Frankly I'm amazed that a solution exists that isn't hundreds of dollars. Some of these niche connectors can be really spendy. I think rotation is a bit extra though. The frustration with the dupont/0.1" headers is that

Without the AMS, a Prusa Mk4 (used?) You're always going to pay a bit more but they're European built and extremely repairable. Unfortunately you do need to pay for the Mk4 or Core to match Bambu's ease of use. The Mini is al

They are pretty comfortable, though they take getting used to because the seal is perfect and you'll slightly pressurize your ear canal which is a strange feeling. They'll also fit slightly inside your ear, so lying sideways is fi

If you have money to burn, get some LEMO push-pull connectors. They'll run you about $80 for a pair of each gender, but when you use them, you understand why trendy audio gear and instrumentation/optical OEMs use them. Occasionall

As with these daily opinion threads, ymmv. I find GPT's code to be competent, but its voice isn't great. If Claude can be a little too cool, GPT-5.x often reads like 90s era movie hacker technobabble. This has got to be RLHF/

The agents always do the best work IMO if you already know exactly what you want, but are too lazy to implement it. I like having the agent mock up a working solution before reimplementing it. To split the difference, I now try to hand code

It benefits Google's bottom line to have very capable small models that can cheaply cache results for search queries, even if they're frequently wrong. But I wonder if they use Gemini for the top X% of search terms to try and get

Small clarification on wording here (non-). Do you mean academics/researchers are finding it challenging? For context, am postdoc and I was told by a local immigration firm, within the last year, that I had a good profile for EB1A.

Do you get the impression this is a cause for concern for qualified applicants? Rephrased: what sort of applications are now getting denied/RFE'd that would have been fine say a couple years ago? Anecdotes would suggest that a lot

Maybe Peter can comment further, but my impression was that the definition of "work" is normally unrelated to whether it's paid or not, for F/J? If those students are actually concerned about staying in status, simply sa

I'm sure that's exactly what people are doing, but it's more difficult to tell from a recited script until someone drops a "It's not x, but Y".

These patterns are learned from magazine articles and other long-form publications. The tendency to have unnecessarily pithy/hooky section titles is one that particularly irks me, but it's not like AI invented that. I was reading

I would put Golden Sun in there. It’s a good JRPG, but there is a lot of Sokoban-like play in the environments.

The remakes of Myst and Riven are beautiful. I don’t play many AAA games nowadays and my expectation of photorealism is about 10 years old. I was surprised at how well it runs on an M1.

Some visas that are employment-limited specifically mention volunteering and charitable work as problematic. You do not need to personally gain financially. A crude way to tell is "is this an activity which someone could be paid for, e

I find it odd that the H-1B has no per-country limits, which would have avoided all of this from the start.

Having tried both strategies, unless your task is brain-dead simple and/or you have a way to cheaply and deterministically validate the labels, always pay to retain the team. Even if you can afford only a couple of people a month and i

Let's assume the amount is fixed. One approach is to ask to re-frame the position to be better value. Ask for working hours that effectively pays you more per day, like an 80% contract at the same comp. If they mumble HR and hours, off

You can view the DS-2019 as more like a work permit. The visa lets you leave and re-enter the country. Some European countries work in a comparable way where you don't need a visa at all (depending where you're from), but you can&

Yes ish, see my other comment. Foreign students normally enter via a non-immigrant visa (F1), or rather they are eligible to apply for that visa at an embassy, if a registered sponsor supports it. The visa permits a request for entry into t

The F/J exhange visa is tied to a specific sponsor (ie the University) for a very specific goal. There are a lot of restrictions on what you can and can't do. If your visa sponsor has its privilege revoked then presumably you have

The difference in the US is that it's (comparably) extremely difficult to change status from a temporary visa to a permanent one. Even if you are highly qualified. For example the most common academic visa, the J1, is explicitly a te
