55% of all US unicorns have immigrant founders. 36% of all US unicorns are founded by Indian immigrants alone. No other statistic is needed to validate the value of immigration.
Is there any public info on the alleged kill switch in case of an invasion?
One would think that, but the recent educational attainment surveys (PISA would be an example) show Americans performing well on the whole. There are going to be people from any population that don't learn very much in high school, but overall, Americans are a well-educated lot of people.

Spending on education is at fairly high levels (for example, some major cities spend over $20,000 per student per year), with surprisingly little impact on results versus districts that spend a lot less. I would say that the public as a whole is willing to spend on taxes for schools, too. I see tax increases for schools generally passing at the local level plus more spending at both the state and federal level going through. There may be a lot of room for discussion about /how/ that money is being spent.

I think the built-in keyboard idea had run its course, so any possible Apple IV would probably end up looking a lot like an Apple IIgs. The little keyboard extension on the IIgs case is kind of reminiscent of the Apple ///.

It would have been good to end the line with what was planned for the Mark Twain, internal floppy and hard disks would have made the whole system a lot better. And of course if we could have got a 14 MHz 65C816 as well then it would have been a really interesting system.
Wait. So who is Terraform for?
The whole system is corrupt and overpriced. Hospitals, insurers, PBM and many others make a lot of profit by ripping off patients.
You can live a good life in America with very little education. What incentive is there for students and parents to demand better? It's the same reason our college campuses look like theme parks.

It is very hard to immigrate into the U.S. if you're a skilled worker. The system is almost nonsensical.

There are annual H1B lotteries (with a small chance of winning). There are L1's requiring you to work abroad in an American company for at least a year before applying. And none of those visas get you residency — it is a wholly separate process taking many years and a huge amount of paperwork, during which you live in a constant fear of losing your job and subsequent deportation if you can't find a new employer ready to sponsor your visa immediately. And for L1 you can't even switch employers which leads to a possible exploitation of a worker.

There are often huge wait times in U.S. embassies, you can't just go there and get a visa in a week or so — often you need to wait for many months for your interview.

And a cherry on top — specifically for technology workers, there is an "administrative processing" step in obtaining a visa. Basically, if you have a STEM degree, it triggers an additional security check (U.S. will automatically imply that you're a spy). It is a check that has no SLA on completion time — I know people who waited for many years (!) for that "administrative processing" to finish. What employer will wait for multiple years until every three-letter agency approves your case? It is madness, yet, it is the norm.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Alert_List

And yet, the U.S. lets millions of people across the border with absolutely no paperwork, no security checks — it is actually 10x easier to just walk through the border than try to get to the U.S. legally even if you're a high-profile engineer or a scientist. It's a clown show.
I'm not sure Medicaid is a great example.

Our clinic wouldnt be sustainable under Medicaid. For 1 hour of Physical Therapy doctor services, it pays $40-$55.

I'm not sure how to pay for the building, note software, or scheduling.
> Every year I find a mistake in at least one bank statement. And it's always in the bank's favor. Sometimes it's a few cents, but once it was a few hundred dollars across multiple errors.

How much time have you spent on this overall compared to the amount of money you saved by noticing these errors? I certainly don't think it's fair for banks to get away with this, but I'm not convinced that tracking things at that level of detail would be worth it for most people

I also worry about making sure my children are socialised around average and, yes, some below-average children, and some unmotivated ones, too. I'm not sure growing up in a "bubble" of only the bright and motivated is the healthiest social approach. It's valuable to go to school with people who don't look like you and think the same way you do.

I'm allergic to business books, but I think a flywheel is a better metaphor by a mile. A flywheel is a tangible object that everyone has interacted with at some point. They're fun and satisfying to spin up to high speed. They are associated with engines and electricity. In contrast, inertia is an abstract concept. It's popularly associated with dead weight. It makes you think of heavy rocks and ships that are too large to maneuver quickly. It's not at all fun.
they are great, but only seen them in my front yard, and abroad.
US Healthcare is no free market.

Physicians control the supply through the AMA's child organization: ACGME.

The ACGME is private, unelected, and decides how many new doctors we get every year.

They even have the nerve to claim the limit is because they need Tax dollars to pay for their own grad school.
> Which pales in comparison to the English education immigrants need but never receive.

???

So people can travel half the world and fill all the paperwork to immigrate to the US but somehow then can't register to a language class? At some point we should stop blaming society for laziness of individuals. It never has been that easy to learn languages (esp. English) and for free thanks to the internet.
It's amazing how the USA can deflect immigrants to Canada, and still have housing problems.
The other comment under mine replied for me. Also, something is false until evidence is provided, not the opposite. In this case, I'm very confident that the post is creative writing.
So you're telling me that people who go through the trouble of leaving their home country and going through a grueling process to emigrate to a new one are not typically very lazy?

Wow! Thanks again, Harvard, you truly are pushing on the boundaries of human knowledge over there.

It's nice having management built sure. But it feels like it's a set of expectations that's only ever going to work on certain machines, and is going to change over time probably, and will require setting up each device.

The nice thing about virtual kvm's is once you can network to it, it ideally should make it easy to control any device. Not just specific ones you've already setup for control.

I did not know that and will investigate. Thanks!
I suspect it would be faster for many people to migrate to Canada, attain citizenship, and then take the much easier NAFTA (USMCA?) visa path if they want to be in the United States. Although it looks like many migrants to Canada just end up deciding to stay there.

30 years ago, this was a popular path for people from Australia who wanted to get to America, using Canada as a stepping stone.

This is one of 3rd rail of US Tech Workers so stepping into it is fun.

This is discussing recent comment made by Donald Trump: “You graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card [permanent residence in the United States].” and wondering why United States doesn't do this compared to many other countries who have similar programs.

On one hand, United States educates a ton of foreigners, some of them with extremely advanced Degrees, then kicks them out of the country. This seems counterproductive to growing US economy.

On other hand, many in Tech Sector have seen recent layoffs, H-1B hiring to replace workers and offshore outsourcing and see such a proposal as a threat to their livelihood. Tech is still good sector to make a decent living in despite many companies' desperate attempts to reduce the cost.

As US Tech Worker, I think I would oppose such systems where "Visa handed to all graduate degree holders" since I think schools would just create graduate programs to increase enrollment regardless of if those programs actually contributed great candidates or not.
I agree. There is an additional quality here as well: Inertia doesn't care whether there is one big push or many little pushes. With the flywheel analogy, it's clear that it's not just one big push. That's what they are trying to convey in the business context. There is no one moment of transformation.
Another fascinating contrast like this was presented in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRFnGnJzRJQ

Almost completely irrelevant, but I was astonished one day as I walked through the outskirts of Dallas: there was a yard nearly at eye level with a retaining wall, and the grass was overflowing with snails.

I don’t know how many times in my life I’ve actually seen a snail outside of water, it’s very rare for me, but this was effectively an infestation. Surreal.
To be fair, they don't claim they do free software. In fact they are explicitly against the FOSS movement as they say it supports the "oligopoly".

They use the term "open source" because the sources are available, but because of their disagreement with the OSI, they prefer "source first".

Their license is a proprietary, source-available, "donation-ware" type licence.

It is not my thing, but it is their work, they get to set the rules.
> After losing a key member of a team, perhaps the survivors find they have other priorities in life than trying to file for lots of patents. This seems like a rather obvious confounding factor.

Exactly, seems pretty disingenuous to measure grieving people's productivity and compare based on whether they're grieving the death of a native or immigrant.
Another problem is the propensity for Congress to want to do "immigration reform" as a giant omnibus action. The discourse inevitably gets bogged down in mudslinging over the southern border, and any useful discussion over topics like this gets lost in the noise.
Dylan Beattie talked about this exact thing at NDC this year. https://youtu.be/By4Gb1RKZpU?t=1428. Timestamp included. The entire talk is very good though.
Isn't it the same thing as a SPA or any other WASM? The only real difference now is that it is now accepted and the browsers assist with cross platform APIs (and some security) instead of pure Windows APIs. (Ok, so I made it a bit more simple than it is, but that is how I see it.)

This seems to be a common theme with coroutines, the idea that it's solving a problem that can't be solved any other way (except for how it's been solved in the ten thousand other games over the last 40 years).

For CPU bound work loads, pretty low, but not low enough that it's free (~5%).

For devices (especially latency sensitive workloads), it's quite bad. Device accesses have to be bounce-buffered. You can't do anything vaguely zero copy, since the device can't DMA to or from the VM. Future hardware support will mitigate that (mutually attested VM/Device interactions), but no real world devices support it yet.
They do and it appears to work really well (I have only experimented with it.)
There’s an interesting wrinkle to this. There’s a faculty called Prefrontal Synthesis that children learn from language early on, which enables them to compose recursive and hierarchical linguistic structures. This also enables them to reason about physical tasks in the sane way. Children that don’t learn this by a certain age (I think about 5) can never learn it. The most common case is deaf children that never learn a ‘proper’ sign language early enough.

So you’re right, and children pick this up very quickly. I think Chomsky was definitely right that our brains are wired for grammar. Nevertheless there is a window of plasticity in young childhood to pick up certain capabilities, which still need to be learned, or activated.
PyTorch is a generationally important project. I've never seen a tool that is so inline with how researchers learn and internalize a subject. Teaching Machine Learning before and after its adoption has been a completely different experience. Never can be said enough how cool it is that Meta fosters and supports it.

Viva PyTorch! (Jax rocks too)
I think the biggest reason why America depends so heavily on foreign talent is culture. America is culturally a country of middlemen. Being a middleman (such as an administrator, a lawyer, a consultant, or many roles in finance) is more lucrative than doing fundamental work, and the social status of middlemen is higher. Too many Americans become middlemen, and then they hire foreign talent to do the actual work.
Just curious, which local models?
Fun joke but Anaconda has a track record of creating OSS and then turning it over to community governance. This includes the conda tool itself, libraries like bokeh, dask, numba, jupyterlab, and many more. And while PyScript project governance isn't in NumFOCUS, all of the code is permissively-licensed BSD/MIT.

The commercial licenses for the products and commercial repository is what supports all of this OSS development work.

OpenWRT has procd instead of systemd, but it does source a library of shell functions and run [somewhat haphazard] /etc/init.d scripts instead of parsing systemd unit configuration files to eliminate shell scripting errors when spawning processes as root.

Systemd is great for many applications.

Alternatives to systemd:
https://without-systemd.org/wiki/index_php/Alternatives_to_s...

There are advantages to systemd unit files instead of scripts. Porting packages between distros is less work with unit files. Systemd respawns processes consistently and with standard retry/backoff functionality. Systemd+journals produces indexable logs with consistent datetimes.

There's a pypi:SystemdUnitParser.

This happened to me with Umpqua Bank. They offered a money market account that sounded great. I basically forgot about it, and checked my statement one day to find it earning 0.05%. Not 5%, 1/100th of that.

My fault for not being diligent. Missed out on a lot of interest earnings as a result.

Edit: I have since moved all of my banking business to a local credit union and closed mine and my kids' Umpqua accounts, and opened a Schwab account for better interest earnings from their money market fund offering.
Nothing is even theoretically better than Javascript for its intended use cases, web frontends and backends. Mainly because it went all-in on event loop parallelism early-on, which isn't just for usability but also performance. And didn't go all-in on OOP unlike Java, and has easy imports/packages unlike Python. It has some quirks like the "0 trinity," but that doesn't really matter. No matter how good you are with something else, it still takes more dev time ($$$) than JS.

Now it's been forever since I used PyTorch or TF, but I only remember TF 1.x being more like "why TF isn't this working." At some point I didn't blame myself, I blamed the tooling, which TF2 later admitted. It seemed like no matter how skilled I got with TF1, it'd always take much longer than developing with PyTorch, so I switched early.
> I believe that all infrastructure built on Torch is just a huge pile of technical debt, that will haunt the field for a long, long time.

... from the company that pioneered the approach with tensorflow. I've worked with worse ML frameworks, but they're by now pretty obscure; i cannot remember (and i am very happy about it) the last time i saw MXNet in the wild, for example. You'll still find Caffe on some embedded systems, but you can mostly sidestep it.
When I worked in university administration, the quality of food, HVAC in dorms, and other luxury facilities like gyms was a top priority along with a large array of activities to keep students occupied. (The food was excellent and I indulged every few weeks, but it was also pricey on a college employee's salary.)

When my parents were in school.. their description (at an Ivy League-tier school) was of basically inedible food in the cafeteria, and the food being particularly bad on certain days, and no air conditioning (in a hot, muggy part of the south). Their other set of memories was of complete academic excellence where nearly everyone was driven to be their best at whatever they did. My dad paid for it with a job working in a steel mill during the summer. They were both first-generation college students.

I'm not surprised. And I think you nailed the reason too:

> copied a lot in the industry because they work well for the problem space

Finance as an industry could be described as ... incestuous. The people move around within the small circle of firms, so any architectural knowledge gets cross-pollinated quite rapidly. From what I understand, the disruptor pattern itself was reasonably well known in the academic circles well before LMAX wrote about it - but I'm not sure anyone had put publicly available numbers on a heavily optimised version before them. (FWIW, I use a simplified disruptor in one of my own projects because it works well and simplifies the overall design. )

We should also be honest about the technical challenges: there are very few as interesting problem spaces as an exchange or a low-latency MM.
Immigrant founders or other highly skilled tech workers I've been around who speak English as a second language have, for the most part, had excellent English skills.
How do we know that banks are making these errors if no one checks? It might be a few bucks on your account here and there but if that happens over millions of customers... That's a nice little scheme for banks to get away with.
