Hack the Planet

In a perpetual state of learning.

Initial thoughts on PDT being removed:

I'd describe the action so far with one word: Erratic

Almost feels like these newbie traders are trigger happy, hitting buy/sell buttons at random spots with minimal tools on their tiny phones or something. Result is a lot of tops and bottoms at more random spots and many reclaims on stocks that should be dead. We'll see as the day goes on if things stay like this.

Uruguay just became the best Plan B residency in South America.

Here's how it works: Get a hearing date, come to Uruguay with your documents, apply, wait 8-12 months for approval, then you're a permanent resident.

Until recently, applicants were typically expected to spend the entire 8-12 month processing period inside Uruguay. This was a dealbreaker for most.

But in the last 1-2 years, we're seeing people who apply correctly with all needed documents upfront get approved without spending any time in Uruguay during the processing period. This is the gamechanger.

You come to Uruguay for a few days for your hearing, apply, then you're free to leave. 8-12 months later, with a clean application & documents, you'll be approved. And no need to return.

In practice, it now works just like Paraguay. Show up, apply, leave.

On top of that, Uruguay's residency goes straight to permanent. There's no temporary residency in Uruguay, meaning no yearly renewal needed.

Once you're approved, it's a permanent Plan B, and you only need to enter Uruguay once every three years to keep it.

Uruguay was already a winning option:

- The financial Switzerland of South America with multi-currency international banking.
- An 11-year tax-free holiday on foreign income.
- Incredibly safe and family-friendly.
- Beautiful coastline & beaches.
- Cheaper than the US and Europe.

If you're looking for your Plan B or your Plan C, Uruguay probably just became your next best option.

Being approved counts on one thing: a correct and complete application on your hearing day. I've partnered with the firm in Uruguay best prepared to handle and process Plan B-focused applications, with minimal physical presence.

The first AI-designed hair loss drug on the market now has human data.

We measured what MINX, our 5 mg oral minoxidil lipid-matrix capsule, does in the bloodstream.

Most oral minoxidil hits your blood fast, peaks, then comes down.

That sharp spike is hypothesized to be part of what drives side effects.

But when MINX was taken after food, the release curve was still going up 8 hours later.

The highest measured level was only ~6 ng/mL, about 6x lower than published immediate-release 5 mg oral minoxidil data, with near-complete relative bioavailability.

For comparison, published standard 5 mg oral minoxidil data peaks around ~35 ng/mL in ~30 minutes.

This is not proof of better hair growth or fewer side effects.

But it is an early signal that MINX may behave very differently in the blood than immediate-release oral minoxidil.

The data was strong enough that we filed our 10th provisional patent yesterday.

Exxon’s Vice President warns: a dramatic oil price surge is just 2–3 weeks away. The energy shock - and the economic collapse it triggers - is accelerating much faster than most realize.

‼️🚨 Malicious actors can now use your SSD's activity, just by getting you to open their website, to spy on which other sites you're browsing and which apps you're running.

The attack, called FROST, is accurate: 88.95% on identifying websites, 95.83% on identifying applications. It works on macOS and Linux, across browsers, and runs entirely in JavaScript.

The browser makers were told, and largely shrugged. Chromium says fingerprinting isn't a security bug. Apple called it out of scope. Mozilla acknowledged it and shipped nothing.

Researchers at Graz University of Technology developed the attack. It abuses the Origin Private File System, a browser feature that lets sites store files on your disk without asking. The attack creates one huge file, then constantly times how fast it can read from it. When you open another tab or launch an app, that activity competes for the same SSD, and the tiny changes in read speed leak what you're doing. A trained neural network turns those timing patterns into guesses about which site or app it is.

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.

Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.

In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.

By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.

Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.

Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

.@ApolloAtomics builds the most compact nuclear reactors with the highest uptime and a deployment time of less than 24 months.

Apollo took the pressurized water reactor technology that already powers 80% of the world’s nuclear plants and flipped one part, the steam generator, to make the plant an order of magnitude smaller without compromising power.

Congrats on the launch, @AssilHalimi & Drew!

We just 3xed the rate limits across all tiers in Antigravity so that you can put 3.5 Flash through its paces even more, enjoy, and keep the feedback coming! :)

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.

There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!

I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

🚨 BREAKING: Socket is investigating an active npm supply chain attack compromising hundreds of packages in the @antv ecosystem.

The malicious publish wave appears tied to Mini Shai-Hulud and packages connected to the npm maintainer account atool.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Josef Prusa of Prusa Research has raised serious concerns about Bambu Lab’s Bambu Studio slicer software.

The program, a fork of the open-source PrusaSlicer, incorporates a closed-source networking plugin that Prusa describes as an unauditable “black box” downloaded from a CDN and capable of remote replacement.

Prusa says this is dangerous because Chinese laws require companies to help their intelligence agencies and share encryption keys, and slicers handle sensitive 3D design files used in research labs, universities, and defense work.

He also claims that Bambu Lab is breaking the open-source license rules by adding this closed part.
