter), however for narrative-heavy game the tooling used for making that narrative should count as secret weapon.

BTW, a huge underappreciated thing about why Kandria can't fit into less RAM is simple fact that today games generally render at much higher resolutions, and I believe Kandria does have multiple buffers and passes involved (like most game rendering engines these days, though I will have to read Shinmera's paper about shader composition system to verify)
This looks terrible for Europe...

"A senior U.S. official clarified that the promise of 15 bcm this year is actually a commitment to try and help convince companies in Asia or elsewhere that were expecting cargoes this coming winter to agree to send them to Europe instead. That would be a repeat of what happened this past winter, the official said."
Carriers & phone makers need something to talk about for marketing. The iPhone 12 was unremarkable, so they had to lean on 5G as a reason to upgrade. 5G in my experience (latest iPhone 13 Pro on one of the largest US carriers) is broken/underwhelming, so I've turned it off.

I agree that there is a lot of bikeshedding regarding 5G and countless other topics (microservices vs monolith, electron vs native, etc). There are lots of topics that drive heavy user engagement while never answering an actual question.

wonder if it is a coincidence that it is more prevalent in cantonese speaking regions, where the dialect is far more tonal than mandarin due to its use of more tones
Fair enough that your experience doesn't coincide. But I understand an ideolog as something that doesn't value that much experiences or practical elements. And I perceive it's more often than not used as a derrogatory term.

I understand that was not your intention. Still, I judged the article as giving a lot of value to the experiences leading to the conclusions. Anecdotal, sure, but still I wouldn't say it's a good example of an ideolog...
Have you tried Brave Search? It’s not 100% yet but it’s better for many searches. I made it my default and only use Google as secondary now.
You are still being incredibly condescending. The people you mock don’t view themselves as “academically handicapped” and they voted for Trump because they thought he was smart, not because he was rich.

At some point the “academic smarts” have to demonstrate success, otherwise people will rightfully discard them. Decades of constant failure from supposedly elite people in every possible field have lead to a reaction where people just don’t trust them no matter what they claim. Name your issue, and I guarantee someone with very good credentials who was very confident in their advocacy is responsible for its current state.

The problem isn’t that the “proles” are stupid, but rather that the educated aren’t nearly as smart as they think they are. Nearly every person I know who has poor critical thinking skills and accepts the first thing they hear without question is college educated, and there are many conspiracy theories commonly believed by educated people.

I don't think capitalism was at risk of breaking down from the banking fees.
I find that the more senior you become, e.g. the longer you spend on the job, the easier it is to interrupt your work to help a colleague.

Not all are that way though, which can be annoying, but i sincerely hope they can recognize a question only comes up because it is needed to understand the subject.

Tight deadlines or production issues should take precedence though, but other than that you really should try your best to help.
I've never understood how someone had the nerve to trademark "Bollinger bands", when all they are is just a measure of 2 standard deviations from a rolling mean of share price. It's like renaming 1+1=2 after yourself and and trademarking it's use.
You'd think so but practically the signal bleeds across to second-adjacent cells and a real channel plan needs more than that.

Look at how the 3 WiFi channels in 2.4GHz land is nowhere near sufficient for good spatial diversity and it is even a struggle with the 5GHz channels that aren't gated to avoid interference with radar.
I can imagine it takes a month so older backups can cycle out and then don't have to dredge up data they're about to no longer keep on you anyway.
I moved house recently and in a reasonably large suburban area was forced to rely exclusively on tethering with 4g/5g on my iPhone until the fiber could get moved to the new place.

It was a miserable experience. Video calls (wfh) were impossible- laggy and cut out all the time. Several software updates happened that week - at about 1gb average for almost a dozen devices - personal and work MacBooks, and phones for a full family with kids, I burned through my tethering allotment for the month within a week.

Latency with 5g is better than LTE but the best I’ve seen is in the neighborhood of 30ms. I can easily get sub 5ms on fiber. It does make a difference when doing rdp sessions for example.

I get that fixed wireless may work for some but for us it’s a non starter after being used to fast reliable fiber for almost 15 years now.
4G also reuses the frequencies in the exact same way, the primary difference between 3G and 4G is that 3G used CDMA and did not have the higher modulation desities, (capped at QPSK) while 4G LTE went up to 64QAM, so more bits per symbol.

4G did not use spatial separation, that requires beamforming, that is most certainly not deployed in 4G, 4G LTE uses MIMO. Spatial separation is deployed in 5G but only at the mm-wave bands due to the 1/2 wavelength separation required between antenna elements, hence, impractical with longer wavelengths.
I am cranky, not a crank.

The point I was making is that we are incrementally moving towards a pre-determined goal. These are communitarian (anti-individualistic) goals. And yes, I think the Fabian Society exemplifies the slow creep towards totalitarianism. They think in terms of decades and centuries. We do not experience history naturally unfolding - it is guided.

I personally don't see things in terms of socialism, communism. I do see things in terms of collective versus individualistic goals. I think that those who control us do see socialism as a better means of progressing collectivisation/communitarian goals.

What does this mean? It means that if it is deemed that the collectives' goals come at the expense of the individual - this is fine. The collective idea of 'right' is right - law, reason and morality be damned.

And in truth this is where we are heading. Where legal rights suspended in the last 2 years where we were in a 'state of emergency'? Did any medical officials provide legal depositions that were scrutinised and cross examined? The law failed.

Was the populace coerced by the government to undertake experimental vaccines? Is that coercion acceptable? Should governments around the world undertaken the biggest PR and advertising campaign in history to promote a virus and its treatment?

Does it suit any individual to have an ID to enter a supermarket, gain access to education, have a bank account, go to work? What conditions does having an ID come with? Must I be fully vaccinated to function in society?

What is planned and is likely to be played out is tyranny over everyone. You may cheers here and there as causes dear to you gain the treatment from the government you want, but this is not going to end well.

Here are some package counts(http://www.modulecounts.com/) for different platforms:

* npm - (1,916,619)

* Maven - (465,713)

npm has about 2.5 times the number of packages as Maven and NuGet combined; it's not surprising that it has more drama than other ecosystems.

Fair enough. But that argument is a bit subtle.

Going back to the 2 bit input example, if your internal state is 4 bits, you only have 2 bits of entropy.

So outputting the first two bits of your 4 but state is still (probably) valid as far as a hash is concerned, assuming a good enough mixing function.

But at the same time, if you need all 4 bits to adequately continue the hash, then 'hiding' those other two bits will help out.

So it's not so much the truncation, as much as it is the unnecessary expansion and then later truncation steps that's useful for hashing. (Ex: SHA512 truncated to 256 bits is immune to the attack described).

In any case, these attacks are ad-hoc and don't seem to have any pattern. Crypto-experts design against attacks like these. Since there is no pattern, you end up having to study all these attacks and designing against all of them.

Absolutely it infers a direction of causality; unless carefully worded to avoid that implication. That's just how human perception works. Simply saying 'linked' instead of 'causes' isn't enough to dispel the hallucination, and people are typically aware of this when they write such titles.

But even putting causality aside, it also implies something about the direction of the 'join', to use a database term; one is like a left join, the other is like a right join (well, a left join with the order of joined tables reversed).

'Belief of past Covid linked with long covid symptoms' implies that belief of past covid may also be linked to other things, but one of those is long covid symptoms. The visual created is that the belief of past covid may be linked to all sorts of things, one of which is exhibiting long covid symptoms. Those wacky 'past covid believers' are at it again!

'Long covid symptoms linked with belief of covid' implies that long covid symptoms may also be linked to other things, but one of those is belief of past covid. The visual created is that having long covid symptoms may be linked to all sorts of things, one of which is believing you must have had covid in the past causing them. Quite a reasonable assumption.

Therefore the order not only matters in a perceived 'implies causal direction' sense, but also in which direction you place the one-to-many emphasis on.

I wonder how much of the declining search quality can be attributed to the rise of walled gardens and social networks. It probably was a lot easier to index blogs and personal websites back in the day vs. TikTok/Snapchat/etc.. today. It's ironic that Google itself directly contributed to this.
