Seems more likely to just lead to larger offices in India, reducing high earners here in America (even if only temporary) and reducing the amount of money that is recycled through American cities.

this seems like common retort. hire h1b or else....

we open a role on linkedin for a data engineer for about 6 hrs and we got 500+ applicants and vast majority were indeed qualifed on paper. I am baffled by employers who cant seem to find anyone in the country that doesnt need work authorization. Love to hear what types of roles and where this is happening.

Have you interviewed any of these candidates yet? I doubt that you have 500+ real candidates. My experience in the past 12 months of hiring is that you'll have maybe 10 "qualified on paper" candidates, and 490 AI-generated profiles.

Hard to be too mad at the applicants when a similar percentage of the roles might also be fake.

That might be true if you're applying for a megacorp like AWS or something but hard to feel like that's a valid argument when you're applying to a company with 2 open roles.

Small companies I've worked for are "always hiring". They leave job descriptions posted in case they get some miracle applicant.

you only got 10 qualified applicants to a generic software engineer position? i am having hard time beliving that sorry.

Its not that they can't find them. It's that if they can't exert the same control that they have over H1B visa holders, they would rather pay a lower salary (overseas).

The US government could disincentivize companies from moving jobs over seas instead of hiring local, but the current administration seems more concerned with corporate profit and stock prices than anything else.

>if they can't exert the same control that they have over H1B visa holders, they would rather pay a lower salary (overseas)

Not that I am calling you a liar, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Though, any evidence would be great... so how do you know that?

It also reduces the number of Indian people who physically reside in the US and can influence the American political system.

They can't vote.

Economic growth is not valued universally as we are seeing very clearly. There are more anti-growth people that you think.

What good is "economic growth" if the citizen/voter does not think it benefits them?

More people frequenting local business and spending the income in the local economy is generally viewed as a good thing.

It's usually about how much weight is placed on perceived negative externalities.

"largely solved" as in they the models they trained don't fall for prompt injections as often but not "largely solved" as in the underlying issue is solved at all.

Largely solved in “it only happens 2% of the times now”.

Don't worry, you only have a 2% chance of having you bank account drained any time an attacker tries their chance.

And each day a model remains unchanged, attackers get to test and experiment with how to make it tick. And every attack that works remains on the internet, forever, just waiting to be ingested as context.

"We'll just stop training and we'll be profitable!"

more likely that hosting and delivering the models will be commoditized, much like how DO, Linode, Hertzer etc all commoditized VPSs and server hosting. And you'll end up paying for virtual hardware size (or compute resources) rather than tokens

there is also https://cline.bot/cline-pass

basically the same deal as OC Go, lending credence to token commodification

This is a really ironic comment given how the US gov is getting politically involved in pretty much all science research funding and speech at the moment.

Exactly. If this continues, the US will be fighting the wrong competition against China instead of building around its own structural strengths.

Agree with all of that but want to point out one thing that is almost always true re: businesses citing loss of parking to oppose bike lanes:

99% of the time the business owners are really just mad that they personally cannot park directly outside their business anymore. They may cite nonsensical things like 2 less parking spaces outside their business will lead to less customers, but what they are really mad about is their own personal parking space going away. Very dumb and selfish

thats more of a legal requirement rather than an active advertisement to consumers

I've used Cline for a year now and very happy with it. Fits my workflow really well

I've been really liking the Cline extension in VS Code
