Are you seriously suggesting that undocumented immigrants are immune from US jurisdiction in some respect? This sounds like a reverse version of the odd legal theories proffered by sovereign citizens as to why they should not be subject to judgements in US courts.

What WebGPU means for games and AI
A trend? People never capitalized anything on IRC in the early 90s. The only time I saw it was on forums and other longer forms of text. And then eventually everyone else joined the Internet and more formal writing became the norm. Not wanting to pointlessly capitalize letters is neither here nor there. It doesn't mean anything.
I've heard good things about LighthouseHQ from friends. The founder agreed to look my case over but then ghosted me. Unclear why, but I followed up and didn't hear back so
It's looking like China beat the US in AI at this juncture, given the much reduced cost of this model, and the fact that they're giving it away, or at least fully open sourcing it.

They're being an actual "Open AI" company, unlike Altman's OpenAI.

A good point. I should make sure I don't misuse a term of art. Thank you for the clarification/correction!

That would take some courage.

The federal government deciding to bring charges or not are a completely different matter from an executive order. If you can point to an executive order that "legalizes" marijuana when there are laws explicitly making it illegal, cite away. It would be news to me.

>Democracy needs enlightened citizens

Critical thinking makes one enlightened, not memorizing trivia that anyone can Google on a whim, like where Africa is on the map.

Understanding how democracy, taxes, politics, resources, compounding interest, inflation, lobbying, corruption, etc and ability to connect the dots between these, is more important for society than pointing at foreign continents on the map.
It's insane how much space there is in America, and most Americans don't realize this beyond a simple "america big".

I think this was the video?

The VLC media player app is pretty decent - not the best UI ever, but it's pretty good for what it is. It'll play almost any audio file you throw at it, plus most video files to boot. On iOS it's easiest to load media via the local webserver it runs for exactly that purpose, as apps are quite ringfenced when it comes to accessing data.
It is grayish but during the past 20 years I've only had one instance where the Consulate pushed back on the issuance of an O-1 visa because the applicant had an approved I-140. That was over 10 years ago and even in that case, the O-1 was eventually issued. So, for all intents and purposes, the Consulates view the O-1 as a dual intent visa. Also, there's some preparation that you can do before applying for your O-1 visa and attending your O-1 visa appointment to minimize the risk if this issue is raised by the Consulate.
Sure, but when you don't even have the automated process within your country then there are approximately zero jobs created of any kind. The Chinese own their own factories and make much of their own manufacturing equipment, even exporting some of it. We should be producing more of our own stuff and creating meaningful jobs for our citizens. Working on an assembly line or as a maintenance worker in a factory might strike some people as menial, but the alternatives for people with the same level of education are mostly worse.
What argument is being made by the parent? It’s a direct quote.
> We wouldn't normally expect Tim Cook to kowtow to the Chinese Communist Party, though

Why wouldn't we? They already do, and quite a bit.

They store Chinese user data exclusively in China on Chinese servers run by Chinese companies despite the obvious implication that the state has eyes into that data.

They censor apps out of the app store that violate Chinese policies and comply with requests for censorship, automatically deleting VPNs that could be used to bypass the firewall or news apps that could access free information. They censor information on Tianenman Square protests, and Hong Kong democracy.

They have modified iCloud encryption and air-drop settings to allow China to bypass them and limit time durations to make them less effective as tools in protest organization.

They make investments into Chinese companies, they maintain quiet neutrality on sensitive subjects that would imperil their relations with the state, they adapt to their markets and acquiesce their territorially disputed maps to China's requests, etc.
Right now there are many cases with visa administrative processing taking several years after o1 approval. Any changes expected here?
I can't remember the last time I needed enums. Usually they fall out of the code in one way or another

// in some util.ts or helpers.ts
export function keysOf<T extends string>(obj: { [k in T]: unknown }): readonly T[] {
return Object.keys(obj) as unknown[] as T[];
}

//---

const kOperationsFunctions = {
add(a: number, b: number) { return a + b; },
subtract(a: number, b: number) { return a - b; },
multiply(a: number, b: number) { return a * b; },
divide(a: number, b: number) { return a / b; },
};
const kOperations = keysOf(kOperationsFunctions);
type Operation = (typeof kOperations)[number];

I don't want to declare an enum here. That would just be a waste of typing and an opportunity for things to get out of sync.
Man, the future's gonna be crazy

Teaching a machine to read, how LLM's comprehend text
> Living a simple life is almost impossible, pursuing wealth is probably the only way to be secure in a simple life.

Maybe this seems true if you live in SF or NYC or are surrounded by people who are continuously preaching "high acheivement", but there indeed many people who lead a simple life. They don't have all the comforts that they could otherwise have if they pushed themselves to have more money, but they earn enough at their job for their own modest needs and contentment. It's the feeling that you always have to be reaching for the next rung in the ladder that creates anxiety.
how many people like this did meta have who had this issue and also had no access to a tampon, so that having it in mens' bathroom specifically was really important? what if I am a forgetful guy and I have socks with holes in them and I forget to buy new socks. Should meta bathrooms stock those socks? at some point this just becomes a bit absurd, no?
Thank you for keeping me from even opening the article. No caps just sounds like someone whimpering in a corner.
Yeah you are right let’s just say all tested are in the hallucinogenic class.
Yes. These types of hot takes only have force because most people don't pursue them. In a world where most people pursued a "little life", you'd see articles about the "quiet rebellion of ambition". Is either life better than the other? On what grounds? Is it not entirely dependent on the details of the life in question? Does no one understand the deep truth of the phrase "the grass is always greener"?
It is peaceful and I'm finding myself in a similar place at a slightly older age. Responsibility to others can indeed be draining. But I'd encourage you to see beyond ending yourself as an alternative. There's always another way to go forwards and grow.
Well, they're a pretty big employer, and not in the Randstad.
> why the hell those two?

Good question. I could probably write an entire essay about that but the TL;DR is that I thought that tenure and financial independence were the roads to freedom, which is what I really wanted. I also really liked (and still do) the college vibe, being surrounded by interesting people thinking and talking about interesting and weird stuff.
Depends on what you're using time for. If you are doing advanced anti-jamming for comms for instance, you want extremely accurate timing (more accurate means you can frequency hop faster and do better anti-jamming).
In the past, my knee-jerk reaction would have been "Yes, exactly!" Then I heard patio11's podcast on debanking[1]. It gave me some interesting views into fraud and compliance and $STUFF. Highly recommended.

It's not JS that's the problem per se, it's what JS is being loaded and very often that's a metric ton of marketing crap i.e. stuff for retargeting, tracking and many other modern horrors.
My 'Business School' Reverse Engineered Your Business School
"When I was a freshman in high school I stopped attending school regularly. I thought learning assembly and writing keygens were way more fun than geometry. I put the high school’s outbound number on call block so they couldn’t call my parents and spent my days learning as much as I could about reverse engineering software..."
In my social and professional circles I personally know several individuals who have a trans identity. Getting to know them a bit was actually what shattered the gender identity illusion for me.

If you consider the issue as a whole from a women's rights perspective, it should hopefully be less baffling.
Poor people often can't even make this decision because they can't afford to do either.
There is no appetite for increasing supply anywhere in the West. Maybe Trump will get us into WWIII and we can shift the demand curve.
Sibling comment mentioned Zelda but really this reminds me of the Zelda Randomizers.

Fixed set of items in a fixed set of locations. Certain locations need certain items to access. So therefore randomize which items are in which rooms while still being able to complete the game.

Then they have a door randomizer which changes where doors warp you to - effectively changing the map and potentially the order of items needed.
Agreed on the "pets" idea. I've even seen this from former Apple tech leaders. I've been one of the "pets" and it benefitted my career tremendously and, frankly, above my capabilities at the time; yet it gave me the opportunity to step in and fill out bigger shoes.

When I was there the stance on "intelligence" was that Apple doesn't advertise itself as "AI" or "ML". It just builds good products by any means and if it happens to use particular technologies, then fine. Not so anymore.
>What a strange and sad way to envision life.

What an entitled and 'holier than though' view. When you can't afford rent, groceries, education or medical bills due to inflation, and don't have a support network or family, what use is it to the Average Joe to be "enlightened" on random shit like pointing Africa on the map.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs (shelter, food, sex, relationships) will always take priority for most individuals over learning random pub-quiz trivia.

Keep in mind all that was written twelve years ago and the world has changed a lot since then.
Agree but at the same time talking about leaving the rat race and glorifying the simple life is old hat for anyone over the age of 25. It gets annoying reading trite advice written by someone that sees it as profound insight.

are they really missing, or is the shoe just on the other foot? i've been trying Bluesky for a month or so and it indeed seems to just be regurgitated memes and low-effort insults. the only difference is it's from a liberal/Democrat POV. the place comes off as an echo chamber sorely lacking in diversity of opinion tbh. if you go against the grain you'll be added to blocklists, which people seem giddy to use as to curate their echo chamber. hell, for daring to criticize the Democratic party from the left i've found myself on numerous MAGA and far-right blocklists. maybe this will change in due time? that'd be swell.
It seems like online doctors are the future for ease of prescribing medication. I know they're primarily trying to maximixe profits by getting your business, but they are also way less emotional about the process than your typical local doctor who seems to think their job is to judge you based on less-than-scientific factors.
I don't think it's an embarrassment, I think it's just a reflection of the limits of bombing and US power projection. The Houthis survived being bombed by the Saudi's with US & UK support for years. A few more air strikes and cruise missiles were unlikely to stop them.

The US alone has expended hundreds of missiles.

"That includes the firing of 120 SM-2 missiles, 80 SM-6 missiles, 160 rounds from destroyers and cruisers’ five-inch main guns, as well as a combined 20 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles (ESSM) and SM-3 missiles."[0] and 135[1] Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Aside from the cost, replacing these munitions will take years.

Barring an actual invasion and occupation of Yemen, it's not clear what the US & allies could realistically expect to achieve.

Rights holders are pretty good these days about notifying your ISP so they can send nastygrams threatening to terminate service. Usually there's something like a three-strikes policy.

So, safe torrenting involves either paying for a seedbox, or tunneling your client through a VPN.

The majority of Americans pay 0% tax. They get free healthcare via Medicaid or Obamacare, and get refunded any taxes paid by the EITC.

The richest Americans pay an outsized amount of taxes.

The upper middle class pays a very low tax rate. If your family income is less than $500,000 per year, your blended tax rate will be around 35%.

Europeans do pay taxes for their healthcare. You can't "hide" the taxes Europeans pay, that is illogical
Lot's of crying and seething from OpenAI bros .
I was assuming that you qualified equally for both visas but from an outcome standpoint, if the employing U.S. company doesn't qualify as a "blanket L" company, then it can be very tough to get an L-1B visa (which is for professionals/non-managers) because the process goes through USCIS. So, from an outcome standpoint, unless the employing U.S. entity qualifies as a blanket L company, it's much easier to get an H-1B visa.
Thank you so much both for your comment and for sharing your app! (there are definitely great tools out there that we're not aware of) I am very happy to find your app because I actually needed something like this! I enjoy listening while working and being able to see the transcription alongside it, with word definitions in context - this kind of learning really works for me! It's fantastic how it supports all those languages - you can listen, read, and look up definitions all in one place. Looking at this, the one I shared above looked very basic. You handle transcription, media playing, testing pronouncation, LLM interaction I guess for contextual meaning and examples... ! The only question I have (sorry if this already exists - but i couln't find it) but is there a chance I can see a list of words I've encountered and marked as known?

And for the second part, I'm planning to include SRS features @markvdb pointed out in comments, combining both contextual learning with SRS would be interested I guess.
there seems to be a common theme around not believing in the idea/product/people too deeply, thus leading to faulty or mis-step execution. would it be right to say that? a contrast to others who are not a "failure"?

mad respect to you for being open. thanks for sharing.
It's not an attestation problem, but a trusted pipeline problem. Yes, the required files are missing, but carrying them from official builds doesn't work either, because all pipeline from modem to kernel has to be signed, and the chain breaks somewhere, and you can't build it without the private keys Google/OEM has.

It's like Trusted HDCP pipeline. Every part has to be signed properly, and no open distribution of Android can do that, period.
Ah yes, that most well-known Icelandic innovation...
I see that the title from that U.S. site does not specify the wind chill in fahrenheit, but that's okay because at -45 it is about -42C, so almost equally brutal and not worth quibbling about when survival is at stake, especially if you have to take off your gloves and boots to count with your digits. It's a more likely wind chill for circumpolar and northernmost areas.

Without knowing all the details, it looks like you should have a solid O-1.
At a pivotal point in my career growth, I got stuck with a project I had grown tired of while a more stimulating project was being spun up with new hires. I was “too important” to the old project and shut out. I did not enjoy that experience.

I’ve always been a pretty decent writer, and a passable tutor. It wasn’t that I couldn’t divest knowledge to other people, we just hadn’t made the time. I never did get onto that other project, the company started spiraling before I convinced that manager the team could deal without me. But I have seen what happens when a senior person becomes the bottleneck, or when only one voice champions an idea in meetings, and I do a better job of carving out bits of subject matter to co-create with peers or bequeath to people I’m mentoring. There’s plenty of breathing room between Work Yourself Out of a Job and Being Indispensable, where you have enough capacity that you can participate in new ideas that strike your fancy.
why tenured? (I can't be sacked?). why startup? (well, why at all, but also cannot easily be sacked, should the startup actually work).

just my opinion, and not to badmouth, but this sounds like a somewhat insecure person.
It very much is, in the aggregate.
It was also pretty common in my cohort of Gen X who got on the internet back in the early 90s.

The Netherlands gets to continue purchasing F-35A fighters and participating in the NATO nuclear sharing arrangement. This is the ultimate guarantee of sovereignty which trumps any mere commercial concerns. Quid pro quo.
Failure here too I guess but my downfall per my experiences in dealing with many who made it to the biggest names in tech is my morality. I can't lie/cheat/steamroll over ppl to get to the top.
Even if you are managing it, you should still avoid it unless the hardware is designed so that it's inherently impossible for it to be used any other way. Otherwise you're financially supporting the problem.
Oh, certainly. I am not suicidal or depressed, but I simply do not see a point in living further if I had to work myself to exhaustion every day just to feed myself, or became severely ill. Having an escape button feels quite nice even if I'm not going to press it.
This resonated with me, but not in its original context in navigating large organizations - it reminds me of chewing on a tough open-ended math problem, or other situations where you try a 100 solutions to find one that actually works. I hope it’s the same concept here.

good for them but

> One of the first questions people ask when we say we are doing a spring batch is what letter we will use to refer to it since “S” is already taken for the summer batch. We considered something like “Sp” or “P” but one founder made the suggestion of using “X” since it's a common variable name in programming and thus makes sense since the name “Y Combinator” itself is a programming term.

This chain of reasoning seems totally disconnected? "While trying to come up with a single letter to denote spring, since S was taken, we decided on... a common variable name instead" ??? what happened to denoting spring in there? Am I missing some clever reference? Is spring in particular the season for common variables?

The spring constant (in physics) is denoted by the letter "k", why not use that? I know its not programming, but at least it denotes spring.
The incentive structure is broken right now. It costs ~4x to operate a heat pump compared to a gas furnace in California right now. Even with very low use and roof top solar my electric bill is $250 a month when, before heat pump it was $80 with heavier use.

Very interesting. I don't understand the US Constitution well enough to have an opinion (I'm a Brit) but the regulatory challenge is interesting.
