Interestingly while the minorities have a higher birth rate compared to the majority Chinese, the ethnic breakdown remains the exact same throughout the decades. This is because Singapore's unsaid migration policy is such that the government takes in more immigrants of Chinese ethnicity to make up for the shortfall.

Again - internal self sufficiency is not the basis of development.

S. America has relatively free trade for things they need, and there are no hugely relevant issues there.

The wheat innovation is going to be nice for Brazil, but more as a function of expansion of industry, not really on the basis of 'self sufficiency'.

Brazil's path to wealth lies through the reform of civic and social institutions, not through some kind of magic grain.

The same could be said of most places.

I wish YouTube had a better support system for content creators.
I doubt US would be able to see a level of medical accessibility on par with many European countries. The medical education system has a perverse incentive to reduce the yearly graduates -- the less graduates there are, the more profits and prestiges each of the current members can garner (with arguably better trained graduates) -- and as shown in the article, they seem to have monopolistic capability for the throttling. And the incentive is only larger when people spend more disposable income for their healthcare, which has been the case. Maybe political powers may shift the direction a bit, but I do not see any evidence of a major course correction.

Medical school and residency are incredibly hard things. So you could make getting admitted to them easier sure but you’d be setting people up to fail if they can’t pull 80 hour weeks and manage information overload when they get there.

From someone who ran a FB ads agency and managed over $20m... do SEO.

Why?

Simply because in the "long term" all the competitors of the brands we helped outperformed our clients.

But there is a caveat to this...

Before you invest in SEO, you need to know which content will perform.

So, before investing in SEO, I would:

1. Write 10 different articles that cover topics that your client cares about. These can be short, the goal is not SEO. However, they must be good and have value.

2. Take $2,000 of your 50k and mark it as your "test budget"

3. Run FB ads to these articles as content ads. Make it clear in the ad which problem each article. Put all 10 ads as $10/day. You will run each article for 5 days. Go live. This is a 500$ test.

4. Write another 10 articles that cover a different 10 problems. Repeat the above. $500 test.

5. Repeat 2 more rounds. $500 each.

6. Now you have an enormous amount of data that tells you what your audience cares about. Start SEO based on this data.

7. 3 years from now, you will be well beyond your competition, unless they started SEO 10 years ago... haha :D

The point here is to use data to fuel your SEO strategy. While im not an SEO expert, I can tell you that most people spend time writing about things people do not care about. You also want to do keyword research to optimise the topics people care about (but this is step 3).
In last 1.5 year I realised that even people with some knowledge can be barbarians.
Even tech people in russia voluntarily go to war to destroy Ukraine and kill as much ukrainians as they can.
I think it depends. To me bad actor seems more like a technical term than a moral one. I can see how it's easy to pass judgment on people described literally as "bad" in some way, but only if I'm unprofessionally intertwining my morals with my ethics. If you don't believe in punishment in the first place then such terms lose their deontological charge.
> As far as I know, there are no serious competitors yet.

Anyone reading this want to build one? :)
>> (e.g. anything where the servers are not connected to the Internet and do not even have every-few-days Internet access

It is possible to add your own root certificate to clients on the LAN. so the equivalent of hand-distributed keys. Granted, this leads to unwelcome other problems (you can't limit your root to your local domain) so it's not often done, but it is possible.

Personally I prefer the DNS-challenge approach I described in a sibling comment.
The Brainformer building block is designed using neural architecture search.

"Brainformer consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art dense and sparse Transformers, in terms of both quality and efficiency. A Brainformer model with 8 billion activated parameters per token demonstrates 2× faster training convergence and 5× faster step time compared to its GLaM counterpart."

Note that the 8B model mentioned above has 158B total parameters. The authors compare the training time to other sparsely activated models, but seemingly not to dense models.

I'm still dismayed at how Windows Phone fizzled the way it did, and I've been an Apple user for three decades now. The Metro UI was one of the more innovative UI approaches I've seen—from anyone, and definitely from Microsoft. I remember looking at the Zune and thinking, huh, this is not the "Windows attempt at an iPod" that I was expecting.

I probably wouldn't ever have bought one, but Windows Phone was not, for once, a mere iOS clone, and I respect that.
I agree we want medical personnel who are very well trained, certainly better than software engineers.

I'm less clear about which aspects of the current medical education system produce effective training and which are more of a hazing run selecting for the privilege and determination to survive it.
This is why I said “do not even have every-few-days Internet access”. Without some kind of recurring connectivity, certificate renewals are impossible. (The client could, in theory, help, but that’s not a thing right now.)

Systems like this are all over. Almost every IoT device is an example. More seriously, networking hardware is in this category. You can’t make connectivity to networking hardware depend on a working network with Internet access to obtain certificates without introducing a circular dependency and the possibility of making it very hard to recover from downtime.

As a result, security of network control planes is often abysmal.
Except when windows behave like apps and you close a window and it closes the app. Or it’s a single window app but closing the window does not close the app. Or when you full screen a window and now everything is inconsistent. Or when you use Mission Control and now the switching paradigm is based on Windows and not Apps.
You know what else affects the brain in a negative way? Execution.
I think mainly the tooling is much better in React.

I can get by with "sort-of typescript" for Svelte, but it's a bit annoying that I can't get VS code to provide type hinting everywhere, and to also enforce "no-implicit-any". In smaller projects I'm probably not touching files I've completely forgotten all the time, so it's not too much of a problem

I can deal with the fact that the tailwind extension intellisense might not work in Svelte (or it didn't last time I tried it); for smaller Svelte projects I'm happier to use component-scoped styling 90% of the time. At that point I probably haven't typed the same combination of styles enough times that I want to share them across the project.

When the project grows, these become much more of a pain. I end up with lots of small to medium sized components, and I want to compose these along with mixins defined elsewhere (utility functions that can be pulled into them, etc). At that point I really want Typescript to be as strict as possible, and I want the Intellisense on tailwind partial class names. I'm sure there are plenty of other similar tooling issues that I'm forgetting right now.

React also has many more libraries, as you said, including the wonderful Tanstack query (I know there's a Svelte engine now, though I haven't tried it yet)

But the actual framework is so much easier in Svelte, enough so that I'd almost always choose it for smaller projects. React has its pain points even at medium scale, whereas with Svelte they really hit me harder as the project gets bigger. So it probably comes down to what I'm doing.

But yeah, I'm still going to reach for Svelte the majority of the time

From my understanding of TLS and how governments are able to block sites (IP, DNS, SNI) it shouldn't under normal circumstances be possible for them to block specific articles. Maybe if they somehow could control the Certificate Authority, they would be able to bypass TLS, but I don't think that qualifies as a 'normal circumstance.'

Sure, but let's make sure we can feed and house everyone, and most importantly that oppressed populations in the US are not backstabbed with the needs of new immigrants taking precedent. It is not ethical to ask African Americans and others to wait more generations for justice.
There already has been. The solution was to pump out physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) that require a fraction of the training of a doctor to get licensed, and then have them practice medicine under the “supervision” of a doctor.

Some states even went as far as giving people with no medical training the right to prescribe, such as naturopaths, whatever that means.

So it is up to each person now to figure out how qualified the person giving them healthcare is.

Also, doctors now have to contend with a handful of large payers. Their customers are mostly the federal/state government, or a handful of managed care organizations like UHC/Elevance/CVS/Cigna/Humana/etc.

I would say doctors’ golden years of having a favorable negotiating position are behind them.

Yes. And they still could have afforded 30 software engineers to work on ai/compute painpoints.

It’s not that medicine should be _easier_ or _as easy_ as engineering, it just needs to be easier than the status quo.

This is theoretically an easy change, since most complaints are about the unnecessary bureaucracy and not the pedagogy itself. Doesn’t matter how simple the solution is, it’s practically hard because the bureaucracy has so many incentives to make the process harder.

Central planning, in this context, is not the same as political philosophy. So be careful not to conflate the two.

Central planning does happen in free-market economies all the time, at various levels. An HOA for example is a hyper-local example of central planning. The larger the scale the stronger the lever, and hence the more variable the result.

The "free market" brings all kinds of its own oroblems of course - I'm not arguing for the elimination of planning - but long-range planning at national scales, is hard.

I'm a physician, pathologist specifically. But also did a surgical internship. My dad is an engineer, my undergrad is in Physics and I spent years on ships in engineering and weapons departments.

Yes, the room for error can be incredibly small. A surgeon might cut out a breast cancer that's 5 to 10 cm on a side. The margin, the distance between the cancer and the edge of the surgeon's incision, might be negative by 1 cell. The cancer might be 1 cell away from having been left in the patient's body. The room for error in medicine is in some ways disturbingly small, in others it is incredibly large. Factor of 10 errors are so common they are a standard outcome measure in trainee fatigue studies. Ask your SO about ACDF. Imagine driving screws essentially blindly, without tapped holes, a few millimeters away from a spinal nerve root, with an 8" torx driver. On 3 hours sleep, after standing on your feet for the last 7 hours. An engineer, hell, a carpenter, would have measured the system extensively, set up a jig, and spec'd the entire process, soup to nuts.

From that perspective the margins for error, in absolute terms can be, and often are, enormous. Which is what lets them run on 3 hours of sleep for months. In that setting, sleep-deprived, no exercise, terrible food, compounded by relentless moral injury, yes, it seems like the margins are miniscule. But a good cabinet maker, electrician, or pharmacist takes more care in many aspects of their work, in absolute terms.
Back when a Finnish radio channel got a website, they had an infuriating ad where they played Surfin' USA by the Beach Boys and invited everyone to come surf on their site, and read out their URL: aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash double-u double-u double-u...

I think what parent was referencing are the “tricks” required to get into med school. Applications are incredibly competitive, and students have every incentive to do anything they can to make the cut. Easier classes, begging for grades, leaning on connections, charity work (dependent on financial resources), etc. Leet code grinding, med school edition. Perfectly good potential doctors are passed over because they are missing X.

This is a great insight.

I write software for my own companies. And there was a time where I wanted to "level up" my software skills.

I invested time into architecture, TDD, hexagonal, DDD... in the name of "quality".

After some times I came to two insights:

1. Domain decoupling is immensely valuable. That was worth the investment.

2. "Quality" is defined differently by the developers vs by the customer. Customer quality (and therefore shipping improvements to them) is everything.

I do understand that larger projects require more robust structure and processes. But it's still possible to over do it.
I wanted to show that there is a charge associated with the increase in load (API operations), but you are right that the bandwidth is free.

I wanted to become a doctor. But I also wanted to study engineering. I didn’t want to do some relatively useless degree path like biology simply to fill all the required prerequisites for med school. And then I learned about all of this other stuff, like the MCAT, and how you essentially get abused during residency. I don’t think I’d be able to function on the sleep you’d get anyways.

It shouldn’t be easy to become a doctor, but man the bar right now is so high.
I’m not a fan of communism, but your worldview about it is also misinformed. People are allowed to change careers under communism: source I was born in USSR, my mother had many careers in the 70s and 80s.

I’d give you the inability to work for a private practice, that is true, but I am not entirely convinced it’s all that beneficial to society.

Lastly, Cuba can have some things better than the US, it doesn’t necessarily mean communism is a superior type of system. It just means that even a broken clock can show the right time
that's an interesting point, I think for those professions theres sufficient quantity of a baseline demand that they don't need to artificially create demand. However it's not unprecedented, there was a crazy story a friend shared with me like 2 years ago I think. Something from this François Bonivard, Geneva Chronicles in the 1500s that details this doctor trying to contaminate his town to secure future plague patients. I tried to find the primary source but all I could locate was this odd website that happened to hit some of the text my friend emailed me https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=11047763. The original French text is in the archive however https://archive.org/details/leschroniquesde00bonigoog

A more modern example I recently stumbled across maybe 2 weeks ago was this crime story of this wicked nurse working in the ICU who was thrashing patients on his floor with air embolisms. The reason, the guy wanted to prolong the patients stay to ensure more overtime hours https://youtu.be/dgWcplHgAjU?t=645. Absolutely unbelievable.

>Central planning on resources has been especially rife with failed examples (the USSR being the all-in poster child.)

This assertion is greatly exaggerated. It's certainly true that the centrally planned economy of the USSR didn't grow as quickly as peer countries with similar levels of economic development. The typical contrast is the much faster growth of Japan versus the Soviet Union in the late twentieth century. (Even the computer knows the story; my phone's predictive text got the countries right!)

But the Soviet Union nonetheless grew. Its growth rate was similar to that of the United States, but starting from a lower level (missing out on catch-up growth). It was the contradiction between the government's insistence that the planned economy would outperform the West versus the reality of the situation that led to a death spiral of political dysfunction and "alternative facts".

Even though the system was not efficient, it wasn't disastrous by itself, only suboptimal. It's a standard prediction of economic theory that lower risk tolerance comes at the cost of some expected return. But in the case of fields like education and medicine, we might have a lower risk tolerance and be willing to tolerate lower growth to achieve it.

In this case, the government stopped subsidizing medical schools. That would seem like what the libertarians want, but the outcomes were not good. Blaming central planning per se doesn't seem like the answer.
