I do currently work on ML projects at FAANG. Idk I just always found HN my escape into more interesting topics, now it's just my day job.

Obviously there was a a million crypto posts and it was annoying but crypto covered a specific niche of overall software stuff (payment processing).
With LLMs it feels like every topic somehow has to come back to LLMs.
I currently work as a ML Eng at FAANG so maybe it adds to my exhaustion on the topic.
I really loved seeing what things people were up to, not the latest headline from trillion dollar company or the US government.
It feels close to just saying, make your code better and you will see less bugs.
I don't disagree but the product environment has a lot to do with how features get deployed and how closely a developer can match the real life deployment to their development setup.
World class experts make mistakes all the time, I think learning how to address bugs is probably a more valuable skill.
Some people don't realize the value of something unless you show it to them. It's a risk for sure but honestly it keeps me sane vs trying to get 10 people aligned before starting something and then running out of time.
People will happily take credit for your work after it works.
Imagine a TikTok / YT style video scrolling but after each video you have to swipe progressively more times to get to the next video.
By the time you are swiping like 30 times to slowly inch to the next video maybe people would naturally stop.
It is true in the limit but not useful in practice.
When it comes to studying food / diet studies really do need to be a lot more careful about trying to control their variables.
Nutrition science as a field seems to have few absolute truths and many many overturned papers / results.
Oversimplification and over confidence in estimation.
Engineers tend to do this a lot.
Additionally the distribution of your muscles and fat will also change.
What has happened to Americans??
* Republicans ban TikTok
* For whatever reason ban doesn't go through (was it via executive order)
* Dems pickup where republicans left off and ban TikTok
* Republicans undo ban
Why.....
Especially since it was the same republicans in both cases
This is just the state of social media...
Feels like the Steam Deck is like a Hot Rod / Muscle car and the Switch is a Toyota Corolla.
Might not be as cool or have as much HP and you aren't going to tinker without it but you can always turn it on and get to your destination.
Don't get me wrong it is a super cool console and pushes a lot of boundaries, but you don't really 100% know whether a title is going to run the way you want it to on the steam deck.
The switch is a more curated experience, you can pretty much expect every game to run properly, going to put caveat for very heavy graphic cross platform title like the new Harry Potter game, etc.
Should Twitter be banned as a propaganda / risk to US democracy?
With that being said for source you can review this site and many others that will say the same thing about intention to permanently reside with a TN visa
https://manifestlaw.com/blog/tn-visa-to-green-card
Lastly your statement of incorrectness also sites no sources so I guess we just both have our opinions at this point
An H1b allows the person to enter the country with the intention of getting a GC and can do so without having to leave the country.
A TN visa is re issued every single time you cross the border and can be denied by a border guard on any amount of misrepresentation
Secondly, your advice about the 90 day rule without context is both bad advice and can get someone's visa cancelled and stuck out of the country.
For future readers. Don't take this advice, ask a lawyer and if you intend to get a GC don't go on a TN unless you want legal complexity.
You can get a TN visa cancelled for expressing desire to stay permanently
It is so ignorant of the definition I don't even know how to find common ground.
Edit: actually I take that back the metropolitan NY area seems to encompass a much larger area than the GTA and goes across multiple states.
The prime minister is more or less a privileged PM.
He is not the head of the military, cannot create executive orders or anything of the like.
Toronto is definitely cheaper than NYC. However Toronto represents a WAYYYY higher percentage of Canadians than NY does.
Rough numbers.
GTA population ~7 million
NYC population ~8.5 million
By representation GTA represents 10x the amount of the country that NYC does.
Major cities being unaffordable in Canada pretty much means Canada is unaffordable.
The same case is not true in the US
The link you posted doesn't agree with statcan's website

Second it's hard to compare unemployment rates to 10 years ago with the rise of the gig economy. "Employment" ain't what it used to be
Additionally they realllly expanded the international student visa pool, without actually checking who they were granting visas to.
The result was that pretty much non existent colleges were created with the sole goal of allowing people to pay for a backdoor to try and get PR without high level education, skills or even language proficiency.
Lastly there used to be a cap on visas issued based an unemployment rate of 6% they removed that cap so despite unemployment being up to around 10% in major cities they are still granting tons of visas.
So yeah... They really went out of their way to expand the visa program as fast as possible with very little oversight.
Additionally in terms of actual background checks, those seemed to go out the door as Canada in the past few years has given PR to a number of people who are actively wanted terrorists as part os Isis and other terror groups
