watching your kid learn language is amazing. my daughter was trying to describe water as deep and called it "heavy". she was trying to say her water bottle was out of reach on a table and she said "it's too high".

@PaulaYScanlan Does anyone here remember what happened on Bob Iger's first day? Grok tell them all what it was like (and buckle up)

if you’re having a bad day just know that the disney ceo started YESTERDAY

After YC, Airbnb raised $615k at a $3M post-money valuation. We were the highest valuation in our batch.

Watch this space. The implications of increased data efficiency are immense.

@vitransformer Do it!

man i should add my results too!

The coolest thing out there right now is just still having empathy and values. Red pilling, vice signaling, OUT. Caring, believing, IN.

apropos, Force Majeure (2014) is a fantastic film

@matt_slotnick actual lol from me

this is what happens when your baseball team doesn’t have access to claude

@briannekimmel that last one is a real abanger

SF getting so expensive, someone should build - app to rent an air mattress for a night - marketplace to donate your kidney - agent to join GLG, AlphaSights calls - grocery delivery that refuses to buy produce because you never actually cook

This is it. warontherocks.com/2026/03/the-da…

@ahmedafatah I didn't say you need a co-founder! I'm specifically calling out those who are literally trying to build 1-person unicorns

respectfully disagree. you absolutely need other people — users, advisors, communities. but you don't need a co-founder or employees to ship. I'm solo across 3 products with 250+ active users. AI handles the code velocity. humans handle the taste and direction. the myth that you need a team to build is what keeps most people from ever starting.

I find the "solo founder strong-arming everything alone bUT WitH Ai" an extremely negative signal. You need other people and if you don't get this you're ngmi

I wrote 4 checks last year and so far 1 check this year into solo founders fwiw. But none of them are like "oh yeah i can handle it all"

more companies should do this: a list of failed experiments. github.com/qlabs-eng/slow…

@benblumenrose @notion @linear @stripepress @barrald and co at @_hex_tech have a v solid swag game

What’s the most impressive company merch you’ve seen over the past couple of years? e.g. the @notion chore coat, @linear employee gift, @stripepress books...

There are so many ways to give money and avoid any of the nonprofit pathologies you want to. It is pure cope to pretend that these very smart people can't figure that out. Some good ideas I've seen around include: - Prizes for vaccine development - Purchase some high-social-value patents and release them to the public - Direct cash transfers - Scholarships for people to study specific questions you think are important - Advance market commitments for important high-value tech innovations (drought resistant crops, cheap desalinsation whatever) - direct funding of open-source infrastructure - Hire a right wing person to think of more ideas than the ones I'm coming up with off the cuff

I’ve never seen so much obviously fake/doctored satellite imagery going viral on here as I am seeing now.

@matt_slotnick stable in the mission?

does anyone have a cafe with outdoor seating they like working from in sf

What are the effects of large human-capital shocks on innovation? In a new paper, we study how WWI military deaths across British communities affected local invention over the next decades. We find that places that lost more young men became persistently less innovative. (🧵1/11)

@anuraggoel @render It's a great product! I started using it a few weeks ago. I am now on my 3rd cron job running there and will add many more. Nice work!

This chart shows the number of paid services created on @render each week. We're doing alright.
