Your definition is easiest is so tortured that you definitely belong in the US.

This is regulatory capture plain and simple.

You couldn't be more wrong then. Just among the countries I've looked into: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and Spain all have a much easier immigration process. The US is notorious for their long nonsensical immigration process.

I haven't been rejected to any. I'm just monitoring changing requirements and sentiment in other countries, primarily Asia and parts of Europe. If you have suggestions for countries I'm open to them.

That depends on what you mean by accepting. Culturally or legally? Legally the immigration process to the US has always been one of the hardest and the bureaucracy around it is a nightmare.

I'm trying to get out of the US but every other country is also having their own anti-immigration moment right now.

Plaid was a security nightmare for years before they were basically forced at gunpoint to get it together and even then it just seems from the outside that they are better. I'm not sure I would trust any company by the founder.

I would love to know what alternative phone OSes exist. I would happily throw money and my engineering weight behind a promising project.

It's like PC parts being modular. IBMs greatest mistake and the industry wants to make sure it never happens again.

Ridiculous question and implication. Having a utility for something you do over and over with the same steps is automation 101.

The laws are for you and me not companies like Anthropic and Meta.

I want this but for ePaper tablets like Remarkable.

This is back to the propaganda that people need to recycle because big companies dont want to clean up after themselves.

Tokens per second. The difference between 8B and something like 16B is not as big as you might think in practical usage and 8B is a lot faster and interactive than 16B but there are certain things where it is useful to farm it out to the large model.

Distinction without a difference as it pertains to the conversation. Most of the money SpaceX received from the government was under the COTS program where NASA gave SpaceX money to develop a product and then NASA would become a customer of that product. It is as close as you can get to a technical subsidy without it being technically a subsidy.
