Angular measurement is the natural unit to be talking about. What does a switch to a length measurement at an arbitrary distance add to it?
Hey Peter! Thanks for doing this!

I’m trying to understand the dual intent nature of O1A. I’m a PhD student with EB2-NIW and EB1A approved. Unfortunately, I am not expecting a green card in the next 6-12 years due to my country of birth.

I am eligible for O1A, but it seems like the dual-intent of O1A seems to be in grey area unlike H1B. Would I have any issues with O1A stamping in foreign embassies or during reentry given that I filed I-140 and showed immigration intent? Or is it safe to assume that O1A is also dual intent? Thanks!

It would have been nicer if they drew an informative diagram instead of spending a 1000 words trying to explain the phenomenon.

Is hacker news not social media? Or do you find that it works as a form of social media that is “good” whereas all these other forms you’ve abandoned are “bad?”

If it’s a simple matter like that, what ideas could other social media take from HN to improve?
Ahh. I honestly miss that amount of self-expression, garish as it was. Or rather, I intensely dislike the mono-culture where every vertical video with one-word subtitles looks the same.
All good questions but outside my limited area of expertise (US immigration). You should consult an international tax expert.
And spaces! They don't even have any content, just the wasted space! Let's drop those too.
Most people learn it once and then they go around the city largely on autopilot. Some stress is there but more manageable. Doing on autopilot is not possible in large orgs, or if it's possible it's prone to make you feel unfulfilled instead of burned out.
Sadly no longer true. :(
And people who only honor power usually solve these disagreements using violence.

To avoid this outcome being common, we created a monopoly on violence inside states so disagreements have to be solved via courts and not violence.

We don't have this in geo politics.
The AI Boom Is Giving Rise to "GPU-as-a-Service"
This is a very uninformed take. It's not a Cargo or Go problem, it's a C problem. It only works well with Zig because Zig goes to insane lengths to hide the problem.

In fact it's so much of a C problem that lots of people even cross-compile their pure C code with Zig, because Zig handles all of the C mess!

In theory your argument could be good, in practice the state is governed by the same horrible people that run corporations, and at least with corporations they topple over every 25 years.

So yes I’d prefer not to let leeches take my money by force to give it to media, worst of all to tell the things they said against whites during the last 4 years. I mean, the proof that they’re bad is exactly what you paid them to say recently.
>I’ve had plenty of early success and validation of all my market theses, but it’s super hard to get any investors interested. Plenty say “exciting” and want to chat. All lose interest when you start talking funding needs and path to market.

I started a non-tech food product company, and have found the exact same thing to be true in my line of work. It's odd.

Here's a conversation I recently had with a potential investor.

"You've got a years worth of sales to convince me you have found ideal PMF?"

Yes.

"You've found the resources you need to scale to the degree that I'd get a good return if sales continue to grow?"

Yes.

"You've built a small team with some industry vets, and have some great talent on your advisory board who know the ups and downs of building a brand and product in your chosen space?"

Yes.

"You've boostrapped your way to $100k in revenue, have developed a cult-like following in your local market and are seeking a small amount to be able to grow the product to a state-wide or nation-wide scale?"

Yes.

"How much do are you looking to raise?"

Not a lot by modern standards. A million dollars would last us several years

"Why should I invest in you? Your industry's traditional exit valuation isn't triple digit. Sorry"

Why the fuck did you come to me and ask for this meeting?

>In short, the whole tech industry has been spoiled by easy SaaS wins over the past decade, and that’s all that most investors are willing to even consider.

This needs to be echoed from the rooftops. And seen by a whole bunch of investors/VCs whose hubris has prevented them from investing in anything else.

I have not been able to find the source for the 9esim app, but it is derived from the code for the JMP app so they are pretty similar I think.
>I'd be truly curious to know if there are any MechE programs where a fresh graduate would have ever heard the term "feeds & speeds".

Germany has dual degrees where you both learn a trade and get a degree. If you are doing this for Mechanical Engineering you definitely will learn this.

Degree programs also have required internships and there are definitely courses which you can take during your degree. I would be surprised if there weren't a majority of mech eng graduates who would know the basics of milling.
Yes.
But esim.me high prices, clunky kyc and other issues left plenty of room for competitors.
The main advantage of the L-1 relative to the H-1B is that there's no lottery so the U.S. company can sponsor you for an L-1 at any time. The main advantages of the H-1B relative to the L-1 is that it's transferable from one company to another and can be renewed indefinitely if you are in the green card process. Regarding which one is better from a green card perspective, the response is that your underlying status has no bearing on your green card options so both are fine.
You don't make a typo, press enter and then start reacting to the typo.

You start reacting to the typo as you're typing. You just won't get to the end of your reaction before you've pressed enter.

The point of my combo comment is that pressing Ctrl + C is not the same thing as typing two random letters of a random word.

Combine these two things and I think it's possible for somebody to interrupt a command going out. The question is whether you can press Ctrl+C while typing faster than 100ms, not whether you can react to it within 100ms.

Also, people regularly type faster than the speed that pro StarCraft players play at. The sc2 players need the regedit because they will need to press Z 50 times in a row to make 100 zerglings as fast as possible, but you don't need that to type.
You're right! It took 7 minutes according to chrome dev tools but the state and city did eventually show up. Then my credit card's fraud protection declined the order so I had to go back and watch the spinner spin for another 5.2 minutes but I eventually was able to purchase one.
> That python code is horrid.

Just out of curiosity, why do you find the code horrid? There are really only 9 lines of code that aren't glue code, and apart from the error prints (which are really irrelevant for these demonstration purposes), the code looks basically fine to me.

EDIT:

seen = []

if set(seen).isdisjoint(orbit(b)):
seen.append(b)

Ah, well...

EDIT 2: also, see comment below, it's not Python
GC'd languages are used all the time for this. C# is a huge language in game development, for example.
Excuse? This whole thread is about you people making poor assumptions. Sourceforge isn’t an answer on a history test. At best it’s a cautionary tale but it has been followed by and preceded by so many nearly identical ones it’s not really relevant.

Therac-25 is a name every developer should remember. Osborne computers is another. Sourceforge is irrelevant. Nobody cares.
I’ve always been baffled about people who care about it. Just for a hot second sit down, and think how many times you’ve even talked to a trans person in your life. Like it’s such a tiny percentage of people that extreme majority of people will literally never have a conversation with one in their entire lives. But for whatever reason it occupies the minds of a good chunk of people throughout entire political spectrum.

Even as a person who has a lot of gay friends, I’ve only known one trans woman. And as far as I know she’s kind and decent. I think you’re all outraged by invisible humans and arguments that never happen in the real world. Then it somehow occupies a good chunk of space in your brain.
Hey Peter! I wanted to thank you for doing this. I just got my green card last year, and it all kind of started with me asking you a question about H1B caps in a thread like this almost a decade ago. Super appreciate you doing this for people that are dreaming of a better future, dreaming of the American dream.

Wish you the best!
> A singled out this one point, because it is not.

It absolutely is. I gave you concrete reasons. (Edit: actually in a sibling comment)

> i have yet to have a single bug over this.

I never said anything about bugs.
Been using Mixxx since 2015, I haven't liked every update they put out, but its always been solid software.
This rant doesn't have any specifics, but... I've got 1G fiber again, and tons of web pages are still slow as heck.

1-2 seconds to load for most users is not hard to hit if you care, and if most of your users aren't on 2g across the world from your hosting. At least for pages you're likely to enter the site on.

The rant points to pagespeed, which is a good start. If you serve your html in 200ms or less (measured on your server), have a reasonable implementation of TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and address the easy fixes on pagespeed, you'll probably have a faster than average site.
>At the company scales you're talking about, enterprise, there absolutely will be.

Many very large enterprise software providers (Sage, Oracle, IBM) and small OSS shops (Grafana, Zabbix, ProxMox) offer run local versions of ERPs or entire applications with no usage restrictions. The licensing pays for support and updates, not usage. In this model, the software provider has incentive to provide good support, and quality updates. They care to maintain the product because their care is what they are selling.

So, it won't absolutely be the case at this scale. Business as usual is the opposite of that at this scale. I should have to prove beyond doubt that there is no alternative when I agree to sign for SaaS. I'm agreeing to take on a lot of risk when I do that.

>Why would there be no contract with a local app?

Because that's what I want to buy, and for good reason (see above). And someone has figured that out and sold it to me.
> it’s a global collaboration

Yep, even on the optics side (IIRC Zeiss, Nikon and Samsung are big players in the optical side...)
It is the pseudoscience of Taylorism and 'Scientific management', not the manifesto, which is really just a repackaged form of modern organization theory.

The DOD agile BS PDF covers most of it.

https://media.defense.gov/2018/oct/09/2002049591/-1/-1/0/dib...

Once the consultant forms start to monetize the GAO's agile assessment guide things should get better IMHO.

Unless that gets co-oped somehow, which is possible.

How GM screwed up on the NUMMI plant shows how it is a Taylorism problem if you want something outside of tech.

But even TOGAF and ITIL are adjusting because the feds will require it.

Taylor measured people loading pig iron into train cars, faked a lot of things and the BCG/McKinsey types packaged and solid it.

It has always been BS, is part of why the US manufacturing sector failed as well as why the USSR failed.

Pretty hard to kill but it needs to die.
I don't think that's true.

There's a reason the law you're talking about only authorizes the president to do it. The lawmakers know that what they by passing the law are threatening is crazy, so they put it in the hands of the president, who they understand will never use it. They make sure there's a strong gate separating them and the other dog, then they bark. They know that actually trying to extract people from the Hague would look something like the Battle of Hostomel on steroids and would permanently and irrevocably damage relations and they would do nothing of the sort.
I paid 20/month for a few months with ChatGPT but stopped because you could get basically the same for free. If there were no free options I might pay but when free versions are pretty much forced upon you there's not much compulsion.

I currently use DJ.Studio so I'm interested how Mixxx compares.
Sounds like a buddhist thing.

Also sounds like an exploit, a cheap excuse for people with the power to profit from frustratation to get away.

On the long run, frustration leads to paranoia, and paranoia leads to unpredictableness, which in high doses seems to be harmful for any organization.

So, it seams that dealing with (not exactly tolerating, also not intolerating, it's different) paranoia is way more important. But also, if we don't have paranoia, we can find ourselves in the receiving end of endless frustration.

A delicate situation.

Evolution can be so clever.
It's still the same concept though. One is a bill you pay and other is free money you receive. There are all sorts of reasons for the bill you pay to be different based upon different criteria, that's not the same as getting free money directly.
> I feel like my circadian rhythms refuse to work in a way that conveniently fits with the 9-5

I've always been like this but then I developed full-fledged insomnia 5 years ago. I also have a noisy brain and will happily chatter to myself all night long.

I could treat night owling and busy brain with some mental techniques and occasionally a rotation of low-dose chems.

To treat my insomnia, I found that a cocktail of (mostly OTC) chems at very low doses gives the best possible outcome. It's less risky and more dependable than amping up a single med.
If he didn't say or imply that, his advice would be discounted as that of a (probable) loser.
What if exemption wasn't in place?
My reaction as well. Sure, one can have a fulfilling life without always chasing more, more more and it is might be worth thinking about cutting out some excessive consumerism, but this...

breakfast in bed on a sunday morning- sticky buns and black coffee, sharing a bed with my best friend. having more children. walking through the park while listening to the sounds of nature and kids laughing in the playground nearby. decompressing after a day at work on the couch with a cat who nestles besides my belly while i read, sip hot tea, and listen to tender jazz. cooking pasta for dinner, drinking wine, slow dancing in the kitchen with a lover. maybe starting a garden. farmers markets on weekends carrying a wicker basket full of apricots and hydrangeas. a soft, romantic, simple existence.

... this is the life of a wealthy retired person.

Most people who have a job where they aren't influencers, don't achieve anything, just go in for 8 hours a day and do ordinary work, are earning ordinary money, living in a small apartment, no pets allowed, have a marginally reliable car, can't afford to shop at the farmer's market, and with kids and homework and laundry and daily chores just want to get some sleep at the end of the day, spending three hours on cooking and enjoying a slow dinner with wine and music just isn't going to happen.
Meh. To have a little life you have to compete for a good job so you have a good pay.

The author frames it as if you can just semi-retire and still have $200K a year which is observably and factually absolutely not true. Like the tired Hollywood trope of "I am done working hard, let's just go live at this beach-front property and work whenever we like and oh, by the way, money is not a problem ever and how the frak did we buy this beach-front property again?". Like the old Angelina Jolie movie: "Life or Something Like It" (2002).

Glad that the author has such a privileged life but most of us have arrived at this "wisdom" by 25 year old at the most and the depressing conclusion is that you have to keep grinding just to have this "little life". Because if you stop or even slow down, it's mostly homeless life that's awaiting you, not a little one.
That future will never come. Nuclear power has several fundamental barriers to scaling, and given that the world population is still growing and the demand for energy per person in the developing is growing, those barriers will become an issue.

The biggest barrier in the end is that if we scale up nuclear by an order of magnitude or two, the heat output will cause global warming effects that approach that of CO2 emissions.

There are panels that can radiate the heat directly to space. But then you have the same area usage problems as solar power.

While some nuclear can be good I think the path to abundant energy is solar, geothermal and energy storage. There is more than enough solar and geothermal energy all around us to cover all our needs, and more. Solar will eventually mostly be in forms that also provide useful shading or act as roofs. Agrovoltaics is a field that’s growing very rapidly.

Going back to nuclear, one path to potential extremely abundant and cheap nuclear power is Helions fusion reactor. It should require a lot less cooling for a given output of useful electric power.
You have to have evidence that this is because of attestation, though - lots of open source software is missing lots of features because they are just missing features.
Amazing progress by open-source. However, the 64K input tokens and especially the 8K output token limit can be frustrating vs o1's 200K / 100K limit. Still, at 1/30th the API cost this is huge.
There’s just more money in tech than in 2000s, so the most interest is mostly coming from financial incentives rather than general curiosity. That just puts extreme pressure for it to be politicized.
Turning down medical care at some point in your life maybe the right thing to do.

I bet if you were to ask most doctors, one of the most heartwrenching things they are required to do is keep people alive and in pain long past the point of compassion.

I am not advocating for euthanasia, but within the last 2 years I have observed such cruelty only once averted
Mmmm the OP describes a very expensive mid-life retirement: an unspecified number of children, cats, a dog, a garden, living near enough a park that you might want to walk through, shopping at a farmer's market, books and art in your home, wine, and all in a "culturally rich" location!

I think most humans are pleasure seeking and would choose the above, if it were a choice! But the pinnacle for most people I know would be to enjoy one or two of the above, on the margins of a hard-working life.
Then the battery percentage is miscalibrated. The solution to that is to recalibrate the battery level, so that the old 40% is the new 0%.
While the price of energy production is likely to continue to fall, I fear that this will be completely overshadowed by the necessary investment in the grid. Both energy storage and the need to adapt the grid to the more decentralised nature of renewables could lead to a plateau in end user prices.
Yes, a COS from H-4 to H-1B is an option. However, if the H-4 COS is still pending, you might not be able to get the H-1B petition approved as a change of status but all this means is that to "activate" the approved H-1B petition, you would need to leave the U.S. and reenter with your existing visa stamp (obtained through the previous company) or leave the U.S. and apply for an H-1B visa (if you don't have a valid H-1B visa stamp obtained through the previous company).

>I know people of the political party I tend to disagree with who are saints and dedicate the majority of their time to others.

Except for the part of the time that they are devoting to supporting a political party that is actively harming you and people you love.. you can't just wave that off as not being important just because they are nice the rest of the time.

>I know people of the political party I tend to agree with who are insufferable selfish pricks and treat others terribly.

And they should be negatively judged for the latter behavior.

Both examples should be negatively judged for their behavior, you're just choosing to ignore some of the behavior of the first person.
Those two things already barely exist. I’m skeptical it’s possible, in a nation of hundreds of millions, to get them much closer to not existing than they already are.

So if those are the parts really bothering people… it sure seems like a case of looking for something to be upset about, in which case attempting to address their grievances won’t help. Or, a case of being told by people who are exaggerating the situation that these are actually really big deals, then not bothering to check whether that’s true. And in that second scenario, I don’t think making reality even closer to what they prefer than it already is will convince them of anything, so again, why bother to try to address their concerns?

Their perception is out of phase with what’s actually going on, that needs to be fixed before any useful discussion about some nugget of a point they may hypothetically have or helpful nuance their perspective might provide can meaningfully be engaged with.
Good for you, but what do you do now?
It's a different process for Mexicans because they're not visa exempt like Canadians and so have to get a TN visa at a U.S. Consulate.

What is needed is a steady decrease in demand or an increase in supply.

The cost of living crisis is directly caused by the huge bureaucracy needed to build new housing. And speculators are benefiting from that. As long as governments are unwilling to let go of regulations housing costs will only increase.
