I’m sorry, but when someone posts about a medical miracle here on HN — sure, I spend 2 seconds appreciating it — and then my mind immediately jumps to the fact that the very system that directly and indirectly made it possible is being dismantled as I type. This topic doesn’t get nearly enough ink here on HN, IMHO — and the wreckage isn’t even over yet. Just like how the full effect of tariffs took time to hit, the systematic destruction of research and science in the US hasn’t fully been felt, here or abroad. The gaps we’re creating are insane — and no amount of LLM hype or VC funding is going to cover them.
