brookhaven_dude | 6 years ago | on: H-1B in 2020: Immigration Visa Faces Further Restrictions
So much misinformation in this thread. H1B's don't get paid lower. Law requires that they be paid market wage and no native workers are being undercut.
If you see this happening, then you can actually report it to DoL (I have had a call from a DoL investigator about H1B abuse at a past employer based on a complaint filed by an employee).

Are there any quantum simulating frameworks that I can download on my high performance gaming PC and start playing with simple quantum programs?

Come to Atlanta. Highest tree density among any major metropolis. Nicknamed "City in a Forest".

It's not "stealing"
brookhaven_dude | 6 years ago | on: Lots of Job Hunting, but No Job, Despite Low Unemployment
You are wrong on that. A company I worked for was investigated after a complain about H1B process. I actually had an investigator call me asking all kinds of questions. They do take complaints about H1B abuse seriously.

It is illegal to hire an H1B if a qualified American is available. You should file a complaint with DoL.

What do you say about neural networks with thousands of parameters?

Lack of evidence is not evidence of falsehood. Strong magnetic fields can make you forget things. No one know what sort of effect wrought by weak EM radiation exposure over decades. Some of us would like to err on the side of caution, if feasible. Just like GMO and organic food.

This is in stark contrast with Hinduism and Yoga - there the goal is to never come back!
brookhaven_dude | 6 years ago | on: New chips for machine intelligence
Are deep neural networks really that widely applicable that it's profitable to design custom chips for them? What about other models of AI that involve, say, discrete math or graph search?

And most of these urban dwellers did not vote for Trump or this vindictive Governor.
brookhaven_dude | 6 years ago | on: Alaska’s Engineering Colleges Prepare to Slash Programs, Lay Off Faculty
Because most of the benefits of the former are getting concentrated into the hands of educated and urban dwellers. So people want change, but end up stupidly sabotaging.
Disclaimer: I am not a Trump supporter.
