Vibe-coding the MIT Course Catalogue

1. Go to the MIT Course Picker website
2. Copy this code into the console.

[...document.querySelectorAll(".course-name")]
.map((e) => e.closest(".course-lens"))
.map((d) => ({
  title: d.querySelector(".course-name")?.textContent,
  description: d.querySelector(".course-description")?.textContent,
  semester: d.querySelector(".course-semester")?.textContent,
  prereq: d.querySelector(`[data-ex-content=".prereqs"]`)?.textContent,
  instructor: d.querySelector(".course-instructor")?.textContent,
  units: d.querySelector(`[data-ex-content=".units"]`)?.textContent,
  level: d.querySelector(`[data-ex-content=".level"]`)?.textContent,
}));

You don’t need a complex scraper. Query selection will always get the job done.

Many people don’t know that the terms right wing and left wing refer to the sides of parliament during the French revolution. The right wing supported the monarchy. The core principle of conservatism is hierarchy. They believe some people are better than others. They fundamentally can’t believe in democracy and so always work to elevate a few over others. Kings, dictators, autocrats, theocrats, racists, fascists, all work on the same vertical thinking. A long as they aren’t at the bottom of the social hierarchy, they are happy and work to keep everyone else in their place. Women and minorities at the bottom, the wealthy and powerful at the top.

Your Doctor’s Screen Time Is Hobbling Health Care

I worked in health care tech for about 5 years. AI driven before it was cool. Took processes that normally took years down to a couple hours. Cutting edge stuff.

What struck me over the years was the open hostility we faced from the staff. The admins would buy our product, then have us come do trainings. The clinicians seemed to resent every second of it and would just never use the tool.

Towards the end of my tenure there, a PM said to me “the last thing these people want is to have to learn yet another workflow”. Which is when the penny dropped for me that our tool was just one of a bazillion being force fed to these poor people. They want to spend their time with patients not a screen.

Despite it being the most mission driven I have ever felt about a product (we were literally trying to help cure cancer lol). I’ll never work in health care again. Like education, it’s a quagmire.

Once you allow yourself to “see it” dentistry is not difficult. Divid it up in three groups, two are infection, decay and gum disease and the third is mechanical, i.e. the bite. Examine for decay, is it through the enamel, is it large, small, how would you have it fixed in your own mouth. Second infection is gum disease, is it gingivitis, periodontitis, ALWAYS start with a cleaning or SRP. Don’t make it so hard on yourself!!!

The important question you should be asking your 7-11 year old patients.  

The early detection of impacted canines is important to minimise future orthodontic treatment. For patients aged 7 to 11 years, all practitioners should assess the position of the unerupted permanent canines as part of the initial examination. If these teeth cannot be palpated buccally, apical to the deciduous canine, a screening OPG is recommended. The OPG can confirm the presence of these teeth as well as their position.  

The three key factors to assess regarding position are:

• The degree of overlap of the crown of the canine over the root of the lateral incisor

• The angulation of the canine in relation to a perpendicular line to the midline

• The vertical height from the occlusal plane.

In most cases, if the tooth is not palpable and is overlapping the lateral root and/or has a steep angulation, early removal of the deciduous canine can assist in normalising the eruption of the permanent canine. Space maintenance is not required for this in the upper arch. This approach also applies to the lower arch; however, space maintenance is required in the lower arch.

Ultimately, everybody in this conversation agreed that there was value in learning and mastering foundational knowledge. Foundational knowledge was not viewed as just a preliminary step, but viewed as a cornerstone of professional growth and development. However, how we defended this point varied.
