Some news! Today is my last day on the @a16zcrypto comms team. After a fulfilling 4.5 years here, I'm ready for my next challenge, and gonna take some time to figure out what that is. If we haven't talked in a while, hit me up! A huge thank you to @cdixon @alive_eth @eddylazzarin @kimbatronic and all my other colleagues for the incredible opportunity and experience. 🙏 To the founders and marketing leads at our portcos that I was fortunate enough to support: keep on building. You've got a fan for life 👏

@CyrtHogg Striking out in that spot was unconscionable. It’s been a full week since the Brewers scored on anything other than a HR

Hey everyone, some personal news I’m really excited about... For the past few months I’ve been working on a book proposal with my friend and colleague Tim Sullivan (@Tim_Org). We’re excited to share that it’s just been acquired by Crown Currency at Penguin Random House! We’re calling it (for now) Inside The Machine: How Computer Science Rewired Everything. Most of us talk about tech in terms of the shiny stuff — apps, gadgets, platforms, and the people who built them. But this misses a bigger, more interesting story. Computer science didn't just hand us new tools. It changed how we think about problems in the first place — what even counts as a problem, what looks like a solution, what we optimize for, and what we ignore. Over time, this way of thinking has seeped outward and saturated everything else. You see it in markets that run like algorithms instead of human institutions, in media that’s tuned for engagement, in companies organized more like software than trad hierarchies. Even in the way people talk: inputs, outputs, signals, noise, etc. Once you start noticing it, it’s hard to stop seeing it everywhere. Tim and I have spent years separately reporting on tech, business, science, and economics, and then also as editors on the a16z crypto editorial team. Throughout, we kept running into the same big question: what happens when the logic of computing becomes the logic of society? This book is our personal attempt to answer that — to trace how these ideas spread (often without us realizing) and how they’ve reshaped the systems we all live with, including the tradeoffs that come with them. We’re still super early in the process, but we’re thrilled it’s happening. If you want to follow along as the book comes together, we’d love that. In the meantime, tell us: what’s your favorite example you’ve seen of computer science thinking sneaking into everyday life? Could be in business, politics, dating, whatever — we'd love to know what you all notice.

@yelichfans Luis Lara time? He's a switch hitter with a .950 OPS at Triple-A. I'd rather have him than Perkins or Matos rn

Congress has worked tirelessly to give builders the rules they need. It’s time for members of the Senate on both sides to hammer out the final details of the Clarity Act. When rules are defined, both consumers and entrepreneurs win.  The GENIUS Act unlocked stablecoin innovation. The Clarity Act can do the same across crypto.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Congress has spent the better part of half a decade trying to pass a framework to onshore the future of finance. It is time for @BankingGOP to hold a markup and send the CLARITY Act to President Trump’s desk. Senate time is precious, and now is the time to act.

Shane Drohan threw 28 of 63 pitches for strikes. That's the second-lowest strike percentage by any Brewers pitcher with at least 50 pitches thrown in a single game in the pitch tracking era (since 2008).

@PavlovicNBCS I was surprised the Giants DFA’d him — he’s still only 24. My understanding is that he was out of options, and am genuinely wondering if that was mismanagement by the Giants sending him back and forth from the minors too frequently over the past few years?
