You might be right, I just remember that it was a thing when I had a guinea pig!

overall I know that vitamin C is pretty unstable so storing it loose might require more precautions than tablets

Who's he fucking on editorial staff to get this headline?

Naturalized citizens have no need of asylum. It’s a self-evidently inconsistent sentence

Could you link to the article where you reckoned with your role in bringing us here? Thanks!

The Steel Seizure Case??

Yeah basically. Anthropic trains its models to refuse to do certain things, including apparently mass surveillance or anything that will directly kill a person, so as it stands it's very difficult to use them for that.

that would itself be a violation of a well-written TRO, imo

Ugh, I already had to read about the Court of International Trade. Now I have to read about the Court of Federal Claims?

I understand people who say "I hated that movie" when what they mean is "I hated the advertising campaign and never saw it," even if I don't particularly respect it. Much weirder when it's an entire category of technology

I know it would be very bad to permit Hegseth to build an ED-209, and yet

Appropriate that this started with them partnering with Palantir

I have a hypothesis that the best judges for tenants are not necessarily ones that are biased in favor of tenants (they tend to get reversed) but ones that treat housing court like real court, and housing lawyers like real lawyers.

Lol, I coughed up a tonsil stone once. Satisfying once I confirmed it wasn't a piece of tooth

The LLM is using a keyword search, so you can easily inspect its queries and supplement if you see a gap.

Eh, I mean this tool is already halfway to that, because if you have a citation with no link, you just discard it as a hallucination, or look it up if you really need to be sure.

27.02.2026 17:47 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

That's because many LLM platforms are not fit for purpose. This one IS built that way, and that's the only reason I have any interest in it. Your final point is true of any search tool: you do not know about the false negatives, because they're false negatives.

She's not wrong, but she's approaching the issue from an appellate mindset. By the time a case is on appeal, you are limited to arguments and issues already presented to the trial court, so there's a lot less brainstorming/throw-stuff-at-the-wall type work, which is exactly what this is good for

Actually (and again, not denigrating her very impressive resume) Wikipedia indicates that she has never worked as a litigator for clients. Law school --> federal appellate clerk --> law professor --> writer.

She is extremely credentialed, but the level at which she practiced law (and she doesn't anymore) is not representative of the workflow of 95% of attorneys, so I take it with a grain of salt

27.02.2026 17:30 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 2    📌 0

That's the hard problem IMO. You can have a cite checker flag bad cites, but beyond that, open question

27.02.2026 17:22 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Oh that, yeah. The problem there is people are generally treating "success" for an LLM in legal writing as "can one-shot the problem," which they cannot reliably do in coding, so why do you think they should be able to do it in other domains? There's just not a compiler/tests to tell you it's failed

What are the concerns?

I actually just wrote in response to somebody else that structured output would probably be good. You could probably code the schemas you need in an afternoon

I mean, yeah. But there are established categories of conduct that do constitute IIED
