I never expected to see MITRE on the front page of HN! We're actively adding more synthetic data sources to Synthea all the time.

  Doesn't MITRE maintain the CVE database?

    Yes, MITRE is a non-profit organization that works with a number of US government agencies to cover a pretty large swath of areas: https://www.mitre.org/focus-areas https://www.mitre.org/focus-areas

  Love Synthea, it's an amazing project and you should be very proud of it. My only gripe is how clean the data is compared to what many other EHR providers actually generate, but that's more on them than you guys.

    It would be perhaps interesting to add a layer capable of injecting reasonable noise on top of these clean records.

      I was thinking about earlier this month actually! I generate a lot of synthetic flight data, and we have to reproduce the noisiness of real data as well.
