Quebec health system sucks so much, but instead of complaining about it, I tried to make something to make my life better in future. Quebec actually publishes all their emergency room stats, but ensures difficulty in consumption by publishing a rolling 7-day file that deletes its own history, in Latin-1 encoding from 1987

This site will beautify it so you just press a button on where you are, and it'll show you which ER near you is least busy. Basically where you'll wait the least.

Hopefully this helps people.

Tesla just quoted me 2kcad to replace all 4 brakes because they are too rusted. Is this worth it? I plan to drive the car till it dies. I was hoping i woild never have to replace the brakes because of regen, but i guess I have to replace them due to not using them enough. Has anyone gone through this? Should i cough up 2k?

I run a small site tracking what the big 4 recommend for "best X" tooling questions and yesterday got curious if the tier dropdown actually matters, like does Haiku recommend the same stack as Opus. Ran the identical prompt through every tier I could reach as a normal subscriber: Claude Haiku/Sonnet/Opus, GPT 5.5 and 5.6 (wanted the minis too but OpenAI blocks them on ChatGPT-account Codex so for GPT it's generations not sizes), Gemini 3.5 Flash and 3.1 Pro, and Grok's Fast vs Expert modes on grok.com.

10 questions total: vector DBs, coding assistants, LLM observability, RAG frameworks, GPU clouds, TTS APIs, gateways, agent frameworks, evals, API providers. One run per tier, same day, same wording.

Not a single question got the same #1 from all 9 tiers. Within one family the winner changes about half the time, Claude tiers agreed 4/10, Gemini 5/10, GPT 6/10, Grok 7/10.

The self-preference stuff is the part I keep thinking about. On "best frontier LLM API provider": Haiku and Sonnet both say Anthropic but Opus says OpenAI. Gemini is the mirror image, Flash says OpenAI and Pro says Google. GPT-5.5 says OpenAI, 5.6 says Anthropic, and both Grok modes say Anthropic which means the bigger Claude gets the more it dunks on its own maker while Gemini does the opposite. no idea why.

Also every flagship tier said CoreWeave for GPU clouds while the two cheapest tiers in the grid (Haiku and Gemini Flash) both said Lambda, and Flash picked pgvector over Pinecone, so the budget models apparently recommend the budget stack. Small n so probably noise but still.

Obvious caveat that it's one sample per tier per question and these things aren't deterministic, some chunk of this is just re-roll variance (want to re-run the grid a few times to see which flips actually hold, the tiers also aren't really comparable across vendors, sizes vs generations vs reasoning budgets, whatever, it's "what a subscriber gets from each dropdown option" not a controlled sweep).

Partly posting because everyone doing the "what does ChatGPT say about my product" thing tests the flagship API, meanwhile free tier users are talking to the small models and getting different answers.
