Yes, you can. It's a relatively recent addition. The original commenter probably doesn't see much difference between copilot and Cursor because copilot has caught up quite a lot in the last couple months
My experience is also that (in the uk at least) it can't be done accurately with openstreetmap data.
For context, I've tried it! I've been working on a free library for geocoding UK addresses quickly and accurately. It comes with the caveat that you need access to the dataset of all addresses you're geocoding against - which could be your own list, or a commercial product like addressbase: https://github.com/robinL/uk_address_matcher/
There is a game called dragonbox algebra which I'm currently working through with my son and is an absolutely fantastic approach to this problem. Sadly its now part of a horrendous subscription service and is hard to access. I find it really sad that we've had computers for decades and there are so few good maths games like this.
As a senior in high school, I devoured this game in elementary school and got way better at math than my peers. Now taking differential equations and multivariable calculus through our college in the high school (CHS) program. When I looked for it out of curiosity I was sad to see it transformed into a subscription service.
Preface: I'm a yimby who wants to see far more building, especially building upwards in London, but also more general building elsewhere.
That said, a 100 year wait for social housing in Westminster is not surprising, and not as bad as it sounds. A typical professional couple in London could not afford a family home in Westminster, and it's extremely common for people in their 30s to move out of the centre when they have kids. I don't think this should be any different for social tenants: they should certainly not have to wait 100 years, but it seems reasonable for them to be offered housing outside of Westminster. The Guardian article I read about the 100 year wait specifically mentioned 3 and 4 bed family homes, and my immediate reaction was that no one else can get them either!
I think the bigger problem is the lack of affordable housing particularly for young families (social or otherwise) outside of London
Does anyone know how this pricing works? Supposing I have a classification prompt where I need the response to be a binary yes/no. I need one token of output, but reasoning will obviously add far more than 6 additional tokens. Is it still a 6x price multiplier? That doesn't seem to make sense, but not does paying 6x more for every token including reasoning ones
The referral is just because a non expert can't be sure. The cost of the referral is relatively small, but the cost of getting it wrong is large.
Someone I know recently had a referral - it's pretty light touch, you just get a prompt appointment, and they do a minor op to remove the mole, and send it to the lab for testing. Luckily in their case, it wasn't cancer. But nothing in the process seemed weird, it was just the way of the GP escalating it because they couldn't be sure. Hypothetically, if the AI had been able to diagnose with higher certainty than the GP, all of this could have been avoided, so definitely room for improvement.
Do all cases in the UK start with a GP? No ability to go straight to a dermatologist? And are all dermatologists based out of hospitals?
In the US, we'd just go straight to a dermatologist, who would either remove it on the spot, or for a location that's liable to scar badly, refer to a specialist surgeon. For somebody fair skinned with lots of sun damage like myself, it's an annual "ritual".
Most UK health stuff starts with a GP appointment.
Even for private health care, you usually see a GP first (could be a private GP or NHS, in-person or video) and they then refer you to the next thing whatever that may be. ( N.B. that a NHS GP can give you a referral that you use for private treatment)
There are some things you can just straight up book an appointment for yourself without a referral from a GP, but 95% of the time you start with a GP.
No idea specifically about dermatologists, but my expectation would be that would be the sort of thing that would need a referral for. Perhaps for some "non-medical" procedures and 100% for cosmetic procedures you don't need a referral, but anything even tangentially close to The C Word would almost certainly be sending you down the normal channels.
I wonder what % of GP skin consults result in a referral? If it’s even remotely close to a majority, seems like it would be better just going straight to the dermatologist.
Sample of one, but every spot (5+ over the past decade) I’ve asked my dermatologist about has resulted in a biopsy and of those several were cancer.
I’m sure there is an incentive, but at least in my case the rate of biopsy to confirm cancers is greater than 50% so it certainly seems to me like the biopsies are in fact warranted.
yes, and in the entire GP practice they do not have a single device invented in the 21st century. All the tools they have are a stethoscope, oxymeter, otoscope, blood pressure monitor, basically stuff you might have at home
They can't, for example, do a rapid antigen test or a lateral flow test, ultrasound or anything else you may consider a sign of modern medicine and diagnostics. Stuff countries in Eastern Europe and East Asia have already adopted.
Their diagnostic conclusion is heavily influenced by a spreadsheet that lists statistic probability of illness for different demographics, as advised Mckinsey.
If you happen to have a serious condition but fall into a group that is 'suppose to be' healthy (young man with Pneumonia) you will be bounced and told to go home until your condition deteriorates.
They will gatekeep you from getting an X-ray. When your condition deteriorates and is incontrovertible you will be taken seriously, but now you need serious treatment instead of a quick round of antibiotics.
Popular opinion in Britain is that the NHS is great, but it's overburdened. But it's fallen behind - management practices are archaic, diagnostics is poor, and there is lack of accountability and first reaction to medical errors is to brush off the patients / victims.
Over the past few decades, the first reaction of NHS management is to cover up their mistakes.
Just read the Wiki page about Great Ormond Street Hospitalk, the hospital that treats the country's most severely ill children:
> Great Ormond Street Hospital was involved in a scandal regarding the removal of live tissue and organs from children during surgery and onward sale to pharmaceutical companies without the knowledge of parents in 2001
Or the case with bone surgeon Yaser Jabbar, at the same hospital, who caused severe harm to 22 children and the hospital fought the parents and brushed issues under the carpet. Issues like removing wrong organ and getting length of a foot wrong by 20 centimeters. He operated on 700 children before someone put a stop to it
As a big user of vega lite I think that's fair. I think it really shines when used by data vis experts, where charts need to be precise, such as in research and analysis contexts. For something like a simple a metrics dashboard I think I'd agree that it may be difficult for devs.
