I have had an RFE for my Eb5 I -829 petition and my attorney submitted my RFE 3+ months ago but haven't heard anything back. Is it true that USCIS responds to RFE within 3 months or have you seen delays in RFE processing in Eb5 cases?

Stackoverflow should build a GPT style interface into its considerable knowledge-base, and if an answer is not found in existing data, pose it to the forum.

we need a paradigm shift away from search, just as google engineered a shift away from portals in the late 90s. idk what form that would take but I suspect some kid in a garage is going to come up with something...

>There NO labor shortage when many big companies belong to billionaires that get wealthier every day (even during Covid).Those companies obviously CAN pay more. The owners are not going to sleep under a bridge anytime soon.

It's this manichaean view - business bad, me good - that's the crux of the issue. You assume every business is a FAANG and sitting on piles of cash. Most businesses (50-60%?) - even in tech - are small biz and biz owners are in the same boat. Very very few companies even come close to the level of your straw-man.

And you are very wrong with the (rather comical) assumption business-owners are scrooge mcducks sitting on piles of cash. In tech, programmer salaries are hyper-inflated (compared to most other professions) and already out of reach of many SMEs and we are scraping the bottom-of-the-barrel for talent. I'm a business owner myself and I have seen this first-hand, so don't tell me there's no labor shortage.

Absolutely! The "no shortage if you pay enough" slogan is a double-edged sword.

- Is there a housing shortage if you pay enough? or

- is there a health-care shortage if you pay enough?

: : on & on.

Can this be used to deploy an "active learning" model that learns from fresh data and model auto-updates?

>Also, you posted your Linkedin. We know where you work. And you just publicly called them "shitty." If I were your boss I'd fire you. And if I were a potential boss I'd never hire someone who did that.

I think it's a bit harsh on the OP. This is an ex-work network and we are all allowed to vent. Having said that, however I feel the OPs frustration is probably unwarranted, the market is as seller-friendly as I have ever seen ( and I have been doing this for more than 2 decades).

I don't have a simple answer for you OP, other than to keep pushing and networking. It's just a matter of time...if you are determined enough.

The non-sinner line starts over there, and goes round the block.

I think you are referring to Eckhart Tolle's mindfulness. I have one of his quotes that I have clipped into my notes as:

“What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.” -Eckhart Tolle

HTH.

For us the winning feature for qdrant it has the concept of both positive and negative query vectors. Overall they are both very good! It's a matter of individual preference.

Nice writeup. Have you looked at qdrant [1] for your comparison? I found it better than Milvus.
