İ cannot believe you are ratiolising this. Refugees are not the same as criminals. İ agree it is not racist, but this is a violation of human rights. Slowly but surely rights of people in the US are being chipped away, like boiling frogs.
> They are both groups with a high likelihood of skipping town instead of showing up for sentencing.
Could you clarify how broadly you define both "groups" and provide a source demonstrating that either has a high likelihood of skipping sentencing, or even just regarding Haitians in Springfield? As far as I know, most Haitians in Springfield have attended immigration-related or -adjacent hearings and sentencing whenever required of them.
> And most of them were never refugees. They were economic migrants who were already in the country illegally when Haiti had an earthquake.
This is false on all counts. Most Haitians in the US (not just in Springfield) fled political crises or violence [1]. Most Haitians in Springfield entered the US legally under programs such as Humanitarian Parole and have been staying in the US legally for every second since then [2], whether or not their continued stay relied on TPS, until the federal government revoked TPS without following the federal government's own procedures.
I don't know how intentional your choice of words was, but describing education as a 'product' is a sad reminder of the current state of the world. It's as if every action and experience in life must be translated into money.
Colleges, let alone Universities, used to be much fewer in number.
It used to be more widely known that the better Colleges, that is mostly the Ivy League and the top Liberal Arts colleges, were the only educational institutions that mattered in terms of imparting the vaguer yet more elite type of education of which you are likely thinking.
That is, the institutions who reliably facilitate the fuzzy process of becoming an educated person who can think like one. In the elite sense of these things.
What we've lost to an extent, in the multi-decade long taxpayer funded college degree bonanza, is that it is these elite institutions which are still seen as the only colleges that matter in the sense that I think that you are implying.
Other colleges are not truly valuable in this sense. So what are they good for? They are good for work training and certification pathways.
Universities have no problem charging obscene rates, which is hard cash, for something that they too would like to be only distastefully associated with money when debating the merits.
If it isn't translatable to money, then make it cheaper. Or keep the value firm and high, but also let's talk about what is being sold.
I'd always assumed the opposite, seeing as a browser's primary function is to parse HTML text into DOM nodes as efficiently as possible.
But on the other hand, since document.write (rightfully) gets such little usage - and has a multitude of footguns - I wouldn't be surprised if browsers used a different, slower code path when executing it; if only to prevent it from borking the parser.
If any of those 16 developers were at the by some allegedly 20x productivity with AI models it would have been positive on average, but none were even close to that.
So I feel its fairly safe to say that models aren't even close to 10x productivity gain for average developers, so developer jobs are not really in jeopardy so far. If it was easy to be more productive with AI models then this study would have found that, the only productivity gain this study could have missed would be if it was really hard or if the gain was really small, and both of those means it wont replace most developers.
