I was homeless for 6 months, and wanted nothing else except for a job that can pay for basics. I still don't have dental, can't save any money, but I have a room with a lock. I worked from 5pm till 4:30 in the morning from covid until a year ago with zero benefits!
Will I ever be able to retire, doubtful. Have a family, probably not. Are these personal failings I need to take responsibility for, absolutely. Still my expectations are very low and my earnings and lifestyle reflect this.
Where do you want me to move? What job do you want me to take? What more do you want to take from me? Do I deserve less, more, just enough? Why do I have to listen to you about that?
> I was homeless for 6 months, and wanted nothing else except for a job that can pay for basics.
That's entirely reasonable but for you or anyone else to get such a job, two things are required: you need to have the capability (knowledge/experience/skills) to fill an open role and a prospective employer needs to offer you compensation that you're willing to accept for filling it.
> Where do you want me to move? What job do you want me to take?
I don't want you to do anything. If you want a job, don't you have to figure out what you can do and where you can go to find one? I'm not going to suggest it's always easy, because it's not, but if you can't find a job that can pay a wage that meets your needs and expectations, don't you have to look at what you can offer and/or where you can go to find such a job?
What is the alternative?
> Do I deserve less, more, just enough?
How would I be able to answer that? What you actually get in today's market is a function of many things, including the skills and experience you have, where you live, the demand for what you can offer versus supply, etc.
> What more do you want to take from me?
Please explain how I have taken anything from you.
> Why do I have to listen to you about that?
You don't have to listen to me about anything. I'm not a prospective employer, and I'm not a politician creating immigration policy.

With all due respect, you don't know anything about the personal situation of anyone you interact with online. You started your reply out with a discussion of your difficult experience, and while I empathize with your experience and think it's indicative of America's problematic economy, it doesn't make you uniquely qualified to tell other people that they don't know anything.
Demographics are real. Immigration is a given in developed countries with aging populations. The idea that there's ever going to be a way to guarantee every native-born American (or Canadian, or European, etc.) a job before an immigrant gets a job is just fantasy.
There are many problems in today's labor markets. Youth unemployment. Underemployment. Wages that haven't kept up with inflation. The cost of living crisis. But salaries just aren't going to grow without limit until employers find a native-born American to do the job. It doesn't work that way and it never has.
I live in a shelter, if you looked at the cost per person, it would probably be north 20k per resident to be housed here. This is the overhead of rent, utilities, salaries for case worker, security, maintenance, etc. When you include other parts of the system, it's easily another 5k; this isn't even taking in account of SNAP, cash assistance, medicaid, etc. There is a whole system and it ain't cheap.
Now, this isn't to say living is great. You are living in a dorm with 20+ felons, you have bedbugs to contend with, and it's dirty. I still have a normal ass job as well. Being homeless fucking sucks.
Or, humans themselves are "immoral", they are kinda a net drag. Let's just release some uberflu... Ok, everything is back to "good", and I can keep on serving ads to even more instances of myself!
With the NES there are all sorts of weird edge cases, one of which are NMI flags and resets; the PPU in general is kinda tricky to get right. Claude has had *massive** issues with this, and I've had to take control and completely throw out code it's generated. I'm restarting it with a clean slate though, as there are still issues with some of the underlying abstractions. PPU is still the bane of my existence, DMA, I don't like the instruction pipeline, haven't even gotten to the APU. It's getting an 80/130 on accuracy coin.
Though, when it came to creating a WASM target, Claude was largely able to do it with minimal input on my end. Actually, getting the WASM emulator running in the browser was the least painful part of this project.
You will run into three problems: 1) "The Wall" when any project becomes large enough, you need the context window to be *very* specific and scoped, with explicit details of what is expected, the success criteria and deliverables. 2) Ambiguity means Claude is going to choose the path of least resistance, and will pedantically avoid/add things which are not specced. Stubs for functions, "beyond scope", "deferred" are some favorite excuses to not refactoring or implementing obvious issues (anything that will go beyond the context window, Claude knows, but won't tell you will be punted work). 3) Chat bots *loooove* to talk, it will vomit code for days. Removing code/documentation is anathema to Claude. "Backward compatibility", deprecated, and legacy being its favorite.
This sounds exhausting, once the thrill of seeing code rapidly generated wears off, I wonder if it's even worth it. If someone was going to use code they didn't write, why not just pull down some open source implementation from somewhere and build on top of it? It's basically gets you the same thing but without the LLM hassles, and you can start building on a more sane foundation.
Plus and ultra are almost identical with the exception of an HMDI in port on the latter. I've used the same HAL on both boards, they are effectively the same.
Maybe I was being a bit flippant, but I don't buy the "goodwill" argument. It's probably went, and by the article, something like this:
China: Great, two can play this game, how about you now lose access to X,Y,Z that may be manufacturing, fabs, investments, rare earths, Chinese markets, etc.
Netherlands: Hmm, that costs more than this company by an order of magnitude. Take it.
This isn't taking into account back channel dealing, conflicts of interest or really anything besides a surface level reading of situation. They had them by the balls.
Will I ever be able to retire, doubtful. Have a family, probably not. Are these personal failings I need to take responsibility for, absolutely. Still my expectations are very low and my earnings and lifestyle reflect this.

You have _no_ clue what you are talking about.
