I'll be here for the rest of the day. As usual, there are countless immigration-related topics to discuss and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts.

Never fear, reaction videos are still allowed under YouTube's new 'inauthentic content' policy

YouTube has clarified its rules about repetitious content and your favorite reaction video channel won't be impacted. Earlier this month, the platform said it would be changing its rules for monetization in an effort to address AI-generated materials, but didn't include many specifics, which led many to sound the alarm that reaction videos might get swept up in the new rules. The company has now provided a few tweaks and more clear delineations in its guidelines about channel monetization polici

Learnings from building AI agents

How we made our AI code reviewer stop being so noisy I’m Paul, cofounder of cubic —an "AI-native GitHub." One of our core features is an AI code review agent that performs an initial review pass, catching bugs, anti-patterns, duplicated code, and similar issues in pull requests.

I believe this may have been triggered by a location (read, IP address) change: I’m a student-entrepreneur who recently moved from China to Kenya for school holidays.

And it appears to be no idle comment from Musk who, at times, indulges in deliberately provocative posts on the social media network X that he owns. However, that does not seem to be the case here. "It is time to begin preparations for deorbiting
