Some news! I'm joining @a16zcrypto as Communications Partner. Crypto was an unlikely place to start building a comms career in 2014. More than a decade later across exchanges, institutions, defi, L1s/L2s, and more the work still feels early. That path makes this next step particularly meaningful to me. I've admired the a16z team for a long time, and I'm grateful for the chance to work with partners & founders building what comes next.

We’re about to see a fascinating case study in perps and tokenized stocks v. traditional after-hours and overnight trading.

If your story is good, you probably won’t need to follow up with a reporter. If you think your story is that good and they’re missing it, you bet bits of your reputation with every follow-up and hard pitch of meh announcements.
To my friends in the PR industry: Please stop following up. There is no need to follow up. Really. I am begging you not to follow up.

A treasured (and hilarious) reply from my first month in PR. I stopped pitching junk like it was gold, and focused on making myself and my clients useful as sources.

This is an incredible opportunity. @a16zfrontier research has been a launchpad for so many incredible researchers, engineers, builders, etc.
We're now accepting applications for research interns at @a16zfrontier, for summer '27 in NYC! Application deadline is Nov 20th. You'd be working with me @skominers @SuccinctJT @ittaia @PGarimidi @jneu_net @ErtemNusretTas, as well as other interns, visitors, and our advisors (such as @danboneh). Our interests are broader than ever---ambitious undergrads with a keen grasp of emerging technologies, grad students looking to transition to building and entrepreneurship, as well as PhD students pursuing a more traditional academic career. Research areas of interest include AI and machine learning, agentic commerce, cryptography, security, distributed computing, hardware design, economics (micro, macro, and empirical), energy, material science, biology, incentives, quantitative finance, market and mechanism design, foundations of computing, and pure mathematics. For more details and to apply, see jobs.a16z.com/jobs/andreesse…

This Head of Comms role at @Morpho is an amazing opportunity to expand the function, work closely with the founders, and shape how a new generation of financial infrastructure is understood. morpho.org/jobs/ashby-head-o…

RIP to a legend. Top-2 all-time Patrick with St. Patrick (Patrick Henry is third in the definitive Patrick rankings).

1/ Today we’re releasing Aerie: fast post-quantum signature aggregation, using lattice-based SNARKs for lattice-based Falcon signatures. On a laptop (CPU only), it aggregates roughly a full Ethereum slot’s worth of signatures (32,768) in 0.65 seconds.

Realizing almost 24 hrs later I said great twice, which is horrible writing, but I wouldn't mind the teams being double great.
What are some great teams, vendors, freelancers, etc. who do great work with product/company launch videos?

when arXiv reputation system to put research from frequently-cited authors to the top of the review queue?
arXiv just announced a limit of two papers per submitter per calendar month. But what it needs to do is economize on moderation—not on scholarship. As a market-design scholar and arXiv contributor of almost 20 years, I think this policy confuses the two. 🧵
