Even if that clause was tied to it, how would that affect things given US Title 10 ss 246? I've always wondered if they would enforce those restrictions - disarming disabled people, disarming people over 45, and disarming most women (not in the national guard). Likewise, would that mean I'm then able to own the same weapons individually that the organized militia uses for their duties? It makes for an interesting thought experiment.

On the other hand the 1965 Hart-Celler Act started the importation of asians under the guise of abolishing "racist" policies that restricted immigration and mostly let in people from the west. Frankly it should have never been passed and the country and labor market would be MUCH better off.

Bush Sr sealed the deal by bringing in the H1B. Between the Bushes, Clintons and Obamas we've been systematically screwed over and debased.

You view Github and LLMs as traps that deliberately give you malicious advice or even brainwash you into addiction? If you view things that way then it's no surprise that you are averse to LLMs (and Github). But frankly I find that entire view to be absurd and overly cynical.
I just find it very unlikely that you really have two candidates who appear equal after 10 minutes of talking to them.

I guess it depends on how much freedom an HM has. Where I've worked, the answer has been "more than enough". Which means you can easily ask e.g. a philosophical question. Ask something unrelated to the job, see what kind of person they are. Chance they'll both respond the exact same way is negligible, and you'll very likely come out preferring one of them. Only few people lie when you give them a good question that doesn't sound like it has a "wrong" answer that would get them a minus.

Does this mean you'll necessarily get the best candidate? No, but it's better than selecting on a proxy for willingness to lie, that's how you end up with people far too good at political games, to detriment of the org.

In places where the HM has little freedom, I guess there's little choice indeed. But even then, I'd try to go with whorver sounds most happen and genuine, rather than most interested in the company per se.

That wasn't really a possibility for anything but static fullscreen images, or extremely optimized demos. Even then it would be difficult, since there is no way to generate an interrupt at a specific raster position (unlike CGA, where the pixel clock was synchronized with the system timer chip).
Also, we know placebos exist and in fact are expected to exist in medical trials, but...how? Why? Can we control this? Evidently we're seeing something, and we've incorporated it into scientific understanding, but only at a high level so far.

Sounds like NVIDIA doesn't know what the hell the future is going to look like but hopes it's something to do with robotics, and is taking some the boatloads of money from the past few years to build out product lines for every conceivable robotics need. Good for them I guess.

The article references a "ChatGPT moment" for physical robotics, but honestly I think the Chat GPT moment has kind of come and gone, and the world still runs largely as it ever did. Probably not the best analogy, unless they're just talking about buckets of VC money flowing into the space to fund lots of bad ideas, which would be good for NVIDIA financially.

As an admitted non-expert in this field, I guess the one thing that really annoys me about articles like this is the lack of a concrete vision. It's like Boston Dynamics and their dancing robots, which while impressive, haven't really amounted to much outside of the lab. The last thing I remember reading was a military prototype to carry stuff for infantry that ended up being turned down because it was too loud.

The article even confirms this general perspective, ending with "As of right now, we don’t have very effective tools for verifying the safety and reliability properties of machine learning systems, especially in robotics. This is a major open scientific question in the field,” said Rosen."

So whatever robot you're developing is incredibly complex, to be trusted with heavy machinery or around consumers directly, while being neither verifiably safe nor reliable.

Sorry, but almost everything in this article sounds like a projection of AI-hype onto physical robotics, with all the veracity of "this is good for Bitcoin". Sounds like NVIDIA is doing right by its shareholders though.

That's already being done. Saddam Hussein was quickly killed, and what followed? Same goes for Ghaddaffi. Israel has killed a lot of leaders and is clearly not satisfied with having done that.

What they want is border and population control that involves very few ordinary citizens, in large part in expectation of something like hundreds of millions of climate refugees. After having spent a couple of years killing and maiming poor people with almost nowhere to go you tend to need quite a bit of medical care and usually join the anti-war movement regardless if you got a college degree out of it or not.

I find it likely we'll see gun mounted robodog patrols along occidental borders within ten years from now, after having tested it on populations elsewhere.

Rethinking Builders with Lazy Generics in Rust
I think people are overly interested in self-promotion in an interview situation. In sales training I did many years ago, there was the maxim that, whoever mentions price first, loses. The better way is to get the person to talk about themself, their needs, the nature of the work, everything you can coax out of them.

In the sales mode (which, of course is what an interview is), the idea is to gather information to understand the real need and configure a product that meets it.

In an interview, that is you. If the job doesn’t explicitly require experience, then it should never be mentioned. In fact, it should be concealed unless, during the information gathering, there is reason to think it is necessary.

Too many of us approach an interview with the idea of “if I can just let them know how good I am”. Far better is, “how can I help them understand how well I fit their needs”.

During the information gathering, ask questions that help the other person actually say things that match your (hopefully narrowly targeted) resume. Not in obvious ways, “Do you use React?” but get them to think it up, “What front end framework do you use?” followed by another question about React when they say they use it.

The point is Focus on Them. Not Yourself. Learn don’t Talk. Fit in, don’t try to impress.

I still have a hard time saying which way in your scenario since I tend to move companies. The wide network has totally helped my career. Also I feel like at a higher level, having a network is actually part of the job.

The O-1 visa is the "genius" visa. There is no cap on the number of O-1 visas. So eliminating the H1B would have the effect you desire.
What I wrote is the general understanding of the word, whether you agree with it or not. On who and how it is applied, that's a totally different thing - that is a political designation, if you ask me (especially when it comes to domestic affairs).

Though I'd like to believe that in this case, at least early on in the investigation, the feds have contradicted the mayor only to make this distinction before they can say it without guessing - once you call someone a terrorist in an official communication, it's hard to take it back.
It turns out that she is not called Jaccarino, but Yaccarino. Looks like if I search for her correct name, I get better results. What a crazy system!

That's an under-regarded source for a lot of odd business behavior. I would guess that directors (managers of managers) and up derive most of their job satisfaction from being obeyed, yet it's hardly mentioned.
I disagree at least a little bit, the fact that there's support on the browser side is much much more important than support on the server. I can write a server of arbitrary complexity given enough time, the scope of the problem is now one that I can fix.

Thanks for your interest!

- Is this closed source?

Currently, the code is not open source, but I might open-source parts of it in the future.

- Does it cost money?

The software is free to use. If there is demand, I might create a "pro" version for businesses in the future. However, I intend to always have a free version available for individuals.

- How does it discover data relationships?

I've discussed how it discovers data relationships in the documentation here: https://docs.apiparrot.com/docs/tutorial-extras/exchange-mod....

In short, the tool breaks down the data in the requests and responses into smaller parts by identifying their formats. For example, `["foo", "bar"]` would be recognized as a JSON array and broken down into the elements `"foo"` and `"bar"`. By applying this method recursively, you build a tree-like structure of the data.

If an exact match is found between data in a response from a previous request and data in a subsequent request, a correlation is detected.

Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
Read Liftoff by Eric Berger about SpaceX. Musk is not an rocket engineer, but he was great at hiring engineers, motivating them, and willing to take risks in an field allergic to risk (for good reason, people die when planes and rockets crash.) most interesting to me was Musk’s management of their suppliers: he really streamlined the procurement process, which sped up development enormously. He was smart enough to understand what the engineers were doing and make decisions when they deadlocked, but he wasn’t the technical genius behind everything. Nothing wrong with that. In this day of specialization, he wouldn’t be human if he was doing all the technical work.
FYI: If you do that without a subscrpition, you currently (most likely) get a response generated through 4o-mini — which is not any of their reasoning models (o1, o1-mini or previously o1-preview) of the branch discussed in the linked paper.

Notably, it's not even necessarily 4o, their premiere "non-reasoning"-model, but likely the cheaper variant: With a free account the model it claims to be using is "4o auto", which is not a model but apparently an attempt to automatically decide models for you to be more cost effective.

Without a ChatGPT subscription you can't select a specific model anymore, not even rate limited, as was previously possible.
You can use https://lluminous.chat (bring your own key) to link to chats using any model across all LLMs.

I used to work for a consultancy. Usual practice there was: adjusting your team's individual CVs for a specific client. This is not about lying. It is about highlighting relevant skills and experiences for a project and not listing those which are irrelevant. There is no way you can "tune" a CV that is completely off-topic, but in many cases (since generalist have so broad experiences) there is a way.
I've posted this before and I know it's a cliche, but this really is Goodhart's Law at work with the benchmarks becoming targets.
I agree that openai is somewhat sketchy about this, but they're sketchy about everything. In the past though they have admitted up front to data contamination (e.g. the original gpt-4 press release did not use big-bench as a benchmark due to data contamination). For the Putnam in particular: this is not a benchmark that they use. There is no reason to exclude it since it is not part of the "test set" in any meaningful sense.

> allow H1-B visa holders to move between jobs; don't tie it to one company.

I'm not super familiar with the rules, but there is a way to transfer to a new company, and IIUC, that's not part of the cap, and I think you're allowed to start at the new company while the application is pending rather than needing to wait for it to be processed.

I don't know if this is current, but I had heard that pending permanent residency applications would reset if you switched companies. That's a huge deal if your birth country has a long backlog on greencards because of the per country limit.
There are major changes coming to H-1B. If I were dependent on it either as a worker or employer, I would start making contingency plans immediately. The Trump admin and its core constituency are most united on immigration issues, so the political will is there. Any nascent challenge to that will has been utterly crushed in my view as MAGA decisively won the past week's debate on X against the Musk/Vivek libertarian contingent. Beyond the emerging consensus on the Right though is how well anti H-1B messaging plays with the Left. And the existential H-1B threat to the white collar worker means that influential segment of society will be rooting for its downfall, some more loudly and more conspicuously than others.

Overall a perfect storm of political consensus and will. The cherry on top is the ease with which the program can be curtailed or limited. It's not like solving healthcare... All of this points to major immediate action.
> How does the FE prove to the backend that you actually killed the monsters?

Doom is fully deterministic so you could record the players inputs and replay them on the server to verify that the kills actually happened. Some games actually do that to make cheating their online leaderboards more difficult, because it's a lot more work to fake a record-setting replay than it is to just submit a fake score, and even if you do fake a working replay it might not stand up to human review.
D-Day was done in response to violence (starting with the invasion Poland in 1939), not speech. Protection of political speech is the bedrock of American civilization.

It's funny, if you want to find the truly most loathsome of your fellow citizens, just browse your state's public sex offender registry. How many "punch nazi" types would endorse assaulting these people? Probably none, not even for the ones politically organizing and advocating for their "cause" (the "MAPS" types)--which is the correct attitude for a civilized society.

(1) JooQ shines for query generation. For instance at work we have a search engine that can search maybe 50 fields that are mostly materialized but involve the occasional subquery. Also you can easily write a template method like

transitiveQuery(selectClause,relationshipGenerator,where1,...)

and have type inference do the right thing in the compiler and IDE and all of that. You get "hygenic macros", you can write an Java class which is parameterized by one or more related tables which can be specialized by adding more parameters, subclassing, etc.

(2) Circa 2005 coding PHP I came to the conclusion that the ORM I needed was

insert(table,{col1: val1, col2:val2, ...})

because writing simple inserts and updates against SQL is for birds, let freshers do it and they will forget to escape something. Such a "framework" can be so simple that you can bend it to the needs of your application. JooQ gives you something like that but backed by the Java type system.
I generally frown on calculating market size like this, but 10% of the top 1B is 100m, if 1% of those paid a dollar a month, that is a million a month. Good for 100 fang eng.

My understanding is that it's in vogue to use deep learning for complex control problems, and the results are fairly impressive. The idea is to train robotic motion end to end with RL. Not an expert so I don't know the strength and weaknesses versus classical approaches.

I just finished reading Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson’s book “Power and Progress” where they talk about how the leaders in the technology space is (unfortunately) able to set the direction of the technology according to their goals, not humanity’s goals. This is an excellent example of such power. NVIDIA wants to expand its business and pushes the industry to use more and more AI, which highly depends on their cards. Now all the VCs put billions of dollars towards this goal, thousands of Phds spend all their time, and companies change direction of business to catch the AI hype. Not necessarily because we decided this is the best for humanity, just because it’s the best for NVIDIA.
