If more people built stuff, rather than talking about building stuff or other people building stuff, we'd have more awesome stuff. 🤔

[Yambo @yambobee]

@superphiz Hell yeah

@hunterjisaacson One question:

How could you do this to the Monopoly Man? He can't even afford a pair of glasses and has to use a monocle instead.

I sentence you to pass go and not to collect $200!

Kidding of course. I just thought it was funny Monopoly was the next app. 😂

@romanbuildsaas Gojiberry. Let's do this!

@zoink @grahamparker @NotionCalendar @NotionHQ Probably my favorite interaction here ever

@snack_man 10000000% this

And this is why we love Vitalik.

Come for the revolution in how transactions are handled.

Stay for the Yu-Gi-Oh references.

One optimistic and still very-non-consensus belief I have about the far future of cryptography:

I think that there is a 33% chance that, for average real-world computation, there exist ways to implement all three of what I call the Egyptian God Protocols (SNARK, FHE, iO) with 1+ε factor overhead (meaning, for large enough instances, the added overhead of cryptographizing a computation becomes arbitrarily small compared to the base cost of doing the computation itself)

And a 60% chance that all three can be done with single-digit overhead (ie. <10x, measured in total cost of energy plus amortized compute)

I think there's a good chance we'll get one of these (probably SNARKs with single-digit overhead) by the end of this decade. After all, we're already there for specialized hash functions and for some LLM inference.

@Tristanrhee3 You don't.

And that's the feature, not a bug.

If you're obsessed with something that much that you're thinking about it all the time, it's probably a good sign actually.

[Yambo @yambobee]

@aliciakatz I know what you mean, haha.

Btw, is this the book?

@brendanjshort @clay @ENowoslawski Third!? What's that one? 😂

[Yambo @yambobee]

@brendanjshort @ENowoslawski Sup. Sounds cool.

[Yambo @yambobee]

@alexfmac @wincolladd Ah okay, interesting. I was going to say, the kosher meat would be one of your best bets.

[Yambo @yambobee]

@alexfmac Can't have a real technologist in the role because technologists are too cool with being direct. 😂

[Yambo @yambobee]

@eshita Make more side projects into main projects

Been doing that recently

More fun, and when you have more fun you can outwork anyone

[Yambo @yambobee]

@peterthekid Sounds interesting. Would love to hear more!

[Yambo @yambobee]

@MikeMcCormick_ Would love to hear more

[Yambo @yambobee]

@ashleybchae @hthieblot Hell Yeah, RuneScape

If you're not using new tools to create things, I have no idea what you're doing with your life.

[Yambo @yambobee]

I promise you, the people out there who don't use tech are still not going to build themselves tech products, even with AI.

It looks too daunting from the outside and the fear of failure is difficult to overcome.

[Yambo @yambobee]

@jeff_weinstein @stripe Would love to get some help on this!

[Yambo @yambobee]

For my @UseLandlordOps product, one of the tenants using it wasn't getting rent reminder emails.

His landlord messaged me, asking if they were being sent.

Emails were going out. I could see them.

The tenant had blocked the rent reminder address.

How to not pay your rent. 😂
