I am a personal injury lawyer, and am therefore biased. But I submit that they are decidedly not undifferentiated - the problem is that there is no real way for you to differentiate them.
If I were seriously injured, there are about 10 personal injury lawyers in my small state that I would consider. There are no obvious external signals such as billboards, websites, or marketing that convey their superior strategic skill and they just have it qualities before a jury. But if you know them, you know.
If you need a lawyer, call another lawyer (preferably someone involved in the special interest bar association for that field) and ask them who you should call.
Claude and I (mostly Claude) built a web app for lawyers that uses Gemini to extract (and calculate, where necessary) court dates and deadlines from a PDF scheduling order and output them in a structured format. The user can then select which ones they want to add to their calendar and generate an ICS file to add all case dates/deadlines at once.
For some reason, most of the AI-focused subreddits, like r/OpenAI, r/Anthropic, etc., seem to convey a sense of mass mental illness or delusion. For example, r/OpenAI is 95% focused on how OpenAI is horrible for taking away their virtual girlfriend/therapist model, 4o.
r/Anthropic is 95% either rambling about usage limits in Claude Code or “showing off” by presenting a giant wall of AI generated text describing the stack for their latest zero utility vibe-coded project.
I personally find value in vibecoding, but the signal to noise ratio in these spaces is insanely poor compared to generally anywhere else on Reddit, and I’m not sure what that says.
Yep. When such a massive "yuge new ground floor opportunity!" hype hits the mass media zeitgeist it not only triggers an influx grifters but lots of lower-effort dilettantes. They're attracted not only by the promise of quick success but also a need to identify themselves with this 'hot new thing'. So they tend to seek out forums where they can express their new identity in the hope of receiving validation. In essence, they need a place to try out and practice their new identity before they trot it out to their friends and family IRL.
I am in Copenhagen for the first time and was wondering why there were 20+ people waiting in line at various ATMs last night. I think this explains it!
It’s a fair question and I find your comment to be an interesting example of resorting to a conspiracy theory because you don’t understand something that’s easily explainable.
The Boeing 737-800 has batteries that power certain things in the event of a dual engine failure, including cabin lighting.
Those same batteries, on 737s manufactured more than about 15 years ago, do not provide backup power to the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder.
In the event of power loss, the data and voice recorded have lower priority than cabin lighting?!
And the cherry on top is that this was the case on 737's until ~ 2010?!
Defusing my bullsh!t alarm with a second layer of bullsh.t?
I would swallow it all ad fundum if you can provide HN with reliable links to manuals, procedures, ... describing how electrical energy for the passenger cabin is prioritized over the data and voice flight recorders!
if the parent poster was talking about merely emergency lights being battery powered, and hence main passenger cabin lighting turning off a full 4 minutes before the crash, we go back in a circle and have to explain the apparent absence of passengers texting friends and family about a scary power loss during descent (people would quickly try to figure out if power sockets for their consumer electronics were no longer providing power either and learn from each other that it is the case).
I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's much, MUCH easier to get "non-critical" systems hooked up to new, better equipment as it would undergo far less checks and approvals.
"This is your Captain speaking, we may only have a few minutes to restore power, I am hereby commandeering all your USB cables, we daisy chain them from the passenger cabin to the cockpit" ... ?
I don’t know about that, it’s normal to name a business after the founder. For example JCPenney, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Disney, Boeing, Wells Fargo. The reference is also quite oblique.
Gillette was also a Utopian Socialist.[16] He published a book titled The Human Drift (1894)[17] which advocated that all industry should be taken over by a single corporation owned by the public, and that everyone in the US should live in a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls.
1. If filed by a lawyer, no. The clerk will just issue a summons.
2. In order to compel a person to appear a proceeding, the court must have personal jurisdiction over the person as a defendant, or if the person is a witness and not a defendant, they must be within the subpoena power of the court.
3. The order explains the court’s reasoning on this.
It seems bizarre to me that an assessment of credibility requires in-person contact or that the indie developers could demonstrate the required prejudice that "remote" participation would provide. Or that "remote" means pre-recorded and not real time interactive?
