My father who doesn’t speak English well, was experiencing a heart attack at home at night by himself and he asked it symptoms and it told him to drive himself to an ER, so he listened to it. I’m thankful that he’s here today.

Similarly, my father had a delicate CV issue recently (he's fine now!). We were only able to do the best research on risks, best approaches, etc with the help of LLM deep research. We would be mostly flying blind-trusting the first doctor we talked to.

I use Go daily for work, alongside Dart, Python.

I say switching to Go is like a different kind of Zen. It takes time, to settle in and get in the flow of Go... Unlike the others, the LSP is fast, the developer, not so much. Once you've lost all will to live you become quite proficient at it. /s

I also sing "Fade to Black" when I have to write go :D

What does real-time mean here? Would it work e.g. in a live stream?
