The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the Amsterdam Startup Meetup. It was packed, with people even standing outside in the cold. Cool!

"@Sourcegraph's use of Gemini 1.5 long-context models drastically reduced the overall hallucination rate (the generation of factually incorrect information). The hallucination rate decreased from 18.97% to 10.48%, a significant improvement in accuracy and reliability." 💕💻
🤝 We teamed up with @Sourcegraph, the creators of Cody AI, to see how long context improves their AI coding assistance. Cody's performance with Gemini 1.5 Flash's 1M context window saw improvements across key benchmarks. Explore the results → goo.gle/3AmlylP

At #PyBay 2024, I joined @b_smoke to talk about #PyScript. Around minute 23, I demo #PySheets to show the power and flexibility of #PyScript, #PyOdide, #MicroPython, and #Wasm. You, too, can run your Python code in the browser. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=xjmfeofz…

local-first development is one of the key parts of the Small Data Manifesto. @laffra shared why that's important in the context of his project PySheets.app!

Don't miss the 6th episode of our interview series! 🙌 gotointerviews.isaqb.org In this video @laffra explains why he thinks communication skills are even more important for developers than their actual code. He also reveals how to get promoted at Google and other big tech companies. 😁 Stay tuned for the next interviews that will be released every Friday! 🙃 #isaqb #interview #speakerinterview #interviewseries #ChrisLaffra #softwarearchitecture #GOTOAmsterdam #GOTOConferences

PySheets now runs entirely on your own device. It has a small web server, but that is only to serve up the content. Your sheets run and are stored entirely in your own browser sandbox. Nothing is stored or sent to a server.
