What other exciting projects like these exist?
This time it really _is_ different, and we're looking at a world totally saturated with an abundance of bits. This will not be a simple restructuring of labor markets but something very significant and potentially quite severe.

You would aim to use CQL expressions inside of a PlanDefinition, in my estimate. This is exactly what AHRQ's, part of HHS, CDS Connect project aims to create / has created. They publish freely accessible computable decision support artifacts here: https://cds.ahrq.gov/cdsconnect/repository
When they are fully computable, they are FHIR PlanDefinitions (+ other resources like Questionnaire, etc) and CQL.
Here's an example of a fully executable Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test: https://cds.ahrq.gov/cdsconnect/artifact/alcohol-screening-u...
There's so much other infrastructure around the EHR here to understand (and take advantage of). I think there's a big opportunity in proving that multimodal LLM can reliably generate these artifacts from other sources. It's not the LLM actually being a decision support tool itself (though that may well be promising), but rather the ability to generate standardized CDS artifacts in a highly scalable, repeatable way.
Happy to talk to anyone about any of these ideas - I started exactly where OP was.

I wonder further if there is an intermediate solution in this space where chainstate was denormalized into sqlite. How much of the read-only JSON RPC could be implemented with a sqlite over http approach?
Would also be curious to read more about the technical details here. What the application architecture is, for example.

Have courage for principles in the face of an overwhelming preference cascade - they will serve you (and your spirit) better in the long run than retreating exactly when they matter.
We’re looking for people who want to show up to the future and we’re building a founding team for the future of health devtools. We have an open core "Plaid for health" product that you will help us build.
* Company formed at start of the year by ex-YC founder group of 3, raised $2M at the start of 2021 — cumulatively, we’ve raised nearly $30M in our careers so far
* You will be employee #2 and help us launch "Plaid for health"
* You will alter the trajectory of our R&D work with rapid prototype development
We want to work with people who are:
* Authentic and opinionated — with a story to tell
* Thinking about the future a lot these days
* An ex-founder or a future founder
* Deeply technical
Bonus: if you know what FHIR, HL7 V2, X12 are, tell us when you apply.
Our current stack includes: ES2020 JavaScript/TypeScript, Fastify, AJV, Next.JS, React, Tailwind
You can see some of our open source work publicly on GitHub and at docs.sero.run Apply by emailing founders@automatemedical.com
> There’s no global timeline — just archipelagos. It assumes that network heterogeny is the default, and is transmission layer agnostic. Breakages will occur. Maybe you’re living on a catamaran in the South Pacific and you only have connectivity once a month — SSB will work even then.
> Your own timeline is a sigchain — a sequenced list of signed messages. You replicate the content in your network (2 hops away). Bridges between communities can be built or burned. Many islands can exist without needing to erase the others from even existing — mutual separation is possible. Consensus is not necessary. #againstconsensus
> Is global network culture still possible? If it is, in the midst of the national internets we now live inside of, I suspect it will look something like this. A little different from what we were promised, but maybe a little better too.

> I signed-up for and graduated from Startup School. We applied for YC and were not accepted. I continued with Startup School for a second term. Applied again. Nothing. We likely applied about three times, if not four. I honestly don't remember. This included pivots. I wasn't trying to do the same thing and expect different results
If you've applied with the same company, and that company's trajectory hasn't changed between the applications then that's pretty valuable heuristic that it's likely not right for YC. YC's model requires power law style returns. Massive, mega, huge 1/500 hits. Your company could grow substantially. It could 10x - that's not enough. YC needs 10,000x returns and momentum/trajectory/team is really the only material information available to them.
Once you've been around for a while, all of sudden it's no longer unknown what your trajectory will be - you have one that you have to bend. And that's a super valuable heuristic for any investor. If the company really has hit an inflection point during the period you were applying, well that's YC's loss (of which there are many, and of course there will be many more).
Hopefully I'll get to keep working on projects that can make use of it because it feels like a polished 2021 version of Heroku era dev experience to me. Also, full disclosure, Kurt tried to get me to use it in YC W20 - but I didn't listen really until over a year later.
We build dev tools that make launching in digital health easy (https://docs.sero.run)
We're looking for our first full-time engineering hire. Our current team is 3 founders and 2 contractors. If you're new to the health care industry, you will need to voraciously learn. Most of the code you write will be open source and publicly licensed. We succeed when others do, so experience with open source is a plus. If you have experience with FHIR or other health standards, that's a mega plus.
