This was a delightful read. Reminded me of my time working on low power FHSS radio gear. We truly take modern wireless technologies for granted!

Thank you very much! I agree, they are incredible! I really had no idea until making this project, and it makes things like cellular phones so astoundingly impressive.

Not sure if being so opinionated about Rust is a good idea, but very cool nonetheless. Looks well done, excited to tire kick it.

Curious how you see this stacking up against things like Pulumi?

Disclaimer: I'm one of the co-founders of Shuttle. Also, I haven't used Pulumi so I don't want to misrepresent it.

However, as far as I understand, Pulumi is an infrastructure _as_ code solution, offering an SDK in various languages which wrap providers enabling you to define your desired infrastructure. In the context of a cloud provider like GCP, this means wrapping the existing GCP primitives and services (i.e. GKE) and enabling you to declare your desired infrastructure in your favourite programming language.

Shuttle is an infrastructure _from_ code solution. The infrastructure that is provisioned for you is defined implicitly by your application's code. Static analysis is done at compile time to figure out what you need implicitly (i.e. if you're using a database connection pool, you probably need a database). Furthermore Shuttle offers its own primitives (i.e. secrets management) without a necessary correspondence to an underlying cloud provider (although there are some, like AWS RDS).

Are you really grand standing against an AI model rn

They are just going where there is money.

I was an early customer of Flexport and got to talk to him on a number of occasions. I felt the same way about him. Total beast.

Your outrage radar is a little too sensitive pal.

You don't see any problem with the "may have"?

I think what OP meant is "if the algorithm were designed (or perhaps implemented) in the 1700s according to standards of fairness held by those in power at that time, then it might have treated African Americans unfairly (despite being an algorithm)". I'm not a mind reader but that seems to make some sense given the context of the discussion.

You don't have to go back to the 1700s to find African Americans being treated poorly by the judicial system.

It's a weird shifting of the sands that isn't necessary to the conversation, when the context is a subject that is causing real harm now.

That supports my point even more.

If certain groups of people are being treated poorly in modern times then an algorithm that sentences people would possibly include that bias as well.

Is that statement offensive to you?

> If certain groups of people are being treated poorly in modern times then an algorithm that sentences people would possibly include that bias as well.

I’d even change the word “would” to “will” as that has already occurred time and again.

I think you two are violently agreeing with one another, but misunderstanding one another as well.

Come on. Plantation era slavery was great! Free housing, free food, a lot of excercise, no Bay Area rent prices.

What's the big deal?

I would be interested in reading your yet-to-be-written post!

In classic HN style, half of the comments have devolved into variations of dEbUgGeR bEtTeR and PrInT bEtTeR...

Newflash! You can do both, and sometimes one is better than the other.

Can you share some examples of high bandwidth 900 radios? In my experience, it’s difficult to get bitrates above ~100kbps on 900 over any meaningful distance.

The Ubiquiti Rocket M900 would be a good place to start.

Or if you have a couple old Ricochet E-radios and want to do some packet hacking, they'll do 1Mbaud at whatever modulation you ask.

I work with industrial grade 900MHz radios, and most can do over 1Mbps... with enough SNR, which as I mentioned can be difficult. I would say a typical ~city sized network I've worked on tend to operate in 100-1000kbps modes, with real world throughputs maxing out at more like 300-400 kbps on typically 1-10 mile links.

Manufacturers include FreeWave, GE MDS, XetaWave, 4RF, and others. These are typically ~$1000 radios, so not great for hobbyist use.

Yeah I’d be very happy to be pointed in the direction of a multiple megabit per second 900 radio. Take my money!

I have the Ubiquiti M900 radios. With a (~5-foot) yagi they definitely deliver the advertized 100mbit/sec.

In addition to Ubiquiti (already mentioned), Motorola (Cambium) also made some PTP and PTMP radios ("Canopy"?) that were quite popular in the WISP community years ago.

I'd be surprised if you can't easily find both on eBay.
