I used to think this way. Not so much anymore. If I see someone using a better software, it tells me that they are not following the trend (easy button) but are analyzing the problem and the need the right way. It builds confidence.

@bankertobuilder Looks like a miserable neighborhood to live in. Is that a freeway ending directly in driveway?

Imagine how short your commute would be if we had the courage to build highways like this

@typesfast Propose an addendum to the billionaire tax that treats unrealized benefits like unrealized gains.

We should probably fix this. What are the best ideas?

@sourceryy @friedberg Propose an addendum to the billionaire tax that treats unrealized benefits like unrealized gains.

.@friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt": "People don't realize how screwed California is. I worry that if California falls, so does the union." "We're $250 billion to $1 trillion short." "If it was the federal government, they would just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits." "There's a Supreme Court case in California that said once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever." "And the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it." "No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services." " This isn't about taxes and Billionaire Tax Act. I don't think you can tax your way out of this problem. People will just leave the state." "California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country and we need to figure out what we can change to fix it." At the @HillValleyForum 2026

I just borrowed against my own 401(k). I pay interest every pay period back to myself. Everything processed automatically via payroll. No fees if I want to pay it back early. Seems like one of the only useful hacks in a while.

A chapter ends. A new one begins - what will be your role?

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

Got a legit-looking @RobinhoodApp email today. Haven’t touched the account in years. Downloaded the raw .eml and checked headers. SPF ✅ DKIM ✅ DMARC ✅ It was actually sent from Robinhood’s infrastructure. But the body had a phishing payload injected into it. The top half of the email was normal: “Your recent login to Robinhood” Then inside the HTML, mid-content, it suddenly injected: “UNRECOGNIZED ACTIVITY — Case #RH-6801” with a “Review Activity” button. That button did NOT go to robinhood.com. It went to: googletagmanager.com → redirect → tinzio.net Classic cloaking. This is what makes it dangerous: This isn’t a spoof. This isn’t a random phishing email. It passed all authentication checks and came from a real sender. What likely happened: Some part of the email pipeline (template / dynamic field / notification system) got abused and allowed HTML injection. So attackers piggybacked on a legit email. Why this matters: Most advice says “check the sender”. That doesn’t work here. Everything looked legit at the header level. What to do instead: Never click email buttons for anything financial Always go directly to the app or type the URL manually Treat urgency + “case numbers” as a red flag Inspect link destinations (not just the visible text) If something feels off, it probably is What I did: I downloaded the .eml file and sent it to an AI to analyze Logged in manually Changed password Rotated 2FA Checked devices + account changes If you use Robinhood (or any fintech), assume this technique will get reused. Real emails can still be weaponized. Stay sharp.

Same. Tried contacting @RobinhoodApp support via app but couldn’t get any real support.

@CJHandmer @typesfast If you normalize the times in the example to account for equal layover periods, the lower emission aircraft are actually faster by about 16%

@typesfast They're slower though

The lowest emissions planes are the newest / nicest ones

@AskRobinhood @RobinhoodApp bug in the help chat :bell:

Fantastic. So in-character.

@Leooweb3 Depends. Liquid or illiquid? New or used car? Year / model? Main car or side car? Family?

If you had a $5M networth. Would you spend $250k on a Porsche 911?

@claudeai has gotten so great, it teaches you new words in english while it is coding.

IMO, we have officially reached a new age of AI. It is now convenient to use my macbook with @claudeai desktop than to use my iPhone. Using iPhone is no longer enjoyable. All a phone will need to do is connect to a dedicated device managed by your locally managed AI.

⁦@AnthropicAI⁩ when will Claude be able to respond in thread to an email?

@eoghan What’s the best way to get started?

We're announcing the most significant new strategic development since the start of the Customer Agent category: Fin now has specialized roles. And starting today anyone can sign up for and deploy the Fin Sales Role in minutes. Fin is now by far the very best sales agent on the market, and it's been live with some of the most innovative digital brands for months, conversing with thousands of prospects, aiding discovery, building pipeline, booking meetings and starting trials. We started the Customer Agent category with a focus on service by launching Fin three months after the launch of ChatGPT. Since then Fin has continued to lead the space, today delivering over 2 million resolutions a week for over 8k customers, including Anthropic, DoorDash, Snowflake, Asana, Mercury, Polymarket and many more exceptional brands. But our vision for Fin has always stretched far beyond service. And for the past 6 months we’ve been building Fin as a single Customer Agent, delivering a seamless experience across all stages of the customer lifecycle. We do not believe customers or businesses will want multiple agents for different parts of the lifecycle—because the agents won’t have shared memory and goals, and will have to compete with each other, delivering a poor customer experience and sub-optimal business results. We’ve more roles to come, including another dropping in two weeks. For now please watch our launch video or visit our launch page to learn more: fin DOT ai SLASH sales

@chamath What is your definition of success and how has it changed during different periods? What are your guiding principles when things get tough or overwhelming?

let me know what you think and what you'd like me to share on this channel think would be fun to do a video on my best and worst investments

@typesfast We haven’t seen tariffs impact end consumer for airplane parts or fuel yet. Any thoughts on the aviation supply chain? Does it remain unburdened?

Took a minute to run it through the trade attorneys but here's Flexport's official post about the Supreme Court's tariff ruling
