An example to show how insane this is: You're a founder and you start a company. You own... let's say 30% of it. Everything is booming, you raise a round that values the company at at $500 million. You now personally owe $37.5 million in taxes. This year. In cash.

The leaked Google memo on their lack of moat over open source models is looking more prescient given today's Llama 3 release. semianalysis.com/p/google-we-ha…
The craziest LLaMA 3 reveal: The 400B+ version of the model is **on par with Claude 3 Opus**, and it's still training. Soon, we'll have a better-than-Opus, fully open-source model. The implications are huge.

Listening to the All In Pod and hearing them say on the one hand we're gonna have AGI in five years, and then on the other hand we should be really worried about copyright. Guys... there's no copyright issues in Star Trek.

this co gives me a bad feeling. i think it’s because good quality new physics usually involves grinding away at a theory, trying to disprove it as much as possible. meanwhile a VC backed company is expected to exhibit success after success, proving just how right they were.
Exclusive first look into our superconducting fab and lab where we build and test our first thermodynamic devices.
Other option would be too logical...address over spending. Focus on policies that stimulate growth. Which gives us bigger pie to tax.
As history will show, when we reduce incentives to long term growth, we actually harm our future tax base (less growth, smaller pie), which means higher taxes don't actually get us enough revenue (overall pie shrinks), which means those taxes on rich people like me (which I can…
So we spend & stimulate too much, creating a debt problem + inflation, then because of inflation we need to raise rates, which causes debt problem to get even worse (debt more expensive to service), which we then tackle by raising capital gains taxes which reduces long term…

Best ZIRP era exits, ranked: 1. Delaware force-feeding Twitter to Elon for $44B 2. CRM buying Slack for $27B as it’s being commoditized 3. SQ buying Afterpay for $29B. Post, SQ briefly worth less itself 4. Johnny Boufarhat, CEO Hopin selling $250M. Hopin was liquidated for $50M
The euphemism treadmill is retarded; based men and women everywhere shall ignore it going forward.
In late 2009, NPR ran a very effective effort to vilify the word “retarded” and outright ban its use from the lexicon. It was slowly building steam through the Associated Press the year before and following NPR’s efforts, the word was effectively purged from the mainstream…

If you use Stripe I recommend turning on Stripe Radar for Fraud Teams ($0.02 per transaction) and then adding this rule. If someone raises a chargeback it will block that card forever. I got 2 chargebacks for the same card today grrrr
@SobonBet Every city on earth has room to build up (like Austin is doing)
@lukewarmweeb A 12% decrease in rents actually helps hundreds of thousands of renters and helps reduce displacement and homelessness compared to what would be happening if no housing would be built
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
