[Montreal Expos @Montreal_Expos]

The Montreal Expos are exiting the baseball space. During Q2 and Q3 2026, we will transition to acquiring high-performance GPU assets. This is all part of our long-term vision to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider.

[Repositioning Play @GoodGuyGuaranty]

Fette Sau was the first restaurant I went to when I moved to Williamsburg in 2007. My new roommate took me there as a welcome dinner. We waited in a long line (as one did back then).

It was the perfect embodiment of Peak Williamsburg.

how it feels to get into YC

[Benn Eifert 🥷🏴‍☠️ @bennpeifert]

The people wanted a covered calls / option selling mega-thread, a one-click response to all the charlatans out there trying to farm retail investors.

Systematically, blindly selling options is a BAD IDEA. Underperforms owning equities by a lot. Let's go through why and how.

@cfo_mm spoiler: they did not, in fact, read it

[Julian @Julian_Rowlands]

@cfo_mm in extreme cases, also results in not remembering *a single piece of information* from the deck/materials you sent 5+ days before the meeting, despite swearing up and down that they read it

[Julian @Julian_Rowlands]

@typesfast currently reading Empire of Pain (history of the Sackler family / painkillers in america) and it's incredible

@dropalltables preach!

[Julian @Julian_Rowlands]

@dropalltables love it. that approach has worked great for us.

kinda feels like self driving cars — the technology means you can change the driving paradigm (ex: safely go 200mph), but first you have to drive like a human being

[Sherwood @shcallaway]

@amasad A related principle: risk != danger

Some things that appear low-risk are in fact quite dangerous:
- Driving a car
- Working in big tech for 10 years

Some things are appear high-risk are in fact very safe:
- Taking a commercial flight
- Joining a startup
