@swyx i’m still annoyed at them about the time they backed out of sending me an orange beanie. great oranges though. normally fantastic but the last bag I had was flavorless

hi it’s me your friendly neighborhood sumo orange devrel. these are SOTA Oranges. eating 2 of these every day will ~fill your daily vitamin C and fiber needs (!!!) they are delicious, insanely easy to peel (I am dead serious, this will make you revisit what you think an orange eating experience should be, all other oranges are ruined after eating this one) and you can subscribe weekly on Amazon Fresh for like $8.

openai is a very very very special place and im super grateful to all the people that make it so

😭😭

@jrichlive robinhood has a managed portfolio product too that seems quite good, and a roth product that is very easy to use. but I get your point, it’s too tempting to invest in sports futures when you’re checking the other two

Wealthfront account up 17.9% this year vs SP500 16.6%. Generated 20X tax losses harvested (thank you April) vs fees. Compounding works…🤞

if you want to set it up too:

@SUPER7X___ @OliverJia1014 it’s just cuz usually the “ko” in katakana is directly spelled using a k. None of the hiragana/katakana guides typically use the letter c reddit.com/r/LearnJapanes…

@OliverJia1014 I don't understand the “conbini” spelling. Should be either “konbini” or “conveni” I think.

Until you get to the conbinis lol

@OliverJia1014 same with food courts in malls. Helpful if they’re from south asia because they also usually speak english if you have weird questions and don’t wanna pull out translator app

@Ziggys_Duck guh you beat me to it but I already posted

@anujsaharan_ @bubbleboi I tested a strand of @anujsaharan_ ‘s hair and he is a real capybara

@bubbleboi are you a real kangaroo?

I got to realize that the chance Sam Altman & Jensen Huang aren’t reading my tweets gets lower everyday as my reach grows.

I think I found a new meme template that I like. here’s an attempt to use it, kind of on the wordy side though

@kozerafilip this is a neat office!

I spent $1.5M building our office after raising a seed round. My co-founder thought I was crazy. Here's what changed his mind... 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭: After our seed round, I looked at our team. Mostly immigrants. Working 6-day weeks. Building something incredibly hard. The office wasn't just where they worked. It was becoming their home. So I made a bet, what if we actually designed for that? The requirements I gave our real estate agent: - Shower (for ocean swims between meetings) - as close to the beach as possible, ability to quickly go surfing/kiting etc. - Big enough kitchen for a chef - Room for an actual sauna People thought I was building a vacation house, I thought: I am building a place worth the sacrifice. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: - Found one of SF's best real estate lawyers. Negotiated hard. - Negotiated Tenant Improvements + First year for free - Effective cost: $250k (not $1.5M) Then I was extremely prescriptive with design and construction. No endless back-and-forth. I drew what I wanted. Told them to build it. Cut iteration time by 80%. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭: - Nordic vibes (keeping our European souls) - Industrial kitchen - Sauna room (yes, like our product: sauna.ai) - Ocean access - Space that feels like home Conclusions: - This "expensive" decision already paid for itself. - In SF, recruiters charge $100k per engineer. We've closed multiple hires -because candidates walked in and said: "I want to work here." But the real ROI isn't only financial. It's this: - We do Friday AMA as a BBQs on the beach. - People actually use the surfboards. - The team's lifestyle supports the intensity of the work. EVERYONE WANTS IN, doesnt matter if events, hiring or using the space as coworking (@bertie_ai and I open it up for our portfolio companies) My co-founder's response after 3 months: "You were right." Some founders optimize for low burn rate. I optimize for: Can great people sustain this pace for years? Because great companies aren't built in one sprint. They're built by people who can go the distance. We're hiring: wordware.ai/careers (Comment if you want intros to our real estate agent, lawyers or construction team - happy to connect)

I just keep seeing the meme of people throwing The Intelligent Investor into the trash and i’m like, we can make this a video

@gabriel1 local drive: napa, big sur/monterey/carmel/pismo vegas can be hit or miss, hawaii is a close flight I guess I should have asked what you’re looking for haha

moved SF from sweden two years ago and i still have not been to LA, or anywhere outside SF it's time, where should i go

@arubikscube dunno about bars but short list of SF food might be: R&G lounge, Kokkari, House of Prime Rib, Limon, State Bird, The Bird, Outta Sight Pizza

gf lands in SF from Boston in one hour, staying for ten days, what should we do current list is mostly places, urgently seeking food + bar recs: - exploratorium on thursday - marin headlands - lands end/sutro baths - japantown - golden gate park; cal academy of sciences and conservatory of flowers - b patisserie/arsicault - somewhere with good sandwiches to show her dutch crunch - maybe point lobos

@kiantrades wait they had a version of this, like wrapped. had it for maybe 2-3 years

I wish Robinhood had an EOY recap like Spotify "You played SPX 0dtes 1323 times this year and made $87.49" "You had 54 wash sale activities" "You ran out of BP 43 times"

@joannejang just name names joanne

hi -- im hiring for Stargate once again! there's an absurd amount of things in the critical path of converting sand into intelligence: power, compute, network, storage, manufacturing, finance, ops, and everything in between. someone needs to stitch that work across the stack and across the industry to enable the next step-function of capability it's one of the few roles in the world where you can reach across nearly every layer that make modern AI systems possible -- make calls that shift timelines, costs, and what's physically achievable -- and get to sit next to folks who are literally the world's best at each of those layers they also have boba every now and then! jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai/e1a1a6b…
