Regulated industries often have business language mandating onshore, citizens-only employment. If it isn't required by immigration, the businesses buying the product are requiring assurances (likely due to their own compliance).
As for non-protected roles, global market participation has ups and downs.
Looks like general reasoning is their target. As for who:
> The startup was launched in March 2024 by Misha Laskin, who led reward modeling for DeepMind’s Gemini project, and Ioannis Antonoglou, who co-created AlphaGo, the AI system that famously beat the world champion in the board game Go in 2016.
with the obligatory:
> Investors in Reflection AI’s latest round include Nvidia, Disruptive, DST, 1789, B Capital, Lightspeed, GIC, Eric Yuan, Eric Schmidt, Citi, Sequoia, CRV, and others.
Nothing human engineers haven't done to each other! Seriously, I've skipped companies because my inside referral talked about cultures like this.
Did you use some stuff like
https://github.com/CouncilDataProject or roll your own? Been curious about how to integrate local knowledge like this since local news seems to have lost the niche.
> Company policy doesn't apply to their personal computing.
Sure, it'll come over as "oh I'm just running an experiment" after your infra/security teams notice. Seen @ public company before current ai hype.
Nontechnical people I know are buying hardware to run claws on. As I understand it, the innovation here isn't the tech but in availability/ease of access.
> buyers think they’re buying domestic
This is hard to tell from the discussion, but are you defending this practice?
> this also loses you taste
I won't forget the in-person interview round where I coded a frontend visualization for a data graph (tracking global shipping), then fielded a post-work general interview round from the whole company (~10 ppl) about specifics and "choices" made during a rush to finish. I ended up not going due to comp, but they were acquired months later. Life is funny.
Late thought, but you could set up "beacon" locations for each client to pull a local grid derived from coordinates?
Wouldn't solve that 1s latency thing, but might be interesting in other applications.
That free upgrade refuses to work with my hardware. I am glad they are continuing security, but they are literally forcing me to install another OS (as I understand the security difference).

I used to play a tcg a bit too seriously, and sometimes seeing incorrect game states would trigger something. Part of tracking game states and derivations I guess. Only sometimes helpful in software.
Even the article points out this analysis includes both condos and single-family homes, despite their wildly different demand situations.
Some time ago, this was important to decipher the marketing behind MongoDB. Their benchmarks ran with a loose isolation (read_uncommitted iirc) that didn't guarantee a durable flush, and they'd benchmark against defaults from postgres, etc, which didn't use this isolation.
Clearly it worked for them, but I spent a few different stints cleaning up after developers who didn't know this sort of thing.
Thanks for the link. My memory from that time had it as "merely" excel issues, but as described it is a fair bit worse than that.
Generally the latter. The very short version is that he focused on cash flow, and liked (re) insurance due to success managing float and risk. From there, he'd buy/invest stable businesses and brands. Insurance wasn't his first go, he started bookie work as a kid.
As for saving, he was the guy with a big pile of money in '08 (and other times). Someone you call when your business is dying or you want to retire; he gets the deal, not you. His Bank of America warrant play was a big one from that time.
I didn't finish snowball, but the first half goes over a lot of it.

Did archive strip the author, or is this an unattributed piece? I became curious due to some of the non-neutral adjectives used.
I agree this would be a positive direction, but something that gives me pause is the forced upgrades and hardware cycle of both mac and windows now. They both scan files in your system constantly for various reasons, so for this purpose you're really stuck on *nix variants, right?
Cool idea! I had something similar for using LLMs as an intermediary not for spam but for "boring" local news matching to your profile. Court stuff, town meetings on youtube, that kind of thing.
My (admittedly aged) experience with XBRL is that each company was able to define its own fields/format within that spec, and that most didn't agree on common names for common fields. Parsing it wasn't fun.
As I understand it, with low (<1%) interest rates... Take a low-interest loan against a % of your wealth. If you can get the loan, then it seems like you get to have your cake (unrealized appreciation gains) and eat it too (non-income money now.)
Not riskless, but there's a lot of upside.
This goes somewhat deeper than you might expect. "Literal" spells are for sale on e.g. ebay, and presumably authenticity/belief are managed like reputation?

> when it was non-white immigrants
Irish and Italians in my area would beg to differ. I'll grant it wasn't federal policy, at least.
> The large incumbents would simply poach away key people and have that R&D in a month!
This reads to me like those key people have no incentive to stay after applying their knowledge to the org.
