The U.S. Residency bottleneck is breaking! 🔨📈

The push to allow experienced foreign-trained doctors to practice without a U.S. residency is gaining massive momentum. We just saw four states pass sweeping legislation in early 2026!

Kentucky (Passed April 10, 2026)

West Virginia (Effective June 7, 2026)

If you meet the standard licensure criteria and hold international experience, these states are opening their doors.

Swipe through the slides for the specific bill status and requirements for each state! 👉 Which state do you think will be the next to pass this type of law? 🌎👇

Hospitals push clinicians off Signal, iMessage, and WhatsApp and onto "HIPAA-compliant" messaging apps. The security logic is backwards.

Signal and its kin are end to end encrypted. The company running them cannot read your messages. The protocols are public and audited by academic cryptographers.

The healthcare-specific platforms usually encrypt in transit and at rest with the vendor holding the keys. The vendor can read everything. The compliance value comes from a signed contract and an audit log, not from stronger cryptography.

The rule HIPAA actually enforces is not "use the most secure tool." It is "use a vendor who signed a BAA." Those are different things, and the second is often the weaker one.

Tips from a Program Director: How to Use Program Signals Wisely 👍

Program signals are becoming one of the most important parts of the residency application strategy.

A Program Director recently shared new research showing that signals do more than help you get an interview. They may also increase the chances that a program ranks you.

But the message is not:
“Signal every competitive program you like.”

The real message is:
Signal the programs where your application makes sense.

A strong signal should reinforce your story.

It should match your:

Geographic connection
Clinical experience
Personal statement
Letters of recommendation
Career goals
Reason for choosing that program

For IMG applicants, this is especially important. Signals can help, but they are not magic. A signal alone will not fix an application that does not show fit.

A good signal tells a Program Director:

“I understand your program.”
“I can see myself training there.”
“My background fits your mission.”
“My goals align with what you offer.”

A weak signal tells them:

“I am just trying to improve my odds.”

One of the biggest mistakes applicants make is using signals only on reach programs. Another mistake is sending signals to programs where there is no clear connection between the applicant and the program.

For the 2027 Match cycle, think of your signals as part of your narrative.

Your signal, personal statement, letters, geography, and experiences should all point in the same direction.

The best signal is not the one sent to the most famous program.
The best signal is the one that makes the most sense.

Choose intentionally.

BOOM!!! Fable 5 availability extended through July 12th

If you haven't used your entire allotment yet, you need to start immediately

It's simply the greatest technology ever made

Some ways I'd recommend using it:

1. Build a software factory loop. Give ideas then have Fable autonomously spec, build, and review itself

2. Run security checks across all of your API endpoints

3. Optimize slop code written by any other models

4. Review every operating system you have. Every responsibility you have, run it through Fable. See how you can automate more

5. Build a personal mission control. Anytime you use software built by other people you pay for, rebuild it with Fable and put it in your mission control

6. Find business opportunities online. Based on what Fable knows about you, have it find software building opportunities online that you are uniquely positioned to solve

7. Build a home AI lab. Have Fable review all your hardware then figure out which local models you can run and which tasks they should be doing

8. Automate all your daily tasks. Write down every task you do today. Put every single task into Fable. Ask what it can automate for you

What will you be building with Fable the next week?

Microsoft has confirmed a Windows 11 bug that can make a single file grow to 500GB or more, consuming a huge amount of storage.

The file is called CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal. It’s normally only a few MB, but due to the bug it can grow to hundreds of GB on some PCs.

If your storage suddenly looks much lower than expected, search for CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal in File Explorer to see if you’re affected.

Microsoft says the issue has been fixed in the optional KB5095093 update, and the fix will also be rolled out to everyone in the next Windows 11 Patch Tuesday update.

I got rejected by 30–40 medical schools.

Two weeks later, my entire life changed.

One of the greatest lessons my wife and I have learned over nearly 20 years of marriage is this:

Don’t run away from hard. Run toward it.

Every backend engineer eventually meets these bugs:

Race conditions
Memory leaks
Deadlocks
N+1 queries
Cache invalidation
Time zone bugs
Floating-point errors
Retry storms

Some meet them in tutorials.

Everyone else meets them on Friday evening.

Jacinta is an idiot shame!
1. In this interview she shows that her fight is against black foreigners irrespective of their status whether illegal or legal

2. She exposes herself that beyond the immigration she is totally clueless on how to take the country foward.

3. No one asked her about EFF, Yet she brings in EFF into the conversation

What an idiot??

You will still see people writing plab despite UK prioritization.

People will still complete their USMLE steps despite Trump ban on immigration

People will still enter residency despite the toxicity and poor pay.

Don't think they are stupid, they are simply creating options.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

✅Found a wild token hack that only works properly on Fable 5.

Claude charges image tokens by pixel size, not by how much text is in the image.

So someone built a proxy that renders your context into PNGs before sending it to the API.

Before: 92,000 tokens for a dense tool result
After: 4,761 tokens for the same content as a PNG

End-to-end bill savings: 59-70%.

SWE-bench tasks: same completion rate, half the cost.

A PostgreSQL database can scan millions of rows in milliseconds.

An Excel file with 100,000 rows freezes your laptop.

Why is that?
