At least in Poland, I can almost always see my results before my doctor does - I get a notification that the labwork is ready and I can view results online. Also, the regular bloodwork is around $50-$100 (for noninsured or without a prescri

I have a friend from Venezuela (living in EU), and I remember how sad he was that Maduro was „elected”. Unlike Ukraine, Maduro wasn’t elected democratically, so „unelecting” him through force is not as terrible.

I'd say this is similar to working with assembly vs c++ vs python. Programming in python you learn less about low level architecture trivia than in assembly, but you learn way more in terms of high level understanding of issues. When I

OpenAI is ten years old, dotcom companies were 2-3 years old. Some dotcom-boom companies that survived also had sustained multi billion dollar losses afair - Amazon and Uber for example.

They don’t want to spend 30 min explaining domain knowledge required to understand a certain super specific case. Instead they show tech’s quality on a basic highest common denominator use case and allow people to extrapolate to their cases

So far it was either the cheapest or the safest. Also, solar is now both cheaper and safer.

With most tech we reach law of diminishing returns. That is sure, there is still a variation, but very little: - the best laptop/phone/tv in the world doesn’t offer mich more than the most affordable - you can get for free a pen n

Hm, example queries that failed you? Also, did you do DR from OpenAI, or others? (OpenAI's is a different league, and people sometimes confuse that with Perplexity's or Google's). For me, the main place where it fails is spec
