BrokenCogs··on USCIS Will Grant 'Adjustment of Status' Only in Extraordinary Circumstances
Where in the memo does it say "only if they do not maintain lawful status"? there are plenty of people adjusting under employment based petitions who have non-immigrant visas (eg O-1) which are not dual intent.
BrokenCogs··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says

BrokenCogs··on Map of Metal
Check out the band smash stereo, and check out the doom (2016) and doom the dark ages sound tracks.
BrokenCogs··on Map of Metal
I started learning guitar in 2006 and my guitar teacher pointed out how metal originated from Hendrix's sound. I always thought that was common knowledge

BrokenCogs··on Two computers, one monitor, zero fiddling (2025)
Most monitors don't have a keyboard and mouse input...

BrokenCogs··on Garry Tan, the CEO of YC, accused me of unethical reporting
It's just text files Garry!
BrokenCogs··on Ontario auditors find doctors' AI note takers routinely blow basic facts
Outlandish claim, you better show some evidence. I've reviewed several medical charts too and the error rate is much lower than that - typically everything is dictated and transcribed which are fairly mature and accurate technologies
BrokenCogs··on StarFighter 16-Inch
I've had a very poor experience with the starlabs starlite tablet. Touchscreen and various hardware issues that I received little help with from their customer support.

AdP is the equivalent of pelicans on bicycles
BrokenCogs··on GPT-5.5
In binary that's just a 10x engineer
BrokenCogs··on GPT-5.5
I'm here for the pelicans and I'm not leaving until I see one!
BrokenCogs··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
Yes we all know that, but we still like to see the pelicans because it's a tradition more or less
BrokenCogs··on Codex for almost everything
There's a systematic marketing campaign from oai on reddit and HN - there's a huge uptick of "codex is better than claude code" comments and posts this last week which is perfectly timed with the claude code increased limits
BrokenCogs··on Codex for almost everything
sam altman realized the molotov cocktail incident was not enough of a story to get sympathy, so now he's just drumming up his bots for good oai PR.

BrokenCogs··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
The problem is sam is a prolific liar, as has been proved many times.

It's difficult to sympathize with the boy who cried fire

BrokenCogs··on How to get better at guitar
I'm actually trying to build something similar to this for personal use, not as a product. What did you find was the most difficult technical step when building? I'm finding it particularly challenging to separate rhythm and lead guitar parts (both in terms of stem separation and also when transcribing by ear).
BrokenCogs··on Show HN: I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work
But it isn't the OP's responsibility to compare their project to all other projects. The GP could themselves perform the comparison and post their thoughts instead of asking an open ended question.
BrokenCogs··on Show HN: I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work
Who cares how it compares, it's not a product it's a cool project
BrokenCogs··on Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs
Now please build a frontpage for all the frontpages on blogs
BrokenCogs··on LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer
You're absolutely right!
BrokenCogs··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
The Matrix style human pods: we live in blissful ignorance in the Matrix, while the LLMs extract more and more compute power from us so some CEO somewhere can claim they have now replaced all humans with machines in their business.
BrokenCogs··on Autoresearch on an old research idea
Does autoresearch work for projects that are not llm based? Eg in karpathy's example he is optimizing the nanogpt. What if I wanted to improve a Unet for image segmentation?
BrokenCogs··on OpenClaw is a security nightmare dressed up as a daydream
What are the pros of using openclaw?

Using telegram? Being able to automatically create calendar events based on emails?

BrokenCogs··on Canada slips in World Happiness rankings, due in part to social media use
The CBC is reporting the analysis of The World Happiness Report - it's not coming to its own conclusions. Maybe you should read the article and original source yourself before making hasty comments.
