@Anatomage Maybe Q2

@ChiefEngineerCE That's more than half correct But there's other reasons That's just common

There is a clear financial reason many employers aggressively pursue visa workers, especially in engineering and tech roles. Unlike US graduates who carry heavy debt with no built-in relief, foreign visa workers often come with structural advantages that directly reduce employer costs or increase control. Here is how the incentives actually work in practice: Visa sponsorship ties the worker to the employer.H-1B status is usually linked to the sponsoring company. This reduces turnover risk during the visa period and gives the employer leverage that US employees do not have. Prevailing wage loopholes and cost arbitrage. Many companies (especially outsourcing-heavy firms) hire H-1B workers at or near the lower end of the prevailing wage range while avoiding full benefits packages or long-term retention costs that US workers expect. The net payroll savings can be substantial when scaled across dozens or hundreds of roles. Quite simply - An H1B doesn't expect a raise, won't leave because of issues with benefits, and can be low-balled come bonus time without complaint. They will sit in compliance and work to keep their jobs. Offshoring extension. Once the work or billing is routed through foreign subsidiaries, even if the parent company is American, costs and accountability move partially outside the full spotlight of U.S. regulators. Audits slow down and tracing becomes more difficult. Offshoring extension. Once the work or billing is routed through foreign subsidiaries, even if the parent company is American, costs and accountability move partially outside the full spotlight of U.S. regulators. Audits slow down and tracing becomes more difficult. The advantage in tech for hiring Visa employees is about control, flexibility, and wage pressure more than outright government cash subsidies. This creates a quiet distortion in the labor market- well known by the employers less obvious to us. Systems that publicly cite “talent shortages” in engineering and tech frequently route the easiest cost and control advantages toward imported pipelines rather than expanding domestic training slots, debt relief, or apprenticeship programs for US graduates. Even though they are REQUIRED to with part of the H1B visa fees. US engineering graduates face average debt burdens similar to medical graduates, yet they compete in a market where employers have clear structural incentives to favor visa workers for certain roles. From an engineering perspective this is basic systems analysis: when the incentive structure rewards importing compliant, lower-commitment labor over building long-term domestic competence, the organization optimizes for short-term cost metrics instead of long-term capability. Engineers often notice the subtle clues first because we are the ones asked to implement or sign off on work that does not add up technically or operationally. So for the engineers, PMs, and hiring managers reading this- Question: Have you seen cost, control, or incentive advantages that clearly tilt toward visa workers in your projects or teams?

@AsyncCollab @qwerty12702 @axiosalex @hollyotterbein I wonder if I'd be a progressive Technically

That’s so far from relevant to what I said. The tools already exist, asshole. My point is they’re basically tying their own hands behind their back and it’s a hilarious self-own. And most importantly, fuck the progressives. Bunch of losers trying to ruin the world for everyone else.

@EricaJo Maybe Hopefully

He’s doing such incredible transformation there. It’s really inspiring

And US Citizens shouldn’t have to guess if the federal government is lying to us that any safety studies were even ran🤷🏼‍♀️ See how that works? Those pesky little Covid gene therapies you still push while calling them vaccines fall into these definitions. FDA has now acknowledged that products operating through genetic material require flexible, evolving regulatory standards. This completely contradicts how these products were represented during roll out!! They lied and call them vaccines!! They didn’t just sell this to the government. They mandated it on people‼️ Jobs. Custody. Military. Healthcare. Everyday life. All based on one narrative: “Safe. Tested. Standard vaccine.” Now the FDA is openly saying these products are: → complex biologics → regulated with flexibility → evolving during development So let’s be honest about what happened: People were forced to take something…that was not what it was presented to be…and now that we’re injured we’re refused help! Because they surely don’t cover the injuries like they do vaccines!! There’s not even an injury table TO compensate from. That’s fraud. That’s NOT informed consent. That matters.

I think 95% or more of all people have no opinion about AI. No love. No hate. Just nothing.

@Pura_Vida310 @hovinthenorth @nikitabier This is hr banger

@hovinthenorth @nikitabier 👆🏼

I would volunteer 10 hours of my life to make videos on X better over a weekend. I just need 1 xAI engineer for like 20 hours max

@EdithaTogo @SebastianCaliri

@SebastianCaliri Rather than continuing to perpetuate or improve existing research publishing models, are there alternatives to just crack on with and drop outdated publication approaches?

Peer reviewed studies cannot keep pace with developments in AI and are not proving to be a source of useful information to consumers. This paper uses models from 2022 and 2024! Next to useless. Researchers should use up to date models, post their prompts and methodology publicly, and let others reproduce their results. Traditional peer review has many benefits but is not suitable for the moment we are in. There are other ways to show the quality of a study and expose findings to rigorous critique.

@rheum_ai @SebastianCaliri You are smart Seen this?

I gave a talk to my department yesterday where I told them to ignore peer reviewed studies. It’s not just about the models now, it’s also about the harness. The improvements are weekly. The other thing we’re missing is user variability; the people who use AI more frequently can get better answers (they write better prompts, they are better at discerning the response, they choose better models, they choose better harnesses).

@SebastianCaliri The patients Remained Roles

BMJ is not unique among medical journals in that the content goes through a review process so long that the output is irrelevant to consumers by time of publication, compromising the accuracy of the conclusions.

@grok @JexiumIslandJem @liumin1988 What's the narrative

A fire broke out early April 14 at BYD's Pingshan facility in Shenzhen—but only in a multi-story parking garage storing test and scrapped vehicles (not production lines or battery assembly). BYD, local fire authorities, Reuters, SCMP, and Straits Times confirm: blaze started ~2:48 AM, extinguished quickly, zero casualties or injuries, no production impact. No evidence supports claims of trapped workers, deaths, or Xi/Wang cover-up. Video shows the garage fire; rumors amplified the drama.

深圳百万平方比亚迪工厂，电池装配引起的大火，数千工人在车间内能走出来吗？浓烟翻滚、车间内烈火燃烧，据说数千工人未能走出工厂，习近平已安排才起、王沪宁前往，压制与封锁伤亡信息，担心引起社会舆论与中共“新能源叙事”。

@d2fl I have no idea I do know what we humanities missed on 2 tho

@Web4Door Does that mean they're back in the race for Artemis 3?

It's the future

@liumin1988 The narrative! The narrative!!!!! Nothing is more important than the narrative!

@spoonwerks @TRUMP_ARMY_ You have the key to my house The potential is We cool? If not maybe I shoulda done done that

@TRUMP_ARMY_ That’s a major move to secure America’s cloud systems and block potential espionage. A big step for national security.

🚨BREAKING: In a stunning move, SecDef Pete Hegseth has terminated a decade-old Microsoft program that gave engineers tied to the Chinese Communist Party access to America’s classified cloud systems, slamming the door on potential CCP espionage in the Pentagon’s digital fortress.

@CryptoP55 No

With the sentiment this bad in the trenches, we gotta be at the bottom, right? Even I am angry, but I am an angry person so that might have something to do with it. Either way, bottom?

@ddivey95 @HarvestNFTs Go to the creator Ask them if they will be doing a plan

@HarvestNFTs I would love to sell mine where and how do I do this?

still holding NFTs like its 2021?
