I love grain! 16mm vibes


Bruh did I see browser mcp logo


You might have seen this OSS logo in one of our videos: https://lucide.dev/icons/bot


1. If you're offering 'Try Wan 2.1 For Free', offer some free credits on new sign up? 2. Before sign-up i entered some text, please preserve it after signup. I shouldn't have to type again

Looks cool though!


There's nothing more euphoric to me than working on a good project which I thought of as an idea and watching it turn real. I can work on it all day and not feel tired.. in the zone, meditating.. building.


I love this. Once made a pdf editor by converting a doc to HTML then throwing in contenteditable="true" in the top-most div lol


I had the same bright idea, but it doesn't work Firefox.

Turns out that it creates two representations of the PDF content - one is text, which has 0 opacity and another is prerendered image of the same layered on top of it. The latter is what's displayed. So while you can enable contenteditable and get the editing cursor, no changes you make will be shown. Oh, well.


What do/did you use to convert pdf to html?


This is common knowledge. Fucking pricks should be banned. Ruining H1B prospects for many deserving candidates


> Ruining H1B prospects for many deserving candidates

Not a story about TCS abusing H-1Bs.


> Ruining H1B prospects for many deserving candidates

H1B shouldn't exist, there is no shortage of domestic talent for what amounts to standard office work. The sort of things I've seen done by H1B is nothing short of appallingly bad which makes this whole debate all the more infuriating.

Visas do exist for truly exceptional talent.


Love prepending 'explain' to arxiv links these days xD https://explainarxiv.org/abs/2502.03387


I don’t have enough karma to downvote adverts.

You can just highlight the text


I'll fix that for sure! thanks


Damn I was part of may the 4th lay off from Shopify. They locked me out instantly from my crucial immigration related document on my work laptop, and there was no help whatsoever. Very ugly. Still remember.


Was it on your work laptop for a reason?

Good reminder, never mix work and personal. Or at the very least maybe use a cloud service or a thumb drive.


In many countries, a number of visas are employer bound or sponsored, so there's a wide array of reasons why some relevant documents might live in the corporate sphere. Depending on policy, you might not be allowed to transfer it to a personal device. There are often many more documents to a visa than just the visa itself.


> Depending on policy, you might not be allowed to transfer it to a personal device.

That's true, but it makes it all the more reason that you want to get that squared off ASAP while you have infinite access to HR/a manager to help you rather than scrambling to try and do it while the clock is ticking on access to your machine/the building etc.


Even if it was a sponsorship, I find it strange that you can’t have copies of the immigration docs so that you can at least explain to immigration what’s going on. I’d imagine there is case number or something that you could keep?

Otherwise what happens? You can’t even explain or prove your current situation? Seems draconian.


Name and shame, good. Only when we name the perpetrators, we can help others avoid bad employers, of which there are way to many already.


Was also laid of from Qantas when my dad died from cancer 2 months ago, I'm still flabbergasted by it


Well, the person who decided to lay you off probably didn’t care enough to know, if that makes you feel any better.


40 years ago an autobody shop near me (where I lived at the time) went bankrupt. The employees came to work in the morning and the door had a new lock. It was 6 months before they could get their personal tools back. Mechanics provide their own tools, so this meant they couldn't really get a new job (or could but only after investing thousands in tools that they already owned but couldn't access).


this is why I regularly back up important documents to my personal computer. payslips, w2's, etc. never know when you might be terminated and lose access.
