I think a better analogy would be comparing to an ancient human instead of an ant. An ancient human would have none of the basic abstractions that we take for granted today like literacy and arithmetic, so it would be very difficult for them to even attempt trying to understand quantum mechanics. But I don't think it's impossible because our ability to learn by stacking abstractions is basically endless——so far as our health permits at least.

I'm not sure if this is a consequence of reading about The Truman Show but, is every comment here made by a bot?

We have “laws” and routinely conduct “experiments” which are kind of unheard of in CS.

In the first lecture, Abelson says Computer Science is neither a science nor is it really about computers. Considering the current ML paradigm, maybe CS has finally earned its name as a science.

Bruh they are literally called “AI glasses”. If it succeeds, it’s a success for AI.

I wonder how much they can innovate on the chip design frontier by using internal models. They’re certainly incentivized to work on this but what’s funny is Nvidia’s investment will probably be paying for a part of this.

Its a proclamation, not an executive order. This is important to keep in mind because Congress granted explicit statutory authorization to the President in the Immigration and Nationality Act 212(f) and is unlikely to be cut down by the courts for this reason:

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

Also interestingly, it seems to only explicitly impose restrictions on entry into the US. But most visa holders are already in the country, and atleast according to this proclamation, they'd be unaffected.

I don't see your point, the section describes a restriction on "entry into the United States". Most H1b visa holders are already in the US so this doesn't apply to them.

Mission Planner is an alright GCS but awful for configuration. Use this instead https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator.

And if you're looking for other ground controls, you could try out QGroundControl or Mavproxy (terminal based).

This is more a bad look for Intel than anything truly exciting since they refuse to produce any details lol

Thank you for responding so quickly.

I asked this question in the first place because I heard/read that an EB1A application is a little more likely to be accepted if you already possess an O-1 visa. The reasoning behind this being the similarity in the eligibility requirements for the O-1 and EB1A applications make them more “compatible”.

What do you think of this?
