Mentirei se dicessi che non mi sono commosso. Fantastico! Complimenti all’autore del video.

Almost everything of value can be collateral. Most of it just isn’t...yet
Last week, Peter Thiel’s @foundersfund led a $5M token buy in @anvil_xyz.
The same week, @cryptosmiff sat down with Anvil founder @trspalding in Singapore for Conviction.

Very sorry to hear this news. 😥
I never had the chance to meet Margaret Hamilton, but her contributions to the flight software that got us to the moon are legendary. I love this image of her standing next to the printouts of the Apollo code.
We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
ALT Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.

there being exactly zero apps that tell you, real time, what’s going on socially in a major city is … insane.

1/6 Excited for the @GVteam to be celebrating 15 years but it would have been nice to see the actual founding story told vs the distorted version in the Fortune article. Here is my abbreviated version of the founding, lots of other fun details to save for another telling

A lot folks are negative on the application layer of ai. I keep hearing that the "LLM wrapper applications" will get disrupted by the LLM's.
I think you could argue that back in 2006, when HubSpot was founded and SaaS was exploding that all of us were "database wrapper applications." The industry blossomed by adding data, workflow, and deep domain expertise on top of those databases.
I think LLM wrapper application companies will thrive by adding data, workflow, and deep domain expertise on top of the LLM's.

We would not be a center without Ed Roberts, and hundreds if not thousands of former MIT students would not have started their companies if not for his leadership, inspiration, and mentorship. A true one of one. His impact will live on.
Over a remarkable seven-decade career at the Institute, Roberts was a prolific scholar and mentor who founded what is now the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, a unique resource that has guided thousands of innovators. @EshipMIT news.mit.edu/2024/professor-…
