Doctors and public health advocates were once able to imagine the end of the HIV epidemic in our lifetime. The last four decades of scientific advancements had delivered new treatments and preventive medications that significantly curbed the rates of transmission and impacts of the once deadly virus. The number of new infections has dropped from more than 130,000 in the mid- 1980s to 37,000 by 2022 — and mortality rates have steadily dropped.

Millions in federal funding — supported by Democratic and Republican leadership alike ― had helped buoy a swath of programs and research into new injectable drugs for HIV prevention and treatment, which are long-lasting and less burdensome than daily medication, and can be used to address HIV disparities across race, gender and sexual orientation both in the United States and internationally.

...

But in March, that glimmer of hope began to fade as the Trump administration decimated the nation’s HIV prevention programs as part of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s drastic overhaul of the Department of Health and Human Services agency.

I've been running Home Assistant for three years. It's port forwarded on default port 8123 via a reverse proxy in a dedicated VM serving it over HTTPS and is accessible over ipv4 and ipv6. All user accounts have MFA enabled.

I see a notification every time there's a failed login attempt, but every single one is either me or someone in my house. I've never seen a notification for any other attempts from the internet. Not a single one.

Is this normal? Or am I missing something? I expected it to be hammered with random failed logins.

Trump Science Advisor Michael Kratsios, gave a speech at Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14. The event was co-hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations, UT Austin, Texas A&M, Rice University, and Baylor University.

In what seems a poor attempt at a Steve Jobs-like imitation, Kratsios seemed to use a figure of speech (I hope/pray?) to grab audience attention:

"Stagnation was a choice. We have weighed down our builders and innovators. The well-intentioned regulatory regime of the 1970s became an ever-tightening ratchet, first hampering America’s ability to become a net-energy exporter and then making it harder and harder to build. We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along.

But we are capable of so much more.

Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.

As Vice President Vance said in a recent speech, the tradition of American innovation has been one of increasing the capacities of America’s workers, of extending human ability so that more people can do more, and, more meaningful work. But unrestricted immigration, and reliance on cheap labor both domestically and offshore, has been a substitute for improving productivity with technology."

Kratsios' comments on time and space manipulation, led to some reports that the U.S. was officially admitting to having the capability.

The president of the European Center for Information Policy and Security warned that the U.S. and Russia's ability to bend time and space, is a threat to Europe's future..

Given Kratsios' boss has been known to make outrageous but vague threats that are often dismissed as jokes, only to be brought up again later as legitimate possibilities, it is unsurprising that some might take Kratsios' words literally and express concern.

Trump has asked Peter Theil's protege to blaze a trail for science and tech supremacy, and Kratsios has made statements comparing Trump's plan for a "Golden Age of American Innovation," to FDR giving his own science advisor a mandate to chart a course for U.S. research and development.

During Trump's first administration, Kratsios served as Chief Technology Officer and was tasked with using cutting edge technology to tackle COVID misinformation and track early cases of the virus in the U.S..

A 2019 interview with Kratsios indicates he also opposed the regulation of controversial facial recognition technology.

The current Trump administration raised eyebrows when the U.S. and U.K both refused to join allies signing an international A.I. agreement.

Similar to Kratsios' view on facial recognition technology, Vice President JD Vance indicated the refusal was due to concerns over strict regulations, stating it could "kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off". Vance vowed that the U.S. would not squander an opportunity to grow AI policies over safety concerns.

Who knows what exciting things await us in the upcoming Golden Age of American Innovation?
