From the USCIS policy directive.

>> admitted into the United States as nonimmigrants to depart rather than pursue adjustment of status. Such aliens are generally expected to pursue an immigrant visa and admission from outside the United States if they wish to reside permanently in this country.

H1-B was already a dual intent visa. Are they trying to create a new visa category?

Whatever they are trying to get to this is a big concern for all H1B employees.

>> Next, we will work with critical partners—including US and allied governments—to expand Project Glasswing to additional partners.

That means, they intend to make a load of money before a general release. It is a good strategy.

50,000 vehicles per year capacity is a lot. Is there really demand for so many vehicles?.

>> This makes the Tesla Semi the lowest-priced Class 8 battery electric tractor on the market,

How much is the difference?. Critical details left out.

>> specs confirm a 500-mile range

Aren't there trucks with this range already?

>> "Tesla Semi as a Service" model is needed to eliminate the capital expenditure barrier entirely,

Good but how is this novel?

This is a big news for AWS hosted products.

Microsoft Azure has been the worst interms of maintaining a highly available service and also managing predictable latency.

Their azure customer support is bad. Not ready for any real enterprise cloud offering. They behave like Comcast customer support.

It was absolutely idiotic to lock it down to Azure. It wasn't meant to be an iphone+at&t combo where the phone is an end all be all.

A cloud product depends on a lot of services and nobody would switch cloud providers for a candy.

We all hope this to be easy but it is extremely difficult to get 2 departments with different reporting structure work together. Getting 2 companies work together for mutual benefit is like asking 2 political parties to work together.

New comment by chopete3 in "Small models also found the vulnerabilities that Mythos found"

chopete3 — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 19:04:33 +0000

The impact of the Mythos announcement on the cybersecurity firms( like Crowdstrike,ZScalar etc) is big enough(10-15% drop in stock price) and this pushback is expected.

Companies like Aisle.com (the blog) and other VAPT companies charge huge amounts to detect vulnerabilities.

If Cloud Mythos become a simple github hook their value will get reduced.

That is a disruption.

chopete3 — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 16:02:22 +0000

>> Palantir enables genocide in Gaza, helps ICE separate families, and fuels Trump’s war with Iran.

Out of technical curiosity,where do we find more on how Palatir is helping technically?.

Types of ML jobs they are running?

Open source or AI models they are using.

What is stopping one to have a chrome or other browser window with pinned links to Email, Calendar, Drive and other web links?

Why build a full app?. They could released a Chrome extension to let users configure their links for each of those apps. Wasted effort.

Claude is moving fast.

https://grok.com/tasks

Grok has had this feature for some time now. I was wondering why others haven't done it yet.

This feature increases user stickiness. They give 10 concurrent tasks free.

I have had to extract specific news first thing in the morning across multiple sources.

There are limits to dreams.

Likely no.

Every generation needs its own acronyms and specifications. If a new one looks like an old one likely the old one was ahead of its time.

chopete3 — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 09:15:35 +0000

Solution Engineering is a highly sought after role in startups and growth companies. It is an important role in established enterprises too but it won't be seen as an IP role. It is a great escape career path for engineers from pay scale change perspective. The author didn't touch upon that part but there was certainly a big salary increase.

chopete3 — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 23:09:53 +0000

This is definitely better than merging with Tesla.

They can sell xAI/Grok to all automobile companies along with Tesla and other businesses(X.com included) just like the SpaceX services.

It would good to see how it was valued.

This is 100% true in the enterprise. Recently I was about to buy OpenAI team licenses and realized Gemini Pro is already part of our account.

Essentially OpenAI can't enter our company unless there is a compelling reason.

There will be 1000s of such companies.
