> I'm not an affected group by any means but I still share the disappointment in the world we see today vs the possibilities I felt tech would allow when I was younger. The tech CEOs I previously viewed as visionaries now just look like a new generation of socially regressive robber barons. I wanted to be one of those CEOs, these days I'm still not quite sure what I want to be.

Upvoted because I couldn't describe better how I feel if I tried. There were so many of these tech leaders who I looked at with such awe, and a lot of it was because they did have a set of skills that I didn't and that I really envied (namely an incredible perseverance, amount of energy, and ability to thrive under pressure, while I was often the reverse). So it's hard to overstate how disappointed I am with people (and really, myself for idolizing them) whom I used to look at with such admiration, who now I often look at with something that varies between dissatisfaction and disgust.

But I realized 2 important things: the same qualities that allowed these leaders to get ahead also figures in to why I don't like them now. That is, if you care too much about other people and what they think, it will be paralyzing in the tech/startup world - you do have to "break some eggs" when you're doing big things or trying to make changes. At the same time, this empathy deficit is a fundamental reason I think of a lot of these guys and gals (it's usually guys but not always, e.g. Carly Fiorina) as high school-level douchebags now. Second, it's allowed me to have a higher, more compassionate vision of myself. I used to feel bad that I wasn't as "successful" as I wanted to be, and while I do have some regrets, I'd much rather be someone who cares deeply about my friends and family and really wants to do some good in the world, as opposed to someone I see as just trying to vacuum up power and money under the false guise of "changing the world".

Is o3 that much better than o1? It can solve that Arc-AGI benchmark thing at huge compute cost, but even with o1, the main attraction (for me) seems to me that it can spit out giant blocks of code, following huge prompts.

I'm kinda ignorant, but I'm not sure in what way is o3 better.
The ITAR licensing around their export from the United States and the conditions under which they may be (including flowing down the restrictions clauses) don't expire, generally.
I love this game! It strikes me as conceptually unique amidst an expanding universe of word games, and the programming and design are simple but well-executed. Nice job!
Unfortunately, I can't provide that advice since I'm not representing you and your wife and don't "own" the case and know all the facts. All I can say generally is that it's important to provide financial documents (such as tax returns and W-2s/1099s), evidence of the bona fides of the marriage, and evidence of past and present immigration status.
That's how I feel. Everyone always has to have an "us vs them" methodology. Like you have to take sides. No thank you, I'm apathetic to the situation. I'm not going to deliberately make life worse for anyone or support it.

Curious—what useful things are you looking to work on right now? I'd love to learn more and help out.

In my opinion, this AI development stalemate is more layered. Big companies set such broad targets in a race to catch up with OpenAI that they lose focus on real use cases. So the loudest voices, those good at navigating internal politics, end up in a good spot to push their own ambition over actual customer needs or technical practicality. They set goals that sound just a bit more exciting than their peers, which pulls resources their way. But the focus shifts to chasing KPI's rather than drilling into real problems. Even when they know going smaller is smarter, knowing and doing are two different things.

It’s still a great time for small AI startups. My favorite kind is a team that quickly learn a business’s needs, and iterate toward the right interaction points to help. I think just staying focused on solving a lot of small related problems very fast, you can create something that feels like a real solution.

I dont think transgender are in the crosshairs of a political proxy battle. The issues is that many people feel disgust and hate over the idea of transgender. And whenever they become visible, they lash out and react.
I have to correct myself slightly -- the Brit engineers I do meet in the US often come here on an L1A/L1B intra-company transfer from a British subsidiary. So that's one path.

But yes, the visa path for UK citizen to accept a direct job offer is much more limited.
There is one straight forward causal mechanism - excessive money printing sends the monetary supply skyrocketing and directly drives inflation.

It's not hard to deal with inflation for the wealthy. You will generally have substantial wealth invested in inflation resistant appreciating assets, businesses can pass the inflation on to the customer, and so on.

But for labor it's a different story. Not only do you suffer far more from price increases with little in the way of offsetting assets, but inflation allows wages to 'secretly' grow stagnant or even decrease.

What I mean is that since e.g. 2020, the CPI has increased by 18%. So if you're not earning at least 18% more, you're more earning less than you did in 2020.

Without inflation this doesn't work. Workers' raises would actually increase their real earnings.

It's not hard to see how this single issue causally drives much of what happened in 1971 (and beyond.)

Notably the excessive money printing began somewhat before 1971 which is what caused the default that eventually happened in 71.

Yes.

If you have a problem with that, move to Europe.

The US is known for making money. Not for taking care of its citizens.
The word "just" in the GP implies that the author did intend for them to be mutually exclusive.
Wait until I tell you about the bootleg version I get get from China for $9 for 5mg bottle of Semaglutide. It lasts a month for me and works great. You have to mix it with Bac water yourself so there's a little prep and there isn't a plastic infector. Have to inject yourself with a syringe. These are 3rd party tested so there is some level of safety involved.
Besides, the whole bathroom thing is so old hat. You know what I hate in a bathroom? Other people. Of any gender. Thankfully, stalls have doors.

I miss the days of Ally McBeal when unisex bathrooms were hip and the future.
But if you consider humanity as a whole, even the lowest decile US citizens are extremely privileged in terms of economic state. Even if you live on food bank, you're still much more privileged than most humans.

So either all western people can't complain at all without being hypocrite, or we need to accept that one can be privileged in one way but vulnerable in another way.
The west is caught in a web of its own creation. We have basically incentivized the countries to get older by taxing the young to subsidize the rich.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way for democracy to correct this. older people vote and are wealthier. Both of those mean they have large political power.

Show HN: Namefinder.app – find ready to purchase domain names for your new idea
Wanted to play around with cloudflare's AI gateway offerings and came up with a fun little app that I've already found to be pretty useful (used it to come up with the domain for itself)

This will generate a list of domains that are currently not registered and give you a lil blurb on how you could utilize them

Seemed like something others might find useful / fun as well.

Responses might take a few seconds to pop up, may work on the ux a bit to make this less apparent later.
No, such random articles pop up often, and not necessary about Roman stuff.
Perhaps they want the real alternative: no AI.
I thing two parties can be assertive and allies.

Plenty of countries don't think the same things and are not at war, and they're not even allies...
Happens with Thai eSIM as well.

They have great roaming deals so I like having its eSIM always installed, but if I change iPhone I have to visit a store Thailand. Fantastic. I ended up switching it for a physical SIM card.
Heat pumps use electricity. If your electricity costs more than Nat Gas you may not save money. Seems obvious, do we need a whole website to explain it?
I’m on an H1B visa since 2017. I extended in 2021 and again in 2023 (thanks to approved I-140). But my visa stamp in my passport is from 2017 which expired in 2020. I haven’t made efforts to get another stamp mainly because of the pandemic in 2020 and long appointment backlogs thereafter.

Is there a necessity to always keep a valid visa stamp in my passport? Apart from the ease of travel are there any other reasons to always keep a current visa stamp in my passport? I do have all valid I-797 documents of status and have kept my status current all the time.
I wonder if it's because it's hard to do most things with LLMs in a reliable way when not supervised.

As programmers we complain about the ~1% from copilot-type models where the code is terrible. It is annoying but you can live with it.

A 1% error rate for many things, and with no bounds of how terrible the hallucinated error is, perhaps that's unworkable.

For example, Air Canada ended up liable for a discount which its AI chatbot made up.
Just to make sure I understand the recommendation: US based immigration attorney for a tourist visa? (I don't want to sponsor them and they have no intention of moving here - they just want to visit and see us & the kids).
Hi Peter, a European (Hungary) colleague of us visited Iran once and does not receive any Visa (tourist,...) because of that. He does not even receive answers to his renewed applications. Is there anything he can do?
They do that in China and if you search the net a bit you can get 5mg of Semaglutide for $9 a bottle. Requires a little work as you have to add Bac water and inject yourself but it works great.

Check if /tmp/update exists. If it does, you’re infected.
Single-material printing is perfectly fine if your intent is to use it as the base for further finishing. In general, I've found the Creality stuff to be pretty decent for the price; in particular, I use an Ender-3 series device (mine's a bit of an odd duck), along with an RPi3 running OctoPrint (with camera). I use Shapr3D for commercial interchange purposes, though everything just works.
This is a very important conversation to have right now. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing it.
> Who’s going to come off worse if they have an argument?

The US.

But 4 year election cycles and quarterly earning reports are incompatible with long-term planning.
I would think that your claim about "99% of people asking questions have literally zero interest in answers" applies more to 'both sides' than one might initially think.

Is either side open to being told "no", or at least "wait, we need to be more cautious about this"? Or do both sides just want their demands to be accepted?

Would either side actually back down if the research said that what they were doing was harmful or ineffective?
"over 50% of the country i live in are irredeemably terrible people" is obviously hyperbole -- if it were true, the onus would be on you to start taking action against those terrible people. but my guess is you don't actually think they're so terrible, because you're still working your 9-5 for your terrible-person boss, getting paid like every other schmuck, and you're happy to let those irredeemably terrible people deliver your DoorDash, teach your children at public school, and keep your electricity and water running.
No, the word "just" in "He's not a hero. He's just a guy" indicates that he's not a hero. "Just" applies to the "just a guy" part, not to the "entered business transactions" part.
> Right and wrong are largely a function of culture, not universal law.

Sure, but then you're handwaving away questions about why cultures align along similar axioms.
Right, but companies which have already invested a gazillion dollars into AI aren't going to entertain the idea that users simply don't want AI at all.
No, it's not, not right now at least. But I concede it might burst as the internet bubble did 20 years ago. It will then continue. It won't have as much as an impact as internet did imho, but on that point I can be very wrong.

You may as well wonder why there were railroad barons instead of railroads being public access.
Yup but still a poor attitude to have. I feel this way often times as a white male in tech, that they would rather hire literally anyone else if they can add some much desired "diversity" but I'm sure you would disagree that this is the case. Better for me to try anyways and have the best possible outlook even if I believe the cards are stacked against me.
It's a typo. Paul's term is "priggish".
And "political correctness" is a broad brush euphemism for, among other things, genderqueerness.

I'm not particularly strict on the terminology of whether a carbon sink is permanent or not (in my usage above it is not permanent). But yeah we are on the same page regarding the life cycle of a tree now so it is clear.
Wasn't it a craze around 1992?
Self-congratulatory, self-righteous prigs are all over the place within human society.

When people complain about them, the substantive content of their complaint is the context in which they issue it. For example pg is complaining about the prigs who nag everyone about transgender acceptance, but not the prigs who nag everyone to reject and abuse transgender people.

Matters of speech, manners, and decorum are convenient ways to launder the advocacy of a certain set of values. All you have to do is accuse your enemies of violation when they advocate, and stay silent when your allies apply the same tactics.

In order to consistently navigate politics, one needs to start with one's own values. That's why I posted my comment above. The core issue for me is whether transgender people can show up in their preferred gender. Not whether other people are annoying jerks when they talk about that question. There are plenty of annoying jerks on both sides of any value question, if one has the open eyes to see them.
>It is as credible as it gets.

It's as uncredible as it gets the moment you spend more than 1 minute thinking about it. Let's play this logically through.

In order to coerce the Netherlands to align with ASML Export Controls (With the assumption they do not already align with such policy), the US (Who exactly in the US, the famously No-New-Wars Donald Trump, or an isolationist Congress) is going to the invoke the Hague Invasion Act, to "free" nonexistent American officials that are held up by nonexistent criminal convictions by the Hague? And this will somehow coerce the Netherlands despite being completely unrelated to ASML which is located 137 KM away in Veldhoven?

Even the gritty details, how exactly is this "invasion" of yours going to work? You are going to send a battallion of Marines to attack the Hague, or are you going to Veldhoven 137 KM away to occupy ASML Factories or capture the ASML CEO? Which of the two? All the while provoking a kinetic war with a technologically-peer nation? Even if you do manage to do it, what then? Your supply lines are completely cut, enemy troops are moving in with greater firepower and numbers. Or are you assuming some kind of national invasion where the US Military is going to direct a CSG to attack the Dutch then some sort of occupation, likely within wider war against Europe which likely lead to quagmire of massive American casualties, all for the sake of "coercing" ASML not to export to China? And American people, US Congress, political rivals and the Democrats will just stand by instead of likely removing the incumbent?

The nonalignment is dubious. The motivation within individuals is non-credible. The mechanism does not exist. The invasion is highly improbable and self-defeating. The very fact that you label this as "as credible as it gets" should tell anyone that you and OP are either extremely uninformed, or being intellectually dishonest with an agenda to divide.

So zero data give by you to support your view that H1B lowers wages (as usual, because data shatters the fake narrative H1B lowers wages).

So according to you

1. H1B lowers wages,
2. America is known for making money
3. Yet more professionals from Europe want to move to the US than the other way around (as seen in this thread)

Don't you see how 2 and 3 contradict 1?

Also, despite H1B why are developer salaries higher in the US than in Europe?

Some of the disagreement or confusion seems to stem from the definition of the word "woke" which means different things to different people?

Having read both essays I don't see them necessarily in disagreement. pg criticizes the performative and orthodox nature of some social justice activists' behavior, however it doesn't seem that the author's behavior here is performative at all.

Perhaps we should just avoid these terms like "woke" and just say what we mean to avoid this societal dissonance? I feel like decent rational people can talk past each other depending on how they have been exposed to the term.
I am on H1b visa now. I filed my PERM one month ago. According to some people, it takes 1 year and a half to get my PERM approved and it takes another month to get my I-140 approved. But I want to jump ships soon. If I leave my current company, I will have to start everything over again (Prevailing Wage Determination, Labor Market Test, PERM). I feel I'm stuck in this company. What are the things I could do?
If the we earnestly believe that why would we need ownership and exclude most other corporations? Why aren't we pushing for FEC like oversight?

Seems to me that this strategy is as best not earnest and at worst only serves those in power.
That is a great question. Also ask why you don't even if nobody else does.

i have some ideas but my insight to europe is limited so I'm at least half wrong.
This worked for me, French carrier "Free", and install new eSIM while in Spain.

But now I have doubts, especially outside the EU: if it doesn't work, that would loose one of the advantages that I'd sort of expected eSIM to have: if your phone gets lost / stolen while abroad, you could just get a new eSIM from your carrier immediately, and set it up on your replacement phone.

In my case, my bank uses mandatory SMS 2FA for setting up their app on a new phone, thus making it impossible to make purchases with my card without having the being able to set up the app.

So I'd be back to the oldschool method of having a fried back at home set up the new eSIM, receive the 2FA code...
> does one cook ice cream?

Yes. Many recipes require heating of the ingredients.

Here is one example picked randomly: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/ultimate-vanilla-ice-cre...

"Step 4: Return the pan to a low heat and cook, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, for 8-10 minutes, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon."
The US president is not all-powerful. If he was, Trump would not have been forced to hand over power to Biden in 2020.

Certainly he is petty and vindictive. But there have always been petty and vindictive people in power, and people that were too scared of them to speak their mind. But there have always been those who still dare to criticize people in power.

Quitting a job before you even start is the height of efficiency.
I appreciate that post-Twitter there has been a push on Bluesky (and maybe Mastodon) to block, block, block. Don't feed the trolls, as they used to say but we seem to have forgotten. Just block them and move on. It is definitely a mental health benefit.
I find the qwq 32B a bit like that. I asked for a recipe for something in minecraft 1.8, and it was page after page of 'hmm, that still doesnt look right, maybe if I try...' although to be fair I did ask for an ascii art diagram for the result. It will be interesting to try a DeepSeek 32B qwq if that is planned, because otherwise pretty happy with it.

I just wish that less development chat was happening within walled gardens because none of these seem to be much help with Zig.
No, we don't "allign".

> So everyone fully admits that these countries are in fact "worse" in every way?

Considering money is the universal currency? Yes. Worse in every way.

Churches ask for donations. Women marry rich men. You can buy politicians. You can buy more expensive healthcare treatments.

I got "awkward" as my second word! I quit!

It should start with easy words and increase the difficulty later. A big part of the success of Wordle was a very curated list of words to guess.

(Does it show difficult words after I make a mistake?)

If I'm typing a word and I miss a key and then press two before I realize the mistake, then it counts as two negative points. Perhaps the program can stop giving negative points until the user press a correct letter.
I wonder if the US will end the restrictions if China pulls ahead in LLM ability, considering they serve no purpose if China's already ahead? Although given they seem to want to ban Chinese drones without any competitive local alternative, maybe not.
