@garrytan Wow!! Amazing, looking forward to seeing how delve turns out

Delve is now a top YC startup. YC funded 10% of the people who came to this talk. You can do a lot in two years.

its funny seeing who's mad about the mandate bc they're just outing themselves as not understanding the fundamental value proposition of crypto

@dankrad yeag

Sounds like a fun cult to work for 🤔

@networkspirits @eulerfinance congrats!

it's time for a life update I have joined @eulerfinance to lead marketing 🥳 I’m a month in and i thought i’d take the chance to talk about why Euler I have long admired Euler, and whenever i tell people i’ve joined the reaction is the same. defi people love Euler. even if no one can pronounce it. while i love working in consumer, i wanted to do something different this time around. the bulk of my career (8 years, i’m old) was in tradfi risk and initially working in crypto was very different, but we’re at a time where worlds are colliding and a lot of those skills are becoming more relevant than ever. I pondered going founder mode, but ultimately decided i wanted to work with a lean team who move fast and are the best at what they do. I’ve always admired @euler_mab, and meeting the rest of the team was enough for me to know that the spirit is strong. a month in, i am absolutely loving it. there’s a whole lot to do and a whole lot coming. i am even more sure that Euler stands apart in its tech in terms of what it can bring to anyone - institutions, protocols, builders, curators - and i’m excited to help translate the tech to the masses. at the moment, other lending protocols/infra have more mindshare and there's a gap to be closed. i aim to educate and help bump our beloved oiler back to where it belongs. i have great respect for what others are building and i am not a combative person - so don't expect me to go to war on the timeline. the reality is, as our (still tiny) industry grows, sensible players will be sure to diversify. there's room for many winners, and i know one of them will be us. i’ll be at EthCC, so say hello (& yes, its oiler btw)

@zkDragon :(

Come on claude, you know better. "I shouldn't have made up stats"

leslie lamport publishes a living autobiography at lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html with a list of his works along with personal stories behind them half of his stories is just him saying he doesn't remember things my favourite anecdote is the one where he admits to submitting a 'not a first-rate' paper just so he could attend a conference at sagamore lake to visit the lake

@networkspirits "is currently lit up with its normal lights" lmao

the most 2026 thing so far, having to explain that the building you booked was right next to a shahed 136 drone attack to get a refund approved

apparently this is not covered by the Major Disruptive Events Policy i am wheezing

if code is creative work then the artists are inevitably going to feel a sense of loss because of ai taking over their outlet for expression

@henlojseam arguably does since he managed to get a sizable no. of people to believe in luna

@spiralladder_ MFW when someone says when Do Kwon has rizz

2021 was a wild time

@kissadkalsong @Dainago80822508 his coup was the final act of his larp tho

@Dainago80822508 Mishima is arguably not a LARPer since he did actually attempt a coup.

Yukio Mishima is a fairly good example of the type of rich larper that never saw combat a day in his life.

@0xdasha they still think real life sucks and need an escape

@spiralladder_ agreed but i dont mean the age thing (that much is obvious), i mean our age group

how do people get addicted to gaming? i have to force myself to play games to take a break from reality which is much more fun

@harpaljadeja @kaijuneer @PeterSchiff

@kaijuneer who's the dev 😂

dev sold?

@0xz80 sounds gross

I get why they had to change it but moltbot is probably the worst name I have ever heard for anything in my life

@vanhger which one do you use

@spiralladder_ I use E-readers :)) no more walking into bookstores :v

new books aren't worth reading because of the tiktokification of books, walk into any bookstore today and most book covers are just slop clickbait, it's almost like opening up a youtube homepage
