@NickTaranto @HopWtr Congrats!

Just sold @HopWtr. Here's what building it actually taught me: Great product ≠ great company. Distribution wins. Customers will humble you fast. Good. Ego is the liability. Think about your acquirer earlier than feels comfortable. Gross margin, gross margin, gross margin. Taking all of it into my next venture. Different category, leveled-up learning.

@JeanAbillama People like you are the last best chance. ❤️

@aenbar Thank you 🙏🏻

@DKrecruit @Google @GeminiApp @ThePrincetonRev Whoa that’s amazing. I can’t believe you have a 16 year old!!!

@aenbar @Google @GeminiApp @ThePrincetonRev What's Adam! Love finding out what you're up to in this thread as I jump up and down sending this to my 16 year old LOL. Still recruiting Flatiron grads btw, they are always impressive ❤️

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost. Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more. To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

@heykojo Great example:

The best math instructors and textbooks explain things in plain language first, then introduce symbols. Symbols are compact but not beginner-friendly. A lot of "I hate math" comments are really "I hate looking at unwieldy symbols". A shame.

@brucebolton Maybe some- but not that many and not that fast.

@aenbar Not sure if this bait. But your take makes no sense. We don't know these students pay sticker price. Columbia could easily just fill the spots with transfer students.

@nickgraynews Yoink! apps.apple.com/us/app/yoink-b…

I got a new MacBook and I installed these 10 apps first: 1. Brave, my favorite web browser built on Chrome by natively blocks ads and trackers 2. 1Password, if you don't use a password manager I feel bad for you 3. WhatsApp, for group chats 4. Wispr Flow, best voice to text input - I use it for emails and prompts and some texting 5. Logi Options+, I like to map one of my mouse buttons (the Forward one usually) to close a tab - so the side buttons are Back and Close Tab - hate that I need a full app for this tho 6. Raycast, best Spotlight replacement but I need to learn to use it better - it is very powerful and I bet I only use 5% of it now 7. Superhuman, best email client 8. 2FHey, small tool to easily copy 2-factor codes from iMessage to any web browser 9. Loom, I use this every single day for screen recording to share stuff to my team 10. Stats, free lightweight MacOS app that shows CPU and RAM and network usage in your top menu bar I guess I should do Zoom next but was sort of hoping to switch to Google Meet I think most everything else is in the browser What else should I download?

@aviflombaum Reminds me of an email i got a while back. Something about dodgeball…

@nicksoman @jjen_abel I should have had a lot more fun with this.

I am looking for an AI service where I can plug in a person's X account (e.g. @jjen_abel's) and it pulls in all tweets and responds to my questions as that person would. This seems like it should obviously exist. Does it?

Make a custom GPT! It’s super easy and basically a superpower. Click “explore gpt’s” in chatgpt and then go to create one. You can give it instructions (or if your style guide exceeds the character limit upload it as a pdf) and then use that gpt for editing. Might require a few tweaks but once you get it you can use it over and over.

I have some short blog posts that I want to be proofread according to a specific style guide. But I'm having trouble feeding each article to Grok and Claude because I get different results and edit suggestions each time. Is there a better way that I can do this?

@jaltma @shaunmmaguire Strong opening. 💙

Launching a new podcast today! It’s called Uncapped and the only theme is talking to people I admire about things I’m genuinely interested in. Our first guest is @shaunmmaguire. Here’s what we covered: 0:00 - speaking his mind in public 13:38 - trust and the media 24:27 - tech’s political flip 29:27 - investing in hard tech vs. software 45:27 - thinking with a beginner's mind 52:30 - finding fulfillment in investing 59:33 - investing in outlier people

@Jacobsklug @lovable Build

After generating $250K (last 2 months) I built a playbook for @lovable apps—and I’m giving it away. In just two months, we cracked the code to building apps with AI. I’ve distilled everything we learned into this single document. Comment "Build" and drop a follow. I’ll DM it to you. P.S. This will likely blow up, so give me some time to reply.

@karmaticacid 🤦🏻‍♂️

@aenbar my dear, this was last year

Loveburn is like Burning Man, only with no dust, easy packing, and 100x less stress. Griff & I can't make it and are looking to pass on our tickets! Comment or DM if interested 💜 Fun fact: About 1/2 the shots in this video are from Loveburn 2023!

@jakejolis Cool! When can I try it out?

Hey very small Twitter gang of mine :) it's an honor to show you what I've been working on. From the depths of stealth mode, tinkering on in bootstrap-obscurity, we emerge today to introduce something new to the world. We call it "Answering Machine"...

@BuenoForMiami It’s cheaper to put up scaffolding than get permits and make repairs so landlords just leave it up.

Can someone explain why there is scaffolding EVERYWHERE in NYC despite the buildings not being under construction? I don’t get it. What’s going on here?

@aviflombaum This is pretty good

I WISH that when I was being taught mathematics, someone had stopped to tell me that the things I were struggling with were simply syntaxes for expression of thought, ways of expressing abstract concepts to solve problems. Instead it was taught as something to be taken for granted, to be memorized. As though the brain was a bucket to pour knowledge into and that unfortuntaley, my brain lacked the space to store these complex concepts. The sad thing is that no one gave me context and showed me that these concepts mirrored ones I had already self-taught and mastered in my journey to learn how to code. Instead I was told and believed I was "bad at math." The Sigma notation below is in fact: # Assume a(i) is a function defining the terms sum = 0 (m..n).each do |i| sum += a(i) end
