My co-founder @drRohanR has been in conversation with so many visionaries about the state of health care: Dr. Fauci, Mark Cuban, Bobby Mukkamala, Chelsea Clinton, and others. The podcast and the blog is appropriately called Good Medicine: https://t.co/29FMit1dH2

Grateful to be featured as App of the Day on the App Store.

We’re also hiring a Lead iOS Engineer to help shape what’s next. If that’s you (or someone you admire), we’d love to connect.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

@fareesh @tszzl underrated tweet ^

[Arun Ranganathan @arun]

@tszzl Unless you turn to literature from the '50's, which includes S. Radakrishnan's "The Principal Upanishads" or his "Indian Philosophy" which are brain hurty but instructive.

@nearcyan @512x512 +1 to the above. Basically something like "Summarize the discussion on X about [...]" would be really interesting.

I'm saying "scrap it totally" is extreme. And I'm obviously saying service over hate.

[Arun Ranganathan @arun]

In what I think is just about the strangest time to return to main, folks like @elonmusk have defended the H1B, *and* some racists appear to be bugging out. Some years ago, I had a proposal about the H1B visa, which is also the program that got me here.

It's true that it fosters a type of professional immigration that corporations use (and possibly abuse), but it's also true that, aside from standard taxes that visa holders may pay, there could be more done to "pay it forward" to local communities. One would be volunteering in the education system, particularly in STEM-like fields. This has drawbacks, of course, but I'm a big believer in civic service. Could there be an element of service in local schools (pre-college, even community college) that's bound to H1Bs?

Another is a special city or state tax on H1B holders that is earmarked for education and training in local communities. I'm spit balling, of course, but I'm suggesting there's creative ways to reform something that's potentially beneficial. Creating companies is another way to pay it forward.

Sharing an exciting new resource that I helped build, Roon (https://t.co/HPtEL9nvaA), a free platform helping people navigate dementia through thousands of short-form Q&A videos from 60+ dementia experts, caregivers, and more. Look, share, and let me know what you think!

@balajis @eshear @DanielleFong I agree that OpEd/press cycles are fickle, but the initial TPP showcased at least one sort of defensive maneuver at that time: https://t.co/lwCZ2COmbC

Congrats @hansonwng and Ethan! What a useful use of LLMs.

[South Park Commons @southpkcommons]

The GRAND PRIZE winner was AI in Spreadsheets, by @hansonwng and Ethan Carlson. Imagine being able to clean data like a human would, unbound by the rigid logic of spreadsheets. Now watch it actually happen. It's impressive.

When Vikram Bhaskaran's father was diagnosed with a rare disease, he saw how patients need support outside of the doctor’s office–and that web searches and social media can be generic at best, and inaccurate at worst, inspiring him to start @rooncare with @arun and @drRohanR

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

[Arun Ranganathan @arun]

@Connor amazing.

[Arun Ranganathan @arun]

@ShriramKMurthi Functional argument is right, but there was (once) an operation function too (not just callback): https://t.co/ozoluSw5WR
