But what value are they providing to the Chinese? The original assertion was that American AI is only where it is because of the contributions of Chinese nationals. I.e. they’re leading the way. Why even contribute to our efforts and pote

Why do they bother spying on us if they’re so far ahead then?

No they won’t, they’ll get hit with the dreaded “racist hiring practices” accusations. China knows this, and they exploit it. If tomorrow Google announced a ban on hiring any Russian nationals the HN comments and the media would by and lar

Presumably for such a high profile position a simple um, Google of the person, checking LinkedIn, or a standard background check would reveal this.

I think a lot of times people say “ORM” when they mean “Hibernate” or some other ORM implementation. In your codebase, do you stick raw SQL all over the place and iterate over rows exclusively? Or instead, as a convenience, do you write he

Counterpoint, I’m not the only person showing up in this thread saying “what exactly do you mean?” So I don’t think it’s clear what the OP is actually referring to. If you know, please enlighten us.

In this particular example, why does it matter? Shouldn't the question "should the government ban <newspaper>" always give the same answer?

Most of that is the embedded templating/scripting system (the stuff between {{}}), not YAML itself.

That’s very interesting, can you point me to any sources showing that 99.5% of all asylum seekers and refugees are deported every single year? Or do they instead just transition into the illegal immigrant category and we just kinda collecti

You sure about that? The plan seems to be letting in anyone and everyone who says the magic words “asylum” or “refugee.”

I don’t think townhouses are anywhere near as rare as you’re letting on. I’ve can’t recall the last time I haven’t seen them in any decent-sized (50k+) city.

You’re talking about the “you’re posting too fast, please slow down” message? IME it’s not a rate limit but a passive-aggressive way of banning someone from a conversation for some amount of time.

I 100% guarantee you that eventually the $15 tier will have “limited” ads and then the upcoming $25 tier is ad free, rinse and repeat. It’s happened with cable, it’s happened with streaming, it’ll happen with YouTube.

AGI is IMO the biggest pipe dream (scam may be too strong a term) in computing. It’s perpetually “10 years away.” I remember when a group working on “AGI” spoke at my university (oof, 21 years ago at this point) and all the talk then was

Yes, but if you have an account you’ll at least get an email notifying you that your account’s email address has changed (as a result of someone recreating your account). That’s how I was tipped off to someone trying to buy a car in my nam

Article doesn't really clarify if this is "twice as much per capita" or just "twice as much." If the latter, I'd say no duh, Texas has a much bigger oil and natural gas industry than New Mexico does.
