acer-box my take on 5G is it is a health and environment hazard. Aug 13 04:12
acer-boxWhy is mesh not at the forefront? Devices using 802.11 standard seek radio of others to establish a mesh. Backwards compatible and already 2.4GHz and 5GHz delegated and used for these. The load management would be so efficient with meshes that used mobile device radio - dynamic networks that moved with the users. Like scuttlebutt in hardware.Aug 13 04:12

schestowitzI firmly believe that verifiable credentials technology with zero-knowledge proofs being adopted into the legal, law, and forensics industry will reduce these issues by 90%.

schestowitzok, i get what youre saying now. i think.Aug 13 05:25
schestowitzthe answer is that gpu is more parallel than cpu by order of magnitude, and caching exists. i think that should help you out with your question, but its a guess. its possible its all a scam. i dont want gpus to be the future, but they could be. really.Aug 13 05:25

schestowitza lot of us have known about this for some time. i knew a developer from nokia, who still prefers python 2. i prefer it, because it is a simpler language that google hasnt made “more enterprise.” which doesnt mean you cant do enterprise applications with it.Aug 13 05:25

schestowitzpython is a language, but what is being abandoned (no longer updated) is the python foundations python 2 interpreter.Aug 13 05:25
schestowitzi have used pypy-- its a very solid python 2 replacement. its library support (for python 2) is not up to par, my main interest is getting pygame to work with pypy. [note: this is likely to enter the mainstream very soon-- pygame support in pypy, at which point my favourite python project will be fully, rather than mostly compatible with pypy.]Aug 13 05:25

schestowitzthe performance thing is valid but only under certain circumstances.Aug 13 05:25
schestowitzive never written anything that runs faster on pypy. you have to optimise for it-- doesnt mean its useless, but i dont make much of pypy except for compatibility because i dont want people to be disappointed.Aug 13 05:25
schestowitzof course speed IS one of the reasons people like pypy, so its not a bad thing to mention. i just dont because my own experience (i know why) is no speed increase. none. sometimes its marginally slower. a lot of the things i do, the speed is tied to i/o and many people will tell you, code optimisation and many things dont speed up i/o for obvious reasons. i love pypy because i love when coding is pleasurable, and i find python 2 and pypy Aug 13 05:25
schestowitzfar more pleasurable to use than what the python foundation promotes. i also like coffeescript (as a language) better than js-- but i havent used it for anything practical because its one more include.Aug 13 05:25
