So rather than point us at more Palantir marketing and YouTuber conspiracy theories, why not be a little more specific (if you can) and just tell us a bit more about that since you are allegedly an ex-Palantir?
I didn't know you could read random process memory in Linux. Where can I get documentation for things like this? I was learning about cgroups some time ago and got frustrated about the lack of documentation. I had to go read containerd code, which isn't ideal for wanting to just learn.
Scanmem[0] is a library that does this for the purposes of reading/modifying game memory and a useful resource. You can also poke around in /proc for some helpers
ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files
cat /proc/$PID/maps
cat /proc/$PID/status
Modern lingo like this seems so unthoughtful to me. I am not old by any metric, but I feel so separated when I read things like this. I wanted to call it stupid but I suppose it's more pleasing to 15 to 20 year olds?
Ancient world? The Roman Empire fell apart. You know that, right? So, turns out their worries were warranted. A culture, a civilization can go through a period of stagnation and decay, and it eventually dies. Then there's a lengthy period of chaos and eventually something else may arise. But we're talking countless generations lost in that noise.
Currently, our civilization is more united than ever. Monoculture. Not only the Western World, but The World. We're united through communication, technology, everything. And when we all start declining at the same time, through many objective metrics, mind you, including the decline of democracy worldwide, the terrifyingly low level of public discourse, reduction and profanation of our vocabulary, inequality, collapsing demographics, climate, wars etc. it's grim. It's grim, because there is no clear alternative arising... except AI.
And I don't think we want AI to be an "alternative" to human civilization, that wasn't the plan, was it?
See, that's the thing, we look around, we see the technology we live with, and we feel very personal about technological progress, as if you and I personally invented everything from the wheel, through electricity, to computers, networks, and AI. We feel in control, we feel smart, we feel so Personally Intelligent (tm) for having technology. We feel "wow, clearly if we have these sci-fi things, we're on the up and up". But technology is not you. It's not me. It has taken on a life of its own. It serves capital, not the people. As technology gets betters, humans get worse. So tech progress is not the story you think it is. And it doesn't end how you think it does.
No need to feel that way, just like a technical term you're not familiar with you google it and move on. It's nothing to do with age, people just seem to delight in creating new terms that aren't very helpful for their own edification.
Eh, one's ability to communicate concisely and precisely has long (forever?) been limited by one's audience.
Only a fairly small set of readers or listeners will appreciate and understand the differences in meaning between, say, "strange", "odd", and "weird" (dare we essay "queer" in its traditional sense, for a general audience? No, we dare not)—for the rest they're perfect synonyms. That goes for many other sets of words.
Poor literacy is the norm, adjust to it or be perpetually frustrated.
This happened to someone I know. He was working on a TN visa, had his green card approved, and was waiting for an interview. He was not allowed to leave the country, but he lost his job, and had to leave the country because of the 60 days grace period of the visa. Because he left, he lost his green card application.
You both:
1. Can't leave the country because of immigration laws.
2. Have to leave the country because of immigration laws.
So there are three paths to getting a marriage-based green card:
1. You do what's called consular processing out of the country;
2. You adjust status in the country; and
3. A fiance visa (K1). I'm going to ignore this.
For (1), your US citizen or green card holder spouse will wil an I130 visa petition to show that you're legally married. USCIS will confirm that you are legally married (including both of you being free to marry) and then it gets sent to NVC (National Visa Center) and you get documentarily qualified. This whole thing can take 6-9 months. It can take substantially longer if there are certain risk factors as far as USCIS is concerned for fraud. Large age gap, certain countries of origins (particularly the Phillipines), etc.
Once you are documentarily qualified, the foreign spouse will apply for an interview at a foreign consulate. This used to be anywhere but as per a recent rule change by this administration, now has to be the country of origin, meaning if you're Canadian you have to do it in Canada not the UK or Italy or whatever.
This may not seem like a big deal but the wait in some countries can be years long, just for the interview.
While this is all pending, you likely will be unable to visit the US because you've shown immigreant intent so you'll be denied ESTA or a visitor's visa most likely. Or, if you have a visitor's visa, you may be denied entry at the border.
For a standard case, this whole thing will take about 2 years. There are a whole bunch of steps like biometrics, police checks, etc and there are cases where you may need waivers of inadmissibility (eg if you have a 3 year bar or have a felony conviction). Those waivers can add years.
For (2), the process differs if you're marrying a green card holder or a US citizen.
If you have a marry a green card holder, they file an I130 petition and you'll get a priority date. There is a quota for these green cards. When your priority date becomes current, you the file an I485 for your spouse. Your immigrant spouse must've remained in status for this entire time up to and including when the I485 is approved. Because of the quota, this can take years and people will often become US citizens before the process is complete.
There is no quota for immediate relatives of US citizens (including spouses, parents and children under 18). If you marry a US citizen, you generally file the I130 and I485 concurrently. You can optionally also apply for advance parole, which will allow you to travel (more on that below), and an EAD, which will allow you to work until you get your green card. At this time people often get their green cards before their EADs so many don't even apply for them currently.
So, traveling. If you have a pending I485 and you leave the US you have in the eyes of USCIS abandoned that I485. You are now out of the country and most likely will be barred from re-entering the US, forcing you to consular process. You might be able to return if you have an immigrant intent visa like an H1B but it's generally recommended not to travel at all while you have a pending I485 application if you can possibly avoid it.
If you marry a US citizen, being out of status and working without authorization are both forgiven. This isn't the case for a marriage to a green card holder I believe. But if you marry a green card holder and while your application is pending they become a US citizen (as often happens), then the US citizen rules apply anyway.
So, if you are on a TN visa and have a pending I130 and I485, you have two choices:
1. You can leave the country and go back to Canada. This will abandon your I485 (but not the I130) and will force you to consular process. You'll be gone for 1-2 years most likely and likely unable to visit. This is the safest option however but obviously most people don't want to be separate from their spouse for so long, understanbly; or
2. You accept that you will be out of status and you stay. Any overstay of less than 6 months generally isn't an issue although working unauthorized is if, for some reason, your marriage petition is withdrawn or denied. If you overstay 6-12 months, you have an automatic 3 year bar on returning should you leave. If you overstay more than 1 year, it's a 10 year bar.
In the current administration, I think there are zero marriage petitions that should be done yourself. You should have a lawyer. Any decent lawyer who will be able to lay out the options as I've described.
Assuming your case is fairly straightforward and you've already filed the I130 and I485, I'd generally suggest people just accept the overstay and adjust in the US although I can certainly understand the "cleaner" (but longer) approach of choosing consular processing instead, particularly if you are still in status and don't have any automatic bar due to a 6+ month overstay.
You're phrasing this a bit oddly. There isn't any immigration law saying he cannot leave the country.
There is a law saying that if you leave the country you abandon your green card application.
Combined with losing his visa and having to leave the country, this just means that the law says if you lose your visa, you lose your green card application too.
But you can always legally leave the country forever.
In that specific situation, no they weren't. The only legal action is to leave the country, so it's impossible to claim they're being compelled to do anything else.
Yes: you get reliable source information and don’t get inaccurate summaries. E.g. last week I used Gemini to answer a plant biology question and got two contradictory answers based on minor variations in the wording because it incorrectly relied on blog spam over peer-reviewed articles for the first query.
The initial false answer was baldly asserted by the LLM without sources in the first two paragraphs but some of the phrasing it used was enough to locate the non-authoritative blog content it was apparently laundering. Had it accurately cited sources, it would’ve been easy to see that this random WordPress site saying X wasn’t as authoritative as the PubMed hits saying !X.
I second the utility of the Kagi Assistant. I didn't think I would use it much but now do so constantly. Especially because ending a regular search query in a question mark will cause the results page to lead with the Assistant answer! It's a delightful way to try both search and LLMs in one UI interaction.
Beyond this administration, the US government has a documented history of lying about the justification for military action. When people are being killed it is irresponsible to assume, with no evidence, that they are telling the truth this time.
I am not assuming the strikes are baseless, I am stating that there is no evidence for any basis, so discussing if they might be justified if some hypothetical evidence existed is pointless.
We've actually had multiple high profile intelligence leaks by the current admin because it's full of absolute idiots, and the leaks would indicate that they're about as smart as your average user on Twitter. Frankly if anyone believes their strikes have any sort of valid basis with all the leaks that have gone out then I would question their critical thinking ability.
How does the govt pick executives or companies for owning the railways?
I am thinking of the three credit bureaus in the US. These companies suck, and offer 0 innovations, but we are stuck them for the foreseeable long term.
