Interested in the quest for the holy grail of a crypto-native stable currency (i.e., not fiat-based)?

Patent drafting needs the right details at the right step. Giving an AI the whole file can add noise. Break the work into smaller tasks, keep the relevant source material close, and make the attorney’s judgment points explicit.

This is similar to how entropy flow in the opposite direction would be indistinguishable from our universe. We would just perceive time going the opposite way. That is, time flow is determined by entropy not the other way around.
it bothers me that they don't mention that the "tachyons only" universe is indistinguishable from ours. breaks the obvious (and true) symmetry of the graph

AI can draft an Office Action response. Who handled intake, assignments, client reporting, document storage and billing? Measure the whole workflow: manual handoffs, rework and time to completion. Keep attorney judgment at the decision points.

Before buying another “AI-powered” tool, ask whether your own assistant can use it. Can it read the data, take action, and carry work across applications? A useful chat window is one feature. Access to the workflow is the bigger question.

I was using ChatGPT for legal advice and it decided to completely hallucinate some preposterous nonsense about how growing wheat to use on my own farm somehow constitutes interstate commerce
First the conservatives want the gays to marry, now they don't want the gays to marry. Be consistent!

An african migrant from Mauritania entered our country illegally under Biden and claimed to be gay to get asylum in the U.S.
He then got a job as a corrections officer at a prison in Indiana.
There’s just one problem…
He married the Sheriff’s daughter!
He’s now in ICE custody.

Ok, but what if we shut down all data centers, eh? What are you hiding?
If Salt Lake City families stopped using all water, would that save the Great Salt Lake? - NO.
That's only 4 days of GSL evaporation benefit.
If all farmers in the Great Salt Lake water basin stopped using water, would that save the Great Salt Lake? NO.
That's only 81 days of GSL evaporation benefit.
Demonizing families and farmers for water use will not save the Great Salt Lake.
Because 94% of Utah's water is not used by cities or farmers. We have a tree overgrowth problem from gov't planted Chinese Elms, Russian Olives and Salt Cedars.
Here's the water math - 8 billion trees x 5.5 gallon per day is 15 Trillion gallons out of 19 Trillion gallons (Utah's precipitation). That's 80% of Utah's water.
In 2025, Salt Lake City reported 73,000 acre-feet of residential water sales for Salt Lake City, Millcreek, Holiday, Cottonwood Heights).
50% is return flow. 50% evaporates (36,500 acre-feet). The GSL evaporates 3 million acre-feet per year (8,200 acre-feet/day).
We have a tree policy problem. Not a lawn water or farm water problem.
Better Policies for Better Living.

How can you tell if a root system is 10,000 yrs old?
In Sweden, there is a spruce tree whose root system is 9,550 years old.
The tree is called Old Tjikko. The trunk you can see is only a few centuries old. The tree coppices: when a trunk dies, the ancient root system sends up a new one. It has done this repeatedly across nearly ten millennia, each new trunk growing from the same continuously living root system, on the same mountain in Dalarna province.
The roots alive today were alive before the first Egyptian pharaoh. Before the first written language. Before agriculture reached most of Europe. They were alive when the land around them was still emerging from beneath a retreating glacier.
The trunk standing there now is a recent development. The thing below the ground is among the oldest continuous living organisms ever documented. And it is still producing, still reaching upward, still making new trunks from an underground system that has been in continuous operation since 7550 BC.

Indeed. And this gives us an opportunity to highlight the interesting etymology of the word. When I first thought about it I thought "intact" would come from words meaning "together" or something like that. But it actually means "untouched".

This is probably how kosher requirements originated.
I know this post is rhetorical, but for anyone wondering the actual story behind this, there is a valid reason. Churches fall under A-3 Assembly Occupancy restrictions in the building codes, and these building codes restrict cooking in kitchens (in addition to other restrictions as well). If any church under A-3 Assembly Occupancy wants to have full cooking facilities, the building would have to be built under a much stricter A-2 or A-1 Assembly Occupancy, requiring complex fire suppression systems in addition to other building safety features (advanced fire notification systems, egress pathways for mass exiting in an emergency, etc). The cost difference between A-3 and A-2 Occupancy requirements is significant, and simply just not worth it for the church to build to just to be able to cook in the kitchens.
