they will not be able to obtain non-immigration visas in the future

Why? Aren't L1 and H1B "dual intent" visas?

It made a big difference when it first appeared on the battlefield. Russia has adapted since then, so it's no longer a game changer. But systems like these helped Ukraine hold on, and they continue to do so today.

Their capabilities should saturate at human or maybe above-average human performance

LLMs do have superhuman reasoning speed and superhuman dedication. Speed is something you can scale, and at some point quantity can turn into quality. Much of the frontier work done by humans is just dedication, luck, and remixing other people's ideas ("standing on the shoulders of giants"), isn't it? All of this is exactly what you can scale by having restless hordes of fast-thinking agents, even if each of those agents is intellectually "just above average human".

Is this a joke? If it's not trainable / differentiable when why do it in the first place? It's just as inefficient and inflexible as it gets compared to tool calling — you have to statically bake programs in the weights, model cannot introspect it and modify, it has very limited IO capabilities, bad performance, bad everything. Its like a weird brainfuck-esque VM — cool that you can do it, but for what except some lulz?

But maybe it's just too genius and I don't understand it.

Unfortunately, no. We allow hybrid work, but only if you're willing to relocate immediately (U.S. only).

We at Avride are hiring in Austin for a full-time, onsite position.

In this role, you'll help build state-of-the-art 3D data annotation tools that advance autonomous driving.

We're looking for a seasoned UI engineer with a strong React background and relevant experience building highly stateful, low-latency interactive applications. Experience with 3D graphics is a plus.

Tesla is famously anything but a car company because their cars are mediocre in every way except the battery range

I can't say that I'm a big fan of this guy... But I can tell you this: I learned to drive only after moving to the U.S. recently, and when I had to choose my first car, I found Tesla to be the best among many I tried. It's just awesome, and I don't even use their FSD, the car itself is superb (at least the latest "3"). Minimalistic, no BS, drives well, quiet, comfortable. The same feeling I had with the first iPhone, compared to other phones.

sqlite with extensions, scales to millions of docs easily

A similar project of mine (generated back when GPT-4 was out, along with comment threads and articles):

What are some examples?

"Weaponizing Wikipedia Against Israel" https://aish.com/weaponizing-wikipedia-against-israel/

Why not use actual Ethereum as a base layer? If you want speed, build (or use) an L2 on top of it.

I can hardly see any value in "yet another private blockchain" — just use a database, duh.

They say:

In the API, all GPT‑5 models can accept a maximum of 272,000 input tokens and emit a maximum of 128,000 reasoning & output tokens, for a total context length of 400,000 tokens.

So it's only 270k for input and 400k in total considering reasoning & output tokens.

Only at first glance. It can easily render things that would be very hard to implement in an FPS engine.

What AI can dream up in milliseconds could take hundreds of human hours to encode using traditional tech (meshes, shaders, ray tracing, animation, logic scripts, etc.), and it still wouldn't look as natural and smooth as AI renderings — I refer to the latest developments in video synthesis like Google's Veo 3. Imagine it as a game engine running in real time.

There are people who file collective mandamus lawsuits, so you might consider joining one of those groups.

However, from what I've seen, it could be a waste of money, as there isn't convincing evidence that it accelerates AP. These lawsuits usually take many months, and AP often resolves "by itself" before the lawsuit reaches a resolution.

One interesting benefit is that OpenAI would be able to detect bots using their APIs to generate content.

We just recently had COVID which was likely bioengineered (as the lab leak is now "officially" considered a plausible explanation)

People said the same thing about IntelliSense a long time ago.

Not everyone needs to pay exit tax, only if your net worth is over $2mln or your 5-year average annual tax paid is over $190k or something like that.

IANAL so do your own research. Google "covered expatriate".

I suppose deporting you to Guantanamo and detaining you there until your country of origin agrees to take you back would be consistent with the current administration's actions.

Can't implants read from that nerve? Or the issue is that the "protocol" is hard to reverse?

I mean not only sex, but also swearing, drugs, violence, etc. Basically everything R-rated (but not illegal) which usually gets censored.

Maybe there exists a dataset consisting entirely of objectionable content, so people can finetune neutered models on it?

They would probably be able to do it if the listed prices were fixed, but they provided a personalized discount that would vary depending on who you are.

How does the device regulate the heartbeat speed? I mean, how does it know that it needs to pump blood faster or slower?

So what's the motivation here?

Better interpretability, I suppose. Could give insights into how cognition works.

Bader then used this leg to mount multiple escape attempts from various prisons

Oh, that reminds me of the prosthetic leg joke from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. So it was a reference?

People can jump employers while one H1B

Good luck finding a new employer willing to sponsor your H1B within just 60 days (the grace period allowed before self-deportation) in this job market.

Additionally, switching employers resets your green card approval process (if it has started), which can take years. This serves as a significant disincentive to change employers unless you've already filed your I-485. Considering that an H1B worker has only 6 years to progress through this process, there is even more pressure to avoid changing employers.

MAGA decisively won

Did they? Trump just recently made a couple of statements, siding with Musk on that issue. He has no other choice, as money comes from Elon, not from MAGA.

He also reversed his stance on EVs during his campaign, openly admitting that he had to due to Elon's contributions. So basically, Elon is the president now.

I was responding to the comment regarding "how about the top 0.1%". H-1B isn't designed for bringing the 0.1%, there are other visas that already do exactly that. Also, it is not so high bar, I know people even without a degree who got O1, it isn't even a requirement. But you need to have a public track record of various kinds.

Also, I am not against visas intended to fill labor shortages. But it needs to be done in a way that incentivizes hiring local talent over foreign. Currently the H-1B works the other way around. This has to be dealt with. Like raising the minimum salary, making it significantly more expensive to hire an H-1B worker than a local one, and removing the exploitative leverage employers have over visa holders — people shouldn't have to fear negotiating for better terms due to the threat of deportation. That would likely fix it.
