EB-2/EB-3 green cards which an H-1B holder usually pursues are quota-capped per country of birthplace. An Indian born applicant may have to wait for over 100 years.

I don't buy and return products that don't charge with a single usb-c cable. How can I expect good quality from a product if the maker saves on ¢1 cent? It's 2026 yet new products still keep people from going all usb-c.

It's much less than a cent.

Did you take a blood test for magnesium level?

Blood tests are pretty useless for magnesium. The deficiency is in cells, magnesium level in blood is not a good test for that deficiency.

They have blood tests for both (serum or RBC):

The Magnesium RBC Test measures magnesium inside red blood cells, providing a more accurate assessment of magnesium status than serum tests.

wouldn't a cell deficiency lead to it depleting also the magnesium levels in the blood, simply based on osmosis?

The organism dumps Mg on the blood as much as necessary because it needs to remain in stable concentrations.

When a serum Mg test comes out low, the patient already has severe deficiency and visible symptoms, so isn’t very useful unless you’re investigating a systemic issue.

As explained by my endocrinologist.

If blood concentrations drop, you die.

what is a good test for magnesium deficiency?

They only have blood tests, and that's not very useful.

Yes, I've been using Opus to write a plan and fanout sonnet subagents to implement it. Cheaper and faster

What about quality? Being cheaper and faster, while great and all, is less valuable than quality to me.

All the code an LLM produces is of questionable quality, so I'm not sure why you'd prioritize quality over speed. Speed is their only value add.

This is a wild take. All cars can perfectly drive around a track, so why would you ever want an F1 car?

Have you compared models across providers? The quality, for the same task, varies tremendously. If you don't prioritize quality you're wasting your own time when you inevitably have to re-do the code...

All code is of questionable quality.

There I fixed it

You can always have opus review the result at the end

I've had bad results with this method. If I ask any model to review the same code ten times, then I will get ten different answer.

Communicating ideas helps, but thinking out loud may not work better to some people.

Thinking silently fits Asian Americans better than Euro Americans*.

Thank you for sharing this. Growing up Asian American many teachers disciplined me and made assumptions about my intelligence for not being as vocal as the other kids. Culture shapes cognition and vice versa.

Best in terms of what? Quality Control? UI/UX?

Presumably in terms of a conventional colloquial sense that's an amalgam of those among other things.

Not necessarily UI / UX - the entire preferences -> settings change remains the best example. The rest seems pretty good.

If you have ScreenTime turned on. Port :8080 is occupied and your ubuntu apt-get in a docker build gets hash mismatch because they obviously modified packets. Let alone I am having another issue of unable to delete a private key in Keychain Access.

The whole macOS thing is amateur

Why does macOS use ports above 1024 by default? There is a reason it is reserved to be used by OS services.

Tried to use one recently - but I can't get past all the unkillable CPU hogging processes. It's clear the actuaries are running the software development department.

Port 5000 is also ocupied on macOS.

The identity issuer - the government - already has the your privacy. If you have a unique identifier from the government which websites can call the government with to verify your identity, you won't lose any privacy. All the websites get is just a unique string, no date of birth, no name, no address. This approach is the cornerstone of oauth/oidc.
