It is pretty clear that the long horizon tasks are difficult for coding agents and that is a fundamental limitation of how probabilistic word generation works either with transformer or any other architecture. The errors propagate and multi

Yes, but usually companies exploit loop holes and build exploitative contracts like you need to pay back the cost that we paid for getting you moved, handled and what not etc., and use it as a threat in case the candidate had the thoughts o

100K one time fee will be easily amortized as a pay reduction over a period of 6 years by the H1B abusing companies. That is equivalent to getting 5 years worth of salary when you work 6, assuming a median suppressed wage of 100K. This does

Would having a Markov chain of Markov chains help in this situation. One chain does this when 2D bitmap patterns are vertical and another one for left to right?

The 100K fee has to accompany the H1B petition. The enforcement happens at the port of entry. So theoretically, a) the application could be denied if it doesnt have the 100K fee. b) If it doesnt get denied then you could stay in the country

Anyone on H1B who is working in US or is arriving into US for work will have to pay. F1 on OPT is F1 Visa and not on H1B. If they choose to get a H1B at the same time, if they use it to work then they have to pay.

Majority of CS/EE/MBA type grad programs across all universities are heavily enrolled by foreign students. Most of them end up paying out of state fee. This is a significant chunk of revenue for many colleges to keep their budget

As a side effect, this could reduce the pipeline of foreign students coming in on F1 with plans to transition to a work visa over time. F1 -> OPT -> H1 bridge is way more expensive now. Universities are bound to lose a ton of money du

Cannot agree more on this phantom braking. I rented a Tesla a while back and drove from the bay to the death valley. On clear roads with no hazards whatsoever, the car hit the brakes at highway speeds. It scared the bejeesus out of me! Comp

I mostly agree with this but have a hard time digesting the fact that someone would invest going to war with inferior looking strategy and technology. Future wars are likely going to be GPU driven, ML heavy entities where efficiency matters

Is this true!? So does it mean that if I use a 80% capacity battery my actual functional value that I get out of it would be considerably less than what the 80% would infer?

>> That’s not bad, given that most cars are scrapped somewhere in the 150,000 to 200,000 miles range. At that point, a Tesla will have more than 80% of its initial capacity, and in some cases, even more. So people will probably give u

ANNs are just mathematical transformations, powered by linear algebra + non-linear functions. They simulate certain cognitive processes — but they are fundamentally math, not magic.

This feels like "Linda Goodman of Sun Signs" style of storytelling. Arguments like what the author makes can never be confirmed or proven wrong. I feel like this is important work because it has a bit of mass delusional element t
