rebekkamikkoa··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Absolutely. I don't think they will be happy.

So many great students will be off the market. This will affect to the whole tech space. No way they will be happy with this decision.

rebekkamikkoa··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
I don’t think this is realistic at all.

It basically means a huge percentage of these people might never come back. Once you go back to your home country, life moves on. Your plans change. Your path changes. And that could be terrible for the economy.

Hundreds of thousands of people either wouldn’t enter the local economy, or they’d be delayed for a very long time. I really don’t see companies being okay with that. Think about all the students who are ready to enter the job market. Instead, they’d have to go back home, wait for a visa, and only then come back. That kills the speed of the economy and makes hiring way more unpredictable.Or at the very least, it would seriously slow things down.

rebekkamikkoa··on Steve Wozniak cheered after telling students they have AI – actual intelligence
I really like how he approaces AI. Not the tone other leaders are talking, but much more human and much more collaborative. How young people actually can help with the AI shaping. For example Eric Schmidt was really terrible at his speach in front of University of Arizona.

rebekkamikkoa··on Jigs, Products, and Appearances: The Vibe Coding Distribution Problem
This feels similar to AI-written books. Three prompts in ChatGPT and then Amazon do not make a book. But AI plus serious editing, structure, taste, and iteration can help make one.

Vibe coding is similar: generating something app-shaped is not a product, but it can become one.

rebekkamikkoa··on Minnesota becomes first state to ban prediction markets
It’s hard to pretend this isn’t at least gambling-adjacent when most people are simply betting on outcomes.
rebekkamikkoa··on Show HN: Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasks
Hi Antoine!

Interesting point about backend variance. Do you think serving layer should become part of standard LLM eval reporting?
