Agreed, but that's the fault of the lawyer, not the LLM.

Humans make mistakes too. In many cases, more often than LLMs. Humans are still useful for doing work. I use AI extensively in my legal work. But I check every citation myself, manually. That means that I read the entirety of every case t

Legal professional here. This is NOT a replacement for proper legal AI assistants (e.g. Westlaw, in my jurisdiction). As far as I can tell, this is just a wrapper around regular LLMs i.e. nothing that you couldn't achieve yourself with

VPN. Simple as that. Most companies aren't bothering to check anyway, most that do aren't detecting VPNs, and for the few that do that , there are ways to circumvent detection if you are really determined.

This is a common misconception. Namely, that increasing lifespan just means extending the part where your health degrades continuously. That's actually a very unrealistic outcome for life extension technology. In general, the things th

You seem to be implying that at after a certain number of years (e.g. 79) you wake up one day and say "I'm fulfilled and have nothing left I'd like to achieve". As someone who occasionally works with terminal patients, I

You want it, but then you closed by explaining exactly why you shouldn't want it. Plus, the new baseline isn't neutral (as in, everyone is the same again). If humans can now do 10x the work as before, the employer doesn't nee

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. People shouldn't get punished for asking questions.

Suggestion: drop the loading animation. I don't think many people are going to want to use something where they are forced to wait 10+ seconds before they can begin using it. If you absolutely must have it, have an obvious "skip&q

Maybe, maybe not. At age 60 my kids will be grown up and living their own independent lives. They might even live a long distance from me. There are a lot of variables which might mean I don't see them very frequently anyway. Of course

I think many people who have children would gladly do 10 year in prison at age 60 if it meant they could leave $400m in their estate. If we pretend for the sake of the argument (unrealistically) that there's no major ethical concern, a

According to the article, the lawsuit said the coins were worth up to $400m. That's more than a "few" millions, it's $40m per year spent in jail. I think the bigger issue for him is that it will be very hard to launder a

What do you mean by "manage things"? If you mean adding/updating/completing tasks, why not just do that directly in the app? Or do you mean that it will take your tasks and perform them for you?

As an aside, app descriptions that just say "a lightweight alternative to X" are very unhelpful. That tells me nothing if I don't know what X does, and I don't want to have to go down a rabbit hole just to understand you

I'm not sure that's a fair criticism. Many things require or benefit from something even more complex to make them (car -> factory, code -> IDE, text -> editor, food -> kitchen). I think the real debate here is that wh

I don't understand this at all. Why not just skip CI altogether if you're not interested in the results?

It's popular in the sense that there's still a large community which actively uses it, develops packages for it, writes about it, etc. I didn't mean to imply that it's popular in the sense that it has widespread or mass

Firstly, the original comment was about UI rather than aesthetics. Secondly, as with everything else in Emacs, you can customise the appearance however you want. Those screenshots are from vanilla Emacs which is admittedly rather ugly. Most

I agree with you on multithreading. But for most Emacs users, the rich and highly customisable keyboard-driven UI (including packages like embark, which-key, transient, hydra, ivy/helm/vertico, etc.) is one of its strengths over t

What we need is a way for the OS to trick banking apps into thinking they are running on the platform they expect.

Is the UI really that important though? I assume most people use internet/app banking mainly to do two things: make payments, and look at transactions. I also assume most people don't do these things very often. Sure, a good UI is

That's fine when you're lucky enough to be able to avoid a banking app, but for many banks its essentially compulsory. I can't login to internet banking without entering a 2FA code from the app. I'm even forced to have m

The real solution is to combine this with a self-hosted music collection and streaming software.

Well, I don't see these sites as a complete solution. They're a way to get you from zero to "I can actually manage to write something, even if it's a bit awkward and slow". Once you cross that threshold, you make th
