Yes, I intentionally don't go to work because I'm too busy going to the Illegal Immigrant Volunteer Slaughterhouse. This means I don't have the money to feed my family or fuck hot chicks. It's a sacrifice we all have to make for the future of our children, though!

Man, they really need to pass a law or something to make it affordable to have healthcare in this country, man. Someone should run on that premise. It's something long past having not been tried.

How do you think those immigrants get those skills in other countries? Are they randomly birthed with them, perhaps assigned them? Bequeathed, like a royal bloodline?

Are you retarded?

No. There are 3 ways they get them, the same as in the US:
1) earn them
2) buy them
3) fake them

At the very least, they had to have the forethought to acquire them in piece or in farce before applying for the job, unless you're suggesting a very large percentage of India appears to have precognition as well as having a disproportionately high rate of supposed idiot savants/high functioning autists (and that 'functioning' is doing a lot of work).

I'm so sick of this shit. It doesn't matter what your political persuasion is, you've got to admit that this is completely self contradictory:

"shortages in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of nurses, physicians, teachers, engineers, pharmacists, mental health counselors, construction worker and airplane mechanics"

If there is less of something (labor) the value of that thing will increase due to increased demand. It does not matter if they were allocated by government fiat (a communistic thing, funny enough, given the prevalence of H1B as a so-called "capitalist" measure).

More H1Bs and 'helping' companies is more of a planned or managed economy. It's more communist. But the fact is that no amount of societal uplifting that will make an 80IQ citizen a 120IQ citizen so that there's enough doctors or engineers. The only real option is to pay more for it, as a larger incentive to allow those who are smarter to be more likely to pursue it. (After all: as much fun as it is to operate heavy machinery all day, construction still wasn't the career that the smart kids who liked to play into the dirt went into...)

"One note from a science process technicality: the closed-source nature of these LLMs makes reproducibility very difficult, which weakens the strength of their result."

No more so than a study in psychology.

That's the truth of it, and this is arguably the real news here. I've got agents that do more web browsing today on my computers than I do.

Eh. That's likely a small fraction of a fraction of a percent.

Look around you. People are not generally concerned with privacy, nevermind security.

So let me get this straight. If I live in a hot or cold environment, and/or I regularly use the advertised range (or as much of it that the car will give me, realistically) to avoid having to sit and wait for fast charge to 80% for an hour on a road trip, I'm looking at (probably) no more than 80% capacity available after 5 years?

That torpedos the used market solidly. No wonder they're available so much cheaper.

I went to school in VA. There was rarely a day that the heat would get turned on. They're big monolithic heat islands full of children, calorie powered.

We also didn't have A/C back then, either. Windows would be open all day. I doubt they do that now.

I know this comes off trollish, but: why can't these power companies (which are usually public utilities) just build more power production instead of jacking prices? What's the deal? Why is this a "hate on AI that runs in datacenters" problem, and not a "just produce more power" problem?

Yep. The fundamental problem that requires loops is that opus et al are lazy AF. They do not "implement the plan, make no mistakes". They'll do a subset of {A..M} phases in a plan (90% of A, 70% B, 30% L, 0% M, etc.) and then say "all done!" when it compiles. So, you've got to loop it "do this until it's done". It's fundamentally brute forcing the problem, because the models aren't designed for completeness, just complete-enough, and then lies to you.

The harness exacerbates the problem. People have implemented some privately which do this correctly, but aside from the one I just made available on gh, I'm not aware of any that are public which do so natively/by core design. (And even then, it's sometimes iffy...)

This is all just marketing to try to cover for the fact that Claude Code wasn't properly conceived or designed on the onset to do what agentic tools like Hermes (and others, like Meept, or that Paperclip company with its autonomous employees) already do: create autonomous agentic workflows with clearly defined executors.

"It's a loop" is just bullshit to cover for the fact that they've got no clear, clean way to constrain context or workflows. They're trying to make themselves sound edgy so they can seem at the forefront of something they've clearly fallen far behind on.

Watch, they'll come out with some "new" feature in a couple of months which is already old hat to those at the forefront.

Vs Android:

- The device is relevant (updated and secure) for 2+ years
- Things usually work, and what doesn't work, is predictable and consistent (total grabbag with Android, where nothing will get fixed)
- IPv6 support

Vs Windows:
- No mandatory online accounts
- Stable
- Performant
- It's not Windows

General:
- superior AI inference and memory bandwidth
- Able to play older games (unless they're old mac games, ironically)
- Able to use UNIX-like tools because it's UNIX
- Superior hardware (runs cool, good battery life)
- High performance graphically and otherwise for the cost

You're mistaken. Those H4 headlights are absolutely visually assaulting, and some of the worst on the road.

It's mostly simply kept 'light trucks' out of the US market entirely - or did, for about 20 years, until federal legislation caught up and made them simply illegal for one reason or another (safety, fuel economy).

On the flip side, even most US vehicles are (Ford, GM) are made in Mexico and Canada.
