It’s really awful being 143 IQ and such a total failure in life. I got my PhD in biology thinking I was going to help save the world but no one has hired me for a permanent position in over a year and a half of searching. I thought proof of my high IQ was supposed to land me a job
English
@Ace_da_Book @TheSpeculator0 SBF’s IQ was objectively way lower.
English
Jeff is a well adjusted adult. This isn't a matter of IQ. SBF was probably way higher IQ, but the psychopathic behavior combined with austism makes for horrible leadership.
Jeff also doesn't have the pressure to keep raising bigger and bigger rounds to inflate valuations and satisfy investors. He can focus on product.
English
Jeff probably has over a standard deviation of IQ on me and I like hyperliquid but have we learned from the last cycle with these puff pieces about casually dressed guys with quirky personalities running exchanges?

This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore. Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work. Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor. Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms. Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed. Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto. Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to. Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do. In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.

@tominoski @spandrell4 It’s kind of sad, maybe the guy is just IQ limited but their stuff is terribly thought out.
English
this guy is a liar. to sell his product, he throws out highly controversial lies. no one can speak for the general population, yet this guy gives numbers on behalf of the whole population with inflated member counts. furthermore, they say they do science, but my entire team and i examined everywhere in detail, including their site, and he is completely lying. he publishes scientists' articles on his site without permission and calls this doing science. this guy is making up the numbers, do not believe him.

Telling women they're retarded is not a great business idea

There are roughly 30 men in the entire US who are 6'5", blue eyes, trust fund, work in finance. One of the most common problems we see at Keeper: someone sets three or four non-negotiable filters that, combined, mathematically eliminate almost everyone in their city. No dating app has ever told them that. Keeper does. We show you exactly how many people are in your pool for any filter combination so you can see the real cost of each dealbreaker before you spend weeks waiting for matches that can't exist.

@GaetenD Don't know anything about this market but thanks for pointing out this bond!
English
@goldenpants013 Haha, they definitely lucked out and could've easily lost big with the Dechambeau short. It's a good short but still risky.
English
Kinda lame that all the sharp bettors cosplayed as golf bettors for one week, shorted Bryson and had exactly 0 sweat en route to the bank. I feel like you all have been robbed of a real golf betting experience. Sad
English
@goldenpants013 I’m not showing it on FRL either. Looks like you got your wish already.
English
Man I can't even imagine how much volume the Masters would have done on Kalshi if they hadn't switched to deci-cent across the orderbook.
Everyone will be jumping around and not loading up levels - I understand wanting to do it 99+/98+...but will squash liquidity elsewhere
English
Amazing this Post has only 1 like.
There are two types of men:
Those who understand the egirl’s Tweet, and those who don’t.
The latter group is colorfully summarized as “closeted h*mosexuals” in the post below, and they can really be foolish!

@nishikoripicks @fanofrondo9 Oh got it, thank you! Very helpful!

@Always123BC @fanofrondo9 it’s Betfair Exchange. not accessible from US

Rule number 1⃣ of Tennis Betting:
You cannot back Korda live that low (500k+ matched below 1.10).
No.
English
@fanofrondo9 @nishikoripicks Yeah this exchange confused me a bit. Idk why jurisdiction would matter if purchasing information. Maybe he was thinking something other than a simple purchase
English
@SCHIZO_FREQ You were correct. The old Korda even showed up!

@ShakiraBets The quoted post doesn’t include Zakharova

@swansonbenson0 That makes HYPE look so strong given the n=2 alts had zero revenue.
English
Even if hype went to 600, it wouldnt have been a ‘good buy’ at any point… crypto ogs all know alts have Massive capitulation during the deep bear with n=2, just look at eth and sol, both went -95% before their real run. Hype has to fully capitulate to set up the next bull

BowTiedBrazil@bowtiedbrazil
so many are going to get rekt on taxes w/AI. Gemini Pro just gave me a very wrong tax answer and I only knew it was wrong bc i know the code. then it said whoops sorry yeah that changed in 2022.

@UnabatedSports Journalists are maximally moronic in every context. No need to read the article to know what happened when a journalist tried sports betting.
English
- Deeply, morally opposed to gambling
- Doesn't know the ML from the spread
- Betting with the magazine's money
- Refuses to heed basic betting advice from Nate Silver
- Tails bet from Sean Perry
- Fired half his BR on the Pats in the Super Bowl
- Shocked he's down $10k

After @McKayCoppins’s first bet on an NFL game, he was up $20. By the end of the season, he’d lost $10,000 and was checking DraftKings in church. Inside his season as a gambler—and what it taught him about how gambling is suffusing American life: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

@OudVelvet @usutav @animalologist Apparently “might as well” comes from “might as well X as Y” and you could omit “might” in the original version and not be too confusing. So I guess he thought it would be fine to omit both, which I guess makes sense.
English
@OudVelvet @usutav @animalologist I couldn’t find anything saying that it’s old-fashioned to omit the “may”? I still don’t understand why he omitted the word. If he hadn’t, I would’ve thought the human text better by a lot, but the “as well” annoyed me so much I went with the boring AI slop.
English
Having worked on literary passages with thousands of high schoolers, I’m just gonna let y’all know that >50% of adults straight up do not know what the left passage is saying. It is opaque to them. At least 20% of people will struggle with the one on the right too, although probably not of the people who’d take this test for fun. They’ll ~all basically get & perhaps be moved by the right.
At best 2/3 can even grok the left though. Genuinely. The syntax is too unintuitive for people who don’t regularly read old prose. If you struggle with it too much, you’ll also prefer the other one that came more naturally and carried similar emotional weight — perhaps even more, since your faculties weren’t overtaxed trying to understand it

Welp time to walk into the ocean

@usutav @animalologist Interesting, not even sure I fully understand the sentence. The AI passage reads like something a child would write. AI straining to write like a clueless child 😂
English
@Always123BC @animalologist [Ask men what they think of stone] [as well]
<<<
[As well] [ask men what they think of stone]
Parts of a sentence are moved around to alter the word order for emphasis. English has rather strict word order usually due to being highly analytical, but there's still ample room.
