Research team digitizes more than 100 years of Canadian infectious disease data
🔸David Earn, a McMaster University professor, uncovered 50 years of Canadian infectious disease reports from 1939-1989, leading to a massive research project and a new database called CANDID. The database contains over a million disease incidence counts dating back to 1903, allowing researchers to study past outbreaks and prepare for future ones.

🔸What do you think is gonna happen after I press tab when looking at this screenshot? That’s right, its gonna do nothing and suggest something else that it wasn’t any of the 2 initial suggestions Whoever team or person is on charge of the behavior of vscode autocomplete behavior at Microsoft (or at least the C# Dev Kit plugin) please do your job and fix this, thank you.

Using Vectorize to build an unreasonably good search engine in 160 lines of code
🔸Search has become easier to build with AI, thanks to vector databases that index documents as embeddings and store them in a vector database. This allows for semantic search and can be used for more than just search, such as in AI chatbots and copilot-like experiences.

Coding Intelligence Asymptotics
🔸If coding can be cheaply automated, software development will be limited by compilation time and codebase length will increase exponentially. This will enable more ambitious specs and allow for code with guarantees that would be impossible for human teams to achieve.

The Fisher-Yates shuffle is backward
🔸The Fisher-Yates shuffle is a standard algorithm for pseudo-randomly permuting elements in a list, but a simpler "forward" version exists that achieves the same uniform distribution. This "forward" version, also known as the "inside-out" Fisher-Yates shuffle, applies the same set of random transpositions in reverse order, resulting in a uniformly distributed permutation.
