3GPP has been pushing 5G use cases for years now, trying to come up with a killer requirement than can only be satisified by 5G and a mobile packet core approach. Private networks are one example. There genuinely are cases where wifi doesnt cut it, eg in heavy industrial environments with lots of reflections, signal loss etc. Nokia do good business in this space for example.

Problem 1 is that getting access to spectrum is a pain. And if you are the kind of enterprise prepared to go cellular, you're also the kind of enterprise where your network absolutely needs to work all the time. So your spectrum access needs to be guaranteed, which is not something that you can easily get today (eg CBRS in the US). The alternative is that you get a little chunk from your local mobile operator, but dealing with an MNO is absolutely miserable for enterprises.

Problem 2 is that wifi is not standing still. Wifi 6E and 7 are picking up juicy lessons from the cellular world such as preemptive handover between access points as the client moves around. Wifi chipsets are dirt cheap compared to cellular ones so the cost of devices is lower, and sometimes good enough is better than best.

Problem 3 is that big enterprises like to have consistent BOMs across all operating entities. To my mind, the only bands that can be used on equipment all over the world with no meaningful roadblocks are those that run in the ISM bands, eg the wifi bands and the (?)850Mhz one used by industrial gear. So qualcomm are trying to bring 5G to a new spectrum band that isnt universal and where there is already a cheaper solution. Gonna be an uphill struggle.
One example the article notes is tuna fish.

When I was a kid, tuna and tuna fish were two different things.

Tuna was tuna straight out of the can, with nothing added. After all, the can says tuna right on it.

Tuna fish was tuna mixed with mayonnaise and crunchy things like pickles and celery. It was what today would be called tuna salad.

So if mom asked, "would you like a tuna sandwich for lunch?" we would reply "can we please have a tuna fish sandwich instead?" Because who wants plain tuna in a sandwich?

If she asked if we wanted a tuna salad sandwich, we would be completely confused. Is it a salad or is it a sandwich?
Ok, there are definitely cases where it would be more expensive, like using it for user login data.

But for metrics, like you would use for prometheus:

- Data is usually write-only. There isn't usually any reason to modify the metrics after you have recorded them.

- The bulk of your data isn't going to be used very often. It will probably be processed by monitors/alerts and maybe the most recent data will be shown in dashboard (and that data could be cached on disk or in memory). But most if it is just going to sit there until you need to look at it for an ad-hoc query, and you should probably have an index to reduce how much data you need to read for those.

- This metrics data is very amenable to batching. You do probably want to make recent data available from memory or disk for alerts, dashboards, queries, etc. But for longer term storage it is very reasonable to use chunks of at least several megabytes. If your metrics volume is low enough that you have to use tiny objects, then you probably aren't storing enough to be worried about the cost anyway.
Conlusion: just add some (possibly cooked) flour to your sauce. It's called "singer" in French.

But programmers are LLMs augmented with the ability to run code. It seems odd to add a restriction when testing if an LLM is "as good as" a programmer, because if the LLM knows what it would need to do with the external code, that's just as good.

The authors suggest corn or potato starch, not flour.
There may be a perceptual element to this. Zoom out enough to show you are doing rework, and it may count.

Switching languages like Javascript to Rust looks like staking out a new platform, but zooming out it's wrestling with new programming concepts on a theory-building bus. It wasn't necessarily jumping off the Javascript bus to try the Rust bus. You are staying on the same conceptual bus.

Our erstwhile photographer from the article may have tried a new thing the second time but returned to bus #21 with a different perspective. For they were not a renowned expert already to have learned nothing.

In math, it seems like huge wins come from attacking an unsolved problem with topology or geometry. Or analytic versus simulated techniques.

Maybe one takeaway is to do your own thing, and folks will line up to tell you if someone else is already familiar. Then market research counts for nothing, except to refine the idea you first sweat through, even if it's reinvention (consider it "reproducible results" or "nurturing competition").
But their goals are also kinda opposed, software security with not much concerns paid to freedom.
Yes, it is niche today. I’m hoping for a less phone screen oriented future.
You can always insure them.
Using flour is easier, you can use corn flour also.

Your comment is probably tongue in cheek, but this level of detail is pretty standard for advanced cooking. Serious Eats, Chef Steps or What’s Eating Dan have published loads of recipes backed up by research and accompanied by great graphs.
This is a silly take. I’ve got an iPhone 15 Pro and quite frankly the camera on it is pretty good. But it has severe limitations both on reach and quality which you can’t get around without actually putting some real glass in front of it. A lot of people I speak to when travelling are quite disappointed in what comes out of their phones but naively assume it’s the status quo. And we’re talking flagships with the best cameras there as well. The digital crutch kills a lot of memories.

Show them one shot from a cheap modern mirrorless and the smartphone is over for them. You don’t even need a high end body. And yes you can do a lot on body and yes they integrate with the phone as well. So that doesn’t kill any of those use cases. They augment the situation.

Currently using a Nikon Z50ii + 18-140mm zoom. I don’t change the lens for ref. I shoot JPEG and edit on my phone. Most of the stuff goes on facebook or gets looked at on my Mac. I don’t use LR or shoot raw. The thing literally tethers to my phone.

I understood their example more like: automating the scaling of servers is easy, having proper inputs for this scaling to be reliable is hard.

What they propose is to lend weeks if engineering time to perform analysis in the hope to find some relatable issues.
Are both this engineering time and the issues fixing time relevant for non faang companies?

In other words: The lever effect of not having issues is fewer, so the rentability of such analysis decrease. Where does the rentability become negative?

5G is designed for private spectrum where interference is minimal. I wonder how well it handles interference from other devices on the ISM spectrum.

By the way, there are better WiFi APs. Ruckus’ APs have software configurable antennas that are rather amazing at improving SNR. It works by becoming a semi-directional antenna by choosing an appropriate antenna pattern. This technique is in addition to the 802.11 standard’s beam forming. I have had excellent results with them in my home after keeping the 2.4GHz channels widths at 20MHz and disabling the DFS 5GHz bands.

On the topic of Girard, I've been very attracted to his ideas about the "dynamics" of logic and "communication without understanding". It always appears to me that such ideas and things like the "execution formula" should have profound implications on static analysis of algorithms and things like abstract interpretation and collapsing stacks of interpreters.

Has there been any literature on concrete steps in this direction, or is there anything holding back Girard's theories from practical application (I know that Girard's Geometry of Interaction was supposed to have problems with additives, of which exact implications I do not quite comprehend, which may or may not be relevant)?
I remember when USSR tried to make everything on its soil. It didn't end well.
It's the windows 10 refusenik risk. You can pay for a one year extension. I think this is "if you owe the bank 200 million the bank has a problem" stuff: if Microsoft really do stop issuing fixes for live attacks, that's a huge surface of the internet going zombie/rogue. Every national CERT worldwide will be asking Redmond to revisit the decision.

It's 40% or more of the global surface of Microsoft acquired risk.

Part of the eradication effort was hacking this mechanism by convincing humans to use a closed container of water when this happens. The contaminated water can then be safely disposed thus breaking the cycle.
The fact I even got into this is Joe Armstrong's fault. I was listening to his talk about programming multicores and thought "you know I'm on-board with the actor model across the network, but what's the point of having multiple actors on one machine?" Which lead me down the async rabbithole, which through io_uring ends up reminding me of actors!
This way of working is marketed as such by Chinese manufacturers. They will refer to it as something along the lines of: Made in South East Asia. Sometimes they produce the products in (e.g.) Vietnam, but more often than not, everything is done in China, then shipped to Vietnam for packaging or adding a "Made in Vietnam" label, and shipped out from there. Thailand is another upcoming player in this scheme.

Large companies are well aware of this and happily use their existing Chinese suppliers' SEA entity to avoid sanctions and tarrifs, or to show that they are moving away from having everything Made in China.

To be fair, only gullible or naive people could truly believe that products coming from any part of Asia are not made, controlled, or otherwise influcnced by the Chinese.
Netflix is interesting. The current plans are:

$ 6.99 Standard with ads
$15.46 Standard
$22.99 Premium

The standard plans are 1080p. Premium is 4k UHF + HDR.

The differences between the standard plan and the standard plan with ads, aside from the ads, is that the plan with ads also: (1) only has "most" of the movies and TV shows Netflix, (2) and does not allow purchasing an "extra member" slot.

The difference between the standard and premium plans, besides 4K, is: (1) premium lets you download on 6 devices at once (both standard plans are limited to 2), (2) premium includes spatial audio, and (3) premium lets you purchase up to 2 "extra member" slots.

I'm really curious how many people who do not get Premium go for Standard rather than Standard with ads.

I subscribed a couple days ago, specifically to watch a show that was prematurely cancelled by its original broadcast network (on a cliffhanger!) that Netflix picked up and finished. I figured that since I had watched the first 3 seasons on broadcast TV with ads and don't recall being overly annoyed I could put up with ads for the rest, and I could always switch to a no ads plan if the ads were a problem.

So far, after 5 episodes of just under an hour each...the ads were barely noticeable.

It has shown me 3 ads, each 30 seconds long. They came at points where the was a major scene change so they didn't disrupt the show. They have, so far, been unobtrusive enough that I wouldn't even pay $1 extra to get rid of them, let alone pay more than double.
You are assuming the advertiser has control of the LLM, what's more likely is that businesses will pay a third party with a workforce of 100 workers in a low gdp country to pollute the training data and generate content farms, etc...

Starch is what does the trick, flour contains some too but it’s definitely not easier than adding some maizena
I cited the US congress commission report[1]. It further explained in full report[2].

In short:

1) WIV proposed to modify CoV virus to infect humans in same way as SARS CoV2 using BSL-2 lab to save costs (see screenshot). BSL-2 means that protective masks are not required.

2) No such variation of CoV virus is found in nature.

3) Paper written by Dr. Baric and Dr. Shi which describes how to perform that insertion of furin cleavage sites into SARS CoV.

So, arguments in favor of accidental leak from Chines WIH lab are strong.

However, I'm biased against Russia (it saves lot of time), so I see few more arguments in favor of accidental leak from Chinese «Vector» lab in Koltsevo (Novosibirsk), which then transferred to Wuhan by Wuhan military police after shared military training with Russian military police in Koltsevo, because «Vector» BSL-4 lab had major incident (small bang and fire which broke windows, then doors are broken and equipment is stolen by Russian military looking for a fire) few weeks before that training. Paper with instructions was published, so it was open knowledge, so Russians may tried to reproduce it in preparation to the war.

Getting SIM cards for a private 5G network seems like a pain. eSIM would avoid the need for physical cards on paper, but I wonder if iOS and Android will take eSIMs from a random entity without the cooperation of Apple and Google respectively.

I remember hearing that some conference at some point did its own 4G network with its own SIM cards. They had gotten permission to use licensed spectrum for the duration of the event. Unfortunately, I do not remember which conference. If I did, I would look at what they said about how they got the SIM cards for it.
You know I'm not sure how many io_uring loops you'd need. If any wandering systems programmers around, could you tell us if there's any advantage to having more than one per process?
One interesting aspect of pasta sauces is that the amount of starch they need is usually incompatible with the recommended amount of water to boil the pasta in, and if you use less water, your italian friends are going to complain.

Cheating by adding some starch is the right approach, and works much more reliably.
Equipment is cheaper and better now + the price of electricity / gas is higher.
AU exported ~1.5-2 trillion (lazy chatgpt math) worth of iron ore to PRC in last 20 years... which is life changing sovereign fund size, for Norway (also ~2T), with 5 million people. Or UAE 1 million emraties. Qatar with 300k Qataries. Much less so for 25m OZs. Doesn't mean they haven't squandered what they have, but just to put scale in perspective.

Not to mention PRC steel employs like 3m people, about the entire population of western australia where all the iron ore is. Unless AU dumped 1/5 of their entire workforce, relocate millions of workers and families, they can't make enough finished steel products to fill PRC appetite. I think much easier and profitable for AU to double down on ore extraction and ship more $$$ than finished steel. That's where AU competitive advantage is. Otherwise buyers will look elsewhere, i.e. Brazil could have been expanding iron ore exports much sooner.
Yes, and it's maddeningly detail-free. Just vague claims that something wonderful is being accomplished with zero data or specifics.

Hello! I’m a passionate full-stack engineer currently exploring new opportunities. I have a strong background with more than 3.5 years of experience in developing high-performance, data-driven applications, working in sectors like fintech and enterprise tech, though I’m excited to bring my skills to any industry. I have a proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams, including product, design, and backend engineers, to deliver efficient and scalable solutions. I particularly enjoy building robust data pipelines and creating streamlined, intuitive UIs.
The node.js std lib has had async versions of some of their modules for a while, eg fs/promise[1] I know node.js uses epoll but I am pretty sure bun uses io_uring.

Also worth mentioning Zig has a realy great iouring library[2] right in the stdlib, which without looking up the source code I am guessing is what bun uses under the hood:

In Italy we just add to the pan some of the water in which the pasta was cooked; this is rich in starch due to the cooking process. This works with other recipes as well, for example gricia or aglio olio & peperoncino. I guess that adding flour would produce a texture more similar to gravy and that's not what we're going for in traditional Italian cooking.
Kinda prefer sauces that use flour over those, different mouth feel.
No, i responded to the comment i meant to. I don't think "frayed" is an accurate assesment given the liberal polling numbers are in the toilet and this seems to be the election issue causing that.
As founder of a 15 year micro consultancy I'm nodding along. We've chosen quite deliberately not to grow. I don't want staff or huge wads of cash, I don't want to be rich; I want a gentle, family focused, sustainable, comfortable life. Why grow and face all the stress of growing when I'm perfectly happy with things as they are?

Kagi: I use and pay for it and I love it. I'm very hopeful that they have made something excellent - each time I dip into Google with a !g (and it's becoming more and more rare!) I'm horrified by the clusterfuck it's now become. The clean, simple, accurate results of Kagi are fresh air and well worth paying for.

I've seen the founder say on many occasions that they're not aiming to be "a Google killer" and I'm glad. With scale comes inevitable enshittification. I just hope their business model is enough to support a thriving - but small - business.

In practice it's pretty much impossible to get precise requirements without automatically learning them from how the application performed in the past.

The problem is that it is high-risk to automatically perform those changes since they might affect the application in ways you do not expect.
What we call cornflour in British English, and cornstarch in US English, is flour heavily processed to remove everything except starch, giving a flavourless thickener.

If you use wheat flour you will change the flavour and also add a slight graininess as the flour grains don't completely homogenise.

This reminds me of modern mathematics -- a lot of interesting and useful stuff comes from looking at old concepts from another viewpoint (different way to skin a cat). E.g. "what if we look at our stuffs in hand as elements of group XXX -- we get the whole group theory applicable now" etc. The trick is to note similarities.

So now we can study Actor problems and apply it to io_uring to avoid pitfalls earlier.
