By default, all functions which are registered are available for use in a Run. It is also possible to explicitly attach a subset of functions to any given "agent".

It is possible to return what we call an Interrupt from within your function code [1]. When this is received, the run is paused until it has been satisfied. Inferable's control plane handles this not the model in case it isn't clear.

> why referring to an entire, diverse bunch of people as "H1Bs"

Even though you seem to be getting downvoted aggressively, I’m going to provide a short, good-faith reply.

First, I’m not Peter, and I’m not an immigration lawyer, but I can provide insight as someone who knows and has worked with many H1Bs.

Second, this thread covers the major points, imho:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskALiberal/comments/1huxnn1/why_is...

For tech folks in particular, I think that there are two particular pain points that cause H1Bs to be referred to pejoratively sometimes (which I think is what your underlying issue is with):

1. Companies like Infosys that are gaming the system aggressively, often times using dark patterns. Net loss for the economy, and unnecessary stress on the immigration system, imho.

2. Qualified Americans losing their jobs (e.g., relatively recent layoffs) and struggling to find work. Meanwhile, H1Bs remain employed and new ones are added regularly. This doesn’t pass the sniff test of “lack of talent” in the domestic market. Additionally, folks on the inside know that the reality is that either the company is gaming the hiring/h1b system and/or the company has a broken hiring process.

Note that I don’t necessarily advocate for a rapid and aggressive culling of h1b workers like some do, but the h1b system could definitely use some improved oversight and/or refined regulation. It’s being abused at scale by multiple actors.
> H-1B visa holders are tied to their sponsoring employer.

Thanks, that answered my question. I have no intention of working in the US at the moment, just keeping myself informed in case i ever change my mind.

Tbh I thought some random HNer would post an explanation before you got to this.
Yes, fair point!

I tried to reflect on some lessons from this, because I learned from the experience that small things (e.g. the title) can make large differences.

Which means that often good ideas or nice articles might get unrecognized, because they lack a good "packaging".

Making sure those things are on point helps.

But that should be it.
> But a vague, unsubstantiated feeling that one day, you might introduce a one-off indexing bug should not justify discarding Lua, and all its substantial benefits over project.

Nobody said anything like that. There's no vague feeling of indexing bugs; there's a concrete degradation of code quality.

And yes it's only one factor, not a deal-breaker. Nobody here said it was.

1. I would recommend applying to renew your green card as well because it's not clear how long the naturalization process will take under the new administration. Regarding potential complications, last time he was in office, I didn't see any extra issues/delays with my Iranian clients becoming citizens.
2. This process could be impacted because she's outside the U.S. and it's easier for the administration to impact those outside the U.S. seeking immigrant (green card) visas through a U.S. Consulate than to impact those in the U.S. seeking to obtain green cards through USCIS. I don't think it matters whether you get married sooner.
3. Possibly but as you know, even Iranians applying for F-1 students visas can be subject to significant delays.
Yes, I expect there are immigrants standing in the way.

I don't get why is there so much energy wasted on these non issues:

Leave it to the doctors/counsellors/psychologists and parents. They know best. If my kids wanted to change their gender I would sure appreciate if the state wasn't making it any more difficult.

> b. People with male musculature competing in women's sports leagues.

So a man won a boxing match with women. Who cares? Sports are entertainment. They have never been fair. Women boxers have a federation they can decide themselves who gets to play with who. No need for state to get involved.
That’s really awesome
Sorry, but I think it's bullshit. I understand why they would write some paper with threats to put some pressure on Netherlands, but actually acting on it is completely ridiculous if you do a very simple pros and cons balance.

I’m constantly baffled and amused on why AMD keeps majorly failing at this.

Either the management at AMD is not smart enough to understand that without the computing software side they will always be a distant number 2 to NVIDIA, or the management at AMD considers it hopeless to ever be able to create something as good as CUDA because they don’t have and can’t hire smart enough people to write the software.

Really, it’s just baffling why they continue on this path to irrelevance. Give it a few years and even Intel will get ahead of them on the GPU side.
EEG and fNIRS interactions: A multimodal network analysis of brain connectivity
EEG captures faster changes in neural activity, thus providing a more precise estimation of the timing of information transfer between brain regions in RS. fNIRS provides insights into the slower hemodynamic responses associated with longer-lasting and sustained neural processes in cognitive tasks. The multilayer approach outperformed unimodal analyses, offering a richer understanding of brain function. Complementarity between EEG and fNIRS was observed, particularly during tasks, as well as a certain level of redundancy and complementarity between the multimodal and the unimodal approach, which depends on the modality and the specific brain state. Overall, the results highlight differences in how EEG and fNIRS capture brain network topology in RS and tasks and emphasize the value of integrating multiple modalities for a comprehensive view of brain connectivity and function.
I feel we are talking past each other so I will leave it at that.

The specialization you ... expect? is irrelevant.

Business jets are not produced in China, large efficient passenger jets are not produced in China, printed silk scarves branded Hermes, silent diesel electric submarines for export are not produced in China. (See what I did there?) And that's irrelevant to why trade exists.

Even an up-to-the-minute super competitive manufacturer has no incentive (except political and some risk-aversion) to do everything in-house or in one country. It does have incentives to trade with other countries and other companies. Even if it possibly had the machines and low cost employees on hand and already trained to do that, from an economics point of view it should (in the long term), sell some production units, focus on the others and trade for the difference.
I haven't seen that. The delays I've seen are for those from certain countries (such as Iran or Russia) or for those whose area of expertise/study is subject to export control laws/concerns.
The U.S. is so freaking behind on EVs.

China went from making cars with 3 gears and lawn mower engines (practically speaking) to mass EVs in like 15 years.

Meanwhile here the big automakers are crying about unfair competition and Chinese subsidizes. Free market sucks when it's not in your favor anymore, ain't it?
Good one. I really do hope that these things don't "feel" anything and we're not inflicting anguish or boredom on a massive scale to sentient beings.
I’m not sure I’d phrase it as the precondition to getting it is giving it up. I think the precondition is a shift in our values and as you describe the Organizing system of society. We already could provide pretty reasonably close to abundance with today’s resources and outputs, we just don’t organize it that way. To get to super abundance we need to be both focusing on building up different forms of production and winding down worse forms. It’s not giving up on abundance of everything, but abundance of a toxic fossil fuel focused energy system
> As I see it, one way to phrase the problem is that Linux (along with its ecosystem) isn't really user-focused either.

Maybe because I am tech-literate, but I find Linux so much more user friendly than OSX.

Linux Mint is what I have running in my personal computer, and I can't remember the last time it got in my way of doing anything I wanted. Amazing OS, that has no right of being that good and stable while also being free - reason why I make a yearly 20 bucks donation out of gratitude.

Meanwhile there's not a single day that I don't curse at the MacBook I am forced to use for work. I have no idea how Apple has so many fanboys with that shit OS. Maybe people really like to have a slick looking toy, no matter if actually using it is an awful experience.
Yes, I think so too.

> I'm not sure if I missed a point you were getting at with this? Lua array table indexes start at 1.

The code example is

mt = {} -- create the matrix
for i=1,N do
for j=1,M do
mt[i*M + j] = 0
end
end

What index do I use to access the first element in mt? It isn't 1!

If this was written using 0-based indices then the answer would be zero.
The law distinguishes between the two so from a practical standpoint for me, the answer is yes.

How much RAM and Disk do you have in Prod?
I was talking to a friend and said there aren't _that_ many companies with the scale to truly justify FAANGesque solutions. I've only had two projects where a server couldn't just hold all hot data in 256gb. For most, services I've seen, a laptop + hard drive would suffice.

I'm curious how big the DBs you touch are, how much ram all your microservices use or other such metrics.

> Has it occurred to you that nobody talks about sellouts anymore?

It hasn’t occurred to me. Because it never stopped being a thing. Activist turned upstart politician turned career politician? Very likely to be a sellout. There are recent examples. Band which had a distinct, underground style but then went big with a mainstream sound? Well now you get into mind-reading since some bands just change their sound. But “sellout” is a charge that people could levy at them.

Agreed.

If we accept any other explanation for what Elon was doing there, then we also need to accept that he somehow cannot see how this would be seen as a pure fascist signal. We also then need to ignore his public opinions, "true"/"concerning" comments on what remains of Twitter, and his recent / very public donations and commentary on world politics centering on "Nazi-adjacent" communities to accept the former.

That's a lot going on for the CEO of (3) companies (last I checked) with gov't contracts and investor/founder of several other adjacent and frequently intertwined related orgs.

Oh, and he's apparently one of the best Diablo IV players globally.
Everyone's circumstances are different. There are plenty of early retirees with similar backgrounds to my own that have kids (Mr. Money Mustache himself has a kid, for example, and retired at 30!) We currently have no kids. But I find the "kids are expensive!" thing is usually pretty overblown / not very creative about solving any problems. Kid spending is similar to the emotional and socialized high-spending expectations that plague the wedding industry. If one applies the same creative simple living strategies outlined in this article, there's no reason kids should increase one's expenses _that_ much. Saving up an extra $100k per kid is probably more than enough, and wouldn't delay an early retirement by more than ~6 months to a year in most cases.

> The example.{com,org,net} domain was created for this purpose, of a valid but not real domain.

No it wasn't. IANA is hosting example.com and paying for the traffic.

example.com is a writing convention to provide safe examples in documentation. The reason example.com exists, is to make sure documentation writers can use a domain, make it obvious it is an example, and make sure nothing bad comes up with a user happens to click it.

The fact that example.com is a domain with a DNS record is irrelevant to its intended use. IANA is doing the internet a favor by preventing confusion, and it is rude to send them a bunch of traffic.

As mentioned in another comment, I think it's sad if one writes an amazing article but it stays unrecognized or gets little traction simply because the title was a bad choice.

But at the same time, we have lived long enough with clickbait to know it works (unfortunately), and this shouldn't become a place where people are lured into low-quality posts.
Steve Jobs was connected: By being raised in Silicon Valley at just the right time. He even had a story (who knows how true it is) of him as a kid looking up Bill Hewlett in the phone book and asking about electronics parts (a frequency counter IIRC) and Bill not only got him the part, but gave him a summer job.

As for business, many successful tech entrepreneurs “learn” it either as they go or by bringing on business experts, but not giving them full control. For larger examples of the latter, see Eric Schmidt as the “adult in the room” for Google, Sheryl Sandberg for Facebook.
Anyone making a gesture of that sort is going to get an enormous amount of media. It was outrageously poorly considered to anyone with any knowledge of history, especially in such a venue and situation.

Most people don't make gestures that can so easily be misunderstood as a sieg heil.

Now add in Elon's many, many weird overlaps with white supremacy -- not to mention that we can't ignore the weird correlation with Musk, Sacks and Thiel all being outputs of apartheid South Africa, all three showing certain predilections -- most recently heralding a notorious far-right German party AfD, and it takes just incredibly gymnastics to pretend this was benign. That the obvious interpretation was, as the other person said, wink wink nudge nudge encouraged.
I don't have exact numbers but my understanding is/was the US-led wars into Iraq and Afghanistan didn't cause millions of deaths but the insurrections against the governments established afterwards did. Iraqis killing other Iraqis, Afghans killing other Afghans.

Ooops you did it again! Good analysis.

Yeah I think that's the only plausible reason. Quite patronising but I think it probably came from an honest "make programming more accessible to non-programmers" place. They just forgot that the rest of programming exists...

The nonimmigrant visa applications of those who get day 1 CPT tend to be scrutinized more closely but as long as the program is real, the visas eventually get issued. And the same for green card applications. While this might result in greater scrutiny, green cards get issued if the program is real. So if you go this route, just make sure it's a legit program (classes, homework, tests, etc.). The other option is the O-1. Of course I don't know your background but the O-1 is one option those who don't get selected in the lottery look at.
