We have to get people excited about building on @ethereum again

@dadhalfdev @eth_systems Agree: Looks lame AF

@eth_systems Looks promising, but please change the font of the website 🙂

Today we're launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. Institutions want to use Ethereum, but one of the biggest problems is the lack of built-in, modular privacy tools. We were the Ethereum Foundation's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) for the past year. We had hundreds of conversations with central banks, regulators, tier-one banks, and asset managers, shipping open source work the whole time. Wall Street has found crypto as an asset class, but not yet as commercial infrastructure. Institutions want to run real flows on Ethereum: stablecoins, tokenized assets, settlement. These are businesses with billions of dollars on the line, and no bank will operate in full public view. On a public ledger, confidentiality is the hard part: each party to a transaction should see what it has a right to see, and nothing more. We have a year of proof of work: private bonds, confidential stablecoin transfers, private settlement across chains, the Ethereum Privacy Map, and more. All with protocol specs and security properties, at our website. We've spent a decade working on privacy in crypto. We know there's no silver bullet. Different use cases need different systems, each designed, specified, and hardened properly, and someone has to do that work. That's why EthSystems exists. We're an independent, for-profit company, backed by long-term Ethereum-aligned investors. This is a decade-long transition, and we aren't going anywhere. If you're an institution that wants to build on Ethereum, talk to us. We're hiring: BD in New York, protocol engineers, ops: join@ethsystems.org

Needle drops + goofy jokes don’t work in DC movies. James Gunn fails to understand this. It’s so obvious: The audience votes with their wallet, the box office numbers tell all. This is why he has failed as CEO…. He thinks being creative is the same as running a business.

@EndWokeness Not counting Obsession (best film of the year so far), the last truly great films from Hollywood were both from director Joseph Kosinski: F1 and Top Gun: Maverick

When was the last time Hollywood put out a good original movie? Genuinely asking.

@ReviewFischer @EverythingDCU_ @DanielRPK @NexusPointNews Also: If true, this will surely be undone as soon as Gunn and Safran are fired and Pam Abdy and Mike DeLuca take over with Snyder at the helm, pending the completion of WB’s takeover by Paramount

@EverythingDCU_ @DanielRPK @NexusPointNews It’s not confirmed unless it comes from your lord James Gunn.

Confirmed: Blue Beetle is returning in MAN OF TOMORROW! (Via @DanielRPK | @NexusPointNews )

James Gunn ruined DC…

Can’t wait to sit down with this absolute icon. The one and only @FrankMillerInk is coming to LA for Frank Miller: Storyteller, presented by @howtoacademy. I’ll be in conversation with him at the Wilshire Ebell Theater this Saturday, July 18th at 7pm. If you love bold storytelling, you won’t wanna miss it. Tickets: howtoacademy.com/frank See you there!

@Dominos_UK Taco Bell Diarrhea

tell a terrifying story in 3 words

@ReviewFischer How much do you wanna bet it’s a 30 second cameo? The exact opposite of what James Gunn said he would do…

You cannot be serious with this.

@ZackSnyder @ReviewFischer @FrankMillerInk @howtoacademy I’m bummed I’m gonna miss this due to another event I’m already attending but I’m crossing my fingers that the Snyderverse being restored will be announced!!!

@Itssan17 He’s one of us

Time was good when Henry Cavill dropped this video of him building his own pc

@sama I’ve been trying my best to not give you money but Fable at 1/4 the price just might give me the nudge to cancel Claude and switch

GPT-5.6 sol is half the price and ~twice as token efficient as fable in many cases for accomplishing the same task. happy to deliver at one-quarter of the price.

@levelsio Tried to buy your book “MAKE” but it’s not on Audible? That’s the only platform I use…

💸 Today I invested in a new thing: Ethereum is essentially a public spreadsheet with every transaction being visible for everyone forever But that makes it impossible to use for banks because it's not private. Imagine you buy something and everyone in the entire world can see it? That'd be never be accepted So my friend @oskarth has been working on a new thing called @eth_systems that lets banks use Ethereum but while keeping transactions private Before this he was working for 10 years on stuff like zk-SNARK (math tricks that let you prove something is true without revealing the details) and advising the Ethereum Foundation, he's the most high IQ person I know, so when he started something that's for-profit (after lots of non-profit work) I asked to invest immediately YC always taught me to invest in people not companies, the companies (and product) can change (and should) and it can pivot into lots of other things, but if you trust the person you can estimate a higher likelihood of it (and your investment) working out If you like to see what they will make, follow @eth_systems 😊😊😊

@spencerpratt We still want you for mayor…. I hope their racket is exposed and they both resign in shame, leaving a void needing to be filled

LA will never forgive Nithya Raman for what she’s done to destroy this city as the commissar in charge of homelessness in LA. This carpetbagger moved her a few years ago and straight up nuked our city & the film industry in just a few short years. She’s worse than Covid.

Disney is failing because it is a family brand ran by single childless woke activists.

@DeadmanBostonB @ReviewFischer More people saw Black Adam than Supergirl with your hero Diaper Man

@adrianrobison @ReviewFischer Still waiting

If Henry Cavill’s Superman fans really wanted him to come back, they would’ve shown up for Black Adam.

@DiscussingFilm We need Elon to clarify…

Tom Holland meets Tom Holland. “Were I the kind of person that regularly Googled himself, you destroyed my ability to do that.”

@DiscussingFilm California is the most beautiful state in the union with the best weather, governed by the absolute most retarded people on planet earth.

Paramount is considering a relocation of all its operations from California if the state decides to sue to stop the Warner Bros takeover. (Source: semafor.com/article/07/12/…)

@claudeai These “limited edition” models are like sneaker drops for developers. The fact that they put a deadline on it actually makes me MORE productive because I’ll put aside other activities just to use the tokens.

We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.

@AkademiksTV Since you fail upwards in Hollywood I suppose this means that James Gunn will now be CEO of WB

Supergirl is projected to lose $244 Million at the box office😬
