Big news: @SuperstateInc and @InvescoUS are working together to build the future of tokenized funds.
Our original fund $USTB will soon become Invesco USTB, the first product by an established asset manager running on the Superstate tokenization platform 📈

The worst thing about NYC women: they need your money more than you
Comparing to SF where girls aren’t as hot but at least they don’t see you as a wallet
SF girls just know how to make money themselves and therefore prioritize other things like connection
NYC is so expensive and competitive that it’s just hard for a girl to survive
You can definitely find a wife in NY but most likely she will be very expensive

@bsansouci "be a good junior developer" you must know GOATed junior devs. I'd say Opus 4.6 is better than most senior devs at this point
English

I think we've solved two main things
1) hallucinations: the models are far more grounded in the truth they see in the code. They do make things up, make plenty of mistakes, and straight up lie, but they are far far better than 2 years ago.
2) using unix cli tools (especially grep) instead of RAG: turns out unix philosophy of `text in -> text out` works incredibly well with LLM, so simply teaching the LLMs to use the tools has given them the ability to be a good junior developer
I don't see yet a sign that models are able to be better than the average of their training data, which means very mid. For anyone who has higher ambitions than being mid, you still have to spend time designing and architecting, and the model will follow your lead.

FWIW, for the actual "feeling the AGI" productivity boost, #4 (agentic systems) felt like the biggest leap, and it wasn't close. I was a heavy user since 2022, but the paradigm shift for work happened with agents. This is why I think we'll start seeing AI show up in productivity data soon: the real inflection for work isn't 2022 or 2024, it's summer of 2025.

@ARmastrangelo let the italian-american boomers have their scraps of remaining culture
English

One of my pet peeves is when Americans with Italian ancestry try to correct someone by telling them that "sauce" is actually called "gravy."
Italian immigrants said "gravy" in the late 1800's because they thought it translated to sauce. But in Italian, there’s actually no word for "gravy." The closest translation is "sugo di carne" which means meat sauce.
Calling it "gravy" not only reveals one’s disconnect from the Italian language, but also that their ancestors immigrated to the U.S. more than a century ago. So to Italian immigrants and those whose families immigrated to the U.S. after WWII, it’s cringe. Because calling sauce "gravy" is a very American thing (which is fine), but it’s an American thing that is specifically used to try to come off like it’s Italian. And that gives us second-hand embarrassment.
Oh, and calamari is an Italian word. Calling it "galamad" is like calling capocollo "gabagool." Also cringe!

@delitzer @RWA_xyz @Securitize @OndoFinance @tether @maplefinance @Paxos @SuperstateInc @circle @centrifuge @stokr_io @libeara_ Things are going to get really interesting when RWAs actually plug into defi as collateral etc.
Morpho today only allows a few RWAs as collateral. It s interesting when I can earn yield on my gold…

Really incredible seeing not just the growth of the RWA market, but also how balanced that growth has been across so many players

@howdymerry odds we have a token that isnt just our equity tokenized is basically 0
English

crypto is worth paying attention to, but many of the companies that are immensely valuable (zerohash, crossmint, superstate, sphere etc) either will never have a token or will take a much more cautious approach to releasing a equity-like token
bitcoin is worth watching but we are currently undergoing a once in a century capital rotation in commodities and companies that represent ownership to components of ai infrastructure
altcoin crypto is not worth watching because it is currently deeply structurally broken
memecoin crypto is sad to watch because it’s just sharks eating minnows
satsdart@satsdart
something i dont understand is crypto people that made loads of money by being interested when things were bad (covid, ftx crash etc) now tweeting about crypto not being worth it anymore now that other markets are outperforming us, if anything im trying to pay more attention now
