This happens all the time for positions that don't have H1Bs. It's not unique to hiring and retaining H1Bs. Any business, institution or government agency that wants to fill a position and is required to publicly post a position has probably done this if they already have a specific candidate in mind.
Small sample, but still, food for thought.
No, not at all. The gender pay gap is in the training data thousands of times, from online comments, studies, news articles, etc. Since AI is a dumb machine replicating what it has in its training data, it replicates that.
I'm pretty sure you can find religious believe, superstitions of all kinds, human fallacies and whatever in AI if you provide it with the right setup.
Can't tell if we should moderate the article as Troll or Flamebait.
Commenters have already pointed out the dishonesty of the prose based on their own published stats.

Yes, I'm enabling the clickbait by commenting.
JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.
Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.
We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.
Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem
True to a large part, but it also depends on which population you're referring to, and I don't tend to be very America-centric. For example, Britons made over 91 million overseas trips in 2024, of which 71 million journeys were to Europe:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplep...
That's for a population of 69 million. Of course, there are people like me who went abroad eight times that year, and plenty who don't. Except for Portugal or Iceland or Western Africa, all of those trips involved a time zone change. Of course, you said "most", which could be 51%. The point is: a large number of people do regularly travel across time zones.
Can't you just run the following instead of installing something, or did these change with Arm Macs?
pmset -g therm
sudo powermetrics --samplers thermal,cpu_power -n 1
The other clue is the kernel_task process unexpectedly running at high CPU load.
people hate AI slop, and doing all these slop-enabling AI things is just going to erode the trust in the actual market.
This. No good game was ever created from a single prompt. Not to an AI, not a human development team. Every single person writing those damn "look which game my AI built from a single prompt and $x in tokens!" postings is a newbie and almost certainly has never actually shipped a single game.
Game development can be summed up as endless iterations. Every system you build, every visual you create, every sound, text, button, movement, weapon, skill, powerup needs polishing, refinement and changes. It is never, never good enough the first time.
And no, Roblox is not a serious gaming platform.
No it is not, but it IS a very successful platform for a specific subclass of games. If I were in it for the money, I could probably AI refactor some of my earliest games and publish them on Roblox and make a quick buck. If your thing is the kind of games you played on your C64 back in 1793, then Roblox got you covered. Well, if you ignore the scams and money-grabbing.
*sigh* I wish Unity would actually complete some of their dozens half-finished sub-systems instead of constantly chasing the latest trend. It's become really, really annoying. The engine used to be really good. These days, it falls apart if you look at it the wrong way, and at least from the responses to my bug reports it's clear that fixing issues is way down on the agenda.
Maybe this is their attempt to regain grounds in the indie game market - the very market they pushed away by focussing on AAA requirements for years and ignoring the single devs and small teams. If so, I can already tell them that it won't work. We collectively laugh about all the "look what my AI built for me from a single prompt" postings on reddit, where people proudly show off some AI slop that would get them last place at a game jam.
Their AI efforts so far: Tried to build and sell their own AI tools, to a collective yawn from the audience. Built a barely-working MCP server, then deprecated it before it was even finished in order to push a CLI interface to the editor instead, which only works if it's run as the same user as the editor on the same machine. And completely ignores every single advise on workflows and good development practices you can think of.
Unity, I love your engine, I despise your management. Please return to when you were actually good and stop chasing butterflies.
Google says that patent expired in September of 2025, as it was filed in 2005. Yes, we are getting old.
Personally, I prefer the old rectangular Thinkpad charging connectors.
I don't know the protocol but old phone headsets had a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack with an extra ring that got you play/pause/hook/next/last.
Hypothetically that could have been implemented. I had a collection of Alexas that got binned as soon as they got caught spying for police so I never got that far. ESP32 is better for nerds anyway.
One thing Australia does right is a statute naming removal of features as a violation of contract requiring full refunds in these circumstances.
It's a regulation forced on them by the EU's AI Act, which neither companies nor users want.
The target audience for this particular rule of the AI Act isn't the producers or users of AI. It is the consumers of content that might be AI generated.
And frankly, letting people know if they see AI content or not is a fair thing to ask.
And honestly, "not measuring how much a human contributed" is IMHO a massive flaw in general
Fun fact: The EU AI Act considers this. It makes a difference between "AI generated" and "AI modified".
But it's hard to put this into the type of watermarking they are using. Because if you generate a text and then change a few things here and there what you are doing is degrading the watermark. But since the watermark is probabilistic, it's hard to tell if it was a weak watermark from the start or if it was degraded.
People have been kicking off interactions to complex to fully imagine all possible outcomes
That ain't the same thing.
This thing is doing things you didn't tell it to. It might even do things you explicitly told it to not do. It is not a case of "well, you could've forseen this as a consequence if you had been careful" like your campfire. My example is only a bit silly, it is absolutely possible that an AI agent will decide to hack NASA because you asked it for some data for a school project. Even in the broadest possible sense, that does not fall into stuff that the law so far has considered to be in the domain of negliegence.
AI agents do stuff you could not possibly have expected. Heck, I asked Claude a fairly simple knowledge question yesterday and it wanted to read from
It's hard to believe that a Jordanian teenager learned the PeopleSoft vendor integration API well enough to exploit it.
Probably somebody whose dayjob is related.
Maybe he was just Vibesploiting, but it seems less likely.
Can we get Natalie Portman and hot grits involved somehow?
