- Actually, that’s the high-value model. Imagine you have a bunch of LLMs tuned to different sensibilities that match great jurists, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Learned Hand, maybe Aristotle to mix things up, maybe a real jurist. And your attorney tunes their arguments to be persuasive to whatever model they believe is dominant.
It’s a short leap to comparing model scores to determine a quick and dirty settlement “winner” which really isn’t that far from manual processes.
Lawyering will look different, but there definitely will be lawyers. Judging on the other hand…. Judging is the one I wonder about.
- I’d love to see some disruption of those markets. Let’s see … laws that promote rather than restrict development … search programs that reduce friction identifying maximum buildable area lots for sale … trading platforms for combining lots into larger developments … optimization of actual building technology … innovation in ownership and governance models…. Of course, none of those are strictly dependent on MHz.
- The prose is self-consciously different, makes the reader work a little harder. One can almost feel a literary water ripple or pebble garden, stillness and simplicity.
Consider an analogy: the writer knows that a reader readily digests concepts in C++ and purposely pivots to something obscure like Pony. The reader says "this is inconvenient, I need to change my process to digest your work" and the author says "that's the point."
- The technology should be resilient against GPS spoofing. If it “knows” it never left the mountain road, it’s not crazy to design it to reject an anomalous GPS signal, which might be wrong or tampered with.
- TL;DR: An EU health data firm run by ex-military cryptographers offers a web portal for encrypting documents, which inherently exposes unencrypted documents to the company and US national security laws. The media outlet incidentally also doubts the trustworthiness of military veterans from Israel.
Even following the "if there's smoke there's fire" model, unclear there's a strong scent of "smoke" here. One could write a similar guilt-by-historical-association article concerning anyone, in the same position, really. Obviously if you're uploading a file to a 3d party website, the vendor has some technical access, this should be warned.
- In the cold. The exercise-plus-hypothermia combo is a bad one. Pick one, not both.[1]

- Here is an excellent and HN-worthy writeup of the argument for legality, and the counterargument that it was an improper booby trap.[1] It seems to me most of the polarizarion on this board could have been avoided had the original article recognized (as does the one linked here) "that the legality or illegality of the pagers attack can only be determined on the basis of a detailed factual analysis and that the relevant facts are still not fully known."
I disagree with @dang's decision to leave the original link up, as it is nearly valuless in framing this discussion.

- The problem is, once you start down that sequence of the AI telling you what you want to hear, it disables normal critical reasoning. It’s the “yes man” problem— you’re even less able to solve the problem effectively than with no information. I really enjoy LLMs, but it is a bit of a trap.
- What you are observing is the trick the industry used to get approval for changing LED billboards— they “donate” say fifteen hours per month to public service announcements. This kind of concession is gold to an ambitious public servant, the old prohibitions never stood a chance. The PSA could be “stop electronic billboards” but that was the way they got through high-friction public processes.

- Manufacturers for 100 years didn’t try to wrap their fridges in ads, or tune the compressor sound to a commercial jingle. They sold mostly honest products to cool your food efficiently.
But when they add an LED display and Internet connection, suddenly they forget about cooling your food and impulsively add a bunch of adversarial functionality, meaning functions that monetize the consumer rather than keeping the food cool.
It’s like the Internet advertising ecosystem is a virus intent on infecting anything and anyone with an Internet connection, making them do bizarre customer-hostile things they never would have done otherwise.
- The combo effectively enshittified swaths of the Internet, which now is full of robo-pamphleteers acting with anonymous impunity, in ways they never would if sitting face-to-face.
I love the Internet but it normalizes bad behavior and to the extent the CJEU was tracking toward a new and more stringent standard, well earned by the Internet and its trolls.
- I don’t really understand the underlying US government program— specifically why in a time of alarm over deficits “we” are enacting new private giveaways of public funds. Cynically, I doubt the folks who enacted this care one whit about folks who will turn 18 in the year 2044, 19 years from now. They only care about pumping the stock market today and winning elections in 2026 by transforming the Federal government into something like a hedge fund with a “save the children” sticker on the front door.
As for the Dells— they really do seem to care about our children and their philanthropy is beautiful.
- Maybe, but their economic role might be more like an angel investor or VC— fund a hundred failed efforts and hang on for dear life to the few runaway successes.
The sweet spot would have been an initial term of 14years or something like that, and generous duration thereafter, limited to works that are registered and re-registered on a regular basis.
- The analyst is stuck in the past. Genomic solutions are personalized medicine. As long as there are new people, and new combinations of genes, there will be problems to solve.
Grow up Goldman.
- But imagine all the data, tech and data center companies simultaneously go into receivership. Farfetched, but indulge the fantasy.
At that moment what choice would the government have but to conduct a rescue that at least keeps the lights on, and probably more? What’s the alternative? Extensive data losses, business interruptions— if just a couple of those key companies spontaneously stopped operating, chaos.
- If Donald Trump used this OpenAI product to-- who knows-- brainstorm Truth Social content, and his chats were produced to the NYT as well as its consultants and lawyers, who would believe Mr. Trump's content remained secure, confidential and protected from misuse against his wishes?
That's simply a function of the fact it's a controversial news organization running a dragnet on private communications to a technology platform.
"Great cases, like hard cases, make bad law."
- My guess: they vibe-coded the integrations between the new and old M365 components. Baffling lack of cross-component integration, all apparent only when you actually try to use it as intended.
- Not quibbling, but preservation and production of these records has really minimal connection to the public purpose behind sunshine laws. It reveals the fact of suspicionless mass surveillance, but the monitoring is not of or about government functions. Clearly the drafters of a law were not imaginative enough to foresee the dystopian turn government has taken, but let’s face it: if someone put that surveillance camera in the courthouse, which is more connected to public sunshine, the analysis might have gone differently.
- The website security model breaks down when people constantly try to enter your password.
The currently model assumes good behavior by most people most of the time in order for basic web services to function. Seems like an obvious vulnerability to malicious activity.
Look, it’s now like, email in 2004. You see spam, that it has found email. It doesn’t mean you refuse to interact with anyone by email, write geocities posts mocking email-users. You just acknowledge the technology (email) can be used for efficiency, results, and it also can be misused as a giant time-waster.
The author of the article here is basically saying “technology was used = work product is trash”. The ”spam” folks are seeing must be horrible to evoke this kind of condemnatory response.
