I'm in the same boat. My work laptop is shut down everyday once I finish my work.

My company is shifting us from Cursor to Claude due to increased costs.

New comment by DedlySnek in "OpenAI’s o1 correctly diagnosed 67% of ER patients vs. 50-55% by triage doctors"

DedlySnek — Mon, 04 May 2026 09:25:29 +0000

They have covered this in the article.

> But it is not curtains for emergency doctors yet, the researchers said. The study only tested humans against AIs looking at patient data that can be communicated via text. The AI’s reading of signals, such as the patient’s level of distress and their visual appearance, were not tested. That means the AI was performing more like a clinician producing a second opinion based on paperwork.

This isn't a joke anymore I'm afraid. In my company there's a big push to use as much AI as possible. Mine isn't even a big and/or famous company.

You missed another important point - corruption.

Do you mean extra spaces at the end of line? If yes then select the lines, go to:

> Early on it was among the best of Chrome-cousins and I’d just leave it as the default browser on new Windows installs

Yes! I remember installing the leaked version before the official launch and being really impressed on how fast it was. The UI was also a welcome change. But over time they've added so many unwanted features. It just feels so bloated and slower than chrome now.

From rest.li's github page[0] -

At LinkedIn, we are focusing our efforts on advanced automation to enable a seamless, LinkedIn-wide migration from Rest.li to gRPC. gRPC will offer better performance, support for more programming languages, streaming, and a robust open source community. There is no active development at LinkedIn on new features for Rest.li. The repository will also be deprecated soon once we have migrated services to use gRPC. Refer to this blog[1] for more details on why we are moving to gRPC.

DedlySnek — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 04:49:22 +0000

This seems region specific. I tried searching for "chrome" on bing, in incognito with uBlock Origin turned off and all I got was a banner at the top of the search results asking me to try edge, all links below that were pages related to chrome. I'm in India.

I had the exact same thought. Hopefully a compact mode is being considered.

> 3) When you buy something (say Domain name in Indian company),there are chances that they sell your information across many corporate interests without your consent.

Here's a fun experiment. Create a temporary email or an email alias & register it on naukri.com & watch your inbox get flooded with non-job related emails.

And here's another one, go to a local store for porting your sim, and receive a ton of calls for loan & credit cards (which unfortunately is quite common).

Data is sold in India by almost every entity.

I'm not aware of why Microsoft was pissed and created .Net. Can you link to some article or video that provides some context/ backstory?

Seems weird that Samsung would use a competitor's fab to manufacture their own SoC
