the more time you spend reading, listening to podcasts, having fun with friends, etc. = less time indulging in thinking and entertaining meaningless thoughts of the past or future

I love @superanon because it gives the nerds a megaphone - only thing that matters is how good your content is

still a ton of whitespace around that particular idea imo - Reddit is the closest to have done this, but there's a lot more ways to do this

chat-based interfaces are a UX failure mode for most products

novel idea for me in this piece is the idea of text-based interface as the always-on compute layer

This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics.. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily. https://t.co/r1GGubcz8c

Whether you agree with tariffs or not (I think the *tariffs are always bad* perspectives are somewhat myopic), there are some things that have not been discussed widely that I found particularly questionable. 

- The EU is demoted to a third party for the US. It is no longer an ally and will be treated the same as adversaries when it comes to trade. The game theory case against the EU is much harder to make than against China. 
- The accounting for this is HIGHLY selective and intellectually misleading. The US has been flourishing economically in the last decade compared to EU member states. This is also because the US has been leading in software and digital services.  Adjust for (digital) services and the trade deficit between the EU and the US shrinks to merely 50B USD. But what if we take other costs into account? The EU also has to bear the majority of cost for migration (both in terms of climate but also conflicts) even though arguably both parties participated in the creation of the problem.

the point about accounting for tech/services revenue is particularly interesting

what I wonder is whether this is a willing stop to the pax americana policy (based on the system of economic and military alliances built by post-war US) or short-term strategy to force the fed to cut rates with the above being an unintended (but foreseeable) consequence 

even the most charitable interpretations of this whole strategy make it look myopic

In less than a year, the startup behind Cursor has sparked tech's buzziest buzzphrase—vibe coding—and seen its valuation go from $400M to $2.5B to possibly $10B.

It's one of the fastest-growing startups ever. @nmasc_ has the inside story for Weekend. https://t.co/E8RFrPempb

Cursor round closed — $625M at $9.6B post led by Thrive &amp; A16z. Accel is a new backer.

$200M ARR, up 4x from $2.5B round in November 2024.

ARR multiple constant from last round at 50x.

the right payment rails (crypto!) and incentives can unlock things that are true, beautiful, or both, but not yet public.

great content often sits in private until the economic model makes it worth sharing. Value capture matters.

good example is renaissance creativity coming in part from the patron model

don't ask it for feedback, it will absolutely cook you

it's a violent correction to the natural overeagerness of the models

The experiment has started. The time tomb has opened.
https://warpcast.com/~/frames/launch?domain=time-bomb-theta.vercel.app

The Rules are simple:
1. Deposit 1 USDC into the time tomb → you become the leader until someone else deposits 1 USDC and becomes leader!
2. The first deposit starts a timer of 24 hours, subsequent deposits extend the timer by 5 minutes.
3. When the timer hits 0 min & 0 sec, the final leader is decided. They can withdraw all deposits that accumulated in the time tomb.

fun concept, love to see more frames experimentation!
