Our core belief at Antimetal is that solving infrastructure complexity is the final frontier of software development.
I wrote about why this matters and the path to automated, intent-based infrastructure.

Today, we’re announcing Antimetal’s $20M Series A.
Writing code is no longer the hard part. Maintaining it is.
We’re automating everything that happens after you deploy.
We have 60 spots available. Reply for early access.

the vast majority of telegram messages are not e2e encrypted. only secret chats are.
what they do instead is shard the chat data and store it on their servers across multiple jurisdictions so that multiple courts across these various jurisdictions have to issue warrants to recover chat history.
but telegram itself is able to access all chat data outside of secret chats and i assume enough illegal activity has occurred in normal chats for them to pursue charges.

I’ve yet to see a mention of what I believe to be an interesting consequence of Durov’s apprehension.
I’d suspect the case to be contingent on the integrity of telegram’s encryption.
The prosecution should have to prove Pavel’s awareness of the illegal activities they are charging him with facilitating.
Signal cabal watching closely

It’s not abt being a tech billionaire. Pavel/TG refused to provide some 3 letter agencies w backdoor read access, a request to which others comply (WhatsApp, sms, iMessage, etc). It’s an admirable, OG cypherpunk stance by Durov, as seen by the people.
My main point however, is Durov’s non-compliance is admirable if and only if there was no backdoor whatsoever (true e2ee). If he/telegram core had such read access, his current position seems much less defensible.

A far superior articulation of the core problem from which my position on this topic was derived.

Excitement around this infuriates me. Western medicine will prescribe drugs before prescribing behavioral changes, and we wonder why American healthcare is falling apart.

Did an experiment with a small $AMC market sell to see how bad I’d get filled (book showing sufficient liquidity within 5bps).
Got filled 4.6% below the _bid_
Vlad I understand Kenny needs to make a spread but Ceasars offers a lower VIG on Knicks ML

@garybasin Would love to see what these charts would look like if we had the data to extend the x axis prior to the Industrial Revolution

This seems like a powerful next step in neural networks. Learnable activation functions seem to be closer to what the brain is doing!

Tremendous opportunity on the supply side of this paradigm, if you are equipped for the regulatory requirements. Collect massive fees on publicly traded vehicles offering exposure to hot private companies.
An operator could charge 3% mgmt on a closed end fund with OpenAI at $86b, and it would certainly trade at a premium. Run back the playbook with SpaceX, Anthropic, Neuralink, Anduril and enjoy the cash flow.
DXYZ is the perfect case study; incredible demand despite poor execution. Destiny bid the hottest ‘21-‘22 names no matter the price, down big on almost everything beside SpaceX.
It’s currently trading beyond 5x book.

A private-market ETF quietly launched this week -- NYSE: $DXYZ. 35% of it's holding are @SpaceX, but there's also exposure to @boomsupersonic, @openai, @brex, @stripe, @flexport, and a bunch of other great startups Not investment advice, but interesting. destiny.xyz/tech100

Few understand memecoins. Memecoins are all about rewarding those who create and identify *culture*. The meme is just a flag that people rally around. It captures the essence of a community and its culture.
Many confuse memecoins as rewarding attention but lots of attention is only sometimes evidence of a strong culture. Racist memecoins for instance received a lot of attention but none of them are doing well. Their culture is weak.
More on culture soon.
