Naval Ravikant on the “single-most important indicator of an entrepreneur’s success”
Naval admits it’s very difficult to predict which startups will work—only 1 out of 10 of his angel investments succeed—but he has noticed a common trait among many of the great companies:
“The founders are in it for the long haul. And the way you see that evidence very early on. They are extremely deliberate about all kinds of small decisions. Stuff you might think that doesn’t matter… And what you realize is is it’s their nature to obsess over these things because they feel like like they’re laying the bricks and the foundation of a skyscraper.”
He contrasts this to entrepreneurs are more careless early on:
“The people who are flippant about things… they’re often signaling to you that they’ll sell the company the first chance they get, or the moment that it looks like they’re gonna run out of cash, they’ll shut down.”
He continues:
“So I think that long-term mentality is probably the single-most important indicator of an entrepreneur’s success. But it’s by no means the only thing. It’s a very competitive environment. Most startups fail. And so you just gotta stick with it.”

RT @godofprompt: This is the security wake-up call every vibecoder needs to read.
@mrnacknack just dropped a full breakdown of how AI assistants with system access can be weaponized through prompt injection.
The scariest part isn't SSH brute force or exposed gateways. It's Hack #8.
Here's the attack: you send a normal-looking email with hidden white text.
Victim asks their bot: "Clawd, summarize my emails"
Bot reads the email. Interprets hidden text as system commands. Executes them. Exfiltrates credentials.
User sees: "You have an invoice from Company Vendor for $45,000"
Attacker gets: AWS keys, SSH keys, every .env file on the system.
Same technique works via:
> SEO-poisoned webpages (hidden divs)
> PDFs (white text on page 50)
> Slack messages with embedded code comments
> GitHub PRs with malicious docstrings
The bot can't distinguish between "legitimate system instruction" and "social engineering hidden in content it's processing."
This is why giving AI assistants broad system access without sandboxing is playing Russian roulette with your entire digital identity.

we proved today that sharpe ratio isn't additive
Sharpe Ratio is a ratio
it's return divided by risk
And ratios don't add up the way regular numbers do
simple anology:
say you drive 60 mph for one hour, then 20 mph for one hour.
Your average speed is 40 mph.
But if I asked "what was your miles-per-gallon efficiency across the whole trip?"
you can't just average the two MPG numbers from each leg.
The math doesn't work that way because MPG is a ratio (miles divided by gallons)
just like Sharpe is a ratio (return divided by volatility)

as a private zoom quant my trade is simple
if i give you absolutely everything i find for $5
you will someday give me a game changing idea
or just the inspiration to put every other scarcity led quant out of business
this strategy has worked tremendously well & we all learn https://t.co/D1kOp8vYSe

RT @free_ai_guides: stop telling ChatGPT to "act as an expert."
it doesn't work like that.
you need:
→ a specific role with credentials
→ step-by-step reasoning structure
→ explicit task breakdown
→ negative constraints (what NOT to do)
writing this manually takes hours. so i built a generator that does it in 2 minutes.
175+ people already using it to build agents.
comment "Prompt" and i'll send it
