The best and easiest option because your spouse is in H-1B status is to apply to change your status to dependent H-4 status using USCIS Form I-539. As long as this is filed during your grace period, you can remain in the U.S. while the application is pending/until it is approved.

What happens if / when you eventually find a job? Can you file another change of status to a H1B? Does the status of the original change of status app matter? (e.g., can you apply for a COS to H1 while the COS to H4 is still pending?)

Thank you!

Apologies for promoting my project again (did this in at least 2 other threads related to RSS), but I'm weirdly proud of it: I'm curating a list of human-written blogs on my blog reader/discovery/search engine called Minifeed: https://minifeed.net/blogs/

There's an OPML export available as well: https://minifeed.net/blogs/opml.xml

This is great! Thank you. I'm trying to figure out where I can stash the link so I don't forget about it.

Old man yells at cloud vibes. If these services were so devoid of value, competitors will spring up and eat their lunch. Capitalism still works. Silicon valley startups have made their money disrupting broken customer experiences in basically every single vertical. They are not immune from the same disruption.

Hi - could you tell me a little bit more about the interview process at HRT? Is it your standard FAANG-style leetcode / system design interviews? Or is it more math focused?

> To support modern AGIs, we designed Taichi—large-scale photonic chiplets

“Modern AGIs” because we had classic AGIs? Last I checked AGI remains in the realm of science fiction and prank tweets. I hope this is a translation snafu as it reads like clickbait.

I'm still on the fence about government doing a parent's job here, especially for kids under 13, but I can't stand that no one pushing these bills has come up with an actually reasonable age verification method.

We're barreling towards an internet that requires an id before you can use it.

It's a bit upsetting but I don't harbor the early 2000s naiveté about the free internet where regulation doesn't exist, the data exchange happens over open formats and connecting people from across the world is viewed as an absolute positive.

Govt meddling on social media platforms, the filter bubble, platforms locking data in, teenage depression stats post Instagram, doom scrolling on tiktok have flipped me the other way.

Internet Anonymity is going to die - let's see if that makes this place any better.

FAO: People who're claiming GenAi will replace artist jobs.

It might happen but it's extremely difficult even using state of the art models like stable diffusion v6 to get consistent results. There's usually some part or the other of the picture that's broken and it takes a lot of work with prompting, blending, varying to get it to work.

Buy the subscription for 30$ or whatever and give it a shot. First you'll be amazed but then you start noticing the minor flaws and how much effort it takes to make it good enough.

It's still possible that some jobs will get replaced, not every NPC detail needs to be hand drawn perfectly, but let's see.

I think HN should come up with its own Internet Artifact Museum :)

I'm happy to collab if folks want to.

yes, it might be challenging to gain access once you are unemployed, in that case try Reddit?

r/cscareerquestions is pretty good even if most people there are the leetcode griding new college grads.
