Hello Peter,

I am a green card holder approaching my 5-year anniversary. I want to apply for US citizenship and have two questions:

1. I changed my job about six months after becoming a permanent resident. I stayed in the same profession (software engineering). Will I encounter any problems during the naturalization process because I changed my job so quickly after getting my green card?

2. My national passport has expired and I don’t really want to renew it. Is having a valid national passport a requirement for US naturalization? I believe I need to bring all current and expired passports to the interview. However, I would not have any current passports.

Thank you.

I'm looking at news.google.com right now, and I am not finding any summarization being done by Google. Where are you seeing that?
Same thoughts...but the authors definition of "scalability" seems to relate to making employees disposable and enabling cross team collaboration.

Bu that definition Java is probably the best just due to it's presence in teaching and while I prefer python, better threading support ...

but I do look forward to the rise of LOGO!!!

> a business needs to know what kind of data is passing through its networks

a business... without context this appears to be a "free" card for any amount of micromanagement or intra-company snooping.. locks on the cabinets with the cheap coffee in it.. that level of petty.. sure, there are larger objectives but the way this is said, there appear to be no checks and balances.. it could be like a fish-in-a-barrel snooping free-for-all.

The only issues i've had with windows 11 in six months is with an enterprise grade dual 10gbit network card, and even that isn't a windows thing - whenever i join voice chat on discord it completely nukes the network connection with a "No Resources" error from "ping.exe". Discord support threw up their hands and said "reinstall the bleeding edge version or contact the developer support directly here:"

It suffers about the same amount from my setup of dual monitors (as winten and linux) but one is 4k DP and the other FHD HDMI and the hilarity from display scaling (or DPI scaling or whatever), but other than those two thorns i haven't had any issues, and i abuse my computer. my list of available soundcards has a scroll bar on it, for instance. I read, game, and do ML inference on it whenever i use it, and it's been solid.

However, i paid next to nothing for 3 win 11 pro licenses, so my opinion is a bit biased. if i had paid $750 for those licenses (or whatever it costs, it's a free download, michael, how much could it possibly cost) i'd probably have a different opinion about the thorns i experience.

I used to run windows in a qemu VM with GPU and USB passthrough, on gentoo. I'm very used to thorns in computing.

The Friedman functions are sufficiently well known to be in the training set, likely in the form of some csv file from somebody testing other methods on them. Though likely any data set would not share the same x-values. Still, it's surprising performance when we're used to the LLM's getting confused by straightforward math problems and with arithmetic often crippled by the tokenization system.

Interesting that they built their own benchmark and that it primarily features images from vehicles. Tesla overlap?

> ... we are introducing a new benchmark, RealWorldQA. This benchmark is designed to evaluate basic real-world spatial understanding capabilities of multimodal models. While many of the examples in the current benchmark are relatively easy for humans, they often pose a challenge for frontier models.

> The initial release of the RealWorldQA consists of over 700 images, with a question and easily verifiable answer for each image. The dataset consists of anonymized images taken from vehicles, in addition to other real-world images ... RealWorldQA is released under CC BY-ND 4.0.

Will be interesting to see the feedback once someone has a change to look into the dataset (https://data.x.ai/realworldqa.zip).

You can't compare it with a 15" screen because that resolution would have been something like a 20-21 inch screen at typical DPI back then.

Nonetheless, number of buttons left to right is a weird metric to pick considering even leaving DPI unadjusted doesn't leave a big difference in the actual number of separate horizontal clickable zones https://i.imgur.com/dETv7wY.png. Usually whitespace complaints on Ribbon focus on the extra vertical spacing e.g. section names like "Font" or "Alignment" taking a line of space that used to just be the next row of buttons. That I'll say is actually a little larger in the last 27 years, even after DPI adjustments, just, again, not nearly as much as one would expect for the number of times you hear about it - considering said Ribbon design has had the same minor spacing difference for 17 of those 27 years now.

On topic: Warrantless searches are 'needed' to "stem the distribution of fentanyl" the same reason drug use has always been targeted. Here's a quote from one of the progenitors of the idiotic prohibition mindset (in the US at least)

>"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” - Nixon's aide John Ehrlichman

Spoiler alert: They don't give a fuck about drugs or those dying from drugs.

They use the specter of "drugs" just like child abuse and terrorism - as eternal battles that need to be fought. How? By ameliorating the conditions that lead to drug abuse and child abuse and terrorism, like poverty and war?

Of course not, they use them to erode our rights under the guise of protection.
That is what I plan to do when I have to start going back into the office 2 days a week in Summer 2025. Or just find another job that is full-time remote.
I'm rather amazed at the short-sightedness of the highly paid engineers here who don't see the dangers of full remote actually being adopted.

If a company is no longer limited to just hiring people physically nearby, then you're competing for jobs against a whole lot of people who'd accept much lower salaries.

So the best alternative to government regulations is to go back on hundreds of years of economic development and only purchase products you have personally vetted every part of the supply chain for. No one has time for that. Other than Amish people, I don’t know of anyone who lives like that.

And again, this ignores the other two glaring issues I mentioned previously: that individuals are not equipped to properly assess the supply chain; and regulations also protect you from your neighbors’ use of dangerous products.

I think peace is a necessity, like quietly reading a book.

I remember reading about having a healthy life by maintaining boundaries, and the definition went into gray areas that made a lot of sense.

Healthy boundaries are not only about physical or emotional, but also digital, time and even energy boundaries.

It is ok if you don't have enough energy to cook.

It is also ok if you don't want to create and account, sign up for a newsletter or read an advertisement.

Japan has avoided much of the housing issues we have in much in the western world, and in the English-speaking world in particular. Some factors in this is that construction is much more by-right, has sensible zoning, excludes a gnarly community process and is planned centrally instead locally which in combination avoids all issues with NIMBYs and results in a good housing supply.

A great article on zoning to get started on this: https://devonzuegel.com/north-american-vs-japanese-zoning

The strong nuclear force is a figment of the physicists' imaginations. Likewise the weak nuclear force, dark matter and dark energy. The Standard Model does not align with reality nor reality with the mythical Big Bang, hence the need to dream up these unicorns. For some enlightenment, check out Miles Mathis:

http://milesmathis.com/

He may be wrong on some things and maybe he's really the CIA leaking secret info to the rest of us pleebs for whatever reason but a lot of what he says makes scary good sense. Regardless of whether you are convinced, you will come away with the impression that modern physicists are indeed a bunch of whackos who are just going through the motions in exchange for billions of dollars in grants. When they can't get their observations to match their predictions, they just fake it (the Higgs boson).

That's an absurd caricature; just checking in on TV news would have informed you that Japan's legislature has a fairly broad age distribution. Video games have been huge in Japan since the 1970s, and mechanical gambling games like pachinko well before that. I suspect most legislators have had household exposure to videogames, and any under 60 probably played growing up. Likewise Japan went wild for digital cellphones well before smartphones; there's a whole genre of literature called 'text message novels' that started in the early 2000s.

As for this case, the prohibition on selling mod tools/services is certainly to protect the game manufacturers; if there's a perception that it's easy and safe to cheat in the game then players' incentive to spend (whether via microtransactions or future releases) goes way down, and so does the publisher's revenue, and so do tax receipts. I can't help noting that Japan's game industry isn't engaging in mass layoffs over the last few years, suggesting that maybe they know what they're doing.

No manufacturer wants their product utility diluted. After market modifications that add a benefit to the user don't make the product any worse for people without the modification. but in a product which is used by people to compete for social entertainment, modifications absolutely hurt the product because wins and losses are no longer a function of skill.

I get coming on here to correct the record, but why the hostility toward the author when the factually incorrect statement was made to him by someone at VCF? Or are you suggesting he’s lying about what he was told?
The perspective is seeing the law explicitly says said activity is unfair and illegal independent of whether one's ideology agrees said law is reasonable or should exist.

E.g. if there was a 2022 law calling for arrest of those holding ice cream cones upside down because of risk to the sidewalk cleanliness then knowing that gives perspective to why someone was arrested for holding an ice cream cone upside down beyond just a random arrest decision for something one thinks everyone would consider harmless. That doesn't mean it convinces you personally that the law is reasonable and, just that it was indeed an explicitly illegal activity.

I think portability is the #1 factor. It is sort of a Rpi laptop, with the primary benefit being that it is highly customizable for an intended use case.

The reality is that any scenario that has people relying on this type of thing as a "device of last resort" would also most likely obliterate this thing itself. We are talking about a pretty extreme situation, ruggedized laptops would be more practical. And even if the rugged laptop was $10,000, that's a small price to pay for saving the world.
Nobody wants to 2x their monthly mortgage, raise would have to be much higher to make it worth it.
Probably hard to answer but in general what are the tradeoffs between sponsoring non-US-citizen employees to come to the US, versus not and instead simply use a 'global remote' model, that for example the YC company Deel (or even Stripe) enables? Is it more cost effective to continue doing global remote or are there benefits to bringing employees to the US?

It's surprising, but in a weird way it makes sense if you think about it as "learning a pattern" instead of "doing math". The model doesn't have to understand logic as we know it (and this class of models doesn't seem to be able to do that in general), but it does have to be able to learn the pattern somehow, and we already know LLMs can learn patterns from the input context without any fine-tuning.

I'd like to try it on a dataset like Titanic. That might be a more interesting experiment.

Or to avoid training data bias, maybe a completely random dataset generated by some more-sophisticated means, like the scikit-learn data generator which can introduce clusters, irrelevant features, etc.

Were you party to the review of the material or the disposition of it afterwards in your capacity as a warehouse volunteer?

I only ask because you seem to be relaying details with an air of authority but not engaging with important follow-up comments. The posted link mentions "mostly IEEE related" and "few other sets of titles" which I imagine all being behind the IEEE Digital Library paywall. Even if it's just Spectrum and maybe interesting SIG (Special Interest Group) publications, those being made available freely seems like a win? But this is all just my guessing and hope to find some clarification about what happened if we aren't supposed to take the posted link as fact.

Nevertheless, if housing is so affordable in Japan, why are there still people who don't own homes? Can an average McDonalds worker in their 20-ies just go and buy a home easily without applying for a lifetime-long mortgage?

This isn't defined as theft; my comment is to point out that Japan throws resources at policing/prosecuting violations on principle rather than scale of the injury. They are deontologists rather than utilitarians.

Selling cheat devices/services is treated as a kind of unlawful commerce, because Ruining It For Everybody is socially unacceptable there.
