<p>Corporate lawyer at big law firm here. I believe the model will be like this: we will review your 1000 agreements but with AI. AI is generally accurate but has some risks, if you agree we will charge you less. The client will agree. Instead of spending 300-400 hours to review the ageeements AI will do instantly. A lawyer will spend the time on reviewing the red flags identified and draft a report.
We already do the same with translation. Before computer translation became good (i.e pre-Deepl era), we used to translate documents (cease and desist letters, court petitions etc.) ourselves. Now we offer AI translation free of charge. If client wants reliance on the translation we charge a small bit. 
Lawfirms are also under pressure for meeting internal budgets. Most clients ask for capped fees. If you charge 10k for a job to a client and the hourly costs ramp up to 20k, the management criticises the partner, the associates become unwilling to work for the partner (as their hours get written off).
So with AI law firms can bet more competitively as the cost (human attorney hours) are reduced.</p>

<p>Lawyer here. I used to trust Claude as hallucinations are near non-existent now. However for large volume tasks such as due diligence exercises, they still happen.
We also tried Legora's tabular review, there were also numerous halucinated provisions in our due diligence exercise.</p>

<p>To ration insulin you limit eating carbs. If you don't eat, you need less insulin.<p>Treatment for DKA as far as I kmow is to give glucose insulin and potassium.<p>For example if  you have a stomach bug and can't keep down anything you are at risk of developing DKA even if your BG is normal.<p>The thing is how do we know we are starving the body of fuel. Most diabetics (me included) are told not to exercise if bg is higher than 250mg/dl, but that is it. We hit over 250 mg/dl frequently and sometimes stay there for multiple hours (infusion set problems, fatty food etc.).<p>T1D athletes report that they eat a lot and take a lot insulin before/after training and they say they get tired very easily if they don't. They thought this as restoring the glucogen reserves in muscles but maybe it is about fueling the body.<p>I sometimes feel uneasy even my bg is okay and it had led me to panic attacks. Now when I think it could be raised ketones, or just anxiety.<p>Knowing the ketones would be helpful.<p><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/11795514261431390" rel="nofollow">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/11795514261431390</a></p>

<p>Ketoacidosis can also happen with stable blood sugars if you don't get enough insulin. There were people rationing insulin due to cost and some of them died of DKA even if their blood glucose was perfectly stable. 
Another possibility of DKA with good blood sugars is when you are sick.
I think this data would be helpful.</p>

<p>Yes, this is true. There were also news about some Americans rationing insulin due to cost. Their blood sugar levels were normal, but they had high ketones and unfortunately died of DKA.
When I got first diagnosed, we were given ketone urine strips and told to use them, with the advance of glucometers, we forgot about ketone testing.</p>

<p>Minimed 780g user here, it is not perfect. For a true closed loop we need a system that can give glucagon as well.
The current closed loop only gives you insulin to lower your blood glucose. When it gives too much it wakes you up and asks you to treat it. 
You also have to accurately count carbs of meals you eat, enter when you exercise.
The sensors are also not quite reliable so sometimes it freaks out and you calibrate and go manual.<p>For a closed loop we need insulin and glucagon in conjunction to keep the bg stable without user intervention.</p>

<p>AFAIK, apple does not release drivers open source, asahi is a reverse-engineering endeavour and does not support GPU. 
For nvidia, there are both proprietary and open-source linux drivers. CUDA and inference works on linux with nvidia. 
I would recommend checking out this video of Alex Ziskind to shop for a computer to run local LLMs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mevUEQcumzU&t=224s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mevUEQcumzU&t=224s</a>. 
TL;DR besides Apple he recommends, DGX Spark, Tenstorrent Wormhole N300, AMD Radeon 7900 and NVIDIA RTX 5090.</p>

<p>I think you are confusing Erdogan with Imamoglu. Imamoglu has photographs, classmates, there is no doubt that he attended college. His diploma was anulled because he transferred initially from a different college. He spent 4 years at the Istanbul uni, attended classes, passed the exams, there is no doubt in that.<p>On the other hand, Erdogan does not have a single photograph during his university years, no classmates to back his story. He started a two year degree, but there is no evidence he attended a four year program.
A public notary issued a same as original certification on a disputed document. The original diploma of erdogan cannot be found. Looking at the date of the diploma, the university faculty didn't even exist yet.</p>

<p>Have you tried Claude.ai. In my experience on computer science topics, the LLMs are very good. Because they have been trained on a vast amount of information online. I just had a nice conversation about mutexes and semaphores with claude and was able to finally grasp what they were.<p>I do not know if this is the case for example for mathematics or sciences.</p>

<p>No, this is not accurate in my trials. I use Claude.ai daily. If you ask questions on niche topics or dive down too deep, it says that resources on the topic are limited and you should consult a book.</p>

<p>This was a very cool read. Programmers were programmers even back in the day of Mark I.<p>It is cool to see that they dabbled in natural language processing back then. This is years before Eliza and they were working on generating English prose based on English grammar. Very impressive!<p>The music generation program they wrote is equally impressive. The recording that was playing shows that they were adept enough to time events in the computer so good that they could playback songs. This was back in the early 1950s.</p>

<p>There are ways around this. For example set a property tax from second home on. Do not tax the primary residence. Or set income brackets. If poorer people live in their own homes they don't pay property tax.</p>

<p>That is the very problem we are facing in Turkey :). The municipality determines the value of housing in a neighborhood each year. That is taken as a basis for property taxes and transaction taxes. The municipality assessed value is somewhere near 1/20th of the value of an average flat. So, almost no tax gets collected :(.</p>

<p>In countries with high inflation purchasing real-estate and keeping it vacant is an inflation hedge. Plus, you also benefit from low interest rates and get free money if your government allows it.<p>I live in Turkey. We had 80% p.a. inflation, where the government decided to lower the interest rates even further. Our president said Interest rates are the cause of inflation and if we lowered interest rates inflation would go down. State banks gave out house loans with 12% p.a. interest where the inflation rate was above 80% p.a.<p>A lot of Turkish people got their free money from the bank and invested in real estate. In Turkey, everyone evades tax and property taxes are not really collected. This in turn fueled inflation even more, sky-rocketed inequality and caused the worst housing crisis.<p>That is why I am convinced that property taxes are a must.</p>
