It's technically true that a TN may be reviewed at every entry true but I have personally crossed the border dozens of times with TN status and I know of many others that may live in Canada but have a day job in the US. It's a much easier entry vs. tourist/business visas. An H1B may or may not be petition based depending on your citizenship (e.g. for Canadians it's not) and either way any specific trip is either for business or leisure and certainly the immigration officer has authority to deny entry. EDIT: Sorry I misread that as a B1 or B2. H1B is different. Also much harder to get vs. a TN (which is just easy process at the border).
If you allow the capital class to import new workers when the current batch get too “uppity”, why would you expect conditions to improve?

This is happening across society, and I consider it a tragedy the people focused on race and sex have taken all the oxygen out of the room for a much needed discussion on class.

I’d even go so far as to say it’s encouraged (eg, BlockRock ESG) as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy by the capital class.

That kind of technology is still science fiction when it comes to medicine. Any sort of nanoassembly you may read about is for more homogeneous layers of specific materials, not individual organic molecules. There is research into using designed proteins as factories, but that is nascent technology, and far more complex than spool of filament.

Well what we are learning is that we don’t need doctors for the simple stuff. The doctors cap honestly make sense. We have a surplus of generalists who still do not understand the body systematically, so the demand is not there
My problem with iOS autocorrect is that when I type a technical word that it doesn't understand, as soon I hit space and it autocorrects, even if I immediately backspace, the original word is GONE. If someone was dictating something to me and I was transcribing, too bad, I have to ask them to repeat it.

Android will autocorrect but if you immediately backspace, it reverts to the original. I didn't realize how much I relied on this function until it was absent.

That's a complicated questions. With limited exceptions, you would need to leave the U.S. to complete the processing of your green card application and almost certainly need to obtain a waiver of inadmissibility. Again with limited exceptions, you also would need to leave if you wanted a temporary work visa status, such as an O-1, although the required waiver would be easier to get.

They should, but Siri is astonishingly, impossibly bad. It's the worst of the bunch.

LCM's trouble was entirely caused by LCM not being completely spun off with an endowment prior to Paul Allen's untimely death and the inheritance of his estate by his sister Jody.

Jody Allen doesn't care about LCM, so she "shut it down" rather than continue paying for it, but apparently she can't completely shut it down--probably due to how its structure was set up when founded, at least Paul got that right--otherwise I expect she would.

In other words, the problem with LCM was pretty specific to the timing of Paul's death and the shiftiness of his sister, not anything to do with museums for this sort of thing as a class.
I feel like technology could very easily solve this eventually
They have the feature, sure, whether it works properly for the languages you are using is another thing altogether.

Somewhat close languages (french/english) are often not great, and adding CJK with anything other than english to the mix is also a recipe for a bad experience.

It really depends on how much such travel happens in said corporation. I've worked for companies that handled this well and others where they were generally clueless. Most large companies will have immigration lawyers that work with them but usually the trivial business trip doesn't go through a lawyer.

How much and what types of questions you're asked can depend on many factors. Whether the officer had a fight with his wife, your profile, how his day has been going etc. Sometimes it's "have a nice day" and sometimes it's a longer interrogation including secondary inspections.

This is a common misconception that work means having a contract with a US employer. As another example you're not allowed to work remotely for a non-US employer while physically being in the US.
I mean yea, launching a bunch of missiles that you know will never land isnt that bad.
Contrary to sibling replies, it's possible to find.

For example, when these mega enterprises realize they're behind, they undertake "Transformations" or strategic initiatives to "Digitize" this or that.

Look at enterprises that could use your product, see if any are making noises in the press about landing a Transformation Officer or Digital Officer or similar roles. Or work the other way, search for hiring announcements around such titles, and see if the firms hiring them are ones that need you to pull off that change.

Either way, when they land that new leader, then look for hiring announcements for their directs or in their product or technology areas related to what you could help do. If you see they hired from "outside", particularly if they hired from Silicon Valley, the Magnificent 7*, or other "Fast Company" cultures, you may be able to cold contact those new hires (LinkedIn InMail, standard email address formats, etc., there are hustle guides to this step).

Do not form mail at this step. You get one tight clean shot to hook them that you might have a genuine way to help them, it's worth a conversation. Make having that conversation cheap, meaning, offer to make time convenient for them, 30 minutes is fine to just talk to see if your idea fits, etc. They don't want a dog and pony show. Be painless for them to check if you can help. (Note: Be completely unlike Oracle, Salesforce, Snowflake, or any other vendor where if your desired sponsor takes a call or email they'll be hounded by dozens of sales people for months, and that's just to start a 9 month procurement cycle. In contrast, your sponsor guesses a small firm could ship by then, and they wouldn't have to waste time ...)

If what you have could legitimately help them deliver on the Transformation or Digital initiatives' goals, they may get back to you**, because the last thing they need is to deal with even more enterprise vendors, they need some small fast vendors to help them actually put wins on the board.

** I have been that guy, and I have gotten back to small firms. (I also occasionally reach out to startups here.) Peers at similar roles have gotten back to people too. It is much more common to get introduced through VC-hosted field days, senior exec or board room referrals, and the like, but this path can work with enough hustle.
These are not really open source models. They are open weight, which is like sharing an executable instead of the actual source code. You don’t have the things you need to reproduce the model weights. What’s actually needed for these to be open source is the training source code, the training data sets, any applicable pre- or post- processing code, evaluation code, etc.

Although training the actual model is not feasible for people without the funds and hardware, having those things would at least allow the model to be auditable. Otherwise, we really have no idea what these open weight models are doing. They could be biasing themselves in various ways that are invisible but damaging.

Another thing to watch out for is licensing. Only a few models use an actual open source license from OSI (like Apache). Many are using proprietary licenses that reference external terms that can change over time, or limit how you use their model. These restrictions are definitely not in the spirit of open source.

In other words, much of this is “openwashing”, which is a new trend like “greenwashing”.

Anyways, I think it’s great that these models are able to challenge the really big proprietary models like ones from OpenAI or Anthropic. This shows the models are not that interesting or unique, and that the differentiation will come from who has access to training data. That is why Microsoft is scrambling to violate users’ privacy with Copilot agents autolaunched at startup (https://www.pcmag.com/news/microsoft-tests-having-copilot-la...) and why Apple does not let you disable Siri training easily but only one by one for individual apps (https://www.imore.com/how-stop-siri-learning-how-you-use-app...). And that’s also why OpenAI and others seem to be pushing for regulations that restrict AI using excuses like “safety” or “ethics”, when it is really about regulatory capture.
As expected, half of these comments are victim blaming and trying to validate that this isn’t BlueCruise’s fault…and any human would have done the same. At the same time, everyone keeps ignoring the fact that a car, moments before, drove around the vehicle safely.

This is just wrong. The supply is absolutely artificially capped, particularly for positions like surgeons.

Depending on a number of factors, the likely visa options are the E-1 and the O-1 but because of the incident, you likely will need a waiver when you apply for a visa and the waiver process can take anywhere from 3 to 6+ months.
The current average US household has 3.1 members. There’s an important discussion to be had about cost of living and stagnant wages despite productivity, but as I said in another comment: that conversation needs to be factually grounded. Vague reactionary handwringing about the good old days isn’t going to cut it, especially when the good old days weren’t all that great by contemporary standards (or for contemporary American demographics).
These models write code many orders of magnitude faster than an actual junior dev, so depending on one's "LLM foo" and tolerance for the process, it could definitely be worth it.

LLM foo is very much a real thing. They are surprisingly difficult to use well, but can be very powerful.

I feel like your comment is a nitpick. Crap getting broken for whatever reason happens. Having human readable things can be helpful for development or fixing things.

Of course, this isn't always the top priority-- other things, like being able to round-trip non-human readable data, or performance, or data density, may win.

You do not understand how the processing work - the processing dates don’t move in tandem with the calendar days. For instance , by end of 2024 , you’ll find that the priority date has only moved 2 months . So the actual number is somewhere around 100 years at the current gc numbers
I usually "north up" but when navigating, the navigation view gives you more of what's ahead in screen space.

I wish "north up" would do the same; I'm sure it's do-able.
> I have vivid memories of navigating the world without Google Maps and not feeling constantly tethered to a device.

I'd still advise people to navigate without relying on Google or Apple Maps, not for nostalgia or "live in the moment", but because navigation softs are just not optimal[0] most of the time, especially for walking/biking.

Looking at the map and deciding your path yourself, checking only from time to time if you're on the path you chose or to check the landmarks is to me a way better experience.

I wonder if there's OSM apps that let the user draw a route and only notify when they substancialy deviate or at checkpoints they set.

[0] Outside of finding the actual shortest path, you probably have preferences on walking larger or narrower streets, less or more car traffic, better lighting at night, have nearby options to enter a cafe when you need to etc.
> This is a hard-fact - people are resolved to poor sleep quality, or no "real" solutions to improving deep sleep quality

I glanced at your website, and there’s already a product on the market that does the same thing (headband using EEG techniques to provide auditory stimulation based on the same research your site points out): The Philips Smart Sleep https://www.usa.philips.com/c-e/smartsleep/deep-sleep-headba...

So in your case, I’m not sure it’s accurate to say there aren’t any “real” solutions when a major market player has already released a product in the exact space. I think it’s more likely that wearing a headband every night isn’t an attractive proposition for many. That’s an entirely different problem to solve.

That's because `method_missing` isn't the subject of the post. Are you also going to point out that the blog post doesn't mention Eigenclasses or Jim Weirch?

You're just extremely wrong.

In an over-medicated society, this is a disaster. The same people telling you "you need to take X to deal with disease Y. Without X you'll cease to function!" are the same people saying "Gee, don't know why X isn't available, sorry..." Without any sense of irony or self-awareness.

I've been trying to give your comments the benefit of the doubt, but now it's abundantly clear that you're fundamentally unserious about having a conversation grounded in reality.
I would say to you that in the normal case, in general, across all fields - bicycles, clothing, tables, chocolate, holidays, houses, butlers, what-have-you - cost is related to outcome, and this is what would be expected.

In the normal case, I would then think that cost in medicine and medical services would be related to outcome.

To the extent this generalization is true, then when cost is not related to outcome, this is not a normal situation, and then the question would be "why?" - what's going on to make a situation which on the face of it is not normal.

Sure, but no doctors is worse than lower skilled doctors as even lower skilled doctors are better than the average patient self-treatment attempt.

We need doctors who are available to treat simple conditions and refer to a more qualified doctor for the complex ones. Such a job doesn't require being a genius, just people who are not complete idiots, and the qualifications required here are genius-level, not idiotproof-level.
In my technological bottom feeder journey, for a while I had a Blackberry Curve (don't recall model number) that had cost me a kingly $2 at a garage sale.

It was literally curvaceous. Super pleaseant to handle, everything about its design was perfect. Even the default "email arrived" sound was so melodious that I wish I had a sample of it to use on my Android phone now. The only problem was, without BB service, it was unstable. The data connection would just silently "pause" leaving you with no email delivery to the (aftermarket) email client. And the keyboard was miles better than any touchscreen keyboard.

My next find was an old Xperia X1, the one with the slide-out keyboard. That was a neat device, even if WinCE was an awful mobile OS - at least the data connection stayed up and emails got delivered.

After that, Windows Mobile 8 for a while which was actually great. Three technological dead ends before finally going mainstream.
