Great story. Alexei is definitely a lucky man to be surrounded by good friends otherwise it’s too easy to be teased by your friends like your acting like some sort of philosopher or something.
No, his campaign pledges stated:
6. Ensure Our Legal Immigration System Puts American Workers First Republicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those admitted to our Country contribute positively to our Society and Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources. We will end Chain Migration, and put American Workers first!

He has been pretty good at sticking to his campaign promises.
I don't see how nearly killing the H1B program goes against that pledge. If anything it sounds like something that they could spin as following this pledge.
just like he nearly killed international trade with his 'surprise' tariff announcements?
Whitehouse already clarified the new fees apply to new applicants, not current H1B. It's an opening gambit, designed to shock people and get them to the negotiating table. If not, they will continue to ratchet up the pressure.
I wouldn't mind help with grocery orders. I like to check which apples are on special and maybe buy a different variety from normal depending on the price.
My grocery store makes this really tedious because they don't have a feature to sort by price per pound. So I have a stupid ritual where I ctrl-F "($0." and repeatedly ctrl-G to see all the apples under $1/pound. Then I do it again with ctrl-F "($1." to see the ones in the $1-$2/pound price range. And there are several other products with similar annoying processes.
If an AI could just do that for me, it would save me time. I don't actually think present-day AI would do it reliably enough, but the concept sounds fine.

I just look at the flyers that come in the Sunday newspaper. Problem solved in under 30 seconds with near-zero effort.
Reminds me of the one-button Amazon magnets that you'd stick to the refrigerator.
Press the "Gatorade" button, and Gatorade shows up at the front door the next day. Except that it might cost you $2.49, or it might cost $12.88. There was no way of knowing beforehand.
(Those things were awesome tech, BTW. You'd program it with your phone via the equivalent of an acoustic modem.)
Not at all, this is the size of a supermassive black hole, 50 million times the mass of the sun, like the one at the center of every galaxy. Sagittarius A*, the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, only has a mass of 4 million suns.
They have always been a mystery, because it's not entirely known how these supermassive black holes could have formed, since the known methods of star collapse have upper bounds on size too small to account for these large black holes. The article mentions two hypotheses, primordial black holes somehow formed in the first second after the big bang, and direct collapse of large gas clouds into a black hole.
It's also very exciting to have an explanation for one of the many many "red dots" that were first spotted by JWST and have been very mysterious. If all these were super massive black holes without galaxies that would be fascinating.
Not when I want my notes to contain my own thoughts or reminders to myself. That's only in my head and today I either have to miss out on what is being said next to type it out, speak up in that moment (even if not really on topic), or lose the thought entirely.
I haven't found that to be very accurate. I suspect the internal idiosyncrasies of a company are an issue, as the AI doesn't have the necessary context.
Seems like it would be much easier to solve that problem than it would be to cross the brain barrier and start interfacing with our thoughts, no? Just provide some context on the company etc
“Sounds like it would” yes, but on practice no off the self solution works remotely well enough.
> Just provide some context on the company etc
The necessary “context” includes at least the name and pronunciation of the names of all workers of a company with a non English first name, so it's far from trivial.
It’s fair only if he does it at the last minute OR the seat goes unsold.
