Do you have any recommendations on how long one should wait before starting a startup after receiving permanent residence (EB2) in the US?

I've heard rumors that quitting the job that was used to justify the permanent residence too soon can jeopardize either the green card or future naturalization applications. Is this true?
Is there a possible track for H1B holders (solo/team) to be able to start one? What I have usually been briefed is that you need a US citizen as a majority stake holder. Thanks.
At that point, you're putting more effort into cheating than regular players do at playing the game lol
I don't know why the author shits on the idea of using react-query so much. That's essentially what they implemented, as it does optimistic writes, caching, revalidating and keeps it separate from the components.
What's the general schema of getting someone a work visa in the US?

My understand is big tech usually tries to see if you're eligible for an O-1, and then they take their chances for H1-B, and then there's also a pathway for bringing in workers that have already worked from you from abroad (for one year).

Wondering if there's other types of Visa that are applicable, and where they slot in in the general algorithm of a US-based employer that wants to get a Visa for one of their workers.

I also recently learned about the EB1 Visa, though that one is not tied to an employer. I'm wondering how it compares to the O1 in ease of access / modalities.
I think I’m using the Firefox extension for 1P and it’s been fine the past few weeks. I’ve had sporadic issues with 1P on various browsers for the past few months.
Because it is stupid, that's why.

If only I had a dollar for every time I was blocked somewhere just because somebody else had used the IP just before me to do bad stuff. Worst offenders out there never clear the list, even. In a world of a shortage of IPv4 that approach is just madness.

It's also the opposite of effective. More like bogus effectiveness. Only hurts innocent bystanders.
He’s not going to step down. And if his beef (as stated) is companies making money with WordPress without contributing back, where’s the line? The top page builders like Divi and Elementor all do the same with their cloud offerings. Does he sue them next, simply for using the word “WordPress” to indicate compatibility in their marketing materials? Who wants to invest time and money simply to have Matt steal your work on a whim.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming Matt’s scope is limited to WPEngine; the kind of personality that acts in this way will do the same to anyone.
I am sure this is the right time for hobbysts to make your own movies, and animations.

I personally started programming, in part, to make simple animations like the ones you see in Scratch, and it’s incredible how accessible the tools are today for anyone looking to bring their ideas to life.

As another Ex-GDR citizen here, I think the most subversive were the thick shopping catalogs of the big West-German mail-order companies (Otto, Quelle, Conrad [Electronics]).

I don't remember how or why we got them, but for some reason we did, once in a while. I think they should have been confiscated at the border, but apparently enough West German visitors happened to have one with them on visits, that remained undiscovered, or they were left in some of the many parcels (especially around Christmas time) sent from West to East Germany.

We would look through those thick foto-color glossy paper catalogs, looking at one unobtainable item after another. In every category, from clothes, furniture, tools, toys, to electronics. The difference in quality was several decades, the difference in variety and quantity was at least two orders of magnitude, with many items having no equivalent at all in the East.

The paper and the print quality alone were on another level, and they made that for a throwaway shopping catalog?

Just for comparison, when I turned 14 and was given some money I spent about 1100 East German Marks on a mono cassette recorder (https://ddr-hifi-technik.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IMG_2...). At the same time a stereo recorder's price in West Germany was something like 99 DM. I could not afford the East German stereo variant, that would have cost 1400 East German marks. A typical salary in East Germany was around 1000 East German Marks.
I think this is a weird SAML pattern I've seen before where e.g. Okta generates a URL that's like https://somevendor.com/SAML/somesignedbase64payload to do SSO, which is sort of the inverse of the more common approach of the page you're logging into sending you to the Auth provider after seeing your email domain.
If you have ever put a cone on a cat (which lasts about five minutes), you see they get crazy. They hug the walls.

Their whiskers are a major factor in their perception.

I think they can also dislocate their spine.

My cat likes to sit in what we call his "Buddha" position, with his back bent about 90 degrees, and his paws in front. This seems to be a common position. He'll sit like that for an hour.

Geohot has multiple (and ongoing) rants about the sheer instability of AMD RDNA3 drivers. Lisa Su engaged directly with him on this, and she didn't seem to give a shit about their problems.

Most subreddits worth posting on usually have a minimum account age + minimum account karma. I've found it annoying to register new accounts too often.
I will offer you another thought along that last paragraph: Pitch correction and post-processing is a productivity aid for musicians, so Dua Lipa doesn't actually need to ever be able to give a good performance of one of her songs for the recording to come out perfect. Most artists are great singers/players, but it's a waste for them to spend time practicing songs when they just need to be good enough to correct. Cyndi Lauper had to be able to sing her songs at record quality, but Dua Lipa never did, so the quality gap between a live performance and the (perfect) recording will be a lot bigger naturally for the more modern artist.

Also, the dancing that happens at modern pop concerts is so difficult and lively that nobody would be able to sing well, much less at full power, while doing it.
My assumption would be clumsy session tracking.

> If you lose either a password or a passkey, you do the same thing: reset and set a new one via email recovery.

If that’s an option (and it often really is!), why go through all the trouble of implementing passkeys and not just implement “login via email”?

For some services, that’s not secure enough though.
The second L in LLM stands for "language". Nothing of what you're describing has to do with language modeling.

They could be using transformers, sure. But plenty of transformers-based models are not LLMs.
This is kind of wrong-ish.

There are parts that might be a million years old, but everything is in a state of flux at all times. Things are changing all the time. Evolution is a process with no end goal.

And just because that got us here today doesn't mean it's the best design. If that's the case, cats are equally the best design. As are dogs, and elephants, and mosquitos, and platypuses. Evolution is the ultimate form of the adage, "You don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than your friend". Good enough works well enough.

We are effectively held together with duct tape and string. Our eyes are wrong, our backs are wrong, our throats, nerves, circulatory, etc. are all wrong in some manner. And some of the fixes are simple. There is no reason for our ocular nerve to start from the inside of the eye. It just happened that way. And it worked well enough.

You can use a lead pipe to hammer nails, that didn't make it a good choice.
I would contend that, where an employee/student is disengaged in a videoconference and demonstrating that, that is a good feedback signal to the leadership that the followers are indeed disengaged and perhaps the leadership is doing something wrong.

Because I was in exactly that position as a teaching assistant, and we dealt with students all the time who had cameras turned off, AFK, distracted, lost.

If AI is going to mask those important feedback signals and lie to the leadership, then the leadership will become ever more ineffective, and the workers will all pay the price. Good job.

What you describe, I don't see happening.

If you look at all the recent Google Docs features rolled out, only a small minority are AI-related:

https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%...

There are a few relating to Gemini in additional languages and supporting additional document types, but the vast majority is non-AI.

Seems like the companies are presumably sorting on ROI just fine. But, of course, AI is expected to have a large return, so it's in there too.
Also the "fun" stage setting. I once quit a big-ish tech company when they started pulling stuff like that.
coveryourtracks.eff.org is a great service, but it has a few limitations that apply here:

- The website judges your fingerprint based on how unique it is, but assumes that it's otherwise persistent. Randomizing my User-Agent serves the exact opposite - a given User-Agent might be more unique than using the default, but I randomize it to throw trackers off.

- To my knowledge, its "One in x browsers" metric (and by extension the "Bits of identifying information" and the final result) are based off of visitor statistics, which would likely be skewed as most of its visitors are privacy-conscious. They only say they have a "database of many other Internet users' configurations," so I can't verify this.

- Most of the measurements it makes rely on javascript support. For what it's worth, it claims my fingerprint is not unique when javascript is disabled, which is how I browse the web by default.

The other extreme would be fixing my User-Agent to the most common value, but I don't think that'd offer me much privacy unless I also used a proxy/NAT shared by many users.

I've noticed free-range chickens have some characteristics that derive from a similar position; chickens are not "predators" but they will happily predate if the opportunity arises, and they are also prey. Being birds and natural flock animals, it manifests differently, and there's some interesting behaviors I've noticed.

"Chicken" as a synonym for "total, utter coward" is slander. Yes, running is their first play, but they do not just roll over and die like a sheep or a rabbit; if running isn't working they can and do fight back for all they are worth. And they don't have to be "backed into a corner" and only fight if it's the absolute last option, it just has to be as I phrased it: "running isn't working".

At least they were parked.
There's an extremely annoying pattern you see a lot, where someone with a naive understanding of an extremely complicated topic will bust in and say "you are all idiots who are obviously doing it wrong!" without having any understanding of the deep, complex history of the topic. They think they know better than the experts, because they found what looks like an obvious, surface-level problem. After all, why haven't those idiots noticed this problem and fixed it??

If they're lucky, someone who actually knows what they're talking about will walk them through how it's actually a very complex topic, and what looked like an obvious problem is actually just a visible imperfect outcome of what is the best way we've managed to optimize the problem space. Others in this thread are taking this approach. Bless 'em.

But, I think it would be better if people didn't do this in the first place. Research funding is a super complicated topic involving hundreds of people and processes. No, it's not perfect, but it's the best approach we've got. If you want to improve a complex system, you need to go engage with it, understand how it works, understand how the problem occurred (if it even is a problem!), and find a way to fix it without making things worse. This is really hard work! Just busting into a topic and loudly complaining on some random web forum doesn't accomplish anything, except if you're lucky making someone else spoon-feed you the answers you could've found yourself.

Usually it's just ignorance, but sometimes it's more sinister, as it is also a useful approach for pushing an agenda to other non-expert readers. "Look how much money we waste on public science funding! We should reduce that funding. Look at these corrupt self-serving bureaucrats! We should put someone else in charge, and I know just who it should be." Hmm...

At the very least, they're wasting bandwidth to a (likely) low quality connection.

But anyone making malicious POST requests, like spamming chatGPT comments, first makes GET requests to load the submission and find comments to reply to. If they think you're a low quality user, I don't see why they'd bother just locking down POSTs.
Can you whitelists urls to be readead by bot on Cloudflare? Maybe this is a good solution, and there you can put your RSS feeds, sitemaps, and other content for bots. Also Cloudflare can make a dedicated fields to whitelists RSS and Sitemaps on the admin panel so users can discover more easily that they may don't want block those bots.

Can you whitelist URLs to be read by bots on Cloudflare? Maybe this is a good solution, where you as a site mantainer can include your RSS feeds, sitemaps, and other content for bots.

Also, Cloudflare could ship a feature by creating a dedicated section in the admin panel to let the user add and whitelist RSS feeds and sitemaps, making it easier (and educate) users to avoid blocking those bots who aren't a threat to your site, of course sill considering rules to avoid DDOS on this urls, like massive requests or stuff that common bots from RSS readers don't do.
You’re right. I’ll read more carefully next time.
From an immigration standpoint, there are no issues with U.S. companies employing foreign nationals who are working remotely OUTSIDE the U.S.; U.S. immigration doesn't come into play unless and until the individual will be working IN the U.S. For employees working remotely in the U.S., while this needs to be noted and referenced in any immigration application, it doesn't really change the immigration options and paths.

You might like the second episode of All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. It talks about how techno-utopians tried to model society and nature as feedback loop controllers.

One might say a part of the reason they have failed is because nature and people don't much care for the I term. These systems have feedback loops for sudden events, but increase the temperature slowly enough and the proverbial frog boils.

There are very many undercurrents in our world we do not see. So much that even when we think we understand and can predict their effects, we almost never take into account the entire system.

> The speed of light is constant as measured from any observer.

That is not true. The "speed of light" in vacuum is not constant for all observers in the _general_ relativity. It is constant only _locally_, Lorentz invariance is a local symmetry in GR. Special relativity thus simply becomes an edge case of GR, where the Lorentz invariance is also a global symmetry.

That's how we get lensing, regions of space near a massive object are more "viscous" and the light moves slower through them.

Yes. I absolutely despise Adobe, and I will not be using this.

They have an entire cancellation department. (!)
Does anybody have insight into the dissenting opinion. I skimmed through it and it just looked like the commissioner was saying "this is overreach, partisan and congress should do this". Am I missing something?
I'm not convinced. The flows are a little less convenient right now, but that's basically it.

Ex - I can absolutely get exactly this same rotation feature using open toolchains, they just haven't been nicely consolidated into a pretty package yet.

So to recreate the same thing adobe is doing here I currently have to:

1. Use the 3d-pack in comfy-ui to get stack orbit camera poses for my char (see: https://github.com/MrForExample/ComfyUI-3D-Pack scroll down to stack orbit in the readme)

2. Import those images back into the open source tool manually.

Is it as convenient? Nope - it requires a lot more setup and knowledge.

Is it hard to imagine this getting implemented in open source? Also nope. It's going to happen, it just won't be quite as quick.

The blog's moral stance is that GAFAMs are "neutral" or even "marginally good", because I suppose, they are, among other things, "pro-West".

I don't know which repressive country he "spent a few years in", but I am not sure why he seems more concerned by Russia and China (especially in a country under direct nuclear umbrella) than the risk of parts of the West turning repressive.

And that's not even counting the damage that they might cause outside, like Facebook's complicity in Myanmar's genocide.
Thanks! I need to shut down that website. I merged my firm with another.
There's more to it than that, but I'm not sure what to call it- it also seems to include an absolute religion-like faith in, e.g. the absolute correctness of positions from official organizations and current scientific understanding. Even if a scientific researcher or medical doctor has an informed opinion based on new data that differs from mainstream recommendations - even when it can clearly be demonstrated that those recommendations simply haven't been updated yet for new evidence, they will attack that person also.

I used to call it 'scientism' but someone else on here in a recent argument pointed out to me that scientism really just means that you believe that science can in principle be used to understand anything if you do it correctly- which I agree with.

Tim Cook’s conversations with Trump starts at 47:27.

It happens often in very big companies. I remember multiple trips to different floors of a building to get the requisition form and authorization for a single notebook and pen that in the end cost the company ~$150. Someone has a KPI 'I cut down stationery costs by 12%', what the trade-off costs is someone else's problem entirely.
The title of the post is “The Kamala Harris Plagiarism Scandal”, not “NYT misleads”

> With this new information, while I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times, the overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud.

> Is it problematic? Yes. But it’s also not the wholesale fraud that many have claimed it to be. It sits somewhere between what the two sides want it to be.

And “Eighteen of the allegations focus on the book, and another 11 focus on alleged self-plagiarisms that came later”.

Self-plagiarism is a very strange accusation. As the post points out, people with a message repeat themselves a lot. Otherwise they don’t get the message across.
