The vast majority of H1-Bs are not the top talents.

Do these people not watch any TV shows? Just screwing around in their lab, apparently not a care in the world, and not once they any of them wonder what would happen if something went wrong.

> All the proprietary bits were just moved from the kernel into userspace

No, the bits were moved into firmware that runs on the GSP processor in the GPU.

> It sometimes fails to understand the meaning of questions,

No, it never understands the meaning of the question. That's the whole problem with LLMs.

Nowhere in this summary or in the article is there even an attempt to define "low-code" and "no-code". What do these terms mean?

Slashdot used to be great.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

A much simpler solution would be to award the visa by salary alone. Take all the applications for the year, remove the obvious invalid ones, and give the visa to the highest X salaries. That encourages employers to pay as much as possible for a position without having to figure out what the "right" salary for any given position.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Oops. To continue: I'm just not seeing that it is so hard to access. But then, I use a Linux desktop, which has always come with a proper PDF renderer, there has never been a need to download "Acrobat".
