Today we announced Fence’s $20M Series A, led by @GalaxyHQ and joined by @paraficapital & @crane_vc
We’re using it to rebuild the operating infrastructure for asset-backed finance: the systems that verify assets, enforce facility rules, calculate obligations, and move capital.
@trq212 thx for sharing!
at https://t.co/YyryvkdJhW we built on this pattern but hit a gap: PreToolUse → Skill only fires for model-invoked skills
when a user commands directly it bypasses the Skill tool and the hook never fires. any plans for a native skill invocation hook event?
no posteo mucho pero lo de la calidad de la red wifi "Browse and stream" de @Iberia es para no quedarse callado...
"and stream" a <2Mbps? de verdad?
Bonus 11. When you start to get depressed, ask yourself, "When did I work out last?"
When you don't feel like working out, the cure is to "just work out."
Tell yourself, "I will just show up," set the expectations low, get a good sweat, and the endorphins will 10x your mood.
Think of risk in terms of units
You need [x] units of risk to get [y] payoff
How do you come up with x and y? Great question. There are different ways to calculate this.
The easiest is on a relative basis between two investments.
The relationship between x and y determines the asymmetry of the payoff.
Two potential investment examples:
Investment A requires you to risk 5 units to gain 10 (10/5 = 2)
Investment B requires you to risk 2 units to gain 5 (5/2 = 2.5)
Investment C requires you to risk 1 unit to gain 2 (2/1 = 2)
So which is better?
- most prefer A to B as the max payoff is higher but fail to see the expected value of B is higher
- C is the same as A but requires you to risk much less and should be preferred especially when you think about the total number of risk units you have in your portfolio. A may be better ultimately if your estimate of risk units is off but that’s an error of outcome not so much process
- when collectively the market prefers A over B, it means market is more risk-seeking and that creates bubbles. Low interest rates will do that. Study the past 15 years
- doing this analysis requires you to think in probabilities and expected payoffs
- there are market conditions when you need to risk more units to get the same payoff. A lot of that is macro driven and I think developing a framework to assess that is essential
It comes down to this basic question:
are you willing to go further out in the risk curve to get a marginally higher payoff but the downside is exponentially higher?
Today that may be the difference between at 8% and 15% return (and what is required to get there) or the difference between a crypto major and an alt coin
Focus on risk units

One of the most soulful & enchanting pockets of the world.
It’s hard to do a place like this justice, but here’s my best shot:
