Founders could either get paid through secondary as well or through new employment agreements. Secondary is much more tax efficient, otherwise it doesn't really matter

i thought so at first, but I did some digging and changed my mind. it's possible the following is how it goes: - secondary transaction with the preferred shareholders (VCs) at some…

I don't think you can treat owners of the same shares differently in the way this is suggesting. The VC shareholders and the employee shareholders are probably on equal footing and…

Starship + Ghostty has been an awesome (and fast) experience.

Kind of both? "While Ive and LoveFrom will remain independent, they will take over design for all of OpenAI, including its software. Altman said his first conversations with Ive we…

Stats + Hidden Bar + Brave are my first 3 downloads on any new Mac

seems too small. where do the passengers go?

Especially when you consider all the tax affordances related to owning real estate vs. equities.

Obvious grifty nonsense.

So exciting! We'd be walking amongst our GAI brethren this very day if it weren't for the computational limits of those pesky RNGs!

out of curiosity, why is this a "terms" and not a license? I'm used to reading and understanding the software as coming with a license to use it. Do the terms give us license to us…

I wonder if this will help with the iOS app's battery drain issues. VPNs of any kind come with a battery penalty, but some of these issues might have exacerbated that

That's a strange interpretation of a new upstart utility pricing itself out of competition.

Dr. Clark is pretty active on Reddit. He's helped me process astrophotography data in the past, particularly when using DSLRs http://reddit.com/u/rnclark

OK I lied and opened the article: "FX swap markets, where for example a Dutch pension fund or Japanese insurer borrows dollars and lends euro or yen before later repaying them, hav…

Calling the total notional value of a pile of swaps "debt" is really misleading. If you and I do $1m in fx swaps, in no sense do either of us owe each other $1m. Currency swaps set…

I think what you're describing is nonlocality? It's well-described by quantum mechanics, which sits on top of regular old continuous spacetime. Is that not the direct mapping you'r…

I think the point of that saying is that when you get fooled a second time you have nobody to blame but yourself
