You’re right. This article describes many lawsuits of how U.S. citizens would get replaced with Indians on H1B. > Insiders Tell How IT Giant Favored Indian H-1B Workers Over US Emp…

I agree. H1Bs are akin to indentured servants who do not have the ability to vote. Meanwhile, employers make large payments to politicians to keep the status quo. What I dislike mo…

The bad experience made me realize how easily the data I put out there can be used against me or nefariously. If you have daughters you may know about people making indecent photos…

Perplexity’s business model is still following the Google model of selling people to advertisers. The only LLM service with privacy protection I found so far is Claude. If I am pay…

I do not know about Perplexity because I avoid it. Instead, I prefer and pay for Claude over Perplexity because Claude offers actual privacy protections. All other services take in…

Someone who works at LinkedIn told me that Linkedin measures success by how many times a user opens the app. It would not surprise me if the numbers are exaggerated to make someone…

I wonder what would happen if we purposely start polluting the training data? It may be too late for older technology but technology is always changing. If this is a way for me to …

The awesome thing about not going to the office is that I no longer have to deal with repressed nerds and tech bros. I hate being asked out for coffee after I say no for the third …

If you read TeamBlind you will see a large quantity of misogynistic thoughts from Indian men. They are so unashamed they do not even hide where they are from.

I agree. I also wonder if there will be other examples like this one that teach us something about ourselves as humans or maybe even something new. For example, I recall from the A…

Thank you for pointing out that the plant is 6 times bigger. I watched the HBO series Chernobyl and it opened my eyes to the dangers of a nuclear meltdown. I hope the new containme…
