I don't know if it's good or bad news for you, but at least you're pretty lucky to have reached this stage—the majority just get rejected.

From what I know, some people have received their visas after 12-16 months of processing. It will most likely be valid for only one year, though. Eight months is pretty early to expect anything at this point.

Here’s a Serbian-Russian expats visa Telegram group where there’s a US section. You can ask people there about their processing times:

Evidenced based design is an architecture field. They try to quantify what aspects of built enviroment improves XYZ. I don't disagree with your gist, but sometimes it does come down to more expensive layouts (i.e. trying increase light/window coverage) or finishes that pushes per sq cost up in institutional buildings.

I can't tell you if a lot of these designs are architecture wank, or actually seriously informed by literature, although architects do pour over relevant literature if only to post rationalize / sell designs.
It's a shame that folks look at this and think it's awesome but then have the dawning question of "When will Google kill it?"

I don't feel I have enough ground truth to know how good Kagi's search is in absolute terms (eg. there are plenty of searches where I still just "fail to find" and I don't know if it's my fault or theirs), I just know that I get less "junk" results with it than with DDG by far. With the additional ability to customize results and filters, I'd say it's a good product and it's worth a small subscription fee.

The quality of all free search is just bad. Kagi, even when it fails, is basically the difference between me looking for something or just giving up and deciding it's not worthwhile. Kagi's not magic-tier like early Google was - it's basically just the only modern web search engine.
> By default, Kagi Image Search downranks images from websites with a high proportion of AI-generated content.

Is this incentive for sites to avoid/discourage AI-generated images, to avoid that hurting search rankings?
Frankly, I hate apple audio products. Apple has a veneer of “industry leader” which makes people think they’re the best they can get, so they don’t look for alternatives. But oh my god apple mics are my bane on a day of calls. They’re “acceptable” in that, yes, can understand you. But their grating low quality is just uncomfortable. Like, I fully expect apple to rope out an AI model that reconstitutes people’s voice to sound normal just so they can keep trying to convince people they don’t need a headset or a boom mic.
How much of that code is still left? I’d think the bigger problem is that they’d have to get everyone who ever contributed to it not as an Automattic employee to agree to a re-license.

> I was told that in order to get a spouse Visa, I need to start the process in Thailand. Is this true? Do i need to apply for everything in Thailand just because this is where we got married? Thank you

This is generally incorrect. For a spouse of a US citizen living abroad, you "start" by filing I-130 and then by completing the NVC paperwork, which can be done either online or through mail. The final stages are generally handled by the overseas consulate where the intending immigrant resides.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrat...

However, you may need documents from Thailand, such as your marriage certificate with English translation and police records for the immigrant.

"vaccines are not bad for you" is better as

The stakes are high because the 10-year “multi-award” contract is meant as an umbrella to modernize a wide swathe of Army software programs, although not all. The initial competition next year would select a pool of preferred vendors, who would then compete for individual programs’ software needs as “task orders” under the umbrella contract, with a maximum value of $10 billion.

This is an atrocious strategy. The Army is essentially contracting out their entire IT strategy. There is no level of oversight or incentive structure that will help an organization police such an ill defined contract.
That's definitely the incentive it produces but given Kagi's market share, I imagine it will have pretty much zero effect on sites' behavior. It's much more (and quite valuable) a browser-side improvement.

He's right about every user of every open source project. The license gives you code, it doesn't give you trademarks, infrastructure support or moral support.

I am amused to see the usual HN vibe both complaining that commercial entities crowding out creators with their own software is violating the "spirit of open source," and insisting that FOSS maintainers don't owe you anything morph into commercial entities don't owe the FOSS maintainers of the software users anything, and are owed trademarks and access to infrastructure.

WP Engine is a hedge fund spinning money out of FOSS. It's fine, it makes more choices available for people. But the idea that Automattic has to acknowledge them, and that acknowledgement cannot be hostile, that's not in the license.
You can't expect an attorney in private practice to have an authoritative answer to this question.

Wouldn't that make the maintenance burden worse? Now PyPI has to host a keyserver, with its own attack service. And presumably 99.7% of the keys would be only for PyPI, so folks would have no incentive to secure them. The two modes that work are either no signing, or mandatory signing like many app stores. Obviously the middle way is the worst of both worlds, no security for 99+% of packages, but all the maintenance headache. And mandatory signing raises the possibility that PyPI would be replaced by an alternate repository that's easier to contribute to. The open source world depends to a shocking degree on the volunteer labor of people who have a lot of things they could be doing with their time, and a "small" speed bump for enhanced security can have knock-on effects that are not small.

Not a laywer. Withdrawing and reapplying after changing the app, or responding to the RFE are both valid options. The only thing that is not useful is appealing a rejection. The appeals rarely work and are a waste of money and time. There was also an executive order about O1 which was supposed to lead to rulemaking that would make O1 and EB1 easier for AI (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-action...). I don't know if anything came of this, but look into whether any rulemaking is happening and apply after a final rule is published, assuming you are doing AI. (Everyone is doing AI, btw).
I do not think this is a case of that happening like with other big tech names treating customers like shit until they make it onto HN. Vlad's super active (like, is he ok?) on the Orion browser bugs/feedback forums so I have to assume the same is true of Kagi, their actual money maker. Sometimes things fall through the cracks. One data point isn't a trend.
Inkscape has its UI quirks but is really quite a fantastic tool for people who make things. It's my go-to tool for anything that looks like a 2D vector image or plot. I even use it to design vinyl motorcycle emblems: https://blog.bityard.net/articles/2022/June/diy-vinyl-cut-mo...

But that’s not a normative mode of movement. Among healthy adults, quadrupedal locomotion will represent a small portion of their movement and is far from a comfortable means of movement thanks to our short arms compared to other apes who engage in quadrupedal movement a significant fraction of the time.
Looks like a great start. If it were me, I would emphasize voice cloning and how that works since that's where potential customers' minds will go when they read the phrase "my voice" or "your voice."
I have a Greencard and would become eligible to apply for citizenship this month. I wonder what the opinions are here on the pros and cons of that. Generally, regarding most practical aspects of daily life, being permanent resident seems pretty much equivalent to that of an US citizen.

Pros:

- can vote

- can get security clearance, potentially more income

- even long periods abroad do not bear the risk of loosing privilege

- can do jury duty

Cons:

- need to do jury duty

- need to declare income to IRS regardless of residency

- potentially be taxed by IRS

Any other cons I'm not aware of? I heard that getting rid of the US citizenship (e.g. for tax reasons) will make it hard to get a visa ever again.
Actually this is not a theory. Photosynthesis came millions of years later than life. Plants are evolved from animals, not the other way around. Basic animals are less evolved than basic plants.

>like a comet

say at the Mercury orbit we unfurled the large sail and got strong boost, and we'll come back for the next round in like 100 years. It is something we'd have to do if there weren't better alternatives. Nuclear or solar panels + ion thruster inside the Mars orbit, nuclear + ion thruster outside Mars seems to beat pure solar. Interstellar - nuclear + ion or my favorite Orion project seems to be again better than pure solar. It is like sailboats vs powerboats - while we love sailboats, the powerboats are really more practical in all the cases except for the lazy relaxed cruising.

>Take into account much much harder radiation in interstellar space, which will require much heavier radiation shield.

Until we have a way of getting like 0.1c, any interstellar takes hundreds of years and will be done either by pure robots or cyborgs and beside some shielding the main way of dealing with radiation damage is to catch/repair ECC memory style.

For 0.1c we have either project Orion - though nobody seems to be willing to go that way (we'll see how it goes once we have operations established on the Moon and Mars, may be somebody will turn to it as 1. they would have a business case for it and 2. it isn't really possible to do such experiments and development on Earth anymore) - or today it looks more like the fusion-exploding small pellets like NIF at Livermore does is the way to go. We can reasonably expect continuing improvement in the gain in those experiment, and while Earth based energy generation requires higher gain and efficient conversion of that small explosion into electric energy which is still a problem to be solved, the space drive application requires exactly such a small explosion, and thus i think such fusion drive will come much sooner than an Earth based fusion power station.

Back in the olden days (10 years ago), when you bought software, you could actually keep using it indefinitely. Doesn’t matter if the company went bankrupt, if you like using Logic Pro 7 and it works with your equipment you can kept using it. I know people who only recently moved off of OS 9 - they were using creative software for over 25 years, it did what they needed it to do so they kept using it. I still know at least one person who uses Office for Mac 98 to this day on an iMac G3; it’s their only computer, but it still works and they have backups of their important documents, so why pay money to switch to an unfamiliar computer, OS, software?

This modern idea of “you’ll own nothing and you’ll like it” ruins that of course, but if someone bought CS6 they can still be using it today. If adobe went bankrupt 5 years ago they could still be legally using it today (they’d have to bypass the license checks if the servers go down, which might be illegal in the US, though). If adobe goes bankrupt tomorrow and I have a CC subscription, I can’t legally keep using photoshop after the subscription runs out.

OT: what's the state of the art in non-GM level computer chess?

Say I want to play chess with an opponent that is at about the same skill level as me, or perhaps I want to play with an opponent about 100 rating points above me for training.

Most engines let you dumb them down by cutting search depth, but that usually doesn't work well. Sure, you end up beating them about half the time if you cut the search down enough but it generally feels like they were still outplaying you for much of the game and you won because they made one or two blunders.

What I want is a computer opponent that plays at a level of my choosing but plays a game that feels like that of a typical human player of that level.

Are there such engines?

What you've said is completely true, but I still can't detect any bad behavior here. He stopped supporting a company that was threatening (not unfairly) his company with his software. Why would he be obligated to justify that?

If you built your business next to mine, and I shared e.g. my water infrastructure with you for free or for a nominal fee, then one day your business got large enough to threaten my business, am I obligated to let you keep using my water, or should you have figured something else out long ago?
Not sarcasm: I'm sure it would be frustrating to see so much scientific and commercial effort going into treating TIID pharmacologically when you believe the solution is trivial.

My point is that trust is a nuanced concept. If you think that it's worth using, then you implicitly trust it enough to use it. Saying "I don't trust it at all but I still use it" is absurd IMHO.

> It's a boon for competitors I suppose, but that's about it.

There aren't that many when it comes to the usual wordpress "niche" aka "slap it on a 5$ VPS and be done with it". Virtually everything else has a muuuuch steeper learning curve, and you gotta be lucky to find third party integrations for more than the usual suspects (WP, Drupal, Joomla).
As an open source creator, I can understand Matt's position to some extent and the frustration behind seeing some competitor profiting from his work. He is clearly eccentric. The part about him asking WP Engine for revenue-sharing in exchange for changing words in his speech made me chuckle. What I don't understand is why he cares so much. He is probably one of the wealthiest OSS people of all time so it seems petty in that context.

Strange. I've been using Inkscape to make vector art on Windows and Ubuntu with various hardware for years and while I don't think it's ever running at 100+ fps it's totally usable and hasn't been laggy. [edit: unless you are using filters or editing a very complex file, it does bog down then.]
