At the time he barely had 10k subscribers. The merits of the "genius" VISA should be for research and engineering endeavors.

My girlfriend is an immigrant from the UK. I support immigration but only if it respects the rights of US citizens.

Frankly I'm stunned this post hasn't been flagged by one of HN's moderators yet.

Truly sad to see YC clearly play favorites with non-citizens claiming what can be found within the U.S. isn't good enough.

Some of these "visa as a service" startups offer incentives and pseudo cash (or even cash) referral incentives. Which is actually illegal both in CA and Federally.

It's disgusting.

Many VC firms outside of YC flagrantly promote what is basically fraud. There are literally YC companies that provide pseudo visa fraud as a service.

Following the law and having respect for the immigration system is simply seen as an "inconvenient challenge" to these people.

I myself am a person of color, but in the cohort I was in (of 30) maybe three individuals were native born Americans of any race. The rest were exclusively Canadian immigrants largely from India and China (not actually born in Canada). It's also quite common in the US for people to work on visitor VISA's while applying for O1s.

To name a few...

Given the newly (as of yesterday) appointed chief of USCIS was just confirmed and has a marked history of strong opinions against OPT in it's entirety and H1B - I'd assume it's not looking good haha.

It's beyond a joke. Recently spent some time at an accelerator and the partners of the VC firm were very open about purchasing "fake" research or presenting investments as if they were from more than one "investor".

I still fail to understand how Dwarkesh Patel managed to "self-sponsor" an O-1 with a... tech podcast...

This makes me miss my ex dearly - but Montreal is an incredible city.

This is really cool.

Although - for more exotic applications parsing structural data I've found langium is far more capable as a platform. Typescript is also a pleasant departure from common AST tools.

Idk, I'm at a point where I've forgotten some shorthand needed to pass mildly more complex tech screens.

Can't tell if maybe I'm just an idiot or if these tools are actually really useful.

This is cool, but does it support piping frames between entire commands? In my opinion that's when you start to unlock the most interesting forms of FFMpeg flows.

What's the actual application for this?

Really curious how you got these tools to talk so elegantly to each-other? Is this an MCP implementation or?

Is this running a custom llm under the hood or?

"Foundational AI companies love this one trick"

It's part of why they love agents and tools like cursor -> turns a problem that could've been one prompt and a few hundred tokens into dozens of prompts and thousands of tokens ;)

I'm not religious, but publishing this the day before Easter is disgusting.

Hey, I've built a very similar tool aimed at creating shorts! Would love to potentially collaborate.

I think the author here maliciously ascribed "all companies being evil" with mega-corp HR practices and working for a dysfunctional "family business" run by awful people.

I've had startups in the past with co-founders like this. Seemingly nice sales-guy types who turn out just to be awful people with no real respect for others or class.

I always mark the people more than the org. Do your best to work with honest good people and dividends will always be paid.

Super cool, are the grids represented as really complex graphs?

Good we should improve so Intel (an american corporation) isn't heavily reliant on a modern near-peer adversary.

The guy who wrote this article is likely the only person to self-report to the police that he might have broken a dumb rule published by a huge company that manipulates and deceives millions of people every minute... haha

I'd have to assume the source of contamination is more in production equipment that was poorly maintained rather than the inputs for toothpaste?

CLI is the worst possible interface for coding llms. Especially for "larger" projects.

What are the odds 3fs is backdoored?

TikTok is especially bad. If you compare IG "kids" and TikTok the intended content for minors is strikingly different. Even platforms like Roblox will maliciously recommend questionable content to children.

What are your favorite open source "frameworks" for agents?

Is this open source?

I'm open to offers. But to start lets say 50% of spot prices on Lambda or AWS

Remove windows. And this is amazing.

This is cool! Curious what front-end tooling you've used for the landing page?

This works, but imagine how easily a billionaire could bribe a lions share of employee fractional owners / voters to do whatever they want to a corp org structure.

Sure, distributing CEO pay to workers is a great idea.
