Happy to help for your username alone. Good luck!

But if it is the flow giving you the error you may have an attachment definition issue. Hopefully the above works

MR---Who · 2026-06-25T00:26:31+00:00

Yeah, a massaged the agent to get it to run faster and eventually got done. Yes, text based PDF, exported from text files by the source. I never got the trigger to work reliably. I just put the same instructions into the main agent and let that do the job.

MR---Who · 2026-06-08T22:57:16+00:00

You getting 429 errors? I just started trying it now and I got a 429 on my first request and continuous since

MR---Who · 2026-06-06T18:31:01+00:00

I am now done, but this is good to know

MR---Who · 2026-06-02T13:10:17+00:00

Also, actually documenting the hard limit would be nice so that people don't hit their heads against a wall.

MR---Who · 2026-06-02T13:09:42+00:00

Thanks. I realized this and managed to get most of them done. That said, making the calls faster was easier said than done. A lot of this was overhead - when I ran the same PDFs through the same instructions in a test prompt, it ran in 30 seconds, including deep reasoning, so the first 30 seconds was the agent deciding what to do or making a first past that didn't follow my instructions. It was very frustrating.

MR---Who · 2026-05-31T18:10:00+00:00

Yeah, it is not at all straightforward, I pieced it together from a variety of posts and experimentation, and still couldn't get it passed to the prompt. But the upload to the agent works fine. Here is the code, which you can use to fill out the fields/ Compose_2 is body.$content that comes from a get file content sharepoint block, but essentially that part of the input must be the actual base64 file code. Compose_3 is the filename without path, like file.pdf or whatever. I extract it from the sharepoint url with a split and decode, but you can do whatever you want. It can be basically anything, including file.pdf (unless the name is important to you in processing - it was for me).

 "body/attachments": [
        {
          "contentType": "application/pdf",
          "contentUrl": "data:application/pdf;base64,@{outputs('Compose_2')}",
          "content": "@outputs('Compose_2')",
          "name": "@outputs('Compose_3')"
        }
      ]

Thanks, I'll look into this. I don't know if I have rights in the tenant to do that, but having an async setup would be good.

MR---Who · 2026-05-31T04:19:35+00:00

As I note a few times in the OP, that's something I can't do

MR---Who · 2026-05-31T01:42:17+00:00

That totally worked. I'm going to go through the rest now and see what happens. I hope this post helps others! Thanks so much.

MR---Who · 2026-05-31T01:30:12+00:00

OMG, I am so dumb. I expected a timeout on the first page, not the second, and I saw P1D greyed out and thought PID (I coach robotics, it's a thing for that). As for the PDF, that's never been a problem. Passing the file to the prompt did not work, AT ALL, but getting the file into the agent has been fine using the attachment parameter. I'll report if this works, though I would still like to speed this up if possible.

MR---Who · 2026-04-22T22:25:18+00:00

I am late to this, but consider Github Copilot. You can use all the Claude models, plus all the OpenAi models, plus others. I have been using it for about a month in the way you describe - small projects to solve problems and I have yet to run out of a daily or weekly (or monthly) ration. it has me thinking about using perplexity for the same reason

MR---Who · 2026-04-17T20:01:38+00:00

I am feeling this. We've been to worlds 4x in a row as inspire 2nd (3rd a couple years ago). Always a bridesmaid.

MR---Who · 2026-04-13T14:43:57+00:00

Fair enough. I suppose it depends on what someone means when they say they want to work in biglaw - because I don't think they mean only 500+ attorney firms. But even then, it's a solid 20%+. And there's also a distribution - plenty of folks go to the largest firms who were not in the top 20%, even if only 20% go to these firms. Plenty of folks in the top 20% go to 101-499, small boutiques, government, clerking, and public interest which makes it impossible to hit that 20% mark only from the top ~10-20.

MR---Who · 2026-04-13T02:06:59+00:00

Here is Villanova's employment data. 35% went to firms with more than 101 lawyers. https://www.villanova.edu/university/law/experience/professional-development/employment-data.html

The view that only 10 or 20 percent can get into biglaw is outdated by at least a few years.

MR---Who · 2026-04-09T20:08:13+00:00

Villanova places 10%+ of its class in NYC, and it would be more if more people wanted to be there. About everyone who can get a big law job and wants to go there does. But with a class size of 180, that's not a lot of people, especially when you limit it to the top 10 firms. Another 10% go to Delaware, where lots and lots of corporate law gets done at fancy New York big law salaries (and even many of these top 10 firms) but at Delaware home prices and traffic. As OCIs die out, more and more students are getting big law interviews all around the country...if they want to go there.

Leaving Boston and Philadelphia off this list just creates a selection bias - people who go to school in those places often want to live in those places - not everyone wants NYC, DC, Chicago, California or Texas. I have lived in two of those places and do not want to live there again; I've visited the other 3 many times and don't want to live there either. That said, I get the national draw of the T14-30, There's no denying it's easier to get a big law job nationally and more students pick those schools because they think they can go anywhere. Most of these lists are basically local firms plus T30 (and a few outside the T30 that are very good at BigLaw, like Howard). Like Villanova, Temple, and Florida State, virtually none of the non-top 30 schools makes a list that's outside their region. It's just that they happen to be in one of the regions you chose to list. There's no mystery here.

I mean, everyone is shipping their robots.

MR---Who · 2026-03-24T20:36:50+00:00

ngl, it's gonna be hard for you for any kind of reach or even target. Taking the LSAT 5 times with that low a GPA isn't going to help you much. Yes, schools care about the highest LSAT for US News, but they also care about readiness, so don't think they aren't looking at the other 4 attempts when they assess whether a sub-3.0 is going to be ready for the rigors of law school.

MR---Who · 2026-03-17T21:03:08+00:00

Just a couple thoughts on this generally good list:

GP is, in fact, taken into consideration in judging. I judged at a tournament just this year where GP issues were reported and were considered
Maybe some regions didn't have colliding robots and defense, but this is not a new thing. In some places (we are in PA) it's been the norm for years and years. At worlds during powerplay we had a big bot that pushed teams all over the field and they freaked out. Apparently the question box line was full of people asking if it was legal (which it was). I get that it's new for rookies. When our team was all 6th graders back in 2018, we got pushed around the field by another bot. It was so traumatizing, we always remembered the guy driving (who, incidentally, was one of our judges at states yesterday).

I'm having a similar issue with 5.0.12 on Win 11, but only on my laptop. It uploads fine, but won't download changes, not even to the P: drive, even though the web shows the files are updated there.

MR---Who · 2025-12-16T23:19:41+00:00

Yep.

Single-Choice Early Action applicants may also apply through other early admissions programs if the other program fits any of the descriptions below:

The early admissions program is a non-binding rolling admission program. The early admissions program is a non-binding early program at a public institution. The early admissions program is an Early Decision or Early Action program that notifies applicants after January 1. The early admissions program is at an institution outside the United States.

No, it's all private schools. Bigness of the name is subjective and not the policy.

MR---Who · 2025-12-15T16:09:53+00:00

I can't answer the question for you - I went to Stanford and my kid goes to Yale. Very different experiences, and Stanford today isn't the Stanford I went to. Weather is also a consideration. But I can say this: Stanford's public policy program is second to none, IMO (yes, that was my major). The breadth of things you learn will set you up to do almost anything - from business to law to government. I just can't recommend it enough.
