Today I learned that "deprecate" used to mean "to pray against, as an evil," which explains why, in the modern usage, deprecated technologies are the ones we most want to adopt and use.

Super enjoyed the Candy Claus Private Dan Lyke / comment 0
Super enjoyed the Candy Claus, Private Eye comedy audio drama podcast, but when discussion episodes talk about this new medium, I wanna scream.
Where were y'all when Norm Sherman and Abigail Hilton and Chris Lester and Nathan Lowell and all those folks were doing their things over a decade ago?
LLMs in law of the day Dan Lyke / comment 1
As of March 2025, Ms. Watson was on notice of her mistakes when an opposing attorney informed her directly that she had submitted a brief that contained misrepresentations of law. She was apparently then given an opportunity to fix the issue without consequence. Instead of learning from her mistake, she failed to change her ways and continued the same practice of not verifying AI output—only then, her conduct additionally violated the Firm’s policy prohibiting use of external AI tools.
As Eric Goldman @ericgoldman.bsky.social summarized
An attorney couldn't stop using Grok (?!) to help draft filings, producing "a flood of tainted filings" & apparently triggering the implosion of a law firm & 3 lawyers' careers 🤖😵 The court called her misconduct "particularly egregious & prolific"
and Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social observed:
Already unacceptable to use LLMs to draft filings and even worse, if you do, not to have checked the citations. But if you ARE going to do that, why of all LLMs out there would you use *GROK*?
And elsewhere: As more lawyers fall for AI hallucinations, ChatGPT says: Check my work, same article republished as How AI-driven hallucinatory filings are impacting Arizona courts
The AI Hallucination Cases database – maintained by Damien Charlotin, a researcher at HEC Paris, a leading business school in France – identifies a half-dozen federal court filings in Arizona since September 2024 that include fabricated material from ChatGPT or another generative AI tool.
Hopefully we'll start to see some real penalties for lawyers who outsource their work to the plausible bullshit generators.

It’s offensive and presumptuous to wish strangers “Happy Holidays.”
You don’t know them. Maybe they don’t practice happiness.
No picture because it's basically just Dan Lyke / comment 0
No picture, because it's basically just another shot of that same jig, but just did the first glue-up of the veneer on the inside of the table inset, using an old yoga mat to prove pressure.
And I have some 2x12 that looks like very clean vg Doug Fir that I think is gonna be the rim, legs, and pedestal. Still need to sort inside the recess...

Clamping so that the ring stays fixed Dan Lyke / comment 0
Clamping so that the ring stays fixed, and keeping the router in place, is tough. Hope this works....
inset train dining room table continues Dan Lyke / comment 0
the inset train dining room table continues, I'm trying to get a very consistent height ring cut, so I made a large Lazy Susan so I can spin this thing against a router to try to cut it.
