We do and it saves so much time. Of course human judgment is needed but it’s like cooking with someone else doing the mise en place.

Also the states themselves can’t update their own laws. In Nevada the code (NRS) from Nevada’s website is out of date. Very embarrassing imo and hard to get it to work bc AI can’t have a trusted source of data.

Free Law project is amazing and the best org to counter this duopoly. Please check them out if you haven’t!

This is great thank you!

What are the benefits of DVC over Apache Iceberg? If anyone used both, I'd be curious about your take. Thanks!

eating less meat seems like the biggest thing individuals can do here. Animal waste/fertilizer runoff/agricultural waste seems like the biggest contributor.

any other suggestions?

I just did a consult with Peggy at Scale.dev for this exact problem, highly recommend!

lol

We can use playwright for these type of tests and still stay almost entirely in Python.

The Schluss project out of the Netherlands is trying to do just that, really cool stuff! (Schluss.org)

I went to a mid-ranked state school. My experience is the classes were too esoteric and I was embarrassed when I had no idea how to file a motion once barred. Admittedly my school has improved with more clinic experiences (something I should have done).

Imo you could learn everything in law school better with apprenticeship, especially the most important part - having tough conversations.

What about your experience made you feel that law school was valuable?

Better to have disagreement than coerced conformance.

The bar is still bullshit that example is one of many. For instance I never want to touch divorce, why should I need to know community property? Same goes with personal injury. An open book test or one that’s all MPT (the essay part) I could get behind, memorizing what’s basically 200 pages of dense information is (upside down smiley face)

this was from my barbri class, hopefully you don't have to know that.

maybe work for someone else first before going at it alone? I'd have the same advice for an aspiring chef.

Also if you give me salmonella and I can trace it to you, I’m definitely considering a lawsuit.

agree, but law school certainly didn't give me any skills nor knowledge to be an attorney too. I'd be in favor of some sort of apprenticeship like what Washington or Oregon have.

Consumers already make gamed personal injury recommendations on who has the most audacious commercials, I don't think anything here re: gatekeeping will change that.

imo if there were substantially more lawyers or startups in this forum can dole out legal advice, there would be substantially more legal interactions.

People should see a lawyer frequently for preventative care (e.g. having someone do a prenup or look over their employment contract) the same way people should see a doctor and do preventative care for their bodies.

agree, but not in the context of a gatekeeping exam.

The bar is bullshit, I had to memorize stuff like "men couldn't file for rape under common law" WTF is that.

Missing my point, ethics regulations like Model Rules of Professional Conduct that lawyers must adhere to are important like the health code. We should make it easier for anyone to be a lawyer, just like you or I can open a restaurant.

If you serve cockroaches in your food or give fraudulent advice, you should be blasted on the local news (and sued).

IMO anyone who passes the MPRE and a background check is fit to serve - free market and who customers choose to rank the merits of their lawyers is their own prerogative. I'm against the gatekeeping to the profession.

Once you're a lawyer checks like malpractice insurance are great for everyone.

imo fitness & character is absolutely necessary, rote memorization tests aren't. (ofc you want your lawyer to go off the top of their head instead of looking things up when you explain your problems /s)

Disagree, IAAL and they should both eliminate the bar exam and the law school requirements. We need more lawyers subject to background checks and swearing an oath to act ethically. There’s an ethics test called the MPRE that should stay.

We need more lawyers bc imo the biggest need with AI is trust and safety, and that’s something humans must decide for ourselves in perpetuity, we need as many diverse voices as possible to ensure equity for everyone.

This company may get sued out of existence thanks to Getty Images. I think those advocating for responsible AI should root for Getty in their lawsuit.

Finally a hot take on this site I agree with!

I would choose Rust because it has much better developer ergonomics than C. Even the little things like having a standard linter and package manager (Cargo) go a long way in writing idiomatic code. You can't go wrong with either choice, so choose the one that makes you most productive.

I felt BOTW was immersible anime, and it was more art than beating baddies/collecting weapons like Elden Ring.

I think it's also important to point out that Zelda games since the 80s have been one of the best pieces of software humans have ever invented. So many classic titles that have enthralled generations of gamers. You wouldn't get an immersive experience if these games were buggy or didn't have compelling stories and art.
