I had bleeding for a over a year and every time there was a good explanation. After all the news about cancer I pushed for a colonoscopy at 41.

36 polyps were found. Some of elevated risk. So now I get yearly screening. But by the sounds of the type of polyps I had, if I had waited until the screening age I would have had high chances of cancer.

You're absolutely right

Where do we draw the line at AI edited comments. Technically spell check has been "editing" my comments since I first started on here.

That's sad there have been some really neat things shared that way but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

I've been using GLM 4.7 with opencode.

It is for sure not as good but the generous limits mean that for a price I can afford I can use it all day and that is game changer for me.

I can't use this model yet as they are slowly rolling it out but I'm excited to try it.

Ask HN: Have LLMs improved the lives of the blind?

xupybd — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:30:25 +0000

It seems me that a system that is mainly a text interface but can read images and websites would be a big win for the blind community but I haven't heard anything about it.

Is anyone able to shed some light on the impact?
