It's a visa. The whole point is that it's not permanent and you are ultimately expected to return home permanently. You may also be asked to leave at any time. It's reasonable for the host nation to want to ensure that outcome is still available and that someone hasn't actually fully emigrated here with no options for return.

Ultimately it's known to anyone who applies for a visa that this will be the requirement, and so, if they don't want the economic opportunity of working in the US, they're free to avoid the stress and just stay in their home nation.

> has to go through a very length period

Doesn't the bottom of this announcement describe a previous rule that was announced in January 2024 and then implemented in March 2024? Interesting that rules process was far more rapid than this one.

> to leave the country to renew paperwork is an insane anachronism.

I always took it as a means of proving they still could return somewhere if necessary. Which is a reasonable thing to assure on a visa.

Prior to the internet vendor included features were significantly more important than they are now.

The "support elements" on the mainframe, which are just a laptop connected to some internal buses and power controls, did run OS/2 for many years. You could IPL the machine right from the Warp desktop. It was neat.

They also continued VM with VM/370, VM/ESA and z/VM operating systems which are equally rock solid systems. Aside from these IBM did actually go big on Intel systems but they got completely blindsided by clone manufacturers and entirely failed to see what cloud infrastructure would do to their impressive mainframe lineups.

0.02% relative risk increase implies 2 in 10,000 will end up with the condition where they would not otherwise.

Your chances of being hit by a meteorite are _at most_ 1 in 1,000,000.

My happiness would not extend across several orders of magnitude like that, but perhaps, some people just need the $10k more than I would.

> but they are prescribed because the benifits outweigh the downsides

Some are. Some are simply prescribed because the patient asks for them.

> even if little is known about their mechanism.

I wouldn't take it unless my condition was immediately life threatening and there were no other medications available. There are very few classes of treatment that fall within these parameters.

Insulin is not a "shortcut." It's a genuine product of the human body. Some people just don't produce enough in response to other metabolic changes.

> seems better to take it than not.

If you have debilitating diabetes that has failed to respond to changes in exercise and diet. If your taking the drug as some type of "weight loss short cut" you should possibly reconsider that position.

In terms of outcome, it maybe a tolerable risk, but anything that flat out doubles the risk ratio is fairly concerning; in particular, where the mechanisms are not well understood.

It's one of the examples presented in their article, I did not pick it at random. Perhaps when people without subject matter experience write laws or contracts they end up as the paper suggests, but when people understand the problem domain clearly, the laws end up on paper with equal clarity.

The paper notices the fact but draws the completely wrong conclusions.

I find nothing particularly incomprehensible about laws in general. In an experiment where you ask a bunch of amateurs to write legal documents I'm not sure you can apply any real interpretation to those results.

They use the example of DUI laws. Here's two. There's nothing particularly complicated about them, and the "center embedding," to the extent it is present, is entirely comprehensible.

Particularly clear both to the layman and to officers of the court.

> used in names in generated code

Fair enough but now this name leaks out into code I have to type. I don't dig highly opinionated languages with tooling that complains at me over style guidelines breaking their own style guidelines to solve a problem that they themselves have created.

They painted themselves into a corner and their solution is for me to hit myself in the head with a hammer.

> memcpy is the fastest way

To bake endianess and alignment requirements into your protocol.

That is the largest goalpost move I've ever seen, but sure, at that order of magnitude anything is plausible.

Interesting that it's entirely failed to do that so far.

Nvidia is helping power the next generation of big brother government programs.

Yep. Right here. [0].

Generally people ignore the per PUT and GET pricing on S3 along with the higher latency since it's a "global" service. If your objects are small then you're almost always benefited from using DynamoDB as the GET pricing and latency are far more favorable, as long as you don't mind the region dependency or the multi region setup.

Even if AGI suddenly appears we will most likely have an energy feed and efficiency problem with it. These scaling problems are just not on the common roadmap at all and people forget how much effort typically has to be spent here before a new technology can take over.

> Is there some expectation that these things won't improve?

Yes. The current technology is at a dead end. The costs for training and for scaling the network are not sustainable. This has been obvious since 2022 and is related to the way in which OpenAI created their product. There is no path described for moving from the current dead end technology to anything that could remotely be described as "AGI."

> This is ego speaking.

This is ignorance manifest.

It's a group with no real authority. Their only option is to create reports. In some cases the Administration may act directly on them. In the majority of cases it will be a report delivered to the legislature that they will then completely ignore.

The largest budget programs are entitlements which the Trump team seems powerless to change and thus has no stated desire to engage with them at all or the Pentagon which is _the_ pork barrel machine as far as congress is concerned.

DOGE mostly looks to be a PR distraction.

The entity with more integration had more power than the one without.

It's sort of why we have anti monopoly laws on the books.

It's not to penalize successful people it's to prevent their largess from becoming a financial bloodclot within their industry.

7 years of storage in an environment controlled by SOX. There is no requirement that the storage be online or accessible by the originating user, and in most cases, there's good reason to specifically avoid this. As a result it's not as bad as you'd think.

Year over year wage increases relative to all workers and competition for labor in the tech sector are the signals you want to use. Total mergers and acquisitions and number of discontinued software products would be good secondary signals.

The chart of "Thermodynamic Beta" on wikipedia is great. I like to think about the big bang as a population inversion where the entropy temporarily becomes negative leading to the hyperinflationary epoch as the universe "collapses" into existence finally cooling to a near "infinite" temperature making the CMB nice and smooth.

The big bang clearly defies thermodynamic laws so why wouldn't be a negative entropy and temperature phenomenon? It's the "cheat code" the "primordial universe" uses to dodge problems like realities popping into existence.

Anyways.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_beta

> This isn't a criticism of the FDA

Why wouldn't it be? In many ways they've clearly lost the fight. They're much smaller and less supported than the entities they intend to regulate. There is a known revolving door problem between federal and commercial employment. The natural mission of regulating food _and_ drugs is no longer sensible in our current social and political environment.

Do you think it could be that general purpose computers tend to exist as household items here moreso than in other parts of the world? I see my phone as a small extension of a much larger and more capable computing base. Is that view even possible in other parts of the world?

Ok, but I think it's clear that what I wrote does not convey violence or vehemence but simple disrespect. A disrespect not born out of their early life and personal history but out of their actions here _today_.

Which I think I'm entitled to convey as these are two CEOs attempting to try a case in public while playing fast and loose with the truth to bolster their cases. You may feel that I, as a simple anonymous commentor, "owe this community better," but do you spare none of these same sentiments for the author himself?

The people who are trying to commercialize the product? It's interesting that with all this money all they do is send "their developers" into the mailing list to push the product and everyone else in their own direction.

Who owns github again?

By whom?
