Inexplicably excited by ideas. Product, tech, business, speculation. Life is too short not to have fun doing it.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Incredible. Going to be serious 🍿 time when $SPCX comes to market. Where does all the money come from to fill a trillion-dollar IPO?

[James Seyffart @JSeyff]

How big is the ecosystem of ETFs around @SpaceX going to be? There are already at least 21 ETPs filed by 12 different issuers. Insane for a company that hasn't even IPO'd yet. $SPCX

A 7-year-old boy gets on a train in Tokyo. Alone.

No mother. No phone. No adult watching him at all.

He bows to the driver, finds his seat, and folds his hands in his lap.

He is going to school. By himself. Across a city of 14 million strangers.

And not one person on that train thinks anything is wrong.

A businessman glances up, then goes back to his paper.

An old woman smiles at the boy and looks away.

Nobody films him. Nobody calls anyone. Nobody is afraid.

Because in Japan, a small child alone is not a victim waiting to happen.

He is just a kid going to school. Like every kid before him.

I grew up being told the opposite. Lock the door. Watch your back. Trust no one.

Never let them out of your sight, not for one second, or the world will take them.

And somewhere along the way, I started to believe that was simply the truth.

Then I watched a 7-year-old ride home alone through a city of millions.

And step off at his stop. And walk the rest of the way. Safe.

We had this once, too.

A street that watched your kids. A town that brought them home.

Japan didn't find some secret. They just never stopped being decent to each other.

Quietly. Every single day. While the rest of us forgot we ever could.

That little boy will get home tonight.

He always does.

We are not evolved for space. We have a lot of work to do to make long duration a reality.

Three researchers used Anthropic's Mythos to build a working macOS kernel exploit that bypasses Apple's M5 Memory Integrity Enforcement, a security system Apple spent five years and billions of dollars building.

Bug found April 25. Working exploit May 1. Walked into Apple Park to deliver the report in person.

MIE was the flagship security feature of the M5 and A19, designed to kill the entire memory corruption bug class. According to Apple's own research, it disrupted every known public exploit chain against modern iOS.

Calif didn't break MIE. They walked around it. Data-only attack, no pointer manipulation, standard syscalls from an unprivileged user to root.

The 55-page technical report drops after Apple patches.
This is the story of the year in cybersecurity.
