Show HN: Oncourse AI – Personal AI Study Mate for Med Students

https://getoncourse.ai/usmle

Hi HN! We're Oncourse AI — an AI-powered medical exam prep platform. We built this because watching friends waste 6-12 months on ineffective prep was painful.The problem: Medical students use static question banks (UWorld, Amboss) + generic study plans. They burn out, waste 10+ hours/week, and have no data on what's actually working. Average pass rate has stagnated for years.In my college, I...

You can still do a Cmd+L or a Cmd+K (Might be Ctrl instead of Cmd for you) to get to Search.

Try using Apple Music. That shit is 5 years behind Spotify in any UX measure.

Yes it is. I have tried 6 others and all of them give much much worse results in lots of cases. It won’t matter if you search something popular, but otherwise you notice the difference.
Apple Maps is a complete joke in India for instance. I’ve heard of stories of people getting lost because they followed it, then they open Google Maps and get the actual directions. Apple Maps is also almost never updated here. Good luck finding new places, instead you will find places that were closed 2 years ago.

I like its new UI but the most crucial parts of the Map such as directions are so horribly wrong that it would frustrate you.

There’s no reporting institution that gets all reporting right. I surely disagree with lots of NYT reports but they do a better job than most others in explaining a story. I’d be happy to take recommendations though on where to get maybe better written briefings everyday.

Is it any good? What's with all the dislikes?

It’s so sincere that it doesn’t sound like a joke. Maybe the fact that they are a paid subscription they can do this? What’s the pricing of Beepr?

For the uninitiated, Brian Kernighan also wrote a book titled "Unix: A History and a Memoir" published in 2019. Would recommend.

The end result is a sparse network that more closely "mimics the brain". Is this as significant as it sounds or is there something I am missing here?

Not very responsive.
He’s actually tried out a myriad of psychedelics and had a big role to play in synthesising psilocybin (I think he named that himself as well). He talks about all of this in his book which is pleasantly surprising and very well written. Would recommend.
