84 years ago today, the most important Japanese admiral in the Pacific sailed into a fog bank he could not see out of, carrying secret orders he believed were known to no one on earth.

The Americans had read them three weeks ago.

In May 1942, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto had a plan to end the war in the Pacific in 30 days. He would draw the surviving US Navy carriers into a trap near a tiny atoll called Midway, 1,300 miles northwest of Hawaii, and destroy them with the largest naval force ever assembled. 200 ships. 700 aircraft. 100,000 men. Four heavy carriers under Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo would lead the strike. The American fleet, which had only three serviceable carriers left after the Coral Sea, would be annihilated. Then Hawaii would fall. Then the US would sue for peace.

The plan was perfect.

It was also compromised.

In a basement in Pearl Harbor, a small team of cryptanalysts under Commander Joseph Rochefort had broken the Japanese naval cipher JN-25 in the spring of 1942. They were reading roughly 20 percent of every Japanese signal in real time, and educated guesswork filled in the rest. By mid-May they knew the target was somewhere referred to only as "AF." But where was AF?

Rochefort had a hunch. He sent a signal in the clear from Midway saying their water distillation plant had broken down. Two days later, Japanese intercepts mentioned that "AF" was running short of fresh water. Bingo.

By May 27 Admiral Chester Nimitz knew the date of the Japanese attack, the composition of the Japanese force, the route Nagumo would take, and roughly the time he would launch his first strike. He pulled every American carrier to a point northeast of Midway called "Point Luck" and waited. The trap had been set for him. He set a trap inside the trap.

On June 2, Nagumo's four carriers approached Midway through the worst fog any of them had ever seen. Visibility dropped below 600 yards. His ships could barely see each other. He held radio silence to protect his approach. He believed he had complete surprise. He believed the American carriers were thousands of miles away in the South Pacific. He believed he was about to win the war.

Yamamoto, on the battleship Yamato 600 miles behind him, had intelligence that the American carriers might in fact be at sea. He chose not to break radio silence to warn Nagumo. He assumed Nagumo had the same intelligence. Nagumo did not.

At 4:30 AM on June 4, Nagumo launched 108 aircraft against Midway from a position the Americans had been waiting for him to reach.

By sunset, three of his four carriers were burning hulks. The fourth would sink the next morning. Japan lost 3,057 men, 248 aircraft, and the four best carriers of the Pacific War in a single day. Japanese naval aviation never recovered. The war was decided in six minutes between 10:22 and 10:28 AM on June 4.

The whole disaster traced back to one decision on June 2: a Japanese admiral sailing into fog, trusting that nobody knew where he was going.

Nvidia will now pay you to put a mini AI data center on your house

It looks like a normal AC unit in the yard.

But inside sits 16 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and Dell servers.

A startup called Span builds them, backed by Nvidia.

They bolt onto your home and you get paid for the power and Wi-Fi.

Some estimates put that around $1,000 a month in your pocket.

That is rent money just for hosting a box outside.

Span says it deploys way faster and cheaper than a real data center.

The AI boom is literally moving into the suburbs.

Save this, the grid is getting rebuilt in real time.

Want to know what it sounded like during the launch of Flight 12 of Starship today?

Check out this video and the shaking of the windows. This was during my livestream with @esherifftv (Ellie in Space) at a ouse about 5 miles from the launch site.

Definitely have the volume up! Truly a powerful rocket ... the most powerful ever!

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin."
Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache."
Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10."
Patient: "And I'm tired all the time."
Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil."
Patient: "My memory is foggy."
Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help."
Patient: "I have a cough now."
Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB."
Patient: "I'm not sleeping."
Doctor: "Zopiclone."
Patient: "Heard that's addictive."
Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes."
Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up."
Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin."
Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin."
Doctor: "Loperamide."
Patient: "I've gained weight."
Doctor: "Ozempic."
Patient: "I feel nauseous."
Doctor: "Ondansetron."
Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications."
Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline."
Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?"
Doctor: "Absolutely not."

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is exiting OPEC effective May 1, 2026 ending almost 60 years of membership so they won't have limits on their oil production any longer.

We're about to see gas prices plummet!!

I'm pretty sure OPEC will cease to exist soon.

I teach medical students that pancreatic cancer is a death sentence because we catch it too late. That may be about to change.

NIH-funded researchers just developed a 4-marker blood test that detects pancreatic cancer with 91.9% accuracy across ALL stages -- and 87.5% for early-stage disease, when treatment actually works.

The breakthrough: two newly discovered proteins (ANPEP and PIGR) combined with existing markers CA19-9 and THBS2. The old test alone caught only 76% of early cases. This panel catches nearly 88%.

Why this matters: pancreatic cancer has a 5-year survival rate under 12%. The single biggest reason? By the time symptoms appear, it has already spread. A simple blood draw could change everything.

As I wrote in "Lies I Taught in Medical School," we have spent decades treating late-stage disease instead of catching metabolic dysfunction early. This is what early detection actually looks like.

Full breakdown coming on the Health Longevity Secrets podcast.
