@deedydas So basically for H1Bs they have made it unclear on purpose

There's a ton of confusion on the new US immigration policy. Here's an immigration lawyer's analysis, and how it actually affects every current US visa holder.

@mjzellinger @linderps this is exactly the problem. abundance via dating apps causes people to bail if the smallest of "icks" occur. Who knows, maybe the ick would have subsided by the 4th date and they could be married living happily after and having babies to counteract the dropping birth rates...

@linderps Exactly! And in those cases, just trust your gut. Better to be safe than sorry. There's always a next guy, you can literally just open Hinge, and thereby open "the floodgates" anytime

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

She's better offer married at 16, than spending her 20s whoring around bringing shame to the family name.

Women are 12x more likely than men to rule out marrying someone who earns less money than them. For decades, we’ve shamed men into changing their gender expectations for women, but we shrug at the fact many women still hold onto their traditional expectations for men. Do women get to have their cake and eat it, too? Read more: open.substack.com/pub/lisabritto…

The person who made this would be happy to see it shared as widely as possible. The world can now see the truth of “trans inclusion.”

@TimJayas @starter_story who needs these apps though...

@starter_story i've seen someone running heavy ads on instagram for a similar app so i believe it does really well

i kinda feel like micro-apps like this are the future.

@realmikeai It's funny how neuroscientists don't really know much about the brain yet. But it is Tech people who will force the neuroscientists to actually learn.

To be clear, I’m not talking about filling data centers with amino acids. I mean the mechanism of a gene as an architecture. System prompts and appended context are a hack because they're static. A genetic-analogous layer is dynamic, in the sense that, it's a base code that encodes the patterns for how weights should alter and express themselves continuously as data flows in; a few base symbols that pre-empt how the model continuously updates its own weights based on its environment.

Neuroscientists created LLMs, but for some reason nobody is looking at biology to solve memory. Genes *are* memory, the most efficient compression algo ever conceived. But everyone is trying to brute-force the context window bottleneck with infinite RAM.

@drterrysimpson you made all minority med students vulnerable to an expectation of being sub standard when you selected them over more qualified white and Asian students

@TheBrancaShow @Dionysia1349940 this is SO unfortunate for the actually meritorious black doctors who have to deal with this shit

@Dionysia1349940 And black doctors in America could be great, too. If they were chosen based on actual qualification. Which they are not. They are chosen based on skin color.

"What is amazing is how many people in this discussion instantly assume that minority physicians are inherently “less qualified”" I'll explain it to you. It's because you select as doctors minority physicians WHO ARE LESS QUALIFIED.

@robbystarbuck @axios yes but isn't statute of limitatios a hard law? meaning no point appealing?

@axios Seems pretty important to note that the Jury and Judge didn’t decide this case on merits but said instead that he filed too late, which of course is going to be appealed. On merits, the case looks awful for OpenAI.

Can all Canadians at least agree on this one thing: If you claim refugee status in Canada, for any reason, and you go home for a vacation - your refugee status is revoked?

@zing22000 @_junaidkhalid1 @deedydas Robotics

@_junaidkhalid1 @deedydas Don’t skate to where the puck is. Skate to where the puck is going.

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

@shivangi_sriv @deedydas AI itself will unlock the "lots of value" not humans

Of all the chatter going around the SF post by @deedydas, this is the line of thinking, I would get behind. Intelligence will have infinite demand like energy and the cycles of change, especially in tech, will get faster, way faster. Lots of value yet to be unlocked

@StrategicCFO @deedydas Can't someone say this is just a coping strategy?

@deedydas Perfect time to start reading stoic teachings. “If you suffer pain because of some external cause, what troubles you is not the thing but your decision about it, and this it is in your power to wipe out at once.”

If you’re struggling to get a job as a man, this is why. A less qualified woman is being chosen thanks to DEI.

Based on distributions of test scores, it’s the White and Asian students being discriminated against, and the Black students who are being unfairly advantaged in admissions. The proportion of Black students is lower than the genpop but far higher than meritocracy would produce.

@InfiniteXLoop @JeffAnderson_ @OrganicPlasticX But your DEI solution makes it worse. Because now non-racist will down play black people's accomplishments because there is proof of low black scores getting admitted. You have made the problem worse, not better.

@Munzerini @JeffAnderson_ @OrganicPlasticX The truth is that racist assholes will always have an excuse to down play black people's accomplishments. History shows if it isn't DEI they'll just make something else to be made about. Fuck em'

Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes. Total Black students: 44. That’s ~10 per class. Total Asian students: 157. That’s ~40 per class. There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school. Black: 14% of America. Only 7% of Yale Med Asian: 7% of America. 28% of Yale Med. Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ? aamc.org/media/6131/dow…
