Doesn't this just open the question of whether the chatbot can get a JD?

The other angle is whether the chatbot can be equivalent to a process which a proper person can rubber stamp. For instance, a professional engineer might run a pre-written structural engineering model against their building design and certify that the building was sound - and then stand up in court and say they had followed standard process.

It seems weirdest here that the court is treating the chatbot as a person. Lawyers use computer tools all the time for discovery, and then use that information to make arguments in court as a proper person.

You can represent yourself in court without being a lawyer, so isn't a person doing so just a proper person rubber stamping a an electronic output?

It feels like this court decision, that an electronic tool is not a proper person, is some kind of case law that chat bots are people. I don't think they are.

I don’t really follow astrophysics, but there were hypotheses that the motion of the solar system through the galactic plane, which has a periodicity, would induce impact events. A cursory search suggests that recent analyses of crater data may not support those hypotheses. Here’s a link to a 2011 paper suggesting as much.

So the notion was certainly a reasonable one even if not ultimately true.

Yes! I almost forgot about market orders because trading firms never use market orders for this exact reason - you have no control over the price if things go bad. Most flash crashes are exacerbated by runaway market orders and stop orders for example.

A buy market order would try to match with the "best price" which in a deeply crossed book would mean matching with a really low priced sell order. Exchanges match orders in price-time priority. Similar is true for a market sell order - would match at an extreme high price.

Besides the midpoint of the order book, another metric for a "current price of the stock" people use, is the "last trade price". In the situation above you would get "swings" in the price because market orders would be trading very high and very low if they alternate between buying and selling. The data structure on the exchange itself isn't "swinging", it's just the overlapping region being slowly eroded by market orders. The "last trade price" metric looks really insane in this situation.
You can also mix problems to change the average complexity. Take SAT (in NPC) and encode each instance with a word over a binary alphabet. Then add 2SAT (in POLY) and encode it using an alphabet with four letters.
If you chose a random instance of length n, the probability it is from SAT is less than 1/2^n.

Still, this problem is NP complete, as it is in NP and you can trivially reduce SAT to it.
That tool looks fairly old considering it’s talking about sorting inodes and benchmarking on spinning disk. Is there any tool that replaces with a COW copy instead of creating a hard link? COW is strictly a safer way to do this compression and honestly it seems like something filesystems should do automatically, perhaps with FastCDC deduplication.

Next.js for both backend (server React and REST API) and frontend. Prisma ORM to Planetscale DB (mysql auto scaling). NextAuth. TailwindCSS. Typescript.

Very simple, very easy to deploy and scale, and in-tune with all the best practices of fast frontend (auto caching, SSG, ISR, prefetching, client side nav, etc)

Didn’t like Django. Deployment more annoying, templates are weak and DSL-specific, React integration is poor and then DRF is a strange verbose monstrosity.

You must have missed the part where I said that all the Flemish speakers I met wanted to practice their English with me?

I never got a chance to try to learn Flemish. Every single one of those speakers that I met, were also master linguists (whether they acknowledged it or not), and spoke at least six languages fluently, and those were the only ones they admitted to. They also spoke at least two or three other languages with less fluency, and yet they claimed only the ones in which they were fluent.

During the time I worked at Snow, BV (a Dutch consulting company), part of my employment agreement with them was that they would pay for and arrange to have a Dutch tutor for me, in Brussels. By someone who really spoke Dutch, not Flemish. Unfortunately, that never happened.

To my ears, Flemish and Dutch seemed to be the same language. But not to the Flemish people in Belgium -- to them, these are two distinct languages. The Dutch would agree with me.

And to my ears, both of these languages sound like German but spoken with English word sounds. Every time tried to listen closely, it would nearly break my brain.
That is true. Many kinds of reporting requirements are only triggered for companies larger than a certain size, so perhaps that would be beneficial here as well to maintain anonymity.

Having slack in your finances may not solve all your problems, but life is much better when you escape from the class of problems surrounding lack of money.

It takes a while, but when you get used to having enough money your time horizon can extend much further, and you can start to make decisions that will be likely to help you in the future.

> I recommend staying in the middle

Speaking as one grizzled veteran of 1980s coin-op, I've seen with my own eyes a teenager a couple of years older than me "roll the machine".

"Rolling the machine" meant scoring 100,000. At that point, the machine score went from 99,999 back to 0.

The way I saw it done, the player left 1 asteroid on the screen so as not to advance to the next wave.

The player then parked his ship near one of the corners.

After some time, a saucer would appear and the player would directly fire on it using the shortest route possible which, sometimes, was not in the obvious direction of the ship because of screen wraparound.

Wraparound meant, for example, that the shortest distance between the upper right corner and the lower left and right corners was northeast, not southwest.

Saucers always shot at the spaceship on-screen, and so would almost always lose.

We younger observers stood in awe when the machine score rolled over. [0]

We dubbed this "playing the corners".

There are also many adjacent algorithms that could solve the same problem, but you still need to execute the algorithm correctly. LLMs are not ready for unsupervised use in any domain outside of curiosity, and what DoNotPay is proposing would be to let one roam free in a courtroom.

I'm not at all opposed to using LLMs in the research and discovery phase. But having a naive defendant with no legal experience parroting an LLM in court is deeply problematic, even if the stakes are low in this particular category of law.

>Children don't have any special ability to pick up languages

They do. One example I recall from a neurology class is that the auditory cortex of a young child is able to differentiate more sounds than that of an adult. As a child ages, they lose the ability to distinguish sounds not common in their native language. The inability to distinguish the sounds also applies to the inability to tell the sounds apart when speaking it which decreases their ability to produce the correct sound. There is some research showing it is possible to relearn the ability to differentiate, but this requires training specifically in identifying sounds, not training in learning a language.

This doesn't mean fluency as an adult is impossible, and there are many actions that an adult could take to better align their learning environment to that of a child's which would improve their learning, but we should recognize there are some difference that cannot be replicated in adults.

> there is absolutely no space for hallucination in a court of law

I wish you were factually correct here.

We've seen time and time again where courts are mockeries of the ideal because of the people in them and the faults they bring with them.

Other than this issue (which may well be a large / unsolvable one), I wonder what other disadvantages to this approach there might be. Does this hack have any potential for a Gentoo profile or mainlining?
> The bill first states that “[t]he spread of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has weakened public confidence and placed lives at

The goal of this bill is to increase public confidence by censoring some of the most trusted people in people's lives. For me it has the contrary effect, leading me to distrust my doctor as an agent of people that I trust less. That decrease in trust transfers to other medical advice. To the extent that it's usually good advice, which I believe, that places lives at serious risk.

You can try to increase confidence by censoring contrary information or with open debate. I'm grateful that the former approach is somewhat restrained by the federal constitution.

That could maybe mitigate things. But then again they would try to find a way around it. As long as the perverse incentive of maximizing profits for the sake of unattached, non-stakeholder shareholders exists, it will keep pushing for such destruction.
They aren't clear, but I assume they mean the inner core would be rotating slower than the outer core and crust. In either case, the rotation would be the opposite of what it had been in relation to the outer core and crust. My understanding is that the magnetic field is a product of the interaction between the inner and outer core. I have no idea how this change would affect the field though. Just a guess.
Is there a threat model? This does not seem to provide any metadata anonymity: if you ask a relay for someone's pubs, they know you're the person asking for it.

But the problem is that the combination of site builders out there (Wix, Squarespace) and thousands of free templates means that many businesses can get about 80% of the benefit of a great custom site for a fraction of the cost.

I load up on the veggies, personally. There are plenty of nutrients in dairy, sure... but also a LOT of calories. Meat is also very calorie dense. Unless you're regularly burning hundreds of calories with intense cardio, you probably don't need that many calories in a single meal.

I am not surprised you get 30% of your daily calories from dairy; drinking a single glass of whole milk contains 200 calories. A small amount of cheese in addition to that and you're pushing 30-40% of your daily calories with ease.
I understand your point of view, but writing novels is an activity that is enjoyable for humans. This to me feels like "we developed an AI that enjoys food better than humans": do we need an automated improvement in food-enjoyment?

Think about whatever you enjoy doing: what if computers do it better, and become cheaper and faster at it, and you are no longer necessary? Sure, you could do it for your mom or partner to see, I guess. Disappointing, isn't it? Now repeat for every conceivable hobby or human activity. Do you see where I'm going?

> access to better novels

Are current novels bad? Do we have a lack of novels? Does the process of novel-writing need "disruption" by AI? Is mankind complaining, "if only we had more and better novels"?

Have an analogy.

Imagine you're lanky or fat and you want to build muscle and get in shape.

Saving is like going to the gym and lifting. You'll look and feel a ton better.

Putting together a budget is like going to the gym with a routine and maybe a rough diet plan. You'll get there faster.

Investing is optimising your routine so that you hit every muscle group once you're starting to plateau.

But it's all built on the basic mindset that you need to go to the gym. It's not optional, you just do it.

The main thing is to build the mindset of saving. You spend what you _need_ to, and perhaps a bit on top for fun. Money that comes in is saved by default.
> We don't all need to be good at everything.

You don't _need_ to be good at anything really, but we live in much better societies when people are good at things. The fact that we can live like mindless automats doesn't mean it's something we should strive for.
