You fix public education by kicking out the fascist left agenda, that believes that high achievement is only from white supremacy, and lowering standards for Black and Brown kids so that they pass but leave high school completely uneducated

You don't live in the Bay Area. Schools around the Bay Area are closing, especially in rich areas like Saratoga and Cupertino. That's because parents who can afford it are moving their children to private schools because of exactl

My friend is an exec at a US software company and they are preparing to lay off a few teams of programmers in their Eastern European locations and replacing them with a small number of US programmers + AI. He said they are much more product

This article is intentionally misleading. Department of Homeland Security is no longer processing Green Cards via AOS. That included UCSIS. However the STATE DEPARTMENT is still processing it via Consular Processing. The article makes it so

Yes, the wait time is in the US. You just leave the country for the appointment. All this FUD in this entire post is disheartening.

You don't know what you're talking about. This is the very last stage of the GC process. Before everyone had the choice to do AOS or CP. I personally chose CP. Now there's only the choice of CP. But nothing else has changed.

USCIS serializes it and they have a limited number of workers. CP shards it based on country so it will be much faster for many people.

No. This is the last stage of the Green Card process. When you do Consular processing you make an appointment at the US embassy or consulate in your country, go do the interview and then you are granted the GC on the spot. Then you fly back

All this means is that I485 is no longer allowed and everyone needs to do Consular processing. It doesn't mean that Green Cards are no longer being processed. I did consular processing when I got my Green Card. It's the FINAL step

Do you think that people should continue to be employed when their job is easily replaced by AI?

You are confidently uneducated in both finance and accounting. Dunning-Kruger is in full effect.

I know a lot of accountants. One is a chief accounting officer at a medium-sized tech company and she has already replaced about 5 people in her org with AI. She says she sees a lot of low hanging fruit in finance that will be replaced by A

People nitpicking over stuff like that is weird to me. I for one almost never "search" anymore, I just go straight to the AI on google, chatgpt, etc.

The speed of results for an API call to ChatGPT is 10-100x faster than my local LLM. I haven't exactly quantified the results but I was getting results in a few seconds vs 10+ minutes for my local LLM. I'm going to do a deep dive

How did we go from "I expect to lose only 1000-2000 if I try to sell my used equipment" to "you should have just bought NVDA to get a better return." The point wasn't the better return, the point is that I wouldn&#x

I've seen a lot of sales on eBay for over $20k, but I don't know if I believe it. Plus the lack of seller protection and the prevalence of scams on eBay make me too hesitant to actually want to risk it so I don't know what to

Yes the prices on eBay for the Mac Studio are all over the place, but I've seen sales for over $20k. I don't know if I believe it but there's enough to make me think if I can sell it for that price it would be worth it, but e

25k is definitely a lot but I did the risk analysis and I figured worst case I would lose a 1000-2000 after a year of playing around with it, so I look at it more like renting (I'm going to keep the Macbook Pro no matter what since I n

RTX 6000 is some-what obviously my fastest card but my biggest problem with the RT 6000 is the immense heat. The GPU itself is almost 200F and the exhaust from the fans itself is over 150F. I'm worried that my hard drives are going to

I have the Macbook M5 MAX with 128 GB of RAM. I put its performance at roughly equivalent to the RTX 5070 Ti. The M3 Ultra 512 GB for me is about half the performance of the RTX 5070 Ti but obviously it has the ability to do more because of

In the last year, I have bought an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 512 GB, a Macbook Pro M5 MAX with 128 GB and an RTX 6000 Pro. I have spent around $25k so far, not including electricity. I figured worst case scenario I can sell them in the next

The fact that taxpayers and not the police themselves have to pay the settlement is the worst part of this. Every settlement against the police should be taken from their pension fund. This is something I've been advocating for decades
