i’ve been dying to see this eval and @sarahmsachs just tweeted it out!
Sarah Sachs@sarahmsachs
When we evaluated agentic web search providers, it was clear that the best solution wasn't just the fastest, or the cheapest. It's a balance of token use, total trajectory latency, and net new information that language models don't already know. Congrats to @p0 on a solid product and some awesome technology.

Customer obsession can start before you write a single line of code.
Let me explain.
When you keep hearing the same problems over and over again, you can’t help but start to develop empathy and compassion for your future customers. That empathy can quickly turn into customer obsession.
For Nira this happened soon after the IT teams we spoke with all kept telling us the same things.
"We need something that doesn't just monitor our systems, but actually helps us fix problems."
"We need something that deeply integrates with our existing tools and doesn't just sit on top of them."
"We need a tool that provides real value and isn't just another chore to manage."
“We want a tool that doesn't require a PhD to use."
IT managers, directors, and even CIOs would share these sentiments with us multiple times per week.
The tools that existed for IT, they told us, were woefully inadequate. And they wanted us to make something that solved their problems, but that was ten times better than the rest of the tools that were out there.
They wanted a platform that was intuitive, easy to use. And frankly, actually worked as they expected.
We set out to build a product that would address these pain points better than any tool available in the market. We didn't want to create yet another administrative tool for IT to wrangle. The goal was to build a platform that was truly innovative and deep in its capabilities.
To do this, we talked to as many IT professionals as we could to understand why products in the market failed and succeeded. We heard story after story of how difficult it was to accomplish even simple tasks in other tools.
Then we went further. Our research included analyzing job descriptions of IT roles to make sure we understood what each role (i.e. Senior Manager, CIO) was responsible for and how it related to our product. We also dug for insights within reviews of both small and large cybersecurity products. What we learned consistently backed up what we had originally heard from IT teams.
These insights were all poured into hundreds of pages in Google Docs and Sheets. It was the foundational work that informed what Nira has become. Reviewing it regularly has helped clarify our roadmap time and time again.
Today, customers tell us that Nira is intuitive, powerful, and truly different from anything else that is out there.
Customer obsession before writing a single line of code is how we got here.
That leads me to a question for you. We’re all users of so many different physical and digital products. From our favorite note taking app or device, to our cars or the software we use at work to make our lives easier. So here’s something to ponder.
When was the last time you felt like a product you used was built out of customer obsession? How did it make you feel?

Starcloud CEO @PhilipJohnston joins @itsmoislam and I at the NYSE. "In order to make data centers in space work, you really need the BOM costs for a 200 kW satellite to be on the order of 1 million dollars." We chat: - Building low cost sats - 20 yr terrestrial vs. 5 yr space - Merge with a launch company? - Does Starcloud exist if Earth's bottlenecks vanish? - Better leader: Altman or Dario - Building sats cheaper than Starlink - GPU failure rate

I had the pleasure to sit down with @MartinShkreli A truly formidable young man We didn’t talk about pharma We talked about cookie banners (& his favorite rules in prison) Also spoke about his new venture: Godel He agreed to let me invest €100 (pending regulatory approval)

yet another unfortunate event. hope the funds can be recovered for the users.
but I warned: never leave security in the hands of developers. build strong defaults, and let them code functionality only. very few can or want to configure security parameters. unfortunately, decade old lessons from security field that were overshadowed by narratives.

The KelpDAO exploit (~$290M, is NOT a LayerZero protocol bug. It's a configuration issue and a case study every project with a cross-chain token needs to look at today. KelpDAO shipped their rsETH OFT with a 1/1 DVN security stack. One required verifier. Zero optional. Threshold 0. Straight from LayerZero Scan's ReceiverOAppConfig on the rsETH bridge pathway: • requiredDVNCount: 1 • requiredDVNNames: [LayerZero Labs] • optionalDVNCount: 0 • optionalDVNThreshold: 0 Source and Destination OApp both labeled "Kelp DAO." Destination is the rsETH OFT Adapter on Ethereum: 0x85d456B2DfF1fd8245387C0BfB64Dfb700e98Ef3. How the attack worked: the forged message's source packet was never actually emitted on the source chain (Unichain). The single required DVN signed an attestation for something that didn't exist and because it was the ONLY required DVN, there was no independent verifier to contradict it. Everything downstream then executed exactly as designed: commitVerification → lzReceive → peer check → OFT decode → rsETH mint. The contracts weren't broken. The verification layer was. One signature and 116,500 rsETH materialized out of thin air on Ethereum. To be clear: LayerZero V2 is modular by design. Apps pick their own security stack X-of-Y-of-N, multiple independent DVNs, thresholds, block confirmations. No one is forced into any configuration. The protocol gave projects the full toolkit. KelpDAO chose 1/1. Even reputable DVNs can have a bad day key compromise, infra failure, bad actor, whatever. That's exactly why you want multiple independent verifiers. Redundancy is the whole point. A 1/1 DVN is the cross-chain equivalent of a 1-of-1 multisig on a treasury. Baseline for any OFT/OApp with serious TVL: • Multiple required DVNs (3–4+) • Independent providers (don't stack correlated risk) use canary DVN as it’s also its own independent client. • Optional DVNs + threshold on top • Sane block confirmations If you're a founder or dev with an OFT live in production, pull your Send/Receive ULN config today. Call getConfig() on the endpoint. If requiredDVNCount is 1 and optionalDVNCount is 0, reconfigure before the market does it for you. Anyone can verify any OApp's config on layerzeroscan.com right now. Security is the application's responsibility. LayerZero hands every project a powerful, modular security stack it's on the project to actually use it. Kelp's full RCA is still coming, but the root enabler is already onchain and visible to anyone who looks. Check your configs. Stay safe out there.

If you want to stand out, just do the old fashioned things well: - Be on time - Be well read - Practice good posture - Look people in the eye - Do what you say you'll do - Have a confident handshake Few live up to this standard. It will never go out of style.

Grail Acquired: 1996 Pokémon Japanese Bandai Vending Green Prism Charizard #6 PSA 9
The first true Charizard. Pre 1999 Base set first edition. Only released in Japanese vending machines.
Overpaid at the absolute top of the TCG market, but I really believe the Bandai collection is insanely underpriced and just not well known yet. Will hopefully hold for another decade.
A PSA 10 just sold for $27,000.
*A few good deals are still left on Fanatics but make sure you get GREEN.

Heute war glaube ich der bisher schwerste Tag der schwarz-roten Koalition.
Flächendeckend setzt die Erkenntnis ein, dass die schlechten Kompromisse nur der Koalition und ihrem Erhalt dienen, nicht aber unserer Volkswirtschaft und unserer Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.
Panik macht sich breit bei CDU/CSU und SPD.
Erkenntnis und Ernüchterung setzen ein bei allen Beobachtern.
Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn es jetzt noch dynamischer wird und der Druck durch die Medien gewaltig(er) wird. Dieser GKV Blödsinn und dieser Möchtegern-Haushalt sind inhaltliche Sprengfallen.
Ich bleibe bei meiner Aussage aus dem Dezember: Diese Koalition schafft 2026 nicht - leider.
Die einzige Chance wären historische Reformen um wieder auf Wachstumskurs zu kommen. Aber die Hoffnung schwindet minütlich.

So you’re saying the state can take houses when people die because that’s the majority of empty homes in those figures.
Action on Empty Homes @emptyhomes@emptyhomes
'How can it be that wherever you look, you find empty homes and buildings? Why is there no national drive to harness their potential? Incredibly, there is no obligation for Government or local authorities to step in.. @emptyhomes estimate the number is closer to 1.5 million'

Yesterday, someone described a Humba founder as "crazy, in the best possible way."
Honestly, that's an incredibly accurate distillation of our investing strategy. 🦍💪
