Gambling and fraud are rather different types of problems.

At least they're taking a stand over it.


They recently (~3 months ago) had a call for people interested in "talent engineering" to join them.

I wonder if they found their star and were able to can the recruiters.


What does "talent engineering" even mean? And do they literally put people into cans? I have so many questions.


Slop and placeholder text on the page, including this one. They should have reviewed their webpage.

"What software frameworks are relevant to Intel GPU D270?

Intel GPU D270 messaging should reference familiar AI software and serving frameworks such as PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, and OpenAI Triton, where approved. This helps developers and platform teams understand how the product fits into existing AI workflows."


Noticed this as well! Was looking for details on the software support and this FAQ entry didn't exactly instill confidence...


I like this. It means a human was involved.


Interestingly, (and independent of the ethnic and cultural background he grew up in) the article said he was a Roman Catholic by the time he expired.


If I remember correctly he converted on his death bed due to his read on Pascal’s wager.


The article reads like slop, to be honest.


Conversely, the question should be "Who is preventing American agriculture from mechanizing?"

Or, if you are such a pessimist in America's can-do attitude, instead take it from the point of view of market efficiency. If a good cannot be produced cheaply enough for the market to sustain it, the solution is not to modify the social contract and undermine the value of labor for the sake of the good.

We have always solved problems by innovation. The surest way to prevent innovation is to continually provide cheaper and cheaper labor. The Roman empire is an excellent example of this.

Undoubtedly, these issues are more complex. However, this is such a tired old canard. Wages make labor, scarcity makes innovation.


> Undoubtedly, these issues are more complex.

agreed, two points toward this are

1. American agriculture is largely mechanic already, which removes the labor completely

2. food is non-discretionary, caveats about choices of what king of "food" eg. fast vs healthy


The part of American agriculture which employs illegal immigrants is clearly not mechanized; they are not driving combines and are tending vegetables by hand.

Types of food really are discretionary. Beans are an excellent vegetable and can be raised completely without manual labor. Trading salad greens for them would not be an overall nutritional loss. Perhaps the true market price for a head of lettuce should be 1.6x in a properly labor regime.

To draw the distinction more clearly, suppose we had zero illegal immigrants working in the field and someone said “let’s reduce the price of some vegetables by a third and create a permanent underclass”. Does that sound reasonable?


in assuming illegal immigrants, bias may be perceived by others, we have visas for temporary farm workers

The outputs for the first example aren’t showing up for me.


With all due sympathy and wishes that he can continue his career in America, I have to say that a medical fraud billing charge is unfortunately going to make it much harder for him to fight the legal battle.


It also makes it harder for so many immigrants who are following the straight path.

There are so many hustlers and that forces the American system to be so antagonistic for those who do follow the rules.


Ironically, reads like slop.


I am quite happy to see such a successful outcome for this team. When looking at the landscape of AI-adjacent startups, rarely do you see such a nice balance between following the hype and providing a sufficiently useful and general service that makes technology more accessible to all.
