From my source:

> Things that are not true: not every Louisiana lawyer is smart. Some of them are very dumb.

> You don’t have to speak 2 languages.

> Louisiana has a mixed jurisdiction, just like everywhere else in the United States. The difference is that common law relies on stare decisis, and Louisiana relies on the civil code as the basis for law.

> It is true that Louisiana originally took different parts of the law from historical bases that are uncommon for America. Our property law comes from the visigoths or something.

> However, the Napoleonic code did not actually arrive in Louisiana until two or three years after the civil code of Louisiana was officially adopted, so it is not based on Napoleon code, though that is frequently asserted.

Sorry I'm late but stick with CC. I introduced a coworker to Pi and spent most of the morning feeling like I should apologize for it not doing this or that out of the box.

My best friend is an insurance attorney in New Orleans, and has been telling me this saga for years now. It's wild to see this coming out.

I switched about a month ago, looked back once for about 10 minutes and decided I'm officially done w CC. I didn't realize what a dull knife CC is until I tried a really sharp one, and that's Pi.

Does your employer use Salesforce? Crappy software is practically the only software that anybody really pays for.

It really is one of the greatest open source gifts of recent years.

I know nothing about hardware, but is there a world where an OpenWRT firmware for smart TVs is possible? Are there that many different chipsets and manufacturers?

The "hide distracting items" option is the best thing Apple has done lately. Unfortunately there's not anything worth your time once you get that nav out of the way.

I was "ideologically tied" to using products created by people who clearly cared more about creating them and my experience using them than their competitors. That era seems to have finally passed.

If this phone dies before they right the ship, I'll be looking around for the first time in almost 20 years.

I agree with the other poster and gladly converted to a paying customer of Wispr because they did this right.

Honestly, I bet your question is exactly what every team adjacent to this problem at Apple is doing. Pointing fingers at each other and saying, "This isn't my problem. This is some other team." It's so egregiously broken that obviously no one inside there considers it their problem. I think this must be rampant at Apple currently. There's just no explanation for how their software has gone so completely to shit over the last ten years.

I'll settle for "gets voice to text right most of the time". Seriously, Apple is so far behind on the cheapest table stakes at this point I highly doubt their high standards is the issue.

Could you elaborate? because that sentence made my brow wrinkle with confusion. I have thought to myself before that all business data problems eventually become time series problems. I'd like to understand your point of view on how LLMs fit into that.

That tool search tool y'all announced recently - huge upvote for getting that into Claude code.

Including the Claude Code v2 experience in VSCode.

Thank you, whoever added the setting to revert back to the terminal experience.
