codex power-user best practices:
- a few different "pulse" threads that run every morning to check the status of stuff i care about, e.g. proof metrics, all company meetings, etc
- a "log" thread for ongoing, everyday activity i want to track. for me that's my "writing log"—want to track what im writing about, and working on from piece to piece
- "inbox" thread which gathers all of my emails right now, but eventually will pull in all of the main important things from each "pulse" thread
- "router" thread which knows about all of the other threads, and is also hooked up to my email to push emails into each thread appropriately
This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore.
Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work.
Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor.
Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms.
Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed.
Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto.
Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to.
Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do.
In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.
@0xSero what’s the most valuable subscription to spend 100$ on these days? i’ve tried codex after long time of claude and it blown me away. it got me thinking: “what am i missing out on?”
@rezoundous it would be nice to have a clear bar like anthropic does at least. because it’s very hard to actually observe what you are doing and how much you are actually spending
apparently you cannot track your codex usage from pi? funny. anthropic makes it very clear how much you spend and how much is left. oai hits you with a bus of: "you have no more tokens, come later loser"
@lelouchdaily meh, it’s kinda okay i guess. better than half of the self improvement crap out there. just a simple guy telling about his struggles and how he overcame them. definitely read at least one time to know how ugly life can get and how we have capability to beat the darkness
@bedesqui@theo gotta read about syncthing. why not something dumb and simple like rsync + cron? are you not scared about leaking something secret with automatic sync?
