Claude just added Health Connect integration for Android.

Meanwhile Copilot launched a full bot for it:

"Dos and don’ts of medical AI While AI is a useful tool that can help you understand medical information, it’s important to clarify what it’s designed to do (and what it isn’t).

Dos: Use AI as a reliable guide for finding doctors and understanding care options. Let AI act as an always available medical assistant that explains information clearly. Use AI as a transparent, unbiased source of clinically validated health content. Don’ts: Don’t use AI for medical diagnosis. If you’re concerned you may have a medical issue, you should seek the help of a medical professional. Don’t replace your doctor or primary care provider with an “AI doctor”. AI isn’t a doctor. You should always consult a professional before making any medical decisions. This clarity is what makes Copilot safe" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-indivi...

There is a reason we are smart enough to develop finasteride and dutasteride that are extremely effective and safe¹ instead of relying on plants & herbs which are just weak versions of taking a drug anyway.

¹ the science is sound, the safety is absolutely a guarantee. There is a group of about 10 individuals who have spent their entire life spreading their neurological issues and obsession with fake reports and exaggerations of the harmful made-up side effects that cannot be repeated in any study whatsoever anywhere..

I actually could not believe the other day that they are still active and have managed to cause the FDA to issue a guidance that there might be higher side effect rates than otherwise were reported .

It's actually ridiculous, and every news article and study about it are almost entirely mentioning people who's just start believing in their heads that they have side effects when they actually don't. And yet the news articles took this as evidence of a story that has been hidden or something .

I really thought that those 10 or so individuals who you used to be able to read their forum posts back in 2006 when they tried to tell every young guy in the world not to take it for hair loss would have fizzled out by now.

What? Old reddit isn't using old facts.

I skimmed down and if this was about Kagu indexing being out of date then sorry I just realized that

Alternatively, FT has always allowed 95%+ of paywalls to be bypassed by being referred from Bing. Copy subject, Bing.com, paste, click FT, no paywall

I didn't know any of this. Thanks.

"The U.S. Munitions List changes over time. Until 1996–1997, ITAR classified strong cryptography as arms and prohibited their export from the U.S.[5]

Another change occurred as a result of Space Systems/Loral's conduct after the February 1996 failed launch of the Intelsat 708 satellite. The Department of State charged Space Systems/Loral with violating the Arms Export Control Act and the ITAR.[6][7]

As a result, technology pertaining to satellites and launch vehicles became more carefully protected." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_....

It did work, I used it myself. A quick search shows others who had my experience. This was late 2019 for me. Here's the first link and the Google post on rolling out in summer 2019:

"Google Assistant just made a dinner reservation for me... I knew this was coming... but mind blown!" https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/ezv3us/google_a...

"Now, you can use it on all Pixel phones in 43 U.S. states.

All it takes is a few seconds to tell your Assistant where you'd like to go. Just ask the Assistant on your phone, “Book a table for four people at [restaurant name] tomorrow night.” The Assistant will then call the restaurant to see if it can accommodate your request. Once your reservation is successfully made, you’ll receive a notification on your phone, an email update and a calendar invite so you don’t forget."

* Apps can implement Notification Channels, a way to categorize different types of notifications so that users can enable some but not others.

This is something that is underutilized by non power users on Android, and makes it FAR better than iOS on top of the already better notification delivery system

recently got an iPhone 15 Pro and man, iOS sucks
