Hi Peter, thank you for doing this AMA. I am on H1B and I recently lost my job. I only have about 50 days left to get a new job but I have a spouse who is on his own H1B. I wanted to see and find out legal and smooth options to buy more time for myself to find a new job - If anything, it would be those options that do not need me to leave the country and get stamping, if at all. My country of citizenship is India, by the way. If you can help us out, it would be really great. Thank you.
Realistically in order to prosper the UK needs to join up as part of a "greater NAFTA" trade bloc. But the UK no longer has anything that the USA needs so they'll have to make major concessions to get a deal done.
This unit is most useful in the context of VR headsets/displays. In that context changing the fov through the lenses on the same screen would lower the effective resolution which is shown through ppd.
Is that so bad if that’s the cost of independence? Go after profiteers ruthlessly however.
But you can do the same with GitHub, right? Although most docs and articles focus on 3rd party actions, nothing stops you to just run everything in your own shell script.
Yeah, totally fair. I guess it’s a very subjective opinion, given I grew up in the west, and was introduced to the iPhone era gradually. Like i went through Internet of 90s, desktop apps, old laptops, PCs and etc., and then eventually landing on daily iPhone usage. I can see how it might be a bit different if you went from most using nothing to Android/iPhone society.

That being said, they still use apps like Chrome, Safari, all the other common apps like ours. So they have both UXs available for them, I guess.
You really need to be calculating costs based on seasonal performance (SCOP) which is going to depend on your area. In my climate the worst case COP is around 2, but the seasonal performance of an air-to-water heat pump would be between 3.5 and 5, depending on various factors.

Granted it doesn't make a difference in your example because your gas is cheap at $0.05/kWh, but for me (EU), the price for natural gas would be around $0.11/kWh while electricity is around $0.25/kWh.
Yes.

What's the correct English word for that?
TikTok also has an enormous shadowbanning problem so your complaint here is moot.
What is the typical route for Canadians to work in the US tech sector?
UK Trident missiles are leased from the US. Also, Much of the technology in the UK program is from the US, and the french tech was developed independently.
I have a friend who is a foreigner, and is in a master's CS degree program in the US. He's married to an American woman as of a few months ago.

What is the reasonable amount of time it should take for him to be able to get a green card and work here in the US?

And is there something he can do to help expedite any process(es) (maybe not a greencard?) so he can legally work and support himself and his new family?
I always interpreted the hard part was not looking at something and naming it accurately, but the impossible ask of predicting future use & context (much of it not in your control) and somehow getting that right.
Prusa’s primary audience has been people who don’t want to tinker.

I think they just screwed up the design of the MMU but they never went back to the drawing board.
Right, he did incite that attempt to violently overthrow the peaceful transfer of power on Jan 6.
This model doesn't really exist for movies / tv series. Closest you can get are DRMed discs which which you can then rip into DRM-free files ... thanks to friendly pirates sharing the keys needed to access what you bought.
I don't really get how you can have a pardon when someone hasn't been prosecuted yet. Is there any chance this will be challenged in future?
When you say Cursor automatically runs it, what do you mean?

Do you have a custom task set up in tasks.json, that's triggered by a keyboard shortcut?

If so, how do you feed it the test error? Using ${selectedText}?
Although I haven’t used these new models. The censorship you describe hasn’t historically been baked into the models as far as I’ve seen. It exists solely as a filter on the hosted version. IOW it’s doing exactly what Gemini does when you ask it an election related question: it just refuses to send it to the model and gives you back a canned response.
We can carry the flag for the US in the war of trying to dominate the planet. I think it is a worthy goal.
At least some of the time an enum doesn't agree with itself it's an import graph issue where the enum is getting imported from more than one place (perhaps because of multiple versions of a dependency in the middle) and the nominal typing is getting overly conservative that those things despite the same contents may be different things. I have a supposition that this is indirectly because what remains of nominal typing is Symbol types and Symbols do have to be extremely careful about import boundaries, especially when bundlers are involved.

The part about that plan that worries me is the ageism in software. I'm mid-forties and it's something I think about a lot for when I have to get a new job.

Anyone young should go make as much money as possible, as early as possible, so they can have the same outlook you do in later life.
Not the same. I currently have to satisfy myself with Grafana at my homelab and a mix of Grafana and more enterprisey tools at work.

At the individual node level, everything happens so fast there is no way a human could perceive those events.

I used to say in college that some of the things we saw (in EE) were so small and so short we needed instruments to know they actually happened (storage scopes, high-performance probes, etc). Even then, a lot of what we do was very abstract.

Expect hype and relentless marketing to continue
no, it hasn't been their clear plan all along, and blaming the victims is not advocating for open source 3d printers. Fully open source, DIY 3d printers that are available today suck compared to Bambu. The commercial offerings built on top of Orca (I have a magneto X) suck compared to bambu.

The 3d printing community just slapped down heygears for similar BS to what bambu is pulling right now. Once Bambu hire some better software devs and sort out their issues, open access will return, I bet.
> Twitter was supposed to be the new SMS, or text message protocol, but that never happened. RSS is an example of a protocol in that space.

Did you mean RCS instead of RSS? I can see it going either way.

Local councillors being against development is nothing to do with bank bailouts, which have (mostly) been repaid by selling off the banks again.
Can you describe the changes that we are anticipated to see as a result of the change in the administration?
I believe you flipped things, PPD does change based on distance, DPI does not. This change based on distance is a feature since when you're really close to a screen it does lower the visual clarity.
A few questions regarding the EB-5 visa. Is this still a realistic path to a green card, and if so, how complicated is the process if you want to take the targeted economic area route through a regional center? Do the investments through a regional center usually persist, or in other words, how high is the risk of the underlying business going bankrupt based on real experiences? There's plenty of articles about all of this online of course, but would be interested in hearing any first hand experience you might have.
I've been really curious about the economics of US immigration for foreign workers in information work (software, data, etc).

What are the primary drivers of someone wanting to immigrate to the US vs working remotely, and on the corporate side what is the incentive to sponsor immigration with great outsourcing available? Obv. Hardware or physical professions are NOT the same. Personally, I'm happy to move for work, but many people seem reluctant to leaving their family, friends, and life for a job. How much of a factor does signaling play into it in your opinion? How much of a factor do business conditions in the United States impact things?
Also "decimate" which used to mean "kill 1/10th of the soldiers", but now apparently means "destroy (almost) entirely". :)

It seemed well reasoned to me... ?
Effective collaboration and code ownership for managing microservices systems
My guess is that Darkmont is simply Skymont with a different name due to being 18A with different cache design.

But I hope Intel prove me wrong and bring in something even more exciting.
I considered renting out some Pioneer equipment to add RekordBox playlist writing support, mainly because I'm in a similar situation. Mixxx does have support for reading USBs & SD cards, but not writing ;_;

Unfortunately it's far down my priority list given the cost, my unfamiliarity with Mixxx development and that I rarely do anything without Mixx.

But this is absolutely what ecosystem grants/bounties should be for.
Being able to set up a node project like a web server without configuring or maintaining any build steps is pretty nice.
did a startup -- had wrong visa class -- angry employee called CBP -- got picked up passing through JFK -- 10 year ban -- is permission to reapply actually a thing or a dead-end process? -- thanks --
My point is that none of this is truly dependent on the existence of TikTok, which OP does not be seeming to be arguing, even slightly. The internet is a revolving door of gathering spaces that enable people to do nice things for each other. People can do nice things for each other anywhere, even when surrounded by the digital equivalent of two-way mirrors.
The only reason they even need this further hack is because people can reasonably assume that 1 is bool.

Now, because of this confusion, they’re special-casing 1 to actually mean 0. But other integers are still themselves. They’ve also now added logic to make "yes", "no", "true", "off“ strings be interpreted as booleans now too.
Also played around with moai back in the days when Doublefine had their Kickstarter and choose it as the base framework. But I found it hard to make the jump between c++ and lua etc. The docs made the decision when to write what simple. Everything lua until it becomes a bottleneck. But when to start from nothing this decision is still hard. Pull a lib and expose it to Lua or try to write the lib in Lua? Stuff like that. I needed a basic triangulation algorithm for 2d shapes and implemented that myself from a paper about the ear clipping algorithm. Fun times. All hobby stuff just for fun and games.
Can you share the program that reads the now playing track? We use Mixxx at a student radio station and we could maybe try using something like this to show the now-playing track on the website.
When the UK had its industrial revolution it had an empire. I’d say dropping to 16 is pretty fair given its size and influence today.
No we don’t. They were presumably trying to avoid any sort of discussion of that type. What would you have preferred they say?
Is this what you're referring to when you're talking about more elegant alternatives? Come on. You're not going to convince anyone with this.
Yes, they also had very bad hardware in the past. That does not say anything to their current level of exports.
The testing pyramid is an outdated economic model
I think this is a peculiarity of the short-term travel eSIM providers (like Airalo). If I recall correctly, when I went to Bermuda, the Airalo eSIM would route the traffic through Isle of Man. They have some of the most odd agreements with random telecoms to get coverage and cheap rates.

Partly I think it's skirting around local regulations (e.g. if a country required SIMs to be registered with the owner's information, but you provision the SIM from a nearby country's telco and route traffic through there maybe you can get around it).

But as far as I understand this has nothing to do with eSIMs and a lot to do with Airalo trying to cover every corner of the world for cheap.

We had a window into the administration 8 years ago and as a result we changed the way that we assessed and prepared cases to preempt fights and we continued with this approach during the Biden administration and will continue under the new administration until the fights start up again. I think that the most immediate significant changes in the area of legal immigration will be the imposition of international travel bans. We'll probably learn a lot in a few hours when the administration starts to roll out its Executive Orders.
A particularly ugly but useful feature of "const enum" (sadly, the "const" flavor of enums are not referred to in this documentation), is that it's the only way to declare a compile-time constant in TypeScript.

e.g. for "development" vs "production" environments, you could write a declaration file for each of those envs as such:

// production.d.ts

declare const enum ENVIRONMENT {
PROD = 0,
DEV = 1,
CURRENT_ENV = PROD,
}

And then write in your code something like:

// some_file.ts
if (ENVIRONMENT.CURRENT_ENV === ENVIRONMENT.DEV) {
// do something for dev builds
}

It will be replaced by TypeScript at compile-time and most minifiers will then be able to remove the corresponding now-dead code when not in the right env.

This is however mainly useful when you're a library developer, as you may not have any "bundler" dependency or any such complex tool able to do that task.

Here, the alternative of bringing a complex dependency just to be able to replace some constants is not worth its cost (in terms of maintenance, security, simplicity etc.), so even if `const enum`s may seem poorly-adapted, they are actually a good enough solution which just works.
The legal backing for DRM comes out of copyright legislation. Without that legal backing DRM is much less of an issue.

You can do that with either other solution.
Maybe never by the big players, but RDNA and even fp32 are perfectly fine for a number of CFD algorithms and uses; Stable Fluids-like algorithms and Lagrangian Vortex Particle Methods to name two.
I think it will be challenged because there’s a lot of controversy around Fauci’s funding of coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, that may come out under the new administration. On the other hand, it is possible that the new administration will view preemptive pardons as a useful tool for themselves.
My friend is on h1b. Can he join me as a co founder?

He has done zero work/contribution so far because he is tied to his sponsor.

I would like to have him as a co founder and would like any advice you can offer. Thanks!
> Since then the formulation has changed, now you get the usual palm oil. As far as ultra-processed foods go, is there anything worse than commercial ice cream?

The ice cream that Walmart sold from its own personal line was messed up. It did not melt as fast as other ice cream and was oily.

I'd rather eat no ice cream than eat that.

Most posted job positions in the US, that I see, explicitly state they will not sponser candidates. But how receptive are they to TN visa candidates and do you see that attitude changing in the near future?

That is only true and just barely for video. For any high-contrast and detailed elements, like text, there is a significant difference between 1080 and 4K.
An interesting thing about bikesheds is that sometimes they become bikefortresses: if 99% of the world (including the surrounding userbase, in the case of Rust) expects 0-based indexing, then the choice of something that uses 1-based indexing is harder to justify.

This doesn't make one better than the other, but precedent/familiarity does matter and represents a valid decision weight.
Obesity drugs: study highlights new health risks
Interested in your opinion on crowd-funding as a way of raising initial capital - ie cut out professional investors and go direct to potential customers?
This aligns with my experience. There's this GDC talk that really resinated with me about how side projects can help avoid burnout in the games industry: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zfJ9LLZQ9jo

It is counter intuitive that doing more unpaid work helps cope with doing paid work, but the whole premise iirc is that it is work you are in control of and that helps battle the lack of meaning and agency at work.

Of course this assumes you're not already too burnt out to even think about a side project.
This guy breaks the law in several countries with these things and is likely going to get in trouble with both the IRS and the companies contracting him. Remote work should happen, but it should be within the bounds of law, not outside it.
> The first plane ever flies, and people think "we can fly to the moon soon!".
Yet powered flight has nothing to do with space travel, no connection at all.

You eventually said winged flight much later-- trying to make your point a little more defensible. That's why I started explaining to you the very big connections between powered flight and space travel ;)

I pretty much completely disagree with your wall of text, and it's not a very well reasoned defense of your prior handwaving. I'm going to move on now.
True and I do distribute machines where I can and people are generally very happy about it. MacOS is still a very useful system compared to iOS. I hope they adapt the latter to the former and not the other way around.
I received notice of a successful i140 application (for eb1a) in September 2022 and have been waiting for the past 2.5 years for the dates to become current. The dates haven't moved past Feb 22 for the past 6 months or so. Any speculation on how these dates may move under the new administration?
Positing that India would have such pull with the SEC is quite a stretch of imagination
This was in Holland, one of the MVNOs. They had a crappy app and it would generate a different QR code every time (so they were not reusable).

And a lot of operators have restrictions on phones. Imported phones are often blocked (and also not given access to VoLTE).

For me it is a big deal if it charges "sim fees". I do swap my sims very regularly. For testing, or to put one in my tablet when I travel. I just want to be fully free to do as I please.

But luckily I only use prepay these days and none of the carriers here in Europe that do prepay offer eSIM anyway.
Yep. UK had post-war rationing longer than Germany did! Fabians were largely to blame for this state of affairs. UK caught back up, just about, in the 1980s, but the Conservatives went to seed at the start of the 90s and never really got fixed. It's the oldest political party in the world so it took a long time for people to give up on them but that's now finally happening.

Unfortunately the smear tactics against Farage over the years have been quite successful especially against the older generation that relies more heavily on TV for news. UK might face another election where the right splits their vote and Labour walk in again. Many decades of decline would be compounded at that point, putting the UK into more of a second world position.
What would you call the current setting that takes both string enums and deciseconds?
Thanks! I'll have a look at that.

Edit: Looks great but it's US only. But I think the one in the article spoke about a similar solution.
Do you see potential for better software design and simulation tools including VR to reduce the need for physical prototypes?
This is just behind a feature flag like:

$ cargo add mlua --features lua54,vendored

Then mlua will statically build with the Lua sources it bundles itself and no need to link the system Lua or do anything other than "cargo build" like normal.
