Obviously the for-profit prisons would absolutely hate this kind of reform and will spend millions lobbying against it if it ever garnered serious consideration. All the more reason to push for it.
I will reserve judgment of the possibilities of LLMs as applied to the legal field until they are tested on something other than Document/ contract review. Contract review is, in the large business law case, often done by outsourcing to hundreds of recent graduates and act more like proof reading with minimal application of actual lawyering skills to increase a corporation’s bottom line.

The more common, for individual purchasers of legal services, lawyering is going to be family law matters, criminal law matters, and small claims court matters. I can not see a time in the near future where an LLM can handle the fact specific and circumstantial analysis required to handle felony criminal litigation, and I see nothing that would imply LLMs can even approach the individualized, case specific and convoluted family dynamics required for custody cases or contested divorces.

I’m not unwilling to accept LLMs as a tool an attorney can use, but outside of more rote legal proof reading I don’t think the technology is at all ready for adoption in actual practice.

Why would you use Mozilla Monitor Plus when onerep.com offers the same service for a lower cost? (And from other comments, I’d actually the same underlying service)
Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, who was falsely accused of being the creator of bitcoin, also lived within a few blocks of Hal Finney's home. If that isn't proof enough of Hal at least being somewhat involved, I can't think of a more coincidental fact.
In Bluesky you create an account on a specific PDS (personal data server) and need to authenticate yourself against that server to write content (posts, likes, follows, etc) to your user repository. Content in this user repository is signed and discoverable by relay servers, and app view services. Currently you can't move your user repository to another PDS, so your user is tied to that server for the time being. When posting content you post to the specific server your user repository is hosted in.

With Nostr your identity is truly decentralized. You create a user meaning a private and public key. You then choose which set of relay servers you want to post content to and which servers to pull content from. If you post content to servers A, B, and C users that pull from those servers see your posts. All posts are signed with your private key so the other users can verify that they were in fact posted by you. It does not matter which relay servers you post to, they will happily store your content unless they've specifically blocked you or require some form of white-listing.

So in that way your Nostr identity is not connected to any specific server, you can always choose to post to a different relay. As of today I don't think Nostr relays federate/distribute content to other relays, but this seems to be a possibility for the future.

Edit: Specified that Nostr relay servers don't have to be open by default.
The problem is bad management. A handful of incompetent people can really mess up an organization.
I wonder what the reach of a legal argument a bunch of lawyers are going to come up with in order to cripple the tech that threatens their industry?
What if they were liable? Say the company that offers the LLM lawyer is liable. Would that make this feasible? In terms of being convincingly wrong, it's not like lawyers never make mistakes...

I think it's worse than that: Apple managed to wrangle it so the new rules apply specifically to iPhone, and not iPad [1]. So the new rules apply only to iPhone devices in the EU. So then there's the absurd situation that, say, a Firefox user in the EU using the Firefox browser on both iPhone and iPad will in fact be using two entirely different browser engines. Imagine what a burden on support that will be, having to answer questions like "why do websites look/work differently between iPhone and iPad when I'm using Firefox on both?"

Doesn't need to: You want into the EU market? EU demands this for the whole world. The EU can set any requirement it wants for market access. Such is the power of governments. And since someone will state that then other countries can do the same: Correct. And then companies will have to decide if the market in question is big enough to play by those rules.

With the promises of AT Protocol I wonder what the reality of starting your own competing site to bluesky would be if it were to become as popular as Twitter. I've also been looking into LBRY too and have the same question in regards Odysee.

I'm sure we won't know until someone tries. I have a feeling there might be some unforseen network effects or barriers that build up over time to prevent someone from coming along with a better site. I'm just curious to see what they are and how insurmountable they might be.
Sure, but you have a lot less personal risk following advice from a lawyer vs. advice from an LLM.
Pretty ironic that when Twitter was imploding Meta launched a competitor that was fully compatible with ActivityPub/Mastodon while the team dedicated to building an open competitor (Bluesky) created a proprietary protocol that nobody uses.
"Slavery as a cure for NEEThood," is an interesting (read: horrifying) proposition. Assuming that people "lack discipline and patience" is begging the question; the requirement of productivity to justify one's existence, post-industrialization, is circumspect, particularly in an economic system that relies on some level of unemployment to keep prices for even basic goods down.

Thats what I mean, with the Vision Pro, multiple reviews have pointed out you can't really use a mouse and keyboard with it because of the hand recongition. Its not meant to be part of the overall experience.

My take here is that if you remove the hand recognition (gestures etc) and only keep some spatial awareness (in so much that turning your head lets you see your other "monitors") and the high fidelity multi-monitor experience, if you would have a better, sleeker product for the medium term.

Doesn't even have to be Apple per say, simply a thought exercise. I think I'd use something like that, because mouse / keyboard require no visual interaction (for me at least) 99.9% of the time, and pass-through would be sufficient if I really need it from time to time, but it completely alleviates needing to buy physical monitors, is the idea.

1. "Account portability is the major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol. We consider portability to be crucial because it protects users from sudden bans, server shutdowns, and policy disagreements."

2. Jack Dorsey is on the board but has no day-to-day role in the company. Jay Graber is the CEO of Bluesky and is in control. The protocol is also designed not to require trust. The network is being "locked open" in a way that would allow it to survive Bluesky becoming evil.

3. Bluesky has a different approach in many ways. One of the biggest differences is that Bluesky is (IMHO) the first decentralized social network that is highly usable by regular non-technical users.
I'm not sure why any grownup would think that I'd care about people who committed crimes whining that they don't like how they're punished. They wronged society so egregiously that the only way left to deal with them was to remove their rights.

Appealing to their opinions about it just sounds dumb. They no longer get the benefit of doubt on any subject. I even assume that everything they say is a lie, unless there's reason to believe otherwise.
Cattle often aren't interchangeable too. Not gonna have a great time milking the bulls.
IMO, I'd expect to see more international D2C start eating the lunch of US retailers as the D2C companies see they can make more money and still offer lower price points.

If the main value proposition of retailers is importing goods they don't produce and marking them up to sell to Americans, that's a shaky business model, especially in the age of ecommerce.
Doesn't it have a 100-degree FOV?
It feels to me like the law is already a staggering heap of complexity. Isn't using technology going to just enable more of the same, making the situation worse?
They could make it a condition of doing business in the EU (which of course leaves Apple the option of pulling out from the EU).

Not clear though whether they have any interest in doing that.
But you can only swap them out from one vendor (for now?). This just seems like a support contract with extra steps. It's also unclear how much cheaper this ends up being in the long run vs just buying a new laptop, AFAIK framework hasn't done a typical "refresh cycle" yet.
If it is something different only to make simple chips you should not compare the power usage, that makes no sense.

Plan to Resurface a Pyramid in Granite Draws Heated Debate
Satoshi was/is a smart man. It's quite possible that he anticipated stylometry and deliberately wrote in a deceptive dialect. Though I've also seen some forensic linguists say they can often see through that unless it's done very well, with the tells being overuse of stereotypical features of the dialect combined with a lack of more subtle indicators like what modal verbs are used, for example. Also I admit this line of "he did that on purpose" reasoning makes anything unfalsifiable when taken to the extreme
Reducing the charged particles in the magnetosphere != weakening the Earth's magnetic field.

The energy in the Earth's magnetic field (above the surface) is about the same as the yield of a 200 megaton bomb. It is produced by currents deep in the Earth, in the core; there is no way satellites could have any effect on that.

Now, getting rid of energetic particles trapped in the magnetosphere is a different question. And that would be a very useful and positive thing to do, as it would make space safer for both satellites and astronauts.

Also, ionosphere != magnetosphere.
The biggest flaw, but it's not their fault, is that there's a inexistent second hand market for Framework parts yet.

Sure, the concept is nice to only upgrade certain parts like the motherboard, but who will buy your older motherboard? How many Framework users are out there right now, and also looking for an old 11-th Gen motherboard? Sure, you can turn it into a large ugly expensive NUC with an extra case, but I don't need another NUC and NUC type computers can be had for dirt cheap right now on Amazon.

Meanwhile, if you want to upgrade your non-Framework laptop, you can just flip it on the used market much easier than just looking for buyers of stand alone framework parts as there's an order of magnitude lot more people out there who want to buy an entire used notebook instead of just parts.

If Framework were already to magically have the market share of Apple, Dell, Lenovo, then the second hand market for their parts would be an amazing selling point, but currently they have the have this chicken and egg problem where you're buying into an expensive ecosystem that's still incredibly niche and lacking a user base.

How can they overcome this? I dunno, but I hope they do.

> They seem to solve many issues on the surface, but not really in practice

I believe you haven't had a chance to work on problems that require an actual database. Multi-user access, ACID support, unified API (odbc/jdbc), common query language... all of these would require many man-years to set properly with a custom solution.

> the update disasters, the incompatibility between different SQL engines etc all make it seem like an awful idea

What update disasters? If you meant by updating database versions, these aren't things you do frequently because the database is expected to be running 24/7. But Postgres and Mysql are already rock solid here. Wrt SQL engine incompatibilities, you usually set with a single database vendor in practice. If you suddenly start to switch databases in the middle of the project, something needs to be fixed with the process design, not database.

Not sure what in the OP you're saying "no" to.

The commercial blu-rays max out at 1080p so a bitrate comparison isn’t meaningful as the delta in resolution is too high.

And again, I will refer back to my point:
Implementation matters more than just technical ability. Stop doing paper comparisons to soothe an ego.

The fact that these companies have their services on Vision Pro and nothing else is a result of implementation

It really doesn’t matter if the Quest can do something by jumping through hoops. Yeah you can rip your blu-rays, and then load them on, futz with compression etc. meanwhile a Vision Pro user can click one app and have it right there without any effort.
This is an area for further development and thought...

If a LLM can pass the bar, and has a corpus of legal work instantly accessible, what prevents the deployment of the LLM (or other AI structure) to provide legitimate legal services?

If the AI is providing legal services, how do we assign responsibility for the work (to the AI, or to its owner)? How to insure the work for Errors and Omissions?

More practically, if willing to take on responsibility for yourself, is the use of AI going to save you money?
I'm very skeptical that the reputation of a state school is really influenced by a single Dean of engineering no matter how silly their recent publication record is.

I'm also noticing a red flag in this comment by stating that they picked the school because it was affordable - while that is true, shouldn't the same grace be applied to students that went to this school because it was the best school they got into and didn't get into any better ones? I've noticed a lot of people justify their attendance at lower-ranked schools by saying the institutions are affordable, but in reality you shouldn't need to justify not getting into elite schools to begin with.
Every dead body you've ever seen is teeming with life. Now, it's probably impossible for a novel life form to arise in a dead body, because the existing life (bacteria) that takes over has been optimized by billions of years of evolution to consume the resources around it better than any novel self-replicator possibly could. But that's not really evidence that a self-replicator couldn't get going if there weren't much better ones already around.

Even I think bitcoin is a massive waste of energy, as is mining precious minerals that are only used for vanity purposes.

Considering the system-wide effects of an action is absolutely a hacker mentality.

The process was so flawed with this search. Initially, they didn't even provide a curriculum vitae to the college faculty. We were literally told to 'Google him'. The whole process was rushed and condensed into a single week with minimal interaction with faculty. Typically, these university leadership searches are very public because if they go wrong, they result in reputational harm, which is a huge disservice to the students.
The definitions of slave and slavery disagree with you
Working is fine but they should get paid normally so it doesn't ruin the labor market for all the non-slaves. They should start getting the paychecks they earned when they get out. If they mess up and re-offend, that's when we take that money away. The incentives now are all aligned with going back to crime, which works well for the slavers but not for anyone else.
"and I see nothing that would imply LLMs can even approach the individualized, case specific and convoluted family dynamics required for custody cases or contested divorces."

Humans are pretty bad at this. Based on the results, it seems the judges' personal views and emotions are a large part of these cases. I'm not sure what they would look like without emotion, personal views, and the case law built off of those.

CISA got caught with their hands in the cookie jar weaponizing the triumvirate of "disinformation, malinformation, misinformation" against both the right and the left (JFK Jr.).

I love the idea of the Framework Laptop 16 and an upgradeable GPU. My wife has a Framework 13 DIY edition and loves it.

My problem with the Laptop 16 is the price; it is ~$2,100. At least as a gaming laptop, you can get an equivalent GPU in more traditional gaming laptop for less money (compare the Acer PH315-55-79KT w/ an RTX 3070 @~$1,800: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3070-Laptop...).

I'm not sure it makes sense to pay $300 more to be able to upgrade the GPU... In theory, maybe? If in three years, if you can get a 100% better GPU for the laptop for just $400 that would be a coup, but I don't know if that is what is going to happen.
You don't get job stability. Period. If you're getting paid more, you can at least bank more for the downturns. But in general, unless you're being unfairly underpaid, your salary doesn't have a lot to do with if you get selected for a layoff or not, all other things being equal.
seems you've angered the folks who went to Bluesky
I'm also a bit doubtful about the utility of replacing the motherboard. When I buy a laptop, I'm aiming to get 5-10 years out of it, and the laptops case will at that point be pretty worn so that I'd want to replace it.
