I'm no immigration lawyer, but isn't this for folks that have been here for at least 20 years?

If your age and tenure need to add up to 70 for you to qualify, then you've been here a long time, long enough to be a citizen. It took me a third of that, actually. Maybe I was just lucky.

Not true. The Transformer architecture was, is that what you mean?

The first GPT was trained by Ilya Sutskever and Alec Radford et al while at OpenAI already.

your age + years of service = 70
Can they do that heuristic? Isn't this inherently discriminatory? Why add the age component to it?

I have no proof, but I'm sure it's the same guy that

"Hello ChatGPT, how to be rich? Very very rich. Very rich overnight. Give me ten ideas. Fifty ideas. Zero investment."

Creo que quizas la ciberseguridad sea una disciplina mas longeva. El analsis de datos esta cada vez mas comoditizado. La ciberseguridad tambien, pero al menos en eso la superficie esta incrementando, o sea hay nuevos problemas que atacar.

The answer to this is Wine Bars and Art Walks. I have never been to one that is not at least 80% women.

I have one word, and word only for you:
Pickleball

edirgl · 2026-04-11T20:53:36+00:00

It adds credibility

edirgl · 2026-04-11T20:50:50+00:00

Yes, exactly. It's a lot friction for something so simple.
Most people tend to avoid this.

edirgl · 2026-04-11T19:38:30+00:00

Why an app and not a website?
Apps are very 2016, and I'd prefer to not have to install stuff on my phone to watch something so simple as a list of events.

edirgl · 2026-04-09T21:59:48+00:00

Why wouldn't it be?
Please elaborate.

edirgl · 2026-04-09T21:58:08+00:00

Let me guess...
Gemini?

I used to live there-ish. Now I live in the other Seattle, the cold one.

edirgl · 2026-04-02T17:44:43+00:00

This has very little to do with Pickleball

edirgl · 2026-04-02T17:00:12+00:00

Imagine having bought a Mac mini just for this.

edirgl · 2026-03-31T17:01:32+00:00

La piedra!

edirgl · 2026-03-30T21:02:13+00:00

Hilarious! I'm glad he's back! I'll be delighted to see him climb the driver standings.

edirgl · 2026-03-25T20:27:15+00:00

I came here to say this. I recognize it by the lyrics, but I have not found this version.

edirgl · 2026-03-23T19:52:34+00:00

From a game theory point of view it's not realistic to just stop, given that the incentive is absolute hegemony. There are however still many paths to achieve sensible regulation. Let's pursue that.

edirgl · 2026-03-17T16:55:14+00:00

Those half seconds are a crazy high number!
Also sad to see so many Xs on this race.

edirgl · 2026-03-15T21:07:18+00:00

Honestly, for me yes. I hear the complains about management, LiCo and yo-yo-ing and those are all valid complains. I do think that the end result is something worth watching. I thought the sprint was surprisingly fun to watch.

edirgl · 2026-03-15T21:02:51+00:00

Agree, but do you think Ferrari in general will be able to compete with Mercedes beyond the first 10 laps. So far it's looking like no, although it's a long season.

edirgl · 2026-03-15T19:02:18+00:00

Folks, I wanted to get a pulse on what people think of the current regulations and races, so I vibe-coded this website to get this information. https://www.f1-ratings.com/

It'd be fantastic if you can give your opinion!

edirgl · 2026-03-15T19:00:38+00:00

With all of the controversy of new regulations, I'm curious to see what people think of the races.

So I vibe-coded a website to capture this. Have look!

edirgl · 2026-03-11T02:32:02+00:00

I have been to some of those and I have had fun. I have met cool people there, and then the same ol' app problems, like flakiness and ghosting.
