@CatChen @stonehoo 已报名！希望有人来🤣。话说Luma居然在iOS 27 Beta上闪退

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

@CatChen 为什么是星期四，对还要上班的人不太友好😭。话说考不考虑在Luma上开个活动这样我可以上班时间名正言顺去参加🤪

湾区刚刚地震给我直接晃醒。

@m1ssuo 同改不了🤷，无奈

But the damage you've made will remain.

[NeurIPS Conference @NeurIPSConf]

We want to speak directly to the concern many of you have expressed, and we owe you a clear explanation of what happened, why it happened, and where we stand now. We understand this situation caused genuine alarm and we take that seriously.

In preparing the NeurIPS 2026 handbook, we included a link to a US government sanctions tool that covers a significantly broader set of restrictions than those NeurIPS is actually required to follow. This error was due to miscommunication between the NeurIPS Foundation and our legal team; there was never an intention to restrict participation beyond our mandatory compliance obligations. The responsibility for that error is ours as an organization, and we deeply apologize for the alarm and impact this miscommunication had on our community.

We have updated the link and clarified the text of our policy, which is consistent with that of ACM and IEEE, as well as other international conferences and NeurIPS in the past. As in previous years, NeurIPS welcomes submissions from all compliant institutions and individuals.

We want to reiterate that NeurIPS is a community-driven event, created by and for the community, and strives to be inclusive. The NeurIPS 2026 organizing committee was particularly saddened to learn of this institutional miscommunication. The organizing committee has taken on the responsibility of running the conference this year with the goal of fostering open communication, knowledge sharing, and global scientific discourse.

We thank the community for bringing this issue to our attention and working with us through this situation.

@god77774 @wenyunchao SFO机场的安检工作是由私人承包商提供，因此受影响较小。

@kingluffywang 果然在湾区开电车还是有好处的🤔

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

@PandaTalk8 已经很多人提到了，我们一般e-filing比较���😂。

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.

@CatChen @gamespeed_2008 如果你税务上是NRA的话，开户时填写的W-8BEN上需要填外国人税号，对于中国公民而言该项是居民身份证号。（以上不构成税务建议）

@mtrainier2020 是O-1A，不是O-2

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

这是一个简单的风险控制问题：

行使沉默权：仅在对方有Reasonable Suspicion将你detain时失效。
主动配合：在对方有偏见、系统有误、证件有瑕疵、语言沟通误解、对方有Reasonable Suspicion等情况下全部失效。

从概率角度，前者的容错率一定高于后者。我们最好不赌 ICE 是好人，也不赌系统无 Bug，应当只执行最快脱离接触的程序。这才是对自己的人身安全负责的最佳实践。

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

“配合”在实践中往往意味着“延长滞留” 你假设配合出示 I-20 后 ICE 会看一眼就放行。但在现实执法中，一旦你 Consent to search，ICE 标准流程是：拿走证件 -> 呼叫后台/终端核查状态 -> 比对指纹/照片。 这个过程短则十几分钟，长则数小时。这种配合，实际上是把你自己长时间钉死在原地， 这才是真正增加了招来其他人围观和事态升级的风险。

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

@Rexercraft 第三，混淆了“礼貌”与“服从”。援引第五修正案权利完全可以做到Polite but Firm。真正的De-escalate是明确界限，而不是无底线让渡权利。鼓励学生在没有律师在场、不确定是否被detain的情况下就积极配合，无异于建议学生把自身安危寄托在个别执法者和并不完美的政府数据库上，这才是真正的赌博。

[Mingkai Chen @mingkai_c]

@Rexercraft 第二，合法身份并非免死金牌。现实中有大量持合法签证者因回答不当（这也是为什么建议你在没有律师在场时不要回答任何问题）、随身携带电子设备被搜查（这是配合后的连锁反应）或系统数据错误而被错误羁押的案例。
