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.

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:

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.

I live in B.C. and applaud losing the time change, but think the choice of time zones going forward wasn't the best.

I'm expecting major buyer's remorse this winter when people realize that the sun sets at 5 in December and January, and doesn't rise until 9.

If you are an old guy with a failing heart, don't go for a heart transplant - go for a full body transplant.

Maybe just keep your brain and take the new head too, to avoid that wizened head on gen Z body look.

On a more serious note, maybe there is something to the blood boy thing? Is there an anti-aging treatment to be had?

I always preferred bayonet mounts over Edison screws. Thankfully 90% are the former around here. But I digress... I changed all my light bulbs to LED ones about nine years ago when we did some renovations and haven't changed any since. What the hell's going on with yours?

The wildlife in Amsterdam is very engaging to watch!

I'm not sure why Trump wants to rebrand AI as SI, or even what SI is meant to refer to.

In the current lingo we have LLMs=AI -> AGI -> ASI, with only OpenAI wanting to call today's LLMs "AGI", despite being sub-human in many capabilities such as ability to learn and creativity, as well as many specific areas (lack of generality).

One reason the term "AI" seems to have taken off, is because people are, maybe unwittingly, using it to refer to a whole range of largely unrelated things, not just LLMs, but also image/video generators, and things like AlphaGo and AlphaFold whole only commonality with LLMs is that they are based on neural networks. I'd bet much of the public don't even realize these are neural networks, or include them - it's just all modern computer magic - "AI".

So, is Trump's SI really intended to replace this use of AI as a catch-all term (your image generator is now "super intelligent"), or is this meant to refer to LLMs, or AGI perhaps?

Oddly the one thing that Trump does not appear to be focusing on is actual (future) super-intelligence (ASI). He seems to be wanting to rebrand what we have today, or some part(s) of it (LLMs).

Yes, but it only mentions it as a case study in what NOT to believe, and points out where it is wrong.

Which seems reasonable.

That's easy to fix around here: if the employee was working at the time, they represent the bank, so ask the bank about their GDPR policy and information about the recordings the employee made and how they're being handled.

I'd think the bank would want to stamp that practice out anyway because they don't control the recordings, which could lead to a security issue for them.

Just to add: if the government, including the police, started mass video surveillance, there would be justified outrage. Meta has more data processing than at least the UK government and consequently should be given less leeway.

As a Meta customer or user, the person with the glasses has had to agree to Meta's terms and conditions, including their data processing. For me though, an innocent bystander in the street, I haven't agreed to have information processed about me by Meta. Meta has a long suspected problem with shadow profiles, and I don't want their massive processing capabilities to be able to reference me wherever I am, even if it's in a public place. They have no system for me to make a GDPR request about the data they're holding on me. Based on Meta's behaviour over many years and statements from Zuck about privacy, they simply cannot be trusted with people's personal data.

All of science knew it - not just me! The acorn worm research is from 2003.

You're snarky response is misunderstanding what is new in this research - its not that our front/back brain correspond to the ancient front/back split nervous system, but much more specifically that they stay separate during early embryonic development - this is what is new information.

You're confusing Ernst Haeckel's original theory of "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" as a "law" (false), with the reality that embryonic development nonetheless does expose some of our evolutionary past.

e.g.

When chickens evolved from dinosaurs they lost their teeth, but they didn't lose the dinosaur DNA that creates teeth - what changed was gene expression controlling embryonic tooth development and sequencing. You might have expected that evolution would have just disabled development of teeth altogether, even if the genes for them were still there, but evidentially that is not what happened, and that is not an isolated case.

> Perhaps... but I don't think any part of the brain stem is creating poetry.

That's not what it is saying - the two nervous systems are 1) the front part, originally just concerned with sensing, that has now evolved into our mid+forebrain, including our neo-cortex which is the bit creating poetry, and 2) back part, our brain stem (+spinal cord) controlling motor and autonomous (breathing, heartrate, etc) functions.
