I wrote a 20,000 word Notion guide on Personal Finance for Startup Founders

Covers equity, fundraising, how to set up cap table, raising money, taxes, hiring & compensating your team, running finance, selling secondaries & exiting

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

America is lucky it’s not in a civil war right now, yet we are in a kind of cold civil war. What is this experiment we call America? Let us look back and remember who we are, and how our greatest leaders—like Abraham Lincoln—comported themselves in the face of civil war. We must realign ourselves with the founding spirit of our nation. Are we ready to reach across the divide? I am, and that is what my campaign is about.

Today, I’m launching Brilliant Minds, a new fund dedicated to investing in founders over 60. It’s a longevity intervention with a twist.

While many focus on drugs and novel technologies to combat aging, I've observed a significant factor in the decline of people's (brain) health: societal pressure that leads them to withdraw, despite being energetic and wise.

There's a substantial societal stigma that we need to address, and we require more tangible use cases to really move the needle.

My new fund focuses on entrepreneurs over 60 across various industries, not just in longevity. It's about investing in their broad experience and innovative potential.

The next unicorn will be built by a “retired” founder 🚀.

This launch doesn’t mean I’ll stop investing in younger founders. I'll continue to support them as an angel investor. 'Brilliant Minds' simply adds a new dimension to my investment portfolio, focusing on the unique potential of older entrepreneurs.

@VictorTaelin Functional medicine group is the way to go. Cleveland Clinic, perhaps. Or come to NYC.

a human infant requires about 93 kWh to make and a further ~15,000 to 'train' to age 18, while GPT-3 requires about 1,287e6 kWh to train, a difference of about 5 orders of magnitude.

you could make and train a hundred thousand people for one gpt3.

biology stays winning.

Today I'm excited to unveil Valar Atomics!

Valar is my master plan to make energy 10x cheaper in 10 years by pulling oil and gas out of thin air with nuclear fission.

This will untether energy from climate and politics, fuel American industry, and unlock a new era of growth

@gospelofchange If we don't like the relationship, how should we change money?

[Chris Larsen @chrislarsensf]

The last 3 years we’ve seen a rogue administrative state that needs to be held accountable for its actions – not just an investigation into the conflicts of interests that led to these baseless claims, but how the US actively demolished its global standing as the home for innovation, with thousands of jobs moving overseas.

Enough is enough.

[Li Jin @ljin18]

A useful lens through which to think about new social networks is: is it introducing a new feature, or creating a new network?

- Disappearing stories was a feature innovation
- Interest-based vs. friend-based social graphs was a new network

Finally wrote a README for HVM-Core!

https://t.co/Z8CrZe53MV

HVM-Core is a low-level compile target for high-level languages like Python and Haskell. It is then compiled to CUDA, letting us run basically *anything* on GPUs.

🚀 Octant is ready for takeoff! 🚀

We're super happy to announce the launch of our app - a platform for experiments in decentralized governance that reward active participation with $ETH. (1/9)

[Gnoman @gneversaygnever]

@jimWe've asked @CRYPTOFTHL for our reimbursement.

Looks like they don't have enough ETH to cover the 514,85€ we spent in total 🤯

Who in the ETH community can spread the word or make a donation?

You can find their ETH address here: https://t.co/UEjxLt1FaI (L2s also welcome)

I'm not warning about the switch to AI in the hope of averting it, but to warn the few people who care enough to save themselves, or their kids. Learn to use AI. It's a powerful technology, and you should know how to use it. But also learn how to write.
