IANAL. The legals system is structurally based around manipulating text and its relations. It seems to me that the entire legal industry is the ideal use case for LLM's to take over. Of course the legal system can gatekeep forever by

If you asked me last year(2025) I would have still said LLMs are a silly toy. As of Jan 2026 I have come to accept that LLMs are at least part of the puzzle of how intelligence works. They are at this point better than the majority of huma

I moved to fastmail about 2 years ago. It was not a super painful process, they make it easy as possible. Also I used it as an opportunity to "reverse-whitelist" all my accounts by giving everything i use its own disposable mask

If you want human connection the legal system is not where you are going to find it, period. I don't think there will be any such market for "non ai" law. If I'm involved with the legal system I just want out as quick a

For Decades the huge tech companies basically faced no adversity whatsoever. Now for the first time in their existence the massive returned investments in AI they are experiencing ... we will call it pain. I would say it will be interesti

The main reasons those places lost support is they became convenient prisons without due process. Why do you think there are so many horror movies based on the setting of a sane person involuntarily put there? While not ideal you gotta adm

My problem with most of these books is they are indirectly trying to solve the real problem. The problem that IME HN is allergic to discussing. Power Dynamics. The reason the CEO is nitpicking your job is because he is not a good CEO and d

I think its all a reflection of the price. To make AI/LLM's useful you have to burn A LOT of tokens. Way more than people are willing to pay for. Until there is either more capacity or some efficiency breakthroughs the only way

This is really cool. It reminded me of my first thought for an AI app was a No-Interface crm/order system. I was talking to my bro in sales and all he ever does is complain about what a pain computers are. This takes that idea to the

I'd argue this has already happened. The highest end mac pro is $10k and down from there. We might be returning to the appliance business model. Its just a matter of Productizing the software to plug and play light office admin work

That does make sense and I'm also certain will happen. I'm just saying that at this point NVIDIA is all in on "AI" so it has no choice. It will abandon its original customer base and product. I don't think there w

I feel like the CLI craze started around 2020. That predates this chat GPT. CharmCLI golang Nushell rust Warp. Shell Were all around 2020 also that is when alt shells started getting popular probably for same reasons they still are.

ehhh... You are getting really pedantic here. Your argument is basically well voting doesn't matter so we should have a dictatorship instead of democracy. Your vote does matter in the aggregate, its not supposed to be a 1:1 outcome.
