Our Mission: Democratize Unstructured Data - Cryptographer, Adventurer Startup-er, Math geek, Engineer: BFTs & LLMs

Pinned

Cloud != single server != BFT/.. Expanded a bit on the comparison here:

I will just expand with some details to @bjoerntm's, and @HassenSaidi02 's points, as the devil is in the details. Context: When us few were first developing the consensus protocol/system at DFINITY, we went back and forth all these constraints and a number of tradeoffs. 1/10

Can quantum computers breaking cryptography? Here's one good summary if you haven't seen it. sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_landsc… It doesn't give a timeline. Estimating timelines is tricky—technically and more so socially. There's not much incentive for experts(or me) to say it wont happen

You don’t work with Donald Trump — only FOR Donald Trump. Looks like Harvard has chosen to surrender. Alan Garber must resign. An absolute failure of leadership that will have demonstrable impacts to higher education across our country. He should be ashamed. CALIFORNIA WILL…

2 years ago today, A16Z announced they put $100M into Pinecone, as everyone and their mother tripped over each other to invest in vector databases. Given how little standalone vector DBs are valued now, the hype cycle is wild to look back on. Quick timeline below: Late 2022:…

My main takeaways from Steve's journey with Pixar? 1) Success lives just beyond where most people quit. 2) Patience isn't a virtue when betting on talent, it's the business model. 3) True innovation means relentlessly pursuing something others will dismiss as crazy.

YC startups that base themselves in the SF Bay Area after the program become unicorns at a rate of 2.5x those that move elsewhere The causation effect is definitely not zero. Your ambition, knowhow and access to people is a function of your environment.

San Francisco is home to the most productive engineers in the world. SF engineers do 13.9 months of work in a year. Here are the fastest building cities, according to our data at Weave. Maybe @ycombinator has a point about building in SF 🤔

Holy cow! Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset. “I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok x.com/i/grok/share/W…

As a retired Amazon VP who experienced a 9082% increase in Amazon stock during my time, I am out of touch with many common life struggles. The SVPs and CEOs above me are often more so. Talking about wealth and it's impacts is a taboo subject most executives avoid. I'm going to…


Getting to simple is 99% perspiration. Greatness is a result of a lot of sustained passion from smart hard working people. Not a single day miracle. @CashBowie Michael says it right!

Simplicity isn’t the absence of clutter—it’s the result of being intentional. The greatest products and content are intuitive to use and effortlessly repeatable.

Trump axes Biden executive order 14087, which lowers drug prices. Day one and Trump is raising drug prices. I'm sure all of your favorite MAGA influencers and podcasters will call Trump out for such a disgusting betrayal! (just kidding they're all completely useless hacks sucking…


a) Obsess on finding what the 20% work is. b) What are the high impact tasks or techniques you are simply missing out? c) Delegate, delegate, delegate!

Focus on the 20% of things that drive 80% of the impact. Most people waste their energy on the 80% of things that produce only 20% of the impact.



Life is too short to do otherwise!

Do dope shit, with dope people.

The deprioritization of tweets with links in them is Twitter's biggest flaw. It bothers me more than all the new right-wing trolls. Trolls I'm used to, but what draws me to Twitter is to find out what's going on, and you can't do that without links.
