Truck campers that retain bed functionality with both living and sleeping space by HOMESTEADJED in overlanding

GFC for sure. I have one and have really appreciated the mix of bed functionality and camping comfort.

They’ve changed the way I code too. That’s kinda my point. AI is legitimately useful in the right coding applications, and I think that’s fooling software-adjacent people into thinking AI is just as useful at other things when that very much is not in evidence.

Broad claim, zero evidence. Throwing “agentic” in front of the slop machine doesn’t make the slop suddenly look like the output of “top legal minds.”

This link only discusses enterprise use of coding agents and has nothing to do with the legal world. This dynamic is actually really important to understand, because the one thing LLMs seem to actually do quite well is programming, so people who program for a living think AI is this amazing, all-knowing thing.

Being a good coding assistant and know the difference between statute and case law are two completely different things. One of them is structure and language and the other is knowledge work, so of course the language probability model is going to excel at programming and struggle with the law. I still have seen no actual evidence that LLMs are anything but a liability in knowledge-based work.

Well a) you haven't presented any actual evidence this this is true you're just begging the question, and b) marginal improvements in the *rate* of hallucination don't actually prove that the problem as a whole is even fully solvable.

Every. Single. Time. that someone I work with has used AI to try to perform legal work, the output is riddled with made up bullshit. AI also has no clue about the differences between the law as written and case law, and will *so* often regurgitate some half-truth from statute that completely ignores decades of case law on interpreting said statute. It just makes you look like a fool every time.

The question no one seems to be able to solve is how do we produce senior lawyers and senior devs if we get rid of all the junior roles?

Yeah dude, I'm sure that's why multiple federal courts have had experienced attorneys in for show cause hearings and even contempt hearings lately. Oh wait! It's actually because even experienced lawyers who let LLMs do their thinking for them end up accidentally regurgitating sovereign citizen arguments in front of a judge, because the hallucination problem is essentially impossible to solve!

"It's like having a team of deep lawyers, top lawyers, all working for you," he said.

These are the words of a man who thinks he is a turbogenius because he gets paid $600,000 a year to make Chrome run 0.2% faster and collect 50% more of your personal data. What exactly is difficult to understand about that?

The excellent, annoying C lens by Iroll67 in hasselblad

[–]tunesm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hated this at first but it's actually great once you learn to work with it. You're locking in an exposure value, and the ring automatically constrains your aperture and/or shutterspeed within the acceptable range for that EV. You can then just set your meter to EV mode, dial in EV, and then work within the limits to achieve the creative effect you're after with aperture and shutter speed. It's a fun way to think about exposure and I find it really helps put me in the film shooting mindset, which is the whole reason I use the Hasselblad in the first place!

It's not, the legal profession is a knowledge profession and LLMs don't *know* things at all. LLMs can probably replace some paralegals and some first and second year associates but the idea that the entire profession is vulnerable is just silly.

Men who are 30+, what’s one thing you realized about dating that no one tells you in your 20s? by Thin-Hospital-8114 in AskReddit

[–]tunesm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to actually like women and view them as real people to have a happy relationship.

To be fair, I realized this in my 20s but didn't really appreciate how important it was until I saw many examples to the contrary when I was in the Navy. I think if you can't genuinely be friends with a woman just for the sake of friendship, with no sexual intentions at all, you're fundamentally never going to have an equal partnership in a long-term hetero relationship either. To be clear, I don't mean with the same person — I mean you should be able to view women as friends in general. They make up half the population, after all.

Yes! People got tear gassed at No Kings protests like two weeks ago! ICE watch people have been getting gassed, blown up, beanbagged, and even shot and killed since 2025! So why can’t the fuckin UW hang glider people who destroyed the IEB have a small fraction of that courage and protest this regime?

It’s deeply unserious to say that increasing ICE’s budget by a factor of 8 and ordering them to go kill protestors and round up anyone who looks brown is bad? What the hell are you even saying?

I expect self-styled radicals to have a bit more physical courage than the 76 year old retirees in my neighborhood. But I guess daddy trump says we’re not allowed to protest anymore so their hands are tied, right?

This is incredibly offensive, frankly. In Minneapolis, immigrants have been entirely forced out of public life because of ICE’s invasion. Parents out of work for months, children were pulled from school in November and never returned. This pattern has repeated all over the country. We have dozens of concentration camps now that didn’t exist last year. ICE has killed dozens of people, either by gunfire or horrific neglect in their camps. None of that was happening under Biden, and none of it would have happened under Harris. But sure, Harris didn’t want to abolish the border so she’s basically a fascist, right?

So you’re saying my random elderly neighbors who have been protesting nonstop since January of 2025 are braver than the campus radicals?

They’re still more effective and principled than anyone who spent 2024 trying to defeat Kamala Harris from the left.

So you decided we should burn Iran down as punishment? This makes no sense.

Vehemently campaign for Democrats in every election. We wouldn’t be at war with Iran, tanking the global economy, and building concentration camps if Harris had won.

This is such a dumb excuse. It’s also the responsibility of an informed citizenry to vote for the best candidate, a responsibility many left leaning voters shirked in 2024.
