This is wonderful but I feel bad for all the people who doesnt have the resources to go through the same. For 99.9% of the population, a diagnostic like his means a really different outcome. I know he is trying to fix this with his investments and companies, but sharing this story could be seen as "boasting"... "I went through this and I survived, while your loved ones wouldn't"

While that is just a natural reaction to "unfair" world where not everyone gets the same level of access to the best level of care, I'd also say that it's a reminder that money can't and won't solve all problems people are hit with in their lifetimes (or he'd not be facing cancer diagnosis in the first place).

This story is of someone with resources putting them to good use to save themselves, but also have that benefit others: medical research is expensive and for good reason restricted, and just like lots of open source was driven by individual's need, so lots of good stuff can come out of this. I suggest to see it that way.

The novel part of his post is the summary of what worked. That information you cannot get except from him. You need his experience.

But this extra text you want can be obtained from LLM so if you require this “decoration” on top of information why not simply write yourself Chrome extension that reads page and adds that text to it at the bottom?

This will help you not feel bad.

I agree. It would've been so easy to address that too. Just acknowledge it and be vocal about supporting policies that make it better for others.

Oh c'mon. Here's what Sid's done to help others in the process

* Started 10 companies to enable access to others * Detailed policy proposals to make this easier process for others * Open sourced the entire process and all of the associated data (25TB)

and probably other things I missed.

But nah, what would reaaally help is an acknowledgement.
