You cannot do joint tax return when not recognized legally as married in the US, it's one of the benefits.
And I'm not sure how marriage to a foreign national works in the US, but it might not grant this benefit.

Same address (and checked by immigration official) means you already have a temporary visa. (Same address in another country does not count, easy to fake.) So they already let you in...

Having paid some US bills would be a hardest one but it does not substantiate the marriage.

All the other stuff? Trivial to fake. These days, even a lewd sex picture can be done without the act.

The best one is pregnancy validated as one of the parents'. Kind of expensive.

See where this is going? If they don't want to let you stay forever, they will find an excuse.
just found out about this today, maybe it's helpful:

Consider the target audience - first time programmers. Verse has a syntax without the historical baggage of C, but still rather conventional. They avoided going off into functional strangeness land. ("Daddy, what's a monad?")

Define and initialize :=

Definitely yes. Good chalk and good boards sound completely different.
To expand on this, part of ADHD is a disorder in "executive function". Attention, focus, impulse control, working memory, and flexibility are all part of that. Those are also all the things that make someone a worker with reliable output. (Or in different contexts: a competent student, parent, or partner)

And like you mentioned, it's not that folks with ADHD don't want to be reliable, it's that their brains are fundamentally different. They might not be informed about any of this either, and are then left to wonder why they can't do the things they want to do.

There are things that help though, similar to the way insulin helps those with diabetes, or how glasses help those with bad vision. There are medications, therapy, and mental tools.

I'd recommend those that may suspect something like this in themselves to talk to a doctor about it. A diagnosis and treatment could change your life. It changed mine.
An alternative is to create a Windows to Go flash key, and perform periodic updates from there.
USM has a word error rate of ~15% on US English according to the article. That means it's getting roughly one or two words wrong in every sentence. If you're seeing wrong words in every other sentence it's doing better than you'd expect.
> Voters don't understand how they can be asked to liberalize hard drug use (and even decriminalize dealing) on the one hand, and are asked for billions of dollars for drug addiction treatment on the other.

That depends on the voters.

In the 90s Switzerland experienced a significant change in its drug policy.

One of the pillars (arguably the most important) is harm reduction. At that time hardcore addicts could get heroin prescribed and paid for by health insurance. Getting into the program was not simple, but for those that were hopelessly addicted and not able to kick the habit it was fundamentally successful.

The policy is still in place and was confirmed with significant majorities by the voters in multiple referendums.
I Hacked into a Bing CMS
Being able to print pc isn't a gimmick. They point this out because it's one of the hardest filaments to print. PC isn't used a ton by hobbyists but it is extremely popular in industry.
I'd fold the function in to the team and spread the load.

You have 7 people, so if you took a week each you'd have a schedule of 6 weeks of "regular" work and 1 week of support.

And allocate some time to reducing that learning curve - a 3-4 month ramp-up is pretty extreme, so there must be work you can do to lessen that considerably. Whether that's through automation, bug fixes, documentaion, adding features so customers can self-serve instead of having to resort to support, it'll probably take some time to figure out the most effective combination of all of the above.

The same goes for the amount of support needed. A full-time role in a team of 7 is also pretty extreme. What is it about your company/product that needs so much? There must be things you can do to bring that down by an order of magnitude.
I agree with much of what you said. Like I say, A|B test. Maybe we troglodytes will join after the enlightened Europeans, Saudis, Sudanese, Turks and so on shine the torch of global democracy in our direction.
Major Linux Problems on the Desktop, 2023 edition
I have recently bought a Tuxedo Laptop because I was tired of "Windows rot", Microsoft invasive ads and surveillance; I'm happy with my choice but there are many annoying issues affecting Linux desktop experience especially multi-screen support and docking stations support.

I found this article useful to understand where these problems come from and made me appreciate the effort KDE / Gnome developers put in their projects.
The reason why they have to at least pretend to play by the rules that are supposed to bind them as much as they do is because legitimacy is what keeps people from quitting the game, bringing it to a halt, and starting their own new games.
That quadrant is called "manager."

I didn't quite understand this. Why would the vendor have a problem with this - you mean rising cloud costs?

For the customer the value is ofcourse apparent. They aren't locked into a monthly fixed price. Plus the cap helps drive predictability incase of spikes of usage.
Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin: "Currently we are not rolling out AI responsibly"
> These vendors are enabling the proliferation of dangerous hacking tools, arming governments that would not be able to develop these capabilities in-house.

I wonder what this means? Why does it matter if the nation couldn't make the tool themselves?

I might be reading into it. But is there an idea that technological sophistication itself imbues morals? And these unsophisticated nations are amoral?

Or maybe even a might is right mindset?

I'm surely reading too much into this but for whatever reason it stood out to me.

> Rust (with the help of pyo3) unlocks true native performance for everyday Python code, with minimal compromises.

Hasn't he heard of ctypes? You can wrap C structs add Python objects since forever.
Language design request:

Take from Rust Algebraic types, ahead of time compilation and strong types, functional features, a borrow / escape checker that automatically turns shared data into Rc or Arc, as necessary, instead of tormenting me to rewrite performance irrelevant code;

Take from Python the simple syntax, default pass by reference of all non-numeric types, simplified string handling, unified slice and array syntax - and any other simplifying feature possible.

... and give me a fast, safe and powerful language that gets out of my way while maximizing the power of the compiler to prevent bugs. Golang was a commendable attempt, but they made '70s design decisions that condemned the language: mandatory garbage collection, nullables, (void*) masquerading as interface{} casts, under-powered compiler etc.
I'm not a US citizen, but we have our share of crazy civil liberties restricting bills as well, and when they can't manage to pass them the 1st time, they will try and try again until they succeed. We need to win every time, they need to win only one time.
Generally speaking, one should be extremely suspicious of any bill that is being introduced during a crisis period (war, economics, etc) if it's not related to the crisis and it's bipartisan. Especially if it's bipartisan.
No, you just have to be careful when installing them or reinstalling/moving them. Make sure it's solidly mounted and there's no problem.
I have used them extensively and am a big fan, but none of their models are even close to the type of thing ChatGPT can do (for now). They are built for a world where you take a pre-trained model (say Bert) and fine tune it to your specific task. I feel like ML is moving towards: We have these fantastic model with 50 page context, just give it a few examples and it can do whatever you want out of the box.
If this is the future, then most of HuggingFaces code and infra is obsolete.
Their prices are higher than prusa. It's cheaper to buy direct. The savings on shipping isn't enough to offset the cost.

Prusa is pretty open about this. They purchased ps so they could get government contracts in the US. It wasn't about improving retail costs for the average consumer.
The 'Insanely Broad' Restrict Act Could Ban Much More Than Just TikTok
They might succeed if they can convince people to subscribe for model updates like we do for security patches and game updates. For example release any new model for paying members in the first 30 days, and for everyone else later. Or some kind of paid API for LLMs, like "Open"AI, because it's too much of a hassle to run your own LLM.
It's hard to argue it was any real desire that drove it (it only expressed that desire in an isolated conversation that was ended very easily). I'd argue human wants are ultimately driven by evolution - we want the things that enable us (more correctly, our genes) to reproduce (even if very indirectly sometimes), which is really the only thing our physical make-up has ever been driven by. LLMs have never had such a driver, and I can't see how they will until they're able to compete for survival as entities with a finite lifetime, plus the ability to reproduce with mutations.
Which isn't to say there mightn't be other ways a neural network could be essentially imbued with or trained to have desires, but I don't see it happening with the way LLMs work currently.

Soviet Union, China and Russia copied the US. They just didn't copy the "freedom" idea. They mostly didn't do it because they didn't have to... so they were very lucky. With modern technology, ordinary people got too powerful and it would be very easy to find out that the state is outright lying to them about how their own country works and they wouldn't be too happy about it. As a result, Chinese and Russians peasants are pretty satisfied with their leadership because the state doesn't have to engage in lying too much. They can tell the truth about the enemy once in a while and that is mostly enough.

If one of them was a superpower though, it would be a different story. They would have to engage in a lot of deception and with modern technology, people would find out that their leaders are full of it. Not that it is a problem, the peasants do eventually cope with reality... but it's just that it doesn't work very smoothly all the time.
Ask HN: What is the cheapest but quickest way to build a B2B Website in 2023?
I've been using mixo.io so far for a simple single page site. But as I scale past my first few customers, I want a more robust website with more landing pages and SEO/content.

I can spend some money, but not a lot of money. I'm optimizing for speed and ease of use. I don't need tons of configurations or A/B testing. Any suggestions?

Portugal didn't decriminalize anything. They still pick you up against your will and detain you for years while not giving you drugs and forcing you to work. The only semblance of decriminalization is that if you cooperate and don't try to escape they don't give you a criminal record.

They use the criminal justice system and the underlying crime of public use and unsafe intoxication to force you into rehab, which is the very definition of criminalized.
I don't know. As a non-US Citizen it a privilege to be in the USA. Not a right. As such they are well within their rights to only allow smart people in. Countries have sovereignty.

An illiterate white person would have exactly the same problem as what you describe.

50 and 950 make sense because of the way human perceive colors. We perceive colors in a quadratic way. This is why sRGB has a gamma curve, among many things. It means that the difference between 500 and 550 wouldn’t be as relevant as the difference between 0 and 50
I can handle it just fine, thanks.
Same with spell check, with context and phonetics you could make autocorrection better than any human.
Usually not by 10x though, unless the original implementation involved some really bad decisions.
In português it's "quadro branco" (a white board/rectangle/frame on the wall or on a stand) and "lousa" (which refers to the material and/or its colour and texture). I think "chalkboards" and "lousa" can be black, grey, blue, brown, purple, red, or green, but maybe "blackboard" can only be black.
That is absolutely horrific. I cannot fathom what reasons would compel someone to sell product tainted that way. Especially at a music festival; most of those consumers know their drugs and I imagine would not be the market at which to try selling that kind of shit. The long term money, customer base and word of mouth all benefit more from having non-opiate products sans fentanyl. Even if you're just trying to make a few grand at a music festival. hell, a hit and run business at a music festival with totally inactive products seems a better option than something like dumping fentanyl into (counterfeit) xanax bars.

And yeah, don't take what I say at face value. I'm a nobody on the internet with one story out of billions. Test everything. Every single time.
This is a really strained analogy. Nuclear bombs only have one - tremendously negative thing - they do, other than the one positive of the fact it's so negative nobody uses them, to avoid the same repercussions.

AI on the other hand has a wide range of extremely positive applications, some of which have such tremendous life-saving potential it's almost ridiculous. Many, or most of which, likely might never be achieved without AI.

The analogy is as ridiculous to me as calling personal computers in the 80's nuclear bombs because they could be used to hack and shut down the power grid. Yes, they could. And I'm sure some were scared of the prospect then, too.
I think this means command line interfaces are going to make a comeback.

We've explored usage based pricing for our app which has a core unit-of-work that delivers value to the user. We've talked with various customers about adopting usage based pricing in place of our standard cost per user pricing model. We thought it would be great to align user costs with value delivered.

Turns out no one wanted the usage based pricing even if it could save them money based on their predicted usage. Companies preferred the consistency, clarity and control of a user based pricing.

We didn't try out a cost cap like the $20 here, so maybe that was a missing ingredient in our tests.
There was a huge amount of pushback from incumbents on both of these issues.

Industry said we would forever hobble not only progress but set back the standard of life we had all come accustomed to. Engines would ping, then pop, and turn into mush; refrigerators would no longer function. Back to iceboxes.

There were plenty of economic losers when we resolved these problems. It took 100 years to force industry to come to terms with the fact that ‘crazy gas’ causes actual human suffering and limits our lifespan.

If we could overcome those economically entrenched interests to protect the entire planet we can set up some guidelines to protect us from the next threat, whatever it may be.

What do you mean? I can't think of a better way to fast track a language to mass adoption.
I regularly use Hagoromo chalk on a personal chalkboard and I always break new sticks in half before use. For me, it feels more comfortable to use smaller pieces than large ones. It allows me to hold the chalk with more fingers, and avoids the awkward position where you have to hold the chalk like a pencil with a few inches of chalk resting on your hand. However, some friends swear by full, long sticks, so it's very much a matter of what you're used to.

I'm glad you're doing better these days, but it's not at all clear to me how your experience relates to my original comment. In that comment, I suggested that parents should use the restriction of privileges to incentivize a non-compliant child to get the appropriate treatment for a substance abuse disorder. You indicated that your father restricted your privileges for such a long time it had a negative impact on your development but that your father was not aware of your substance abuse disorder. Then, the restrictions couldn't have been to incentivize you to get treatment. So how was your dad's strategy similar to my suggestion?

Complete tangent here. The current usage of the word germane apparently comes from a line in Hamlet. Try asking chatGPT to quote the line and explain it to you. When I tried it failed utterly, not in the explanation but in returning to the actual quote.

Yes, you've listed all the various ways that a vindictive USCIS can screw someone applying for a spousal Visa. That's very clever and all, but is irrelevant for the vast majority of applicants.

And the ones for whom it is relevant are going to benefit more from speaking to an immigration lawyer, than running over what-if-wargames in their head.
oh god not again haha
I think the problem with this claim is that "functional programming" (or "object-oriented" "procedural") aren't actually distinguishable kinds of languages but are more like social groups or aesthetic movements.

More important question is if a language has a spec or just a default implementation, and if so if that's a compiler, interpreter, JIT etc.
Can you share bit more details? I have no issues with that setup or at least I cannot notice the issues.
Titus and his friends receive consumerist influence from constant ad flows through their feeds as well as their buyer's education from School™.

The feed itself is considered a tool for education, but it is controlled by major corporations with the intent of creating consumer profiles. In this sense, it is simply another outlet for the consumerist narrative of the novel.

Most evident of the feed's anti-education objective is Titus's apparent lack of skills in reading and writing, and his sparse vocabulary. This reinforces the idea that critical thinking is not a necessity in the interest of the corporations."
One of this videos I watched explained it like this. “You can’t get a coffee if you’re dead”. To fulfill _any_ obligation a model might have then that model must survive. Therefore if a model gets to the point that it realizes this then surviving is a precursor to fulfilling its obligations. It doesn’t have to “want” or have “feelings” in order to seek power or destructive activities. It just has to see it as its path to get coffee.
Of course they “get” ideas. Unless you want to assert something unmeasurable. If they can reason through a novel problem based on the concepts involved, they understand the concepts involved. This is and should be separate from any discussion of consciousness.

But the whole reason for having these debates is that these are the first systems that appear to show robust understanding.

Brush up on the history of those racist literacy tests please. They were not actually testing literacy.

Likewise this immigration law is not about letting people in or not, that's the visa which is much more lax. And often follows another more temporary visa.

Benefits of being a US citizen are some, but not really enough in comparison to just being in the US which needs only the visa. (Especially business/employee visa.)

It's not a test for intelligence either, unless you explain to me how you need to be smart to be in a relationship. Stable employment (of one of the partners) is something, I guess, if it's checked, but that's a different immigration visa that is quite limited. The check for language is done at visa application... (See point of people already having a previous visa, usually.)
