This makes no sense, even if I agree with your first statement.

Not every company is willing to completely retrain a worker for something outside of their core competency. Lots of candidates simply aren’t competent, or even reliable employees. Lots of companies would rather a position go unfilled than make a bad hire that is very expensive to fix.

Thanks for the answer.

It's not all that germane to the article, more of an aside, so thanks for that indulgence.

Yeah, you have no idea of the process of getting green card via h1b works.

You can ditch the US, get permanent resident status in Canada, become Canadian citizenship, get TN visa to work in the US if you want to and someone who thinks that h1b is a backdoor to a green card will be just starting on green card paperwork. And that's if there are no issues with application.

This is all after participating in h1b lottery for years. Trust me, it's an extremely slow and painful way of getting a green card. If h1b is your way to a green card, it means either: you're already married, you have no idea what are you doing.

It's no a backdoor in any way, person move to the US for work and builds a life here, accumulate assets, I think it's pretty reasonable to give those people a way to settle in the US permanently in these cases.

The program needs to be revamped because it's not working in the way it's sold to voters.

Converting Types in TypeScript
The back of the envelope computations are shockingly shallow and meaningless.

(20 Questions, from the intro) Trying to think of a thing for the game is not a search over a set of known things. Just saying the possibility set has size 2^N doesn't mean that choosing something in the set consists of processing the set. But even if that were the case, and if you do consider each of 2^N options, the consideration process itself is not trivial and probably varies wildly.

(English typing) Touch typists do not (only) simply convert an existing/known string to a sequence of hand actions by mapping character to action. There are whole words and sequences that become units/tokens from the standpoint of muscle memory and processing (this will be relevant to the rubik's cube topic as well). When i type, there's a sort of planning and queueing of actions, but also there's monitoring of actions that allows fast error correction with pressing delete a number of times or holding it and costly determining when the error has been reached, and resuming afterward. Of course the process likely varies from person to person, but there's such a host of other things going on that should count as part of the information processed in this simple behavior that the example and numbers used in the paper for it are utterly useless even as estimates.

(Rubik's cube blind speed solving)
Again we see reference to the entire possibility space (from the perspective of possible configurations of the puzzle). But solvers do not identify the configuration they encounter with reference to the space, nor do they search the space for it. They look for patterns and ignore what they cannot use for the strategy they have practiced. The cuber often does not commit to memory the whole configuration, but will often convert it to a custom and bespoke mnemonic. It's just utter nonsense to refer to the number of possible configurations, it has nothing directly to do with what the human is doing.

If I memorize a 30 word passage, i have not "processed the set of possible 30 word passages".

Can a think which doesn't understand actual concepts actually lie? Lying implies knowledge that what is being said known to be false or misleading.

An LLM can only make predictions of word sequences and suggest what those sequences may be. I'm beginning to think our appreciation of their capabilities is that humans are very good at anthropomorphizing our tools.

Is this the right way of looking at things?

The red line is axial acceleration. The rocket rapidly slows to terminal velocity, reaching it at about 25 sec., then continues to slowly decelerate as t.v. decreases as the air gets thicker. [edit: *] The black line is estimated velocity, as integration of the acceleration. It gives up trying to calculate that at about 45 sec. Based on the barometer readings, it looks like it was going about 650 fps at impact.

What I find interesting is the 4-second delay before igniting the second stage. This is very inefficient compared to immediately igniting it when the first stage burns out. Max-Q (airspeed pressure) issues? 30,000 ft permit ceiling?

Edit: * At 25 sec. it's still going up, so the velocity is decreasing due mainly to gravity, but the rocket is ballistic so the accelerometer is slightly negative due to air friction adding to the gravity deceleration. At about 40 sec. it has reached max altitude and velocity is zero. Accelerometer is still close to zero. Velocity picks up, as shown by barometric altitude curve. Eyeballing it, at about 65 sec. its reached terminal velocity, as shown by barometer curve being pretty flat. Decrease after that is due to decreasing t.v.
Yes, I remember learning about this issue with psychiatric medications and being similarly dismayed.

There is a sub-field called Computational Psychiatry [1] trying to do better. And interestingly, a person could argue that randomized controlled trials for medicine are only really necessary because we don't have good enough theory and/or good enough measurement devices. If we did, we could reliably predict the effects of a medication without the trial.

How does it work in an IaC/CD scenario, with things like Terraform or ArgoCD creating and syncing resources lifecycle inside the cluster? A stale resource, as identified and cleaned by K8s Cleaner, would be recreated in the next sync cycle, right?
I don't see your comparison as relevant. I'm a metre away from a nine-year-old Android 6 phone that can easily go a month on a single charge (while tracking its location!). Your Apple Watch is (a) constantly using its radio, (b) running a fairly high-end graphics chip, and (c) actively probing your body at intervals. Nothing to do with software.
And feature phones (aka dumbphones) have been seeing a sales uptick. I wouldn't say they're popular, but there are people without smartphones who are excluded from these types of coupons.
There is no true function colouring in Python. You can do `asyncio.run(async_function())` inside almost any sync function, or provide your own async shim.
"they might have had reasons, but they definitely didn't have the mandate"

"concluding they did it for no reason"

What?
The question reduces to "how does the intrinsic capacities of intelligence, had by humans, give rise to the capacity to answer complex questions?" -- I see nothing which the framing in informational terms adds.

It's nothing more than saying: we know that wires have electrons, and are made of metal, and can support a transfer rate of 1Gbp/s -- and we know that an LLM takes 1 min to answer "Yes" to a postgraduate physics question -- so how/why does the current in the wire at 10^9 bit/s second, support this 1bit/min mechanism?

It's extremely wrong-headed. So much so the paper even makes the absurd claim that Musk's neurallink need not have any high bandwith capabilities because a "telephone" (to quote) would be sufficient.

This is like saying an internet-connected server, hosting an LLM, need not have a high bandwidth RAM, because it only needs to transmit 1bit/s to answer the "yes" question.

In my view there isn't much worthwhile to say under this framing of the problem -- it's a pseudoscientific framing --- as is quite a lot of 'research' that employs 'information' in this way, a red flag for the production of pseudoscience by computer scientists.

Their implied premise is: "computer science is the be-all and end-all of analysis, and of what one needs to know, and so reality must be as we conceive it". Thus they employ an abuse of abstraction to "prove" this fact: reduce everything down to its most abstract level, so that one speaks in "bits" and then equivocate in semantically-weighty ways between these "bits", and pretend not to be doing so. This ends with pythagorean levels of mysticism.

I agree with this in theory, but in practice...

I've worked directly with probably 50 or so H1B folks in my career. I can only think of a few I'd call exceptional. Just like Americans, most were a mixed bag from good to terrible.

So the idea and argument of best of the best is sound, but it's definitely not being used solely that way.

Ethernet doesn't need a transformer. You can use capacitive isolation as well. But your point still stands though the edge transitions provide easier clock recovery too.
Or they do something silly where there is an "Online Convenience Fee" when you buy online, but if you try to buy it at the box office, there's a different "Box Office Ticketing Fee." The event promoter should pay the cost of their ticketing service provider(s) out of the money they make, not have the purchaser pay it separately.
This is already starting to get grayed out as of 13 minutes from being posted (which hopefully reverses later), but Jesus man, it really makes me wonder where people's sense of perspective comes from. We had an ozone hole growing past the entire continent of Antarctica. We were at best a decade from driving all whales extinct. When I was a kid in Los Angeles, around 5-10% of an average year we were banned from playing outside and had recess canceled because the air quality made it dangerous to breathe. Eastern Canada was effectively unfishable and industries and food stuffs were collapsing because of acid rain from the American rust belt.

I don't doubt there is still a lot of ecological damage being done and at least some of it is cumulative, getting worse with time even if what we're doing year-on-year gets better, but a lot of it is not. We wantonly destroyed common supplies of air and water 40+ years ago in ways you almost never see any more and somehow this gets totally ignored.
This is the truth that peoples egos can't seem to handle.

Luckily, there's a bit of everything in the archeological site that is ISO 8583, and field 55 (where EMV chip data goes, and EMV itself is quite ASN.1-heavy, presumably for historical reasons) and some others in fact contain something very close to it :)

My respectful counterpoint is that most people aren't paying attention to tech releases at all, ever, unless they go viral like ChatGPT did.

I have very nontechnical coworkers get excited about cool new things ChatGPT can do, but I'm not certain any of them even know we _have_ Gemini in our Google Workspace.

This would hardly be the first time Google has produced innovative technology which eventually fizzles because it never captured much mindshare outside of the tech news circles
Yeah, I wonder what that is going to ground out to. With the AI race, basically anything tangential is research, at least in the definition of "doing something scientific-looking that's not been done before". That could include a _lot_ of companies from massive to tiny.
This was literally my first thought for the anomalous drones like 2 weeks ago, and it was immediately obvious that the entire NJ police department should not be incompetent enough to fall for something so obvious. The mayors and governor should not be dumb enough to stake their reputations on this when the null hypothesis of "mass hysteria" is easier and safer. Even back then, we knew the sightings do not appear on flight radar apps that show every commercial flight and which any civilian can access.

But since then we've also had airport shutdowns, incursions over airforce bases, drones in no-fly zones. These are easy to Google:

Also NJ police report the anomalous drones give off no heat signature like normal drones:

There's a lot more I could post about, but most importantly Chuck Schumer is trying to get Robin drone radar detectors deployed, and I'm predicting that he's the smart guy in the room who will get us answers.
The problem is that too many people don't know what 'normal' is and nobody can pay attention to everything all of the time. When attention is drawn to something, and without the ability to judge if something is unusual, the inclination is to believe that noticing for the first time is the same as occurring for the first time.

There is a BBC Radio program called More or Less, which covers analysis of statistics in the media. They have a motto "Is that a big number?" which is a great starting point for any investigation, essentially asking if the observation is what you would expect if nothing newsworthy were occurring. It's worth keeping that idea floating in your head.

Welcome to medicine and biology. We have no idea how a lot of stuff works (ask an anesthesiologist how anesthesia actually works, if you don't mind being freaked out). We just know it seems to reliably work.

This extends all the way to surgical procedures, which often amount to "should fix your issues, IDK" especially when it comes to soft tissue.

I like to think of it as a stochastic discipline. (Which means that you want doctors who understand probabilities. Many don't. Filter well)
Slippery slope. I posit that there are news items that deserve real cause for concern, but because we're so overwhelmed with information, we throw it into the same "gossip" bucket with the rest of the slop.

I mean that it's much easier to write apps that change their layout based on window size. Especially if you want to target both a desktop app and a mobile app using the same codebase. QML is great for that.

QML is definitely getting better in regard to type checking. For example, you can annotate a list with a type:

property list<int> myNumbers: [1, 2, 3]

You can annotate a signal with the expected types:

signal onThisChange(x: int, str : string)

Etc.

You can also ENABLE_TYPE_COMPILER[1][2] to convert QML files to C++ which require you to type your code in order to work, but I don't really have experience with that.

I'm sure there are even more examples I'm missing. There was a discussion regarding TypeScript support in QML[3] but I guess they decided to do it their own way[4].

This comment may unnecessarily discourage people from using metformin.

- There is no evidence linking metformin to PSP, let alone a causal relationship.
- PSP is also very rare, prevalence ~ 7 per 100,000 [1].
- Metformin is used by 100+ million people [2].
- It has been safely prescribed for type 2 diabetes since the late 1950s [2].

Metformin is a highly effective and widely used medication. It would be unfortunate for people to avoid it based on speculative claims. If there’s specific evidence suggesting metformin as a risk factor for PSP, I’d be interested, but the leap from "mitochondrial complex I inhibition is associated with PSP" to "metformin causes PSP" is unwarranted.

As for the prophylactic use comment: we are all going to decay and die, trying to mitigate those risks with metformin is not unreasonable. There is evidence supporting its potential benefits, though some of these may reflect its established role in managing diabetes. (talk to your doctor, etc.)

Improvement and meeting the rubric is all that is expected in my wife's class. My wife has significantly dropped expectations over the years she has taught. And some students still think they can just whine, cheat, and play victim to get whatever grade they want rather than just working hard.
I eat a pretty low carb (but not very low/keto!), high protein diet. Lots of vegetables, tofu, and chicken. I eat a head of cauliflower and two heads of cabbage a week. My broccoli bill is off the charts. But I'm also 210 lbs at 17% body fat so maybe my goals are different from most people's.

I usually use seed oils, in very small amounts (to get a pan going). I consume red meats infrequently (just not my favorite thing, idk im weird), but when I do, I totally use the fats from them to cook the rest of the meal.

Anyways, having been eating "clean" for a year, I always feel like shit after eating fried foods. Or maybe, I just notice that I feel it more.
