@blakelockbrown You might like On the Edge by Nate Silver! It hops around a few subjects (poker, politics, tech, VC) and is a fun & insightful read: amzn.to/4qghjwH

I made a bookshelf

I wrote a new blog post, "Momentum: An Insidious Factor", on how success begets more success: blakelockbrown.com/blog/momentum-…

@FedericoNoemie @solofounders @LateNightCafeSF 🔥🔥🔥

2025 🎡 - launched @solofounders + designed our residency - ran 2 solo founders & 3 ODF cohorts - celebrated 1.5y of @LateNightCafeSF - crafted unique swag in Paris - made incredible internet friends - became a bridesmaid for someone I love - went on whimsical adventures - whale spotting, 4th of july fireworks sail, multiple crosstown trails... - most complimented halloween costume to date this was my second year in SF, can't wait to see what the third has in store :)

I'm just going to commit to shipping a few new products over the next 4 weeks and see what happens.

Realized today I have some form of "entrepreneurial anxiety", or fear of shipping. Much like social anxiety is insidiously developed from isolation, I believe I developed this from not shipping for a while. I fear the idea's not great, I'll waste effort, people won't like it.

@UziObi @balajis

@balajis This is an apples to oranges comparison. It should be all star athletes / all pro athletes with unicorn founders

Just to calibrate, tech unicorn founders are much rarer than pro athletes.

@jackfriks Get the lello 4080 instead. Ninja scrapes plastic into the ice cream, you can literally see how much it’s scraped off on the containers 🤢 We use the lello a few times a month.

anyone have one these? do you use it more than once a month?

@jackfriks You can have both. These are not mutually exclusive 🙇‍♂️

i'm constantly stuck between two poles the first being a life of calm and meaningful work, spending time with those i love and not hustling over the edge the second being wanting to own a home around where i grew up and needing $1,000,000 to make it happen

@lindaxie @farcaster_xyz @tipnearn @noicedotso that's actually super cool, damn

Microtipping on open social networks has been happening at scale on @farcaster_xyz with mini apps like @tipnearn @noicedotso Layer 2s enable tips to be less than $0.01 and new users can earn their first crypto from posting high-quality content that others engage with!

@VitalikButerin @BoredElonMusk Not really. The existence of an empty core doesn't imply political instability. Also, IRL resources aren't fixed (the economy isn't zero sum), coalitions don't reshuffle easily and they cannot just arbitrarily seize and redistribute resources.

@BoredElonMusk these two facts are related greater coordination among subgroups can make the whole more chaotic

Human coordination has never been easier, and yet we have never felt more divided as a society.

@jisong_learning Congrats on the launch 🎉🥳

Say hi to BeFreed - the world’s cutest audio agent that lets you learn anything through personalized audio. This video is 96% human generated. (1/3)

@L42ARO @fdotinc That’s freaking sick

Don't build what everyone else is building, make something new, make something crazy. Meet Mercury the first multi-modal robot-drone capable of flying, driving and carrying 1kg of payload. We started to design it a month ago and built it during the #blueprint program @fdotinc, yesterday we showcased it at the Blueprint Festival It was great to see the amazement of people that would see it transform and couldn't believe it, even better when they doubted it could fly and then checked out the video. I've never liked to just build regular robots or regular drones, there's people already doing that, so why not stand out with something that's straight out of science fiction. And this is just us getting started ...

@jackfriks Pet pig to $1m ARR 🚀

@lindaxie @kathar7na @gauntlet_xyz Thanks for this! Learned something new

Perps 101 livestream with @kathar7na @gauntlet_xyz. We covered what perps are, funding rates, popular platforms, risk management, and more! Timestamps: - 00:00 intro to perps - 02:49 understanding perps - 05:59 funding rates - 08:58 market events and liquidations - 11:45 popular perpetual platforms - 14:58 risk management and leverage differences - 17:40 community questions - 20:55 hedging techniques and market conditions - 23:48 final thoughts and resources

Excited to see a double-blind RCT to validate these claims, quantify the actual survival rate and rule out any other explanations. Science is awesome.

This doesn't imply that receiving a COVID vaccine increases your cancer survival rate. What it does suggest is that bolstering the immune system during cancer treatment likely increases your odds of survival, in this instance through a vaccine.

This is such a cool paper. They looked at patients who received a COVID vaccine within the first 100 days of starting immunotherapy and found survival rate nearly doubled (likely because the vaccine stimulated the immune system, bolstering it's attack on cancer).
