Are you looking for a tool that can diff legal documents line by line or clause by clause? If the latter I’d bet an LLM with a large context size could do a pretty good job, especially if you used a script (or another pass through the LLM) to break them down into like sections so that could just compare e.g. all Controlling Law sections with each other and all IP Indemnification sections with each other.

Now that I think about it, tuning the prompt (and keeping the temperature very low, like 0) you could probably get it to return everything from proper diffs to summaries of conceptual differences. And it could definitely do multiples at once if you were to break them into like pieces ahead of time.

I don’t think “demonstrably” means what you think it does. Lenin is remembered as “brilliant” just like Voldemort was.

From the slide deck (which is well worth a read IMO), "The Trust Index is the average percent trust in NGOs, business, government and media. ". The same deck indicates that government is seen as, “as Far Less Competent and Ethical than Business.” So what this really tells me is that business (as a whole) is doing a FAR better job of marketing/PR than governments are, which is to be expected I suppose.

Mine’s more like an LLM - exposed to a vast quantity of technical terms that they don’t really understand, but can mash them together well enough to make coherent-sounding statements in JIRA

Ugh, I forgot what April fools is like on the internet.

I honestly think the tiny fraction of MAU might be the reason. Something like once you exceed a Dunbar Number of contacts in a community it starts to go downhill.

I like big butts and I cannot lie

Really that whole song is a masterpiece.

Assuming it’s a regular porcelain bowl I’d try Barkeeper’s Friend next, it’s a mild abrasive made from something weird like rhubarb.

Used dryer sheets work well too. Wet, scrub, rinse. Takes off hard water stains and soap scum as well or better than vinegar in my experience.

What’s a tortoise?

I read about 25% of the book this is based on before giving up (too manifesto-y for me, and needed a different/better editor), but the thought of coupling a book with a game like this is pretty interesting — get the point of your argument across to people who might otherwise never engage with it (if not for the title, anyway)

I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more of a push for B Corp style corporate governance in tech considering how many tech leaders claim to be working for the greater good. There are plenty of options for doing well and doing good at the same time.

🤣

I don’t think so. Most of the big LLMs have guardrails to prevent them from spitting out hate speech.

Is this old enough to be called a classic yet?

A lack of real penalties for these companies just means they have no incentive. If they can make $1B on your data and then maaaaayyybeeeee have to pay a $50M fine because of a breach, why wouldn’t they continue doing that?

You can kinda do it with Google Customizabe Search Engine, which is basically a thin wrapper around Google. In a regular Google search you can use syntax like -site:ignorethisdomain.com to exclude specific domains (i do this with Pinterest whenever searching for images, for example). But manually typing in a large list of black listed domains would be tedious so instead you can set up a CSE with everybody you want to ignore and then just use the special URL as your search engine.

There are two in my area and both have the same problem: there will be a single non-pro bank of 8 self-checkout lanes, and then a bunch of empty lanes, one or two of which will have cashiers. Of the 8 self check-outs , one or two are always broken, so that leaves 6. Add in a bunch of large/heavy/bulky items that are hard to scan and now the line for self check-out is pushed back into the store, blocking multiple lanes and aisles. And as soon as you have certain items in your cart (molding/lumber by the LF, loose fasteners, etc.) you need an assistant to come help you anyway. Maybe it’s just the customers in my stores, but it’s just a terrible, slow, inefficient process.

haha no, seems to just be a coincidence.

There’s a thread from last week where some other alternatives were discussed: among them

• Nuggets: News & Conversation: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nuggets-news-conversation/id6462796101
• Feeds & Fediverse: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/newsbite/id1478566472
• Feeeed: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ixRrWfQL
• Feedly: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feedly-smart-news-reader/id396069556
• Perplexity https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perplexity-ask-anything/id1668000334
• NetNewsWire: https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire

I think the concept of a “mixed reader” that can pull in Big Social / Fediverse / RSS and other curated sources has a lot of potential (Nuggets is the most interesting one to me here)
