Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this, dude -- a lot of other replies are complaining (because this does suck for US citizens), but I imagine it also sucks for you, since (IIUC) you just want to keep your good developer and also not lie to the government. It's not fun to hear about but it's better it's said out loud, right. Sorry you're in this situation
The remarkable thing is really how much hate speech this announcement triggered on X

Okay, but really... If you're going to criticize, can we at least make valid analogies?
The Babylon Bee occasionally takes a good swipe at liberals and democrats.

The Onion will go down in history as one of the most influential satire projects of all time, and is filled with genuinely talented writers and comedians. Even their early Youtube work was prescient and brilliant.

He inspired the harassment. It was obvious to everyone, Jones included, that his actions were resulting in grieving parents being harassed and he did not change his actions. At some point people should be held responsible for the actions they know they are inspiring in others.
Well it also wasn't founded on whatever the hell we were doing before either
Very cool, and congrats!

The corresponding ToB blog post says the following:

> Longer term, we can do even better: doing “one off” verifications means that the client has no recollection of which identities should be trusted for which distributions. To address this, installation tools need a notion of “trust on first use” for signing identities, meaning that subsequent installations can be halted and inspected by a user if the attesting identity changes (or the package becomes unattested between versions).

Agree: signing is only as good as verification. However, trust-on-first-use (TOFU) is not the most secure way to map packages to attestations because nothing stops attackers who have taken over PyPI from tampering with the _unsigned_ mapping of identities to attestations in package lockfiles for new clients (certainly in containerized environments where everything could look new), and even just new versions of packages.

Although [PEP 458](https://peps.python.org/pep-0458/) is about signing the Python package index, it sets the foundation for being able to securely map packages to signed in-toto _policies_, which would in turn securely map identities to attestations. I think it is worth noting how these different PEPs can work together :)
He’s going with the old classic: the opposite side is brainwashed and dumb!

Another home run.
>I have 0 obligations to do or fix anything I've made open source.

While technically true, this seems pretty scummy when you're advertising security software for real people and companies to use as their identity management.

Nowhere on the Keycloak home page does it say "just a hobby project" or anything that would remotely indicate that it is not a serious project and that you shouldn't use the software.

Instead, it seems like they are trying very hard to be taken seriously as an identity management product.
I assumed the numerous too-obvious errors were some form of code for information hiding.

But more importantly, how easy it is to make a lot of money disseminating it.
My point is also not really about AI, my point is that pointing out that the same arguments that X implies Y could (and have been) applied to virtually every V, W, Z (where X and V/W/Z are both in the same category, in this case the category of "disruptive inventions") and yet Y didn't happen as predicted isn't ad hominem tu quoque fallacy or anything to do with hypocrisy, it's an observation that arguments about the category resulting in Y have tended to be consistently wrong so we probably should treat claims about Y happening because of something else in the category with scepticism...
Ghost or not, I have applied for many jobs in the last few months and when I get a reply (I am not counting canned Thanks for applying but we decided to move with another candidate reply) it is almost always very early stage companies. I wonder if bigger companies actually look into CVs? I understand there are automated systems but I did not get replies several times even when the JD / Skills matched super closely with my CV.

Yes...but the academic elitism poison has created some additional horrid problems:

4.) "Price No Object" college education. When a college turns itself into a luxury lifestyle club and gold-plated monument to its own glory, it needs to be fully reclassified and taxed as such.

5.) "College Degree Required" credential inflation. If the goal was to debt-burden and generally screw up the lives of average young people, while growing & enriching the whole college industry, I'd count this a huge success. Otherwise? No, FAIL.

This "pipeline" thing is just an excuse. Companies are ALWAYS in the look for a special talent. This is not a real problem. If they find a very competent person they will offer the job. Otherwise, which is 99% of the time, they'll just say they're building a pipeline. It is the same mindset of a predator, they can justify being always looking for new pray, even though they know they'll only get it very rarely.
And profit off of the lies.

If you have uBlock Origin installed - and if not stop what you're doing right now and install it first (on Firefox, preferably) - you can use the 'zap' function to kill all those annoying login overlays used by the likes of Fbook. Bind the function to a key combination (I use shift-leftAlt-z) and whenever an annoying overlay or other annoying thing appears in a web page you can simply zap it by pressing the key combination and pointing at the offending page element. On Fbook you'll need to zap a number of overlays before you get to the actual page since they layer the annoyance on quite heavily but just persevere and you'll eventually get there.

What are these miraculous tax deductions you are talking about?

It’s eye opening if you get it. I realize this thread is childish and arrogant but that’s largely orthogonal to the epiphany you gain from grokking Haskell.
Recently I have found several things:

- there are some positions that exist only to receive new personal data information. There are companies that scrape user data when you apply for a job

- some job positions are kept to make employees more productive

- some job positions are kept open to show investors "we are still hiring", "we have no problems, etc.

- some HR just want to have more and more data, some times it is just useful to have new CVs at hand

- my wife decided recently to apply to companies directly, not through work sites, to get directly to managers, etc.

- in the end my wife found job by word of mouth, someone knew someone, etc. etc.
It looks like it's down now?
Well this one’s easy; there’s less money going around than in say, 2021, and hiring people is harder.
> It is a private entity that will operate outside the government, and influence the president. What could possibly go wrong?

National Science Board is an external advisory board to the US gov. There's tons of examples of this sort of thing, especially in education and science.
Sometimes they also need to post the job to meet company policies. The hiring manger knows who they want to hire, but HR has requirements to post for various reasons.
I generally find algorithmic recommendations to be poor. The recommendations I actually find useful and welcome are the ones made by humans that I personally know well enough to understand their taste.

Most of the recommendations I pay attention to are not from the internet at all.
These two different yet same yellows have a fancy name too: metamers. [1] I think it’s super interesting too, and you can even create metamers out of non-metamers using the right light sources. As a trichromat subject to the same metamers as most humans, I want to know what it feels like to be a tetrachromat who can see the differences between colors I can’t tell apart. Or a bi/mono-chromat (aka color blind) where metamers really start to stack up.

There's no obligation for a hobbyist to fix the stuff they publish online. If they're selling the result, then sure, you can argue there's reasonable consideration, but just because a security researcher has made a contribution (and a valuable one) it doesn't compel any further contribution from the original author. Now, the lack of action does probably remove some of the credibility of the project as one that should be used in any security context (bit of a problem for something intended to be used as authentication).

Jones' lawyers at one point forwarded a full phone dump of Jones' phone by accident to opposing council. They of course notified Jones' lawyers immediately to ask if this was a mistake that they should delete/disregard, as was their right.
Jones' lawyers promptly ignored this, or didn't understand what was going on, resulting it becoming fair game after X days had passed.
This goody bag of text messages and pictures contradicted several points of Jones' defence regarding who he was communicating with and a bunch of incriminating evidence that wasn't produced during discovery.
That was my understanding of that episode, I may have misunderstood parts of it.
Oh, and they revealed this when Jones was on the stand, and it is available to view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC9RiRUF21A

whoops, looks like you let the mask slip! I see you started this thread debating the merits of trust in the court system, I'm relieved we've finally got to the crux of it. You consume and identify with the kind of crank material Infowars publishes. Thank you for letting us know.
I took the implication to be that GP already had a good employee who was hired legitimately under the terms of the H1B, but that, to convert to a green card, you have to see whether a US person could do the job. So you have to put out for interviews to see, but you don’t have to act on that information.

If the interview process yields a US person equally qualified, GP can’t (and doesn’t) certify the guest worker’s green card application. But that doesn’t mean they have to fire them and send them home early: they can let the guest worker work out their contract if they want to (which they probably do, it probably pays well compared to other options). And an experienced, already-trained, good employee is probably more valuable to the business than an immediate, unplanned new hire anyway.

So yes, certainly screwed up incentives—but I don’t see how it would be better to require guest workers to put their jobs in immediate jeopardy just to apply for permanent residency.
So you’re just using your own definition of legal/illegal?

Literally someone (or, at least, some thing) that can figure things out as problems arise? That seems quite generous. Unless you're solving a "problem" that has already been solved a million times before, it won't have a clue. These so-called AIs are predictive text generators, not thinking machines. But there is no need to solve a problem that is already solved in the first place, so...

It is really good at being a "college professor" that you can bounce ideas off of, though. It is not going to give you the solution (it fundamentally can't), but it can serve to help guide you. Stuff like "A similar problem was solved with <insert research paper>, perhaps there is an adaptation there for you to consider?"

We're long past a world where one can solve problems in a vacuum. You haven't been able to do that for thousands, if not millions, of years. All new problems are solved by standing on the shoulders of problems that were solved previously. One needs resources to understand those older problems and their solutions to pave the way to solving the present problems. So... If you can't use the tools we have for that during the interview, all you can lean on is what you were able to memorize beforehand.

But that doesn't end up measuring problem solving ability, just your ability to memorize and your foresight in memorizing the right thing.

Let’s all take a moment to recognize that, really, this discussion is about good bad songs.

Bob Dylan made three records of Christian music and 80% of the tracks from those are definitely worse than anything anyone’s discussing here.

There’s bad, and then there’s bad. The bad stuff is so bad it doesn’t even come up in worst-song conversations. Nor in so-bad-it’s-good conversations.
Besides H1B, some larger companies require managers advertise a position before promoting people into it. This seems backwards to me, but I'm sure there's a reason for it (though I doubt the policy actually meets that reason).
There just aren't that many jobs for management roles (CPO/VP Product/etc) compared to applicants.

How do you do intelligence without computation though? Brains are semi-distributed analog computers with terrible interconnect speeds and latencies. Unless you think they're magic, any infinite language is still just a limit to them.

About a decade ago, it was a hot fashion in Education schools to argue that homework did not promote skill development. I don't know if that's still the case, as fashions in Education can change abruptly. But consider what this position means. They are saying "practice does not improve skill", which goes completely against the past century or so of research in psychology.

If your field depends on underpowered studies run by people with marginal understanding of statistics, you can gather support for any absurd position.

> You become a public worker through exam, and the representative usually have no power over your nomination, raises, etc.

Who else would have power over "nomination, raises etc" of anyone, if not elected representatives? Other public workers? At this point would they not be a sovereign group distinct from France, untouchable by the french people?

I guess the elected representatives have indirect power over everything in the end, if France is still a democracy. May be lots of layers of indirection, like the need to pass or change a law, but still.

Who defines and administers the exam you mentioned? Other public representatives? Can they decide to pass their relatives?

I wasn't expecting much from David Brooks, but it's a surprisingly good article.

I think we've inherited conflicting conceptions of meritocracy. There's an ancient conception that can be traced back to Plato's Republic. The philosopher kings ruled for the sake of society, not for themselves. In Plato's view, philosophers didn't want the job of kings, would rather spend their lives in contemplation, and had to be forced into the unpleasant task of governing because the alternative was much worse, i.e., allowing the incompetent or immoral to rule. Plato's Republic was socialist, not capitalist. Even the raising of children was shared by the community.

Although capitalism is inherently an economic system rather than a moral system—the laws of supply and demand merely descriptive—it has unfortunately taken on a moral sheen. Under this newer conception of meritocracy, those who acquire greater wealth deserve it (morally speaking), due to their greater merit. Wealth is a reward, poverty a punishment. It almost feels as if some people believe that the so-called "Invisible Hand" of the market is God making choices, evaluating the goodness or badness of mortals.

I don't think anyone disputes that our leaders, our doctors, our scientists, ought to be the most qualified people for the jobs. What I personally would dispute is that these people also deserve to be much wealthier than everyone else. I believe that merit is at least partially inborn; it certainly seems that way in my case, and I immediately excelled relative to my peers at a very early age, without even "trying hard". On the contrary, it was quite easy for me and a struggle for them. I don't think that accidents of my birth—genetics and/or family social standing—somehow justify gross inequality in society. I don't think my "merit", whatever that is, makes me deserving of financial success. Perhaps capitalism is the best, most efficient economic system, and rewarding merit is a decent means to an end, but we should never forget that rewarding merit is not the ultimate end, not a moral imperative. The economic system ought to be for the benefit of the masses, not just for the lucky few.

I actually couldn't begin to guess. The only thing I have to go on is, I think the administration is angling to do a sort of bust-out rather than enrich anybody, even those 'on their side'. If that's so, then much like with the FDA, there'll be some funny choices that lead to alarming outcomes.

I just don't know whether that would mean more h1b and ghost jobs, or less.
