That still doesn’t make the GP make any sense - the fancy places may have an alternative sauce by default so it’s not “dry”, as you note they’ll usually do it anyway by request, and if it’s fancy enough they’re not putting ketchup on by def

Who uses a process per request for serving Python apps? That must be very uncommon. Even if you use a worker pool that isn’t going to restart a whole process just because of an errant exception in a request handler. Also as noted if your wh

The lossless encoded signal is bandwidth limited already - lossy compression has to exploit more sophisticated perceptual phenomena such as masking. Cutting down the bandwidth (lowering the sample rate) wont sound as good as an actual lossy

Sometimes. This is only universally true if your datasets are tiny and your access patterns are simple. Moving a shitty suboptimal O(n^2) or worse algorithm locally when something linear or better is possible is going to hurt no matter wher

Android has been years behind having a framework for low latency audio and it has always struggled with power efficiency.

That should be up to about 300 mph. There is wide variability depending on the structure of the nerve. Even so that maximum is tremendously slow compared to a wire.

Why the arbitrary limitation to the “big providers” - you can get a basic Tello plan with SIM for $5/month prepaid - and they’re a T-mobile MVNO so it’s a T-Mobile number.

No I am fully aware. We used to process credit cards over the AMPS (analog) mobile phone network - and this is also how EKGs were sent by EMTs in that timeframe - prior to that in the 1970s they used a dedicated chunk of 70cm spectrum. The
