That was more directed towards people who are trying to train AIs to be a competitor to Nolo. Lots of document repositories exist, but they won't work with you if you want to sell legal contracts yourself. I have seen a lot of startups

Thanks for the response. I will check it out. Specific failure modes can be something as simple as extraction of beneficiary information from a Trust document. Sometimes it works, but a lot of times it doesn't even with startups with A

Since I moved to California in a city, I have been finding it pretty hard to find any source of "pure" quiet. It really made me appreciate the saying "Silence is a luxury". When I grew up in a rural town in the midwest,

This pained me to see recently at my grandparents house. After my grandpa died my grandma moved into a nursing home and her house had to be sold. Around 5 auctioneers came to the property and took around and 4 of them basically said "w

You can read my other reply which agrees with you that law is a spectrum rather than a binary. > I cannot count the number of times I sat in a meeting and looked back at a contract and wished some element had a different structure to it

Your welcome to try, but we had mixed results. Law in general is interpretation. The most "lawyerese" answer you can expect is "It depends". Technically in the US everything is legal unless it is restricted and then ther

Our philosophy at GetDynasty is that the contract (in our case estate planning documents) itself is a commodity which is why we give it away for free. Charging $150 for a template doesn't make sense. Our solution like you point out is

I run a startup that does legal contract generation (contracts written by lawyers turned into templates) and have done some work GPT analysis of the contract for laypersons to interact and ask questions about the contract they are getting.

A lot of one word typo fixes, commits to fix one blank line, and automated package rewrites. Each release is about 3-4 commits of the same thing (bumping versions, etc) with 1-4 releases a day. So to fix a one word typo ends up being about

I'm by no means an expert, but I don't see a lot of your "bad" points, they mostly seem like gripes about not being able to use Rust exactly as you are used to in C++ as opposed to pitfalls of learning the Rust way and d

YMMV but I personally have never faced either problem having written tens of thousands of lines of Rust at this point. But to be honest I never worked on a large team of Rust engineers. One of the benefits of Rust is that it gives you an op

Can you give an example for #2? I picked up Rust this year and never found that to be the case. In fact Rusts type system is extremely clear to me and was pretty straight forward coming from a Python world. I don't think I ever encount
