Yeah, this matches my friends - they use LLM's for tons of things, using Eve and such. But nobody is replacing the lawyers themselves in cases of any value. I also have friends in the world of high-volume personal injury (IE the morga

Lawyer here (non practicing so to be clear none of this affects me): most comments I read here don't seem to realize that different areas of law have very very different economic models and don't even mention which one they think

I guess i'll give a super-unpopular take. Listening to developers complain about AI doing things to their life and the world at large when they have spent the past 30 years automating just about everyone else they could out of a job (S

This is all true but it also is true that MTE was in part built to accelerate address sanitizer. Kostya/et al who pushed for and designed the extension, was trying to accelerate address sanitizer so it could be on all the time. Among

It's also fun to see how many people here believed this was all some clear deliberate strategy in the first place rather than an accident.

Thankfully, the CFTC can't actually order Kalshi to continue operating in NY despite being in violation of NY law. They have no authority to override any judge's order/etc, and at least so far, have not pretended they do.

Lawyer here - As i explained last time we had a variant of this thread (see comment history if you are interested), this is a very complicated area that people try to make very simple. It doesn't have to be complicated, mind you, but

The opinion is quite straightforward, and the evidence on the government's side was entirely nonsense, essentially. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.46...

Absolutely. Rui is awesome. He's always been awesome. I was his director and then vp for a long time (also replaced by awesome people, thankfully). The day he left to make a go of mold and such I was sad for us and super excited for h

I get this is basically advice for young founders and entrepreneurs, but i would ignore that request and encourage 17 year olds to spend time trying to find a happy medium between work and life. Being a super rich and an unhappy workaholic,

Read does, but it rarely uses it. Part of the reason i assume is that to extract 5 line ranges is a single line very small sed call that it has to output, but 5 separate full read calls it has to output correctly and quickly. Who knows.

If i'm trying to steel-man why, I presume because the read/write/edit tools use more context tokens because they don't support reading part of a file/etc. So the agent is going to put less into context when it uses

So many developer-hostile things lately. Just a few days ago they turned on an experiment the forces claude code to use bash over standard tools in auto mode. From the system prompt directly, new as of August 18th: Do your work through

These are the CFTC licensed contract markets, which are not the same exact thing. I'm not sure how to explain all this without writing a 70 page dissertation on HN, and it's probably not worth it :) Overall - this is a wildly comp

Oh worse than that. The "emergency powers" they speak of are 7 U.S.C. § 12a(9), and they are quite specific. It gives them the authority to direct a registered entity to do a few specific things. None of those things are releva

Except they haven't, because they did not request national relief. They requested state-specific relief.

Except it's false, they aren't requesting such a thing.

2 is false, actually. If you read the complaint, the prayer for relief is quite clear that they only are trying to stop them from operating in new york, deliberately offering gambling to new yorkers, etc. There is no relief requested nation

It would help but probably you'd still owe something. Business & Professions Code § 5412 is the current controlling statute, and that is a codification of what the courts have required. That requirement is not just a california con

This is just wrong. It's not a government problem - it's a constitutional one - Banning existing billboards is considered both a first amendment problem, and a takings problem. Doing it without compensation is a constitutional vio

You can't in california, actually. While you can generally restrict new ones, you can't eliminate existing ones without basically paying out the lost revenue+etc to whoever is running it.

It's what the vast majority of software engineers have been doing for decades in practice, and i guess pretending they weren't? They only seem to care now because it affects them.

Both are very smart. But Jeff was responsible for a lot more of what is actually used today than Demis. Demis is responsible for a lot more of the hype though ;) I think saying Jeff's contributions were a long time ago must represent
