submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum launched the “México te abraza” employment program to help citizens deported under Donald Trump reintegrate into the workforce.
In partnership with the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial, over 220 companies have posted 63,880 vacancies nationwide, surpassing a January pledge to create 50,000 jobs.
Roles span sectors like agriculture and construction, with salaries ranging from $424 to over $2,000 USD monthly. Key employers include Walmart, Grupo Bimbo, and CEMEX.
The initiative aims to provide “dignified, well-paying work” and leverage U.S. labor experience for Mexico’s economic benefit.
DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
DHL Express, a division of Germany’s Deutsche Post, said it would suspend global business-to-consumer shipments worth over $800 to individuals in the United States from April 21, as U.S. customs regulatory changes have lengthened clearance.
The notice on the company website was not dated, but its metadata showed it was compiled on Saturday.
DHL blamed the halt on new U.S. customs rules which require formal entry processing on all shipments worth over $800. The minimum had been $2,500 until a change on April 5.
Canadian politician thanks ‘malignant narcissistic slug’ Trump for uniting his country
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
Delivering his speech to host Ben Meiselas, Angus said, “Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together.”
He continued, “It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences—all our regional fights, all our concerns with one another—and realize we actually had to stand up for something better: standing up for the rule of law, for democracy, for decency.”
Angus went on to hit out at Trump and his “incel gang” who are terrified of diversity, equity and inclusion, adding, “Your DEI nightmare? Well, we are your DEI nightmare, Donald. Canada will always be a country of diversity. We will always be a country of equity. We will always be a country of inclusion. And we will defend the rule of law.”

Peertube recommendation algo update part 2
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/Cattail
so I spent last several days making collecting watch time on both videos and livestreams more robust and work across multiple peertube instances, im sure it still has gaps in the structure so that jenk data can get in.
if you want to try it heres the link https://github.com/solidheron/peertube_recomendation_algorythm/
btw its a browser extension
so now I got two parts left that I know of first being creating the user_recomendation_vector and the function that gets recommendation based on that vector. I settle on cosine similarity vector since its easy to implement and can be run in browser with only data collected by the user device, and doesnt requires sharing outside of peertube api. user_recomendation_vector should have two part AOLR: (algorithm of last resort) which will be the words in the title, tags, and description tokenized with an float value and recomended_standard: which will be based on what category either programs or people decide a video belongs to along with an associated float value to make it a vector.
I do have issues with deciding if engagement is important, if short video should have multiplier if they’re completed, how much is a like worth, how important is it to get an end of the video.
I should add that I have made complimentary video_description_vector thats store in browser all vector dimentions are 1.

House Democrats: DOGE is building a ‘master database’ of Americans’ sensitive information
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
House Democrats allege DOGE, the agency created by Elon Musk to shrink government, is building a “cross-agency master database” of Americans’ sensitive data.
“Mass amounts” of personal information from the IRS, SSA, and voter records were uploaded into USCIS servers. Whistleblowers reported DOGE engineers accessed systems with “backpacks full of laptops,” each linked to different agencies.
This effort “disregards important cybersecurity and privacy considerations.” Rep. Connolly warned it could “violate several privacy laws.”
“Aggregation of data is building a weapon,” said John Davisson of EPIC. “It’s terrifying.”

Is there a way to set a default view everytime you switch back ti the app?
Let’s say I was looking at porn and I forget to click away from it. The next time I open the app, it’s front and Centre. I wouldn’t mind having a setting where I could be okay with every time I switch back to the app, it reloads the home page.
Maybe it only comes on after a period of inactivity?

Trump team reveals lack of expertise – and patience – as it threatens to abandon Ukraine peace talks
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Trump said he could stop war in 24 hours, but team appears daunted by negotiation with ‘a lot of detail attached to it’
Diplomacy, it turns out, is hard. The 24 hours that Donald Trump promised he would need to halt the fighting in Ukraine have long since passed. And the administration has done little of the hard diplomatic work that was required to secure landmark deals like the Dayton agreement or the Camp David accords in the past.
…
Rubio clearly wished to vent frustration on Friday, a day after Trump had said in the White House that he was waiting for Russia’s response to the proposed framework for a peace deal and expected to have it this week. The White House appears to be increasingly frustrated with Moscow, something that both European and Ukrainian officials had hoped would take place.
…
There was always an expertise gap in the difficult negotiations over a ceasefire to the Russian war in Ukraine. Now the administration appears to have a patience gap and has signaled it is ready to walk away. Ukraine does not have that option.
