If you have the choice to be either: A) really good at math B) really charismatic C) really tall I would recommend you choose option C.
@john_c_palmer don’t forget extremely tall!

Proud to be a venture partner with Compound 🫡 If you’re raising for something cool in crypto or AI, reach out to me; would love to chat.
The deployment/pacing for @CompoundVC funds have been some of the slowest in all of venture over the past decade (~5 years each). We closed fund II in early 2021, sat on it until September 2021 when we called our first capital (20% of fund), and then barely invested from then

i'm 95th percentile math (800 math SAT, but would never in a million years place in IMO). it's gotten me basically nothing in life compared to being well socialized and somewhat charismatic.
@lisatomic5 If you're like IMO medalist good you can probably find a good life in either a tech company, a quant shop or a math department even if you're very socially awkward. But IMO medalist level is several steps beyond merely testing well in Pre-K. I don't think being 95th percentile

Having a good hair day in Arizona is like bowling a strike with the bumpers up. It feels good, but it’s not impressive. Don’t get too cocky about it.

Anyone who’s worked on UX knows how insane of an advantage it is that Zohran’s name is listed first, and how big a disadvantage it is that Cuomo is on the 2nd line.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani listed twice on the ballot for today’s NYC Mayoral Election. 92% chance he wins.

Give your company a good name. One of the highest leverage decisions you’ll make.
at risk of stating the obvious I think polymarket has the best name in prediction markets by an order of magnitude obviously a great product but ideas spread via language and a great name does a massive amount of lifting
