Robot surgeries account for around 22% =

These robots are machines = operated by highly trained and experienced surgeons that remotely operate a= rms that hold tiny surgical instruments.

<strong>Aider: Using uv as an insta= ller (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
The Aider CLI Python utility uses an in= novative solution to help end users install it in an isolated virtual envir= onment without first needing to teach them what an 'isolated virtual enviro= nment' is. It uses the uv Rust binary to install aider-chat, which in turn = installs a brand-new standalone copy of Python 3.12 and puts it into uv's o=
wn managed directory structure where it shouldn't hurt anything else. There=
's more to it, and more advanced users may opt for an alternative installat= ion mechanism, but the pattern is a very tasteful way of getting everything=
working for non-expert Python users with minimal risk of breaking their sy= stems.
