The em-dash tell makes sense for things like personal technical blogs, usually written by a non-professional writer, and without extensive editing. It doesn't work so well for thin…

Maybe people should stop posting shitty LLM-written articles that don't generate any good discussion beyond "I think this was written by an LLM" and we won't have this "problem".

I'm not sure where you're getting that from, from wikipedia: > Anker was founded in 2011 by Steven Yang in Shenzhen, Guangdong, but the company moved its headquarters to Changsha, …

I feel like you have to expand the taxonomy of people expressed in milli-jobs. Does anyone out there exceed 1000 mJobs? Does anyone come the closest? Is there a suitable conversion…

Damn, imagine if an Australian or a South African billionaire did that with big media companies, oh well, that's just a weird thought, nothing to take from that.

The day of the dollar slice in NYC is dead, most places have switched to $1.50 slices.

> I hate to be that person, but the fact that so many people on HN think OF is prostitution is revealing of the site's demographics (i.e. older). It is, as some may put it, boomer …

Judging from the recent news, it's also now so weirdos online can get an AI to make CSAM about your daughter's cousin. Fascinating twist.

> 67,000 Palestinians > 30,000 Hamas fighters those are different things.

> the idea is to use AI to build super productive farms and greenhouses How? What are the mechanisms in which AI will lead to farms and greenhouses being more productive? How will …

Alcohol makes a good solvent so it extracts flavours in things that don't tend to go in a liquid. That's for liquors at least, for things like beer and wine, they're tasty drinks t…

Third time's the charm, just one more revolution and we'll have it all sorted out, juuuuuust one more /s

This unsubstantiated rumor coming from......the Secretary of Commerce? "Reuters was not immediately able to establish how the fee would be administered. Lutnick said the visa would…

> The exec also said "less than one percent of one percent" of players are filing customer service tickets about performance issues, and asked people to "code your own engine and s…

Well it's American immigration law, so who knows, really depends person by person. Like I legitimately think there isn't an objective answer to that question, it's a patchwork of l…

The points the article make come close to my gripe with ghost kitchens but don't quite cover it: they feel like scams and when I've accidentally ordered from a ghost kitchen it was…

I just assumed it was me getting old, but I do go "oh yeah that time when" and then realizing that was a literal decade ago. It all does just bleed together, COVID feels like it wa…

> Sure. Include all the politicians who have smeared Trump as a Nazi. And as a fun note: one of them is now his Vice President and the other is the Secretary of Health.

> Is the internal guidance you received different from what's published? Probably, I doubt anyone in the US government has a consistent view of what immigration laws are _and_ how …

Oh for sure, it's a very short amount of time to arrange all that. Just want to clear up the time it is, and that people do exaggerate it as having no options at all, which isn't q…

Presuming we're talking about the job offers from the article, it's for PERM, part of the process for green cards, not for H1B. As far as I know, you don't need to post a job offer…

It's 60 days, not 2 weeks, and you can transfer an H1B over to a new job within that 60 days, or if you know you're going to be terminated (e.g. you're on a PIP) then you can trans…
