<p>This hasn't been the case for a long time.  Unfortunately there are micro services that can still bring down the system if there's a bad enough bug.  That's not supposed to be able to happen as updates roll out over a period of time.  Unfortunately you can still get bit if another update creates a bug that takes out instances faster than they can be recreated.</p>

<p>First, I absolutely hate having to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll to try and figure out what's going on.<p>Second, I read this:<p>"The current prototypes already decode open-ended silent speech in real time, and accuracy continues to improve as we collect more data and train larger models. Like any input method, it can occasionally get something wrong, so the product is designed to use context and easy corrections rather than pretending errors never happen."<p>And I have to ask, does this mean everything I vocalize is being sent to an unknown server to be analyzed, potentially read by a person, and then used to train your model further?  Because that's clearly not going to fly for either me or my employer.  You need to be crystal clear what information people are potentially sharing with you before they purchase your devices.</p>

<p>You understand that 911 is a central dispatcher, not to the police specifically, right?  That they default more to the police is a completely different issue.<p>And I much prefer only having to worry about remembering 911.  In Norway I'm supposed to remember to call 112 for the police, 110 if there's a fire, and 113 if I need an ambulance or am having a medical emergency.</p>

<p>It feels more like a writing exercise - too many extraneous details right from the start: "I am a LegalTech Attorney leading a developer team" feel necessary if you're telling a story, but is completely irrelevant if you're reporting an issue.  And $5.04??  Who knows their spending requirements to that level of specificity?<p>Is it possible?  I guess, but I doubt they're being honest about what was being displayed on the screen.</p>

<p>If the purifier can filter the air more quickly than air leaves the room it'll still reduce the amount of pollutants in the air.  Most people aren't going to create a "clean side" and "dirty side" setup for filtering the air in a room.</p>

<p>Unfortunately HIV is not a solved problem.<p>Condoms?  They break.  More frequently than you might think.<p>Truvada and Descovy are great and make a big difference, but they require either high adherence to taking pills daily or being able to plan ahead for 2-1-1 (for same-sex relations - it's effectiveness for heterosexual intercourse hasn't been determined).<p>Apretude and Lenacapavir obviously require getting to a doctor or someone who can give you the injection either every other month or twice a year, is expensive, and can be very painful for some days afterward.  And, of course, they're expensive.<p>A vaccine is the only real option for dealing with HIV for good.</p>

<p>That's absolutely not correct.  Truvada has had the same formulation since it was introduced in 2012.  Descovy hasn't changed since it was approved in 2019.<p>You may be thinking of STD tests and bloodwork that is done every 3-6 months depending on your risk level to ensure that you're still HIV negative and that your kidneys are functioning normally, as kidney issues is a rare but serious side effect, especially for Truvada.<p>Now, what I believe is correct is that most people on PrEP would love to have a vaccine instead of needing a daily pill or even 2-6 injections per year as long as they remain sexually active.</p>
