I Struggled to Find a Job After College. To Pay Rent, I Started Doing Something Highly Controversial.
I Have a Warning for Everyone. Consider this my open admission. When I graduated from UC-Berkeley with my "useless" comparative literature degree, into one of the bleakest job markets in recent American memory, I thought to myself, . That was what brought me to marketing myself as an "academic editor," and an "admissions essay advisor," on various freelancing websites last fall. I figured I had done my fair share of editing for friends throughout the years, and I needed another gig to supplement my inconsistent substitute-teaching paychecks.

A New Game Turns the H-1B Visa System Into a Surreal Simulation
Inspired by real immigrant stories, H1B.Life captures the uncertainty, trade-offs, and pure luck that shape the lives of people trying to build a future in the US. When Allison Yang moved to the US from China two years ago, she noticed that immigrants often talked about their visa status like they were playing cards. The former Chinese journalist and founder of the game studio Reality Reload was at an event in New York when she heard fellow Chinese immigrants talking in confusing terminologies, like playing a Queen, Knight, or Ace. Everyone introduced themselves by words like H-1B, OPT, L-1, O-1, NIW--names of legal immigration categories in the US. With their cards on the table, they could start talking in greater depth about each person's immigration journey.

This gave birth to learning-augmented algorithms, which use these predictions to go beyond the standard long-standing worst-case limitations. The design of such algorithms requires establishing good tradeoffs between consistency and robustness, i.e. having improved performance when the predictions are accurate, and not behaving poorly
