> You can't really talk both about H1Bs and naturalized citizens at the same time here.

They are closely related. American law sees the H1B as a temporary worker visa, which in theory won’t lead to lots of new naturalized citizens changing the country and the workforce. Indians see the H1B as the first step to permanent immigration and naturalization. The ridiculousness of the H1B process arises from that fundamental conflict.

> But I'll ask you: do you think that naturalized citizens of south asian descent should leave the country?

No—citizenship is citizenship. But citizens get to decide immigration policy in their own self interest. That’s democracy. On a going forward basis, it’s entirely valid to ask how H1Bs are changing the country, and whether the American body politic believes those changes are good or bad. My family came to northern Virginia in an immigration wave that rendered the place unrecognizable. The place where I grew up doesn’t exist anymore. Had you polled Virginians back in 1989 and given them a glimpse of how importing a bunch of foreign elites would change their state, they quite reasonably could think those changes were for the worse.

By the way—this is not a Democrat versus Republican thing. Asians (who used to vote Republican until 2000) played a major role in reshaping the Democratic Party due to their concentrated populations in key states like Virginia. The immigrants who strive to send their kids to work on Wall Street and Silicon Valley are mostly not interested in solidarity with working class people.
Have you heard of the castle doctrine [1]? It's resulted in some really crazy (and imho horrible) situations where private citizens are allowed to use deadly force and literally murder people in cold blood.

> There is NO such thing as hardcore engineer job position that doesn't involve a lot of management

So bizar. I've been in a few companies with senior "hardcore" engineers heads down in code, without management responsibilities.

> If you cannot do this, the industry will just close its doors for you.

Wait what?

A good engineering company will strive for a mix of seniority within teams of ICs. Some of these seniors may become "staff", which usually means, can talk tech stuff to the brass.
What is ELI5?

The idea behind the Transformer is nice - but by far not Nobel prize deserving.

Don't believe the hype or people like Yegge, whoever that is - in a few years a new architecture will be the "Nobel candidate".

Also, the original Transformer paper, if you read is, is horribly written.

> How do these Secretary’s of State and Generals end up on boards like this?

They get jobs on these boards, because the owners of the company want them on the board, because they have friends who can grease the wheels in getting the DOD to buy services from this startup.

It's just plain-old corruption. As long as it's not formally quid-pro-quo, it's not illegal.

> Does Henry Kissinger really have a connection to the modern day FDA to move things along for Theranos?

He probably can't move the FDA, their process is too streamlined and public, and they may be under too much of a microscope, but he almost certainly has friends who can move some less-public/streamlined/visible processes - procurement.
> I'm curious, what actually happens when you're fined some comically large amount of money? Do you just immediately declare bankruptcy and let the courts carve up your assets? Is that usually the end of that or do you still end up having your wages garnished after bankruptcy?

There are so many nice new things in CSS, along with :has() and :nth-last-child there is also :is(), :not() and the new nested syntax. All make working with raw css much more pleasant. No more SASS/LESS, and (hopefully) soon no more PostCSS hopefully!

:is() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:is

:not() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:not

CSS nesting - https://developer.chrome.com/articles/css-nesting/

Interestingly nested css is implemented as a syntactic sugar over :is() in order to achieve the correct specificity.
Oof it's some basic reasoning. I've seen an add for a d a test that can determine missing enzymes.

This triggered brain to make the connection between sibo and enzymes.

Basically: if crbs trigger depression AND it takes 4 days to do so, it has to do something with fermentation.
Bacteria and yeast do fermentation and they can only settle in the long intestine if there is enough to eat.
ergo: I might not be making enough enzymes to get rid of glucose and fructose and after 4 days the ferments get through the gut lining into the bloodstream or whatever and I'm basically hangover for the next few days.

This led me into looking into enzymes to break down sugars, (veggies are secondary concern right now)

At least what I found after 30 mind of googling was that you shouldn't just take them cuz it could be hereditary - that's when I stopped reading and decided to get tested for sibo first.
Agreed on Kissinger and Mattis.

Sam Altman isn’t the answer to regulating artificial intelligence
As you're going to see in this thread everyone wants to turn this into it's own device. Personally I think it's great for field work, I'd like to see a GPS module, lora, and a solar panel.

Given that everyone wants a slightly different hardware customization I'd just like to say I think if you do a version 2 you should seriously consider having some kind of standard expansion cards system. Something like arduino/rpi "shields" of adafruit feather's "wings"?
Ahh, now I see, but why 3, 4 or 5 doses?

I seem to remember having read a document about nasal naloxone where it was suggested one dose, and if there was no response in a few minutes, a second one.

And now that you gave me the lead I found a 2015 article that hints how it may be used without a correct diagnosis:

GraphQL Cursor Connections Specification
"Cursor-based pagination is the most efficient method of paging and should always be used when possible."

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/results

This is a nice spec for implementing cursor based pagination in GQL. My interest was piqued because I had heard of cursor based pagination but only had experience with limit/offset. I suspect maybe that is the case for others. I also just find the specification very clear and well done which makes it beautiful in a weird sort of way.
This is federal prison so it's extremely unlikely she will serve less than 85% of the 11 years. It would take a presidential pardon to change this.
It does look like a lot of shady behavior went on behind the scenes and dropping all the blame on Holmes might be a strategy designed to limit the fallout. The military-industrial contracting angle (which Holmes apparently used as a big selling point to lure in more investors) got set up with help from Theranos board member Jim Mattis, for example:

https://taskandpurpose.com/news/mattis-theranos-questions/

> "Mattis's eagerness to deploy the technology was known and noticed at lower ranks. Near the end of the month, Shoemaker wrote another email to an undisclosed recipient: “The Theranos issue has taken on quite the life of its own within the Army. General Mattis who is the 4-star general in charge of Central Command … wants to see the Theranos device put into Afghanistan."

Of course Mattis claims to have been completely hoodwinked, and didn't intentionally act to mislead the public and investors. Being politically connected probably helped him avoid prosecution, however.

Google's dashcam competitor. My take on dashcam on your phone
Hey guys, I noticed that there's a post on HN regarding Pixel's upcoming dashcam function. I find it odd that while we can post things about big tech's new products, we can't post our own work.

So here is mine, I too made my own dashcam app called DashMap. But unlike Google's implementation, DashMap integrates dashcam with turn-by-turn navigation so that you don't have to switch between apps, it automatically starts recording as soon as you start navigation, or if you're just on a short trip, you can just choose to record without navigation.

You can use the promo code HACKERNEWS within the app to use the app for free for a month.

The app may look barebone, but we have a lot of excited new features coming up. Stay tuned :)

When you train a transformer, you're training what the next expected token is. You can train all positions of the sequence each in parallel rather than having to sequentially build up the memory state as you generate the sequence with an LSTM. Mind you the inference portion of a transformer is still sequentially bottlenecked since you don't know what the output sequence is supposed to be.

smaller companies, and new teams in larger orgs. if you work on an existing system there's less 'interesting' work and more iterative improvement. larger orgs can produce hardcore stuff, it's just usually too large to attribute all of the 'interesting' stuff to one person. a microservice is just a library with infrastructure, not that much different from writing a small part of a 'hardcore' project. also you can start your own project and do something amazing

Here is some data on the toxicity of carfentanil:

> Carfentanil is one of the most potent opioids known. In rats and mice, the LD 50 of carfentanil is 3.39 and 18.75 mg/kg, respectively, after intravenous (IV) administration [1,2]. After intraperitoneal injection, lethality is observed at 326.4 μg/kg in rats and 83.1 μg/kg in ferrets [3, 4]. Signs of carfentanil intoxication including catalepsy, loss of righting reflex, and apnea/respiratory depression are observed at 18.2 and 8.92 μg/kg in rats and ferrets, respectively [3, 4]. The lowest reported lethal inhalation concentration in rats is 300 mg/m 3 [5], while exposure to concentrations as low as 0.4 mg/m 3 for 1 minute induces loss of consciousness in mice [6]. Because carfentanil has no approved human uses, the potency in humans has not been determined. It is estimate to be 100 times more potent than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine, with an estimated lethal dose in humans of 20 μg (0.286 μg/kg) [7]. Data are available from one study in which healthy, non-drug using volunteers were given an IV bolus of 0.019 μg/kg carfentanil; dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and itching were observed [8]

Not much live streaming...but I'd bet that ~every major European war of the past millennium has had quite a bit of combat/cooperate stuff going on. While the "young soldier's view" may be that wars are won and lost in battles, the reality is that any major war is an enormous social, political, and logistical undertaking. And in the end, wars are won and lost in human minds. So all sorts of ridiculous behavior can make perfect sense for a nation at war - because it is aimed at swaying human minds, not at slaying enemy combatants.

I no longer watch TV but at one point I had 7.1 surround sound.

I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily. It's a very barebones thing (in a good way) while also being highly configurable — customizable keyboard shortcuts, menus, scriptability, etc.

It is not a tiling WM. It also doesn't have desktop icons by default. I thought I would miss those, but have found I do not. There are options[2] to add that if you want it.

It also has no file manager. I use xfe[3] on the rare occasions I want that.

So, my setup is ~8 virtual desktops, with very minimal window decoration and task bar. Applications are easily launched via either custom shortcuts or the "right click" menu (though I use the keyboard to trigger it).

I also have a few keyboard shortcuts to position windows manually (eg: WinKey+NumPad key squashes the current window into a N,S,E,W -style location onscreen)

Standard X11 window management (eg: alt+drag to move a window) work as expected, etc.

The author and I experienced School of Rock very differently. Dewey Finn is a bit of a loser at the start, but he's still the coolest guy on screen. All his foils seem overly self-serious and/or very unhappy with their lives. We like Dewey, we don't like Ned (even though we relate to Ned).
