This bothers me. ALL enterprise SaaS prohibits reverse-engineering in its TOS and CSA and most prohibit bots and automation. So, the buyer will need the vendor's explicit permission to use something like 100x; and when the vendor has something on the roadmap, even if it's delayed, there's little chance that the vendor will give this permission. Anybody else bothered by this? Anybody who has a successful workaround?

Yes, the biggest problem with Healthcare AI assistants right now is that there is no way to "prompt" the AI on what a physician needs in a given scenario - eg. "only include medically relevant information in HPI", "don't give me a layman explanation of radiographic reports", "include direct patient quotes when a neurological symptom is being described" etc.

And the prompt landscape in the field is vast. And fascinating. Every specialist has their own preference for what is important to include in a note vs what should be excluded; and this preference changes by disease - what a neurologist want in an epilepsy note is very different from what they need in a dementia note for eg.

Note preferences also change widely between physicians, even in the same practice and same specialty! I'm the founder of Marvix AI (www.marvixapp.ai), an AI assistant for specialty care, we work with several small specialty care practices where every physician has their own preferences on which details they want to retain in their note.

But if you can get the prompts to really align with a physician's preferences, this tech is magical - physicians regularly confess to us that this tech saves them ~2 hours every day. We have now had half a dozen physicians tell us in their feedback calls that their wives asked them to communicate their 'thanks' to us for getting their husbands back home for dinner on an important occasion!

To answer your specific question about where to store data - use Cockroach DB. Where do you plan to host? I'd recommend Netlify - it has good support for Next and integrates well with Cockroach DB.

There is a huge mistake in this reasoning! Time dilation goes to infinity at the center of the black hole - at the singularity, not at the event horizon! The event horizon could be millions of miles (many AUs) away from the singularity. Near the event horizon, her husband is likely to be falling rapidly into the black hole and is not going to be stuck indefinitely. So, it's Murder 1, immediately.

Wow, that's salty! Mismanagement compared to what? An omniscient entity that understood exactly what global advertisement demand and capital costs would look like in advance? The real world is messy and runs on estimates for everything. If Google is 6% off on their estimate for human resources, it should not be labelled 'mismanagement'.

See some videos on YouTube of Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger conducting Berkshire's annual shareholder meetings. It will help.

With the barrage of Astronomy articles that have been hitting HN front page of late, perhaps we should start asking, "Is it Aliens yet?"

The problem with this line of thinking is the power that media companies have. Media companies have immense power to alter political discourse to fit the narratives they prefer. Which gives immense political power to the owners of media companies, like Rupert Murdoch. Sometimes, enough power to "choose" senators, congresspeople, and even presidents. And this power doesn't have competition unless you allow all other companies to fight for their narratives with money.

What you have at the end is a stinking cesspool, but this cesspool is still better than your country's politicians pledging allegiance to the equivalents of Rupert Murdoch. This is exactly like Churchill's characterization of Democracy - horrible system but better than any other alternative.

Between the tax cuts and the energy-price guarantee, the bigger problem is the energy-price guarantee that has been announced by the government. It will put a cap on fuel prices for consumers and the resulting deficit is planned to be funded by the treasury. The deficit is estimated to be more than 100 Billion pounds, and it is planned to be funded by government borrowing. This has resulted in a weaker pound.
