It will also vary greatly once starlink is loaded. The variation you're seeing is purely due to slant range. Those numbers will increase once the satellites are oversubscribed.

That was not a misunderstanding at all. sure, anyone can take a short position. But for the number of outstanding shortage there are, it has to be institutional investors and above. And sure, anyone can close out at a higher position, but t

They are not profitable. They have funding rounds from VCs, and in the future FCC money for RDOF. VC money does not make you profitable.

I'm not sure what world you're living in, but the failure rate so far has been much higher than what Musk has said. Is it bad? They said 1%, it's 5-6%. Should we count the early satellites? Why not? The newer ones haven'

Sure, StarLink may be profitable, especially if they continue to get RDOF funding from the government. I'm skeptical it would be profitable otherwise given the cost of the terminal. I don't believe their launch business will be pr

You asserted they had been profitable since 2008, and this article was almost a decade later (and forward-looking). They are not profitable (enough) with launches.

Everyone else had to play by the same rules until SpaceX doesn't. You say it's fair, but certainly if you were in that industry as a competitor it appears as favoritism. They also lie to push things through, like rate of decay, sp

The point being that people are discussing very high microwave frequencies Here. There is still a ton of spectrum available around 10-25GHz. You don't need 40+ to get that.

No, the point is you aren't allowed to do that. The initial filing for their satellites in the frequencies that they were requesting were for a certain altitudes. Without a brand new filing (not an amendment). They didn't do that.

They are charging more than it costs to launch, but remember they employee thousands of extremely expensive engineers all year, and unless there are new businesses, that business isn't sustainable: https://www.wsj.com/a

They aren't. Not enough to stay in business. See the Bloomberg article from a while back. It's VC and FCC money at the moment.

Shannon limit says nothing about frequency. It's about bandwidth. You can have just as much sodium available at lower frequencies than higher, and in fact, it's usually preferable.

SpaceX absolutely does not follow fcc guidelines. There have been numerous occasions, including changing all their satellites to 550km altitude without getting proper approval where they do it and ask for forgiveness later.

Not true. The antenna itself has a very low scan to keep costs down.

The reason I asked is I did a performance trade-off with a v100 and dual epyc rome with 64 cores, and the v100 won handily for my tasks. That obviously won't always be the case, but in terms of threads you're now comparing 256 to

GPUs do exist with 64+GB of rao, virtually. A dgx2 has distributed memory where you can see the entire 16x32GB of address space backed by nvlink. And that technology is now 3 years old, and it's even higher now.

I agree. I tried wsl2, and while it's nice, it has issues wsl1 didn't have. For instance, networking almost never worked until I applied a common workaround of resetting the ip stack. Wsl1 always worked fine for that. It's ju

I can't begin to imagine how you feel, but stick to it and you'll get some responses. It's not an easy time to find a job, so it's likely nothing to do with you.
