It is somewhat of a critical tool, so you don't wanna be checked by a doctor who made their own stethoscope or got one for 3 USD on AliExpress.

It’s funny, most physicians agree that the cheap disposable stethoscopes in isolation rooms are the best, mostly because they are so loud it’s difficult miss anything with them. However, I am not a cardiologist so they may have a different opinion.

I've actually found them pretty terrible. I can't hear subtle findings at all with those. My usual stethoscope is an older-model Littman Cardiology III with stiff rubber and a dual pediatric-adult head. I've had it for over 25 years.

I guess it's different strokes, because I can definitely hear subtle sounds much easier with them. In fact normal sounds sound like it is going to blow out my ears. The only issue I have is consistency; it's difficult to gauge how much something has changed over time with different stethoscopes, especially pulmonary edema and wheezing.

I would really disagree as a physician that's used a lot of random crap stethoscopes when I don't have one or in an iso room. Those disposable ones are different in what they pick up, some findings are louder others not detectable. Sure I can pick up some stuff like rubs and systolic murmurs but you aren't going to get more subtle findings like diastolic murmurs and fine crackles. Probably a combination of certain frequencies responding and also me being used to mine.

Our one that DIY'd one like one would do a dosing rod in their garage.

Well-formed sentence one dosed for make benefit understandability not garage DIY'd one?

Written on ether?

People just wanna track stuff, they don't really look into is something HIPPA compliant or read the ToS. App store push, recommendation, word of mouth are what makes the app like this spread, not really details HIPPA compliance.

Why not a walk? No podcasts or music, just walk.

It didn't go dark, and doesn't seem that critical in general.

General idea still stands, but it is not like this just disappeared and backups will stop working.

It made Sam richer.

I don't know their margin so I can't really say, but do we have 8 OpenAI accounts, I doubt they are making that much with us seeing that there isn't a single hour where we don't saturate the accounts.

Wtf are you even talking about? Sam has zero stake in OpenAI.

Of course he doesn't.

You really think that for companies of this size, signing a contract would immediately reflect in you as end user noticing improved model quality?

Funny hearing you’re saying only GPT 5.5 (and Opus) can do this, having in mind that it came out last night.

To be clear, I'm not saying that they can do this.

I'm saying that if you're trying to have AI write code for you and you want to do as little cleanup as possible, you have to use the best model available.

No one serious uses grok.

@grok is this true?

This comment deserves more love

YMMV but Grok 4.1 Fast can usually find via static analysis a few things that other models dont seem to catch with the same prompt

Why not? Honest question.

Because the Grok models offer nothing different in serious contexts from the other leading models which don't come with a heaping pile of bad baggage.

The name isn't changed.

the current administration is using the war name, it doesn't matter what it technically is because they are using it to plainly state their ambitions for it

They are calling Gulf of Mexico with a wrong name either, that doesn't mean they are right.

this isn't a discussion about wrong vs right

Its also kinda funny they have to rely on system prompt to control verbosity itself.

It's cheaper than retraining the model.

So? 4.7.1, 4.7.2, etc. makes sense for versioning system prompts.
