Bitcoin The Key to Freedom 🧵 bitcoin stands as a cornerstone in the decentralization of money and power, revolutionizing the way we view currency unlike traditional fiat currencies controlled by governments and central banks

5 years in LA came to a close today. I moved to Cali in the middle of the pandemic - fresh out of college after living with my parents trying to figure my life out. It was right before the golden bull run of 2021 - and I can confidently say that era was unlike anything I've ever seen or probably will see again. Being in LA during that time was surreal - everyone wanted to learn about crypto and I found myself in this epic intersection between tech and culture in a way I could never have imagined. When it all came back to reality I was fortunate to be able to pursue my ambitions with music to their highest extreme. I started a fund, and then a record label - both geared at bringing artists onchain and connecting the two worlds together. As time went on - I found that the crypto part wasn't as captivating as it once was and instead I needed to figure out how to make music ownership viable in the absence of NFTs, memecoins or any other gimmicks that lacked longevity or substance beyond speculation. And that's what brought me to Tokyo - an innate feeling that the music scene here can be something to build a foundation on the back of. A place to build real community and culture and bring things onchain with the right ideals and values in mind. So here's to everyone that made LA so special. I will never forget this chapter and can't wait to start a fresh one. If you ever find yourself in Tokyo - hit me up and I promise I got a show for you that will blow your mind 🫡

this video is the CLEAREST explanation of how claude skills + AI agents work and how to use them most people set up an AI agent and wonder why it keeps disappointing them. the context window is everything context is what the model assembles before it takes any action. think of it like everything the agent needs to read before it does anything. the quality of what goes in determines the quality of what comes out. the models are genuinely really good right now. claude and gpt are exceptional. the variable is almost always the context you give them. 1. agent.md files are mostly unnecessary every single line you put in an agent.md file gets added to every single conversation you have with your agent. a 1000 line file is around 7000 tokens burning on every run. the model already knows to use react. it can read your codebase. save the agent.md for proprietary information specific to your company that the model genuinely cannot know on its own. 2. skills are the actual unlock a skill.md file works differently. what loads into context is only the name and description, around 50 tokens. the full instructions only appear when the agent recognizes it needs that skill. so instead of 7000 tokens on every run you have 50. and the agent stays sharp because the context window stays lean. the closer you get to filling the context window the worse the agent performs, same way you perform worse when someone dumps 10 things on you at once. 3. here is how to actually build a skill the right way most people identify a workflow and immediately try to write the skill. what you want to do instead is run the workflow by hand with the agent first. walk it through every single step. tell it what to check, what good looks like, what bad looks like. correct it in real time. once you have had a full successful run from start to finish, tell the agent to review everything it just did and write the skill itself. it writes a better skill than you will because it has the full context of what actually worked in practice not in theory. 4. recursively building skills is how you go from frustrated to reliable when the skill breaks, and it will break, ask the agent exactly why it failed. it will tell you specifically what went wrong. fix it together in that same conversation. then tell it to update the skill file so that failure mode never happens again. ross mike did this five times with his youtube report generator. it now pulls from eight different data sources and runs flawlessly every single time without him touching it. 5. sub agents are something you earn not something you set up on day one start with one agent. build one workflow. turn it into one skill. once that works add another. ross mike has five sub agents now covering marketing, business, personal and more. it took months to get there and every single one exists because a workflow proved it deserved to exist. the people who set up 15 sub agents on day one and wonder why nothing works skipped all the steps that make the thing actually run. 6. your workflow is the thing the model cannot get anywhere else the model has been trained on everything. it knows more than you about most things. what it does not have is your specific process, your taste, your way of doing things. that is what skills capture. that is what makes your agent actually useful versus a generic one. downloading someone else's skill means downloading their context onto your setup and it will not work the way you want it to because it was never built around how you work. this is the clearest explanation of how agents actually work i have heard. @rasmic runs this stuff every single day and the results show it. full episode is now live on @startupideaspod where you get your pods people charge for this sorta stuff i give away the sauce for free i just want you to win watch

Have you ever seen prediction markets visualized this beautifully

@sundarpichai @Google never been more excited than this.

Lots of love for Gemma 4! Team just told me it’s already had 10M+ downloads since last week’s launch. Gemma models have now been downloaded 500M+ times! Excited to see what you all are creating 👀

Introducing the Personalized Podcast skill: Turn anything into a podcast with 2 AI hosts, publish it as an RSS feed, and listen to the show in your favorite podcast app on the go I've been remixing my meeting transcripts into podcasts where the AIs "eavesdrop" on my conversation & comment on their impression of me. It's insane This is the age of "content for one" Link below

A year ago, I started designing four cornerstone programs for @fdotinc Off Season. Blueprint. Artifact. And Canopy. Canopy is 5 weeks for the most obsessed builders in software, hardware, and media. First time we're putting all three under one roof. - 100 teams at our campus in SF - 400 teams online - office hours + workshops - up to 250k in funding It's for the ones building in rooms where no one speaks their language. You know the ones. You might be one. Applications open for the next 48 hours. Reply with what you're obsessively building and I'll send you an invite.

@toriluoo @sorcejobs not in us.

a YC company with 650k downloads just asked me to find them more creators. @sorcejobs's current ugc creators are already going viral. now it's ur chance. ~$700/mo up to $1.3k/video in bonuses 30-60s videos scripts provided 🇺🇸 U.S. creators only (for now). limited spots. RT + drop your UGC account. I'll DM you!

i have lots of slots open on my calendar the next 2 days and I want to fill them! If you want to talk about working at a @speedrun 001 --> 007 company or our alpha fellowship - DM me i'd love to set up some time tomorrow or friday. in other words, if you are a person who wants to work for an @a16z backed startup, I may be able to help. you can also apply to our talent network: a16z-games.typeform.com/1337-talent?ut…

we made a based dashboard for builders grow your app, get rewarded dashboard.base.org

@trq212 cool stuff. LFG

I want to do some streams where I work with non-technical people using Claude Code to figure out how they might be able to improve their process. My feeling is that just a few tips could make a big difference in efficiency. Any mutuals interested?
