But HN is also mostly tech biz.

Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from.
Eh, they could've done that without AI for like two decades now. I suppose the drones would crashland in a rather destructive way due to the EMP, which might also fry some of the electronics rendering the drone useless without access to replacement components.
It's a sampler, not a synth.
He uses his own http server called gatling and an LDAP server instead of a database.
Not sure that existed, but how would it work? There were no accounts and IPs are ephemeral.
Not an expert on trademark law, but I think "Threads by Meta" would not work as the main part of that name would still be "Threads", "Meta Threads" could work, but if they'd make the "Meta" part not prominent in the branding then again it would probably be considered as only "Threads".
What's wrong with TPB?
It's absolutely useless, but extremely fast at what it does.
How would those microcells be legal? It's not just that 3G or whatever gets shut down, the frequencies are usually reallocated to something else so you can't legally operate a 3G network on those frequencies anymore.
Frequency isn't that relevant, it's frequency bandwidth. The bit rate is n/T with n being bits per symbol and T symbol duration which itself is 1/B with B being the frequency bandwidth. You want to increase the bit rate you can either increase the number of bits per symbol or increase the frequency bandwith. 5G allows bandwiths up to 400MHz per channel, there isn't enough space in the lower frequency ranges for such large bandwidths, so you go up.
Yes, use C++, but with extern "C" for everything so you can easily interface with other software. That limits you to no classes or namespaces, but internally you can use smart pointers, vectors, maps and actual strings.
Streaming services aren't much better, they regularly didn't have what I wanted to watch and I'm not subscribing to more than one. Now I'm subscribing to none and watch what I want instead of what Netflix has available.
