Who would have thought. After 4 years of total admiration for @DCinvestor , a thought leader of this space, a man known for his deep insights on almost everything, a true collector and a man of principles, it turned out that he is just one more jew-hating fucking moron. Sad

vibe coding an app where you can provide your NFT ID and get a 3D model of your NFT in return the only problem is that the 3D model looks retarded as of now but I am working on it

for a long time, pop stars were expected to live up to very high, unattainable beauty standards that were out of reach for most girls. so it's really nice to see that our society has become more accepting of pop singers with different body types

There are 1400 school buildings in NYC. School zones are about 3-block radius (0.16 sq miles) which means 224 sq miles of streets will be affected. NYC is ~300 sq miles. So 75% of NYC streets will covered by the 15mph law! Map credit: @The74

@ycinnewyork How far from the school does the zone reach? If it's a quarter mile, it's much of the city.

you can literally write down a general equilibrium ICAPM around this and it just clears. endogenous startup supply, heterogeneous fund tiers as agents, big funds with better category signal, and my favorite part, a non-pecuniary social cachet return as a preference parameter the core insight is that every tier of the capital stack is pricing recursively off the tier above it. Merton’s ICAPM but the consumption-portfolio problem cascades down the venture stack instead of across asset classes. so when Arian talks about small funds acting as “feeders,” that’s hedging demand. you stay in a category because the continuation value of being positioned there is highest the single state variable everyone downstream is hedging against is big fund category conviction. when that rotates, everything below it reprices overnight. cramming everyone into SF collapses monitoring costs and strips out information asymmetry, which makes the hedge tractable enough to actually act on. state variables again and all that burned seed capital is the system charges a risk premium for resolving who the category winner is. people look at this and see dysfunction or status games. but when returns are power-law and information is both extreme asymmetry and sequentially revealed, you need a mechanism that eliminates candidates in rounds to converge on a price. market clearing basically

I generally bemoan the reality that Bay Area (and increasingly global) startup culture is devolving into an MBA-ified zero-sum tournament (akin to the law school/firm example Peter Thiel talks about in Zero to One), both for founders and VC participants The anatomy of the tournament: > VC firms (big firms carrying more weight) "request" startups in areas that are highly likely to have a highly valuable ($10B+) winner in the future > Upstream, many small seed funds that act as feeders to big firms begin investing in these areas (to serve their purpose as feeders -> show markups to LPs) > As much of this capital is in the Bay Area, it's easier to track the tournament by encouraging geographical concentration of the tournament participants (e.g. "you must be in SF if you're building AI apps"). Something like a VC-sanctioned hackerhouse is the extreme form of this > Syndicates of small seed funds will back the first wave of teams to stay in the business (the unfunded are eliminated, on to the next tournament) > Teams continue to get eliminated, with capital concentrating into fewer and fewer companies. > Ultimately, a handful survive. Big firms plow money into these tournament finalists to kingmake them as the category winners (ton of seed fund capital burned btw as collateral damage to enable the winners for the big firms to choose from) imo almost all the moves you see in mainstream Bay Area venture cater to the facilitation of this tournament. The technical "MBA" type (i.e. those that can build but are inherently interested in social cachet) is typically the one that participates (as "winning" in the tournament i.e. raising big fundraising rounds) generates social cachet (akin to getting into a good law school, or landing a shiny consulting job in a prior era).

there’s a guy on my timeline i feel bad for because nobody interacts with his tweets. every now and then i’ll notice one, check back later, and it’s gone. like he quietly deleted it after realizing nobody engaged with it. today i decided i should be his only supporter and turn on notifications for him so at least one person likes his tweets. i pulled up his profile and the edit profile button popped up.
