Huge perf issues because of this.
Also had some serious bugs for a few week. Had to let WhatsApp Web wait for completely sync for 15 minutes~ or else it just stop responding and crashes everything.
When I switched from Windows, the thing that I missed from Windows on Linux was the native WhatsApp App. Now they killed there, so feeling better on my switch now!
I switched from Windows to Linux it's been 2 years. One of the few things I missed on Windows, was the native WhatsApp app, as the Web WhatsApp it's horrible. Then a few months Meta killed the native app and made into a webview-app :)
I think it must some Visa/Master contract?
But any doctor can do it, not just SUS doctors. You know the country we live in. Private doctors will do the prescription... Actually, to buy it you already need a prescription, and yet, even skinny healthy folks buy ozempic.
And to get in the SUS, it's pretty simple here in Paraná at least (and as a SUS user). The worst that happens, it's that for expensive/controlled medicines, they centralize into a single public pharmacy in the city center, and you need to schedule a day/time, and bring the ID - don't even need to be the user, you can ask anyone you want to get it if the prescription and ID it's there.
Which is why for my cheap medicine, I prefer to buy it. Not worth for me going to city center only for 30 pills that cost R$ 15.
But note that the patent was only granted in 2019, it took 13 years. They went to court last year, but the justice (as far as I know) has continued to follow the precedent that the original filing date applies.
So they went to the federal government to try to change the law, but the government has refused so far.
The INPI (Brazilian Patent Office) used to take a VERY long time to register/grant patents. It's faster now (about 4 years on average), but it's still slow.
But I'm seeing here that in the US it was 2017. So not that different from 2019 anyway.
PS: Brazil also have several local labs focused on generics, and besides this, there's also state-owned lab, Fiocruz, who makes vaccines and medicines as well, several of them, to distribute though SUS.
In Brazil by the constitution, everyone has the right of health, so if the public health care (SUS) don't distribute, you can sue the governament and get the medicine. So there's a big incentive for the governament to make patents expire as soon as possible to have generics and include on SUS.
e.g Fiocruz manufacture PrEP, and started now PrEP injection (Cabotegravir).
That said, I believe it will go even further.
To get medication through the SUS, you only need a prescription from a doctor. Any doctor. So even if the SUS itself don't prescribe, you can just find a doctor who will do it...
But, likely SUS will prescribe anyway. Rio mayor:
"Rio will be a city where there will be no more chubby people; everyone will be taking Ozempic at family clinics." "Said the mayor, adding that he has already taken the medication. He claimed to have lost 30kg with the medication."
Also, Rio mayor already said he will just give to everyone basically lol
You also need to remind that on a public health care system, having less obese people means you'll spend less on health care.
This year they already did an analysis to include Ozempic, but it was denied, probably because of the cost difference...
But they were trying on justice to extend the patent...
Double.
Looking forward to try GLM 4.6.
But Z AI should do like KIMI¹ and launch a verifier to see how GLM models behave on 3rd party providers.
Obviously it doesn't stop all crimes, probably helps on some.
Just saying how there is a very different culture, where no one see having an ID as something weird and invasive.
Here that would be seen as a completely insane.
This is also the case with OpenAI and their models. Pretty standard I guess.
They don't change the versioning, because I guess they don't consider it to be "a new model trained from scratch".
You can also use the API directly for free on OpenRouter.
Not sure the fault it's "doing bad code", I guess it's just not being good at being agentic. Saw this on Gemini CLI and other tools.
GLM, Kimi, Qwen-Code all behaves better for me.
Probably Gemini 3 will fix this, as Gemini 2.5 Pro it's "old" by now.
[...] What is your position on the final outcome of the trial?

This is one of the few polls that got the 2022 election results right, so pretty big deal.
