Over the past week, @arcinstitute published three new discoveries that I’m very proud of. • The world's first functional AI-generated genomes. Using Evo 2 (the largest biology ML model ever trained, which Arc released in partnership with @nvidia in February), Arc scientists…


How popular were the miners' libraries? Where they existed, what fraction of miners were active participants?

Trick-or-treating. My parents, who have been living in the same suburban home for over 40 years and thus have longitudinal data, report that they don't get nearly as many trick-or-treaters on Halloween as they used to pre-covid.

Maybe a very prosaic observation, but I've been reflecting on just how much the pandemic changed the world in ways that are completely unrelated to the pandemic itself. I think I've underestimated it 'till now. In a recent interview, I was struck by the comment that so many of…



What’s the best thing written about why the remarkably vigorous and inventive France of the 70s and 80s (TGV, Minitel, Ariane, Rafale, Concorde, the world’s preeminent nuclear grid…) has not been nearly as visible in the 21st century? What went wrong?

Stripe now makes it very easy to handle billing for tokens. Get in touch if you'd like to try it out.

Previewing a new @stripe project – billing for LLM tokens. You ship while we: * auto update model prices as they change * enforce your markup % with usage based billing * auto record usage via a LLM proxy: Stripe’s (new!), @OpenRouterAI, @cloudflare, @vercel, @helicone_ai 🧵

Education stagnation: Only 3 states have fully bounced back in both math and reading since the pandemic: Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Just 6 of 23 states beat 2019 math levels, and only 4 of 20 exceeded 2019 ELA levels. The recovery gap remains wide. Grateful for this…

Very impressed by @supabase's growth. For new startups, they seem to have gone from "promising" to "standard" in remarkably short order.

Welcome Dankrad Feist to Tempo. Few have done more to shape the core architecture of blockchain systems like Ethereum. We’re excited for him to bring that same rigor and thoughtfulness to optimizing real-world payment flows.

I am excited to announce that I will be joining Tempo. This last year has been a turning point for crypto, where we have finally seen the outlines of our vision being materialized. While payments used to be front and center in the early days of crypto, I see a special opportunity…
