Well if you're not endorsing what was said upthread, then your comment is a complete non-sequitir. The parent comment said "LLMs can't give movie recommendations for recent movies because they'll hallucinate or spout nonsense", the next comment responds with a list of accurate movie recommendations, and then you come in and say this:

> Those descriptions are less detailed than the information you will see on basically any streaming interface and yet it still manages to not being very good.

The points you made were not relevant to the discussion at hand. It's like if people were having a debate about where to find the best tacos in town and you stepped in to say "tacos aren't as good as hamburgers, you know" and then got upset that nobody wanted to debate that point with you. It's not everybody else's fault if you don't understand how conversations work!
H-1B is dual intent by definition, so it is not a backdoor. Any sane person who knows how green card application works understands that it is objectively hard, if not the hardest in the whole world.

> Instead of telling everyone else to check their privilege, maybe check your expectations.

Without such an expectation, who would pay tens of thousands a year to enroll in a random U.S. college, only to be told that there is absolutely no way they can work legally there?
It wasn't predetermined, but there was a chain of events that helped.

1) 1993 constitution crisis. Role of the president had gained more power compared to the State Duma (lower legislative house).

2) Privatization in Russia was a mess. On one hand, it created the oligarch class, which led to the obvious money → political power transition. On the other, huge slice of society had suffered economically, which explains the mid 2000s social contract of "People get less democracy in exchange for economical stability".

3) KGB archives hadn't been opened when there was an opportunity to do so. It was a huge mistake.

4) Re-election of Yeltsin in 1996 was against the natural way of events. Lots of resources were used in agitation, including, but not limited to professional political consultants from the USA. Putin's cronies were learning from the best ones.

5) As of 1999, Putin's appointment was a collective decision between two oligarch clans. It was a pure feudalistic/mafia-like process, without a hint of democratic principles. By the time of the next president elections, ruling oligarch clan controlled most of the media.

That's a very oversimplified view. First Chechen war is not mentioned. Role of the Second Chechen war in Putin's presidency is important, yet not crucial.
Some quotes from the Wikipedia article on her https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa

> "I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them. It was an order. To fail would have been to break the faith."

> Chatterjee criticized her for promoting a "cult of suffering" and a distorted, negative image of Calcutta, exaggerating work done by her mission and misusing funds and privileges at her disposal.

> Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, mayor of Calcutta from 2005 to 2010, said that "she had no significant impact on the poor of this city", glorified illness instead of treating it and misrepresented the city: "No doubt there was poverty in Calcutta, but it was never a city of lepers and beggars, as Mother Teresa presented it."

While I am not a confidante of hers (and neither are you) I expect her selfish reward was the satisfaction in her work, the gratitude of those she helped, and the approbation from others.

Selfish desires are not only about money.

Security clearances are a giant hassle. Why go through all that for less than FAANG pay?
It's encouraging to see DHS attempting to update the H-1B program in ways that address longstanding pain points like the unpredictability of transferring jobs, the complexity around defining a "specialty occupation," and the painfully slow application processes. The US economy benefits when companies can more easily hire and retain the talent they genuinely need, rather than having the system incentivise questionable staffing practices or endless guesswork over whether a given degree is "close enough" to the job description.

However, this final rule doesn't magically solve the deeper structural issues. For example, the per-country caps on green cards still leave many H-1B workers stuck in decades-long queues if they're from certain countries. That reality discourages risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and long-term roots,something that runs counter to the very idea of welcoming skilled people. While allowing spouses to work and making it easier to switch roles will improve day-to-day life for some, the broader immigration pipeline remains complicated and slow.

The real test will be in implementation and enforcement. Will the new definitions and stricter oversight actually reduce abuse by staffing firms who've flooded the lottery with dubious registrations? Will the simplified criteria for specialty occupations translate to smoother hiring and fewer headaches for workers and employers alike?

In short: good steps, but we're still a long way from a truly balanced system that reliably identifies, welcomes, and retains global talent without leaving them in extended legal limbo. It's progress, but the ultimate success depends on how these rules play out in the real world,and whether future administrations build on these changes instead of rolling them back.

Correct, if you look at my comment I was unpacking what the phrase "to help industry" could mean, not rebutting your comment.

It's relevant to the original context because what helps industry (in terms of immigration regulation) might or might not help workers in that industry.

Who's going to deploy a 50kt warhead? A DF-5A (I think the mainstay of the Chinese arsenal?) would kill just about half the population of Chicago, and that percentage is reduced by the geographical size of the city of Chicago (everybody in the parts of Chicago that people think of as "Chicago" would be dead). The fireball alone would take out Northwestern University in Evanston and Brookfield Zoo out in the western suburbs. Essentially everybody in Chicago would be gravely injured.

Even North Korea's tests have run into the hundreds of kilotons.

Nobody's shooting Chicago to wound. If a nuclear missile hits us, we're not rebuilding.

I don't have any data to support this but my thought is Russia was always going to turn into something like an oligarchy but that there would be a leader like Putin I think was not inevitable. I think there could have been an elite class that controlled Russia's natural resources and a mostly weak central government. But this idea is based on other countries and I admit to not knowing nearly enough about Russian history to say this with any degree of authority.

Alternatively, if outside forces had set up Russia's new government instead of Russia doing it itself, similar to what the US did with Japan, then I think there would be a larger chance for a more standard Western government. (To be clear, I'm not saying the US necessarily should have done that, or that doing that is a good thing, just that it would have changed the outcome.)

You can quickly whip up a single-file go program anywhere, without any boilerplate or setup:

package main

import "fmt"

func main () {
fmt.Println("hi")
}

// go run file.go

You can write this in any text editor, but using one with LSP support means that `import` statement is added automatically, and with CoPilot or another assistant, the `main` function writes itself as well as any `if err ...` statements. Go is extremely well suited to code generation due to how predictable it is.

Adding dependencies with `go mod` is uneventful.

It will never be as 'scripty' as JS or Ruby, but the readability, safety and performance are totally worth it.

The computer analogy is definitely off. For one thing, rationality is kind of bolted on to our linguistic ability. It's not deeply seated in our brain; it takes substantial energy to engage in logical reasoning and we're not that great at it; even very skilled mathematicians make trivial mistakes.

Deeper in our brain is reasoning about causality. But even that is more of an input to our reactions and emotions than it is as a consciously accessible function, and it too is often wrong.

As you said, it's a heuristic. We certainly can't solve the halting problem with brain magic.

> Personally, this is actually how they got me – I used to use Android phones for many years, but found the Apple Watch so much more appealing than anything available from Google at the time that I made the switch.

Same. Maybe Android watches are better now—it’s been a few years since I looked at them—but at the time they were universally thicker and with worse battery life than the apple watch, which is already thicker than I like.
The one I used for 4 or 5 years was very reliable with dd-wrt on it. I usually just reset once every few months when I updated dd-wrt or felt it seemed to be going a little slow.

Every Christian I speak always says something like this - "a common misconception" " not my understanding" "according to the church fathers" - so many quite not Jesus at to counter me quoting Jesus, the man who is the basis of all your beliefs.

He did not say we could make exceptions, in fact, to use the OT as appropriate - to support Jesus and his teachings, the rule/divine laws that we were given, of which there was only 10 was VERY CLEAR about our taking liberties with interpretation.

Thou Shall Not Judge. No exceptions for this one either - this morally, ethically, legally, socially, none.

Next time you read the Bible - Jesus was frustrated as fuck with the "Church" of his time - he very strongly disliked them as much as a man that claims to be the Son of God can.

He said we are the church - US, the believers, not a building, not a congregation, not a fellowship - US.

He said that in an attempt to prevent the church from becoming as it is now - nothing remotely like him or his teachings, beliefs or values.

For those curious about the trinity what it is and why it is important to Christian faith I highly recommend Delighting in the Trinity by Michael Reeves [1]

"...what kind of God could outstrip the attractions of all other things? Could any unitary, single-person god do so? Hardly, or at least not for long. Single-person gods must, by definition, have spent eternity in absolute solitude. Before creation, having no other persons with whom they could commune, they must have been entirely alone.

Love for others, then, cannot go very deep in them if they can go for eternity without it. And so, not being essentially loving, such gods are inevitably less than lovely. They may demand our worship, but they cannot win our hearts. They must be served with gritted teeth.

How wonderfully different it is with the triune God. In John 17:24, Jesus speaks of how the Father loved Him even before the creation of the world. That is the triune, living God: a Father, whose very being has eternally been about loving His Son, pouring out the Spirit of love and life on Him. Here is a God who is love, who is so full of life and blessing that for eternity He has been overflowing with it..."

Your body is also not designed to lose weight. And will quickly adapt to the reduced calorie count and halt weight loss.

I’ve done a lot of self work in this area and honestly glp-1 drugs and metformin provide a pretty serious ability to make weight loss manageable.

Intermittent fasting is also an effective way to deal with insulin sensitivity but it does involve a large lifestyle switch.

There are 4.8 million developers in the US most of them are not making Meta salaries and I would say that 80% will never see 200K inflation adjusted in thier lives.

Governments exist to take care of their own citizens—that’s their main job. Citizens pay taxes, follow the laws, and contribute to the country, so it makes sense for a government to prioritize their needs. That’s not racist; it’s just how countries work.

If a government tried to treat everyone in the world the same, it wouldn’t be able to meet the needs of its own people. Things like healthcare, schools, and public services are paid for by citizens, so they have to come first.

Also, preferring citizens isn’t about race. Citizenship is something anyone can earn, no matter where they’re from. Calling it racist mixes up two very different things.

It's hard not to break the rules in replying to something like this.
Plenty of people can pass a drug test. That's not the issue I guarantee it. It might slightly help their hiring but it's not the root cause of difficulties, and I seriously doubt compensation is a root cause either.

All the law was ended by Jesus and replaced by The Greatest Commandment, as it is the only law that we need.

To follow every law within the Bible except that one is to fail to follow Jesus - to follow only that law and none of the others is fine by him according to his own words.

Speaking any law as higher than the law laid down by the Son of God himself is denying Christ.

> Removing the public static void main(String[] args) business seems like pandering to a non-existent audience, or at least a miniscule and insignificant one.

Perhaps the audience doesn't exist because of that business. There are many times when I would have used Java over Python to write simple programs for no other reason than having the ability to create a GUI without resorting to third-party libraries. Yeah, Python has tk but it has never clicked with me in the sense that Swing does. Unfortunately, cramming every last thing into an OOP model means that simplicity is rapidly lost. (The same can be said of Python, except Python has not forced it. Java, historically did.)
There is a whole non-corporate world of SMBs that employ 30 or 100 people total. Those businesses have no VPs or corporate cards, but they still have problems and are willing to pay good money for solutions. Family businesses in any industry, law offices, marketing agencies, boutique hedge funds/pe, etc.

Corporate approval for a 10k purchase doesn't need to be complicated either. As a software vendor it helps to have a web page/email with all the relevant info intended to be forwarded to accounts payable.

strang's would be something that is entry level in terms of linear algebra.

I think they should clarify whether they want somebody that has passed a linear algebra class with high marks based on something like strangs' entry level book before...or are on the cutting edge of graduate level linear algebra research. It's not clear from the post and I suspect that might be an issue.

Give me a couple months and I could recite strangs entry level textbook. I passed that class with an A+. But I could not become a PhD level maths student with a linear algebra research focus in that amount of time.

There are multiple very different ways to interpret a requirement for being competent in linear algebra.

Knowing everything covered in strangs introduction to linear algebra is actually quite low on the potential list of requirements and could be self studied.
