No more using fuzzy string matching to dedupe addresses and still missing a good chunk of them! Say hello to Stable Address Keys πŸ‘‹

Happy Daylight Savings Weirdness Time, especially to my fellow Europe founders with US/Canada customers!

Until the end of March, there’s temporarily one hour less of a time difference πŸŽ‰

Haha yeah! I’m on an adult trampoline and tumbling team

Anyway, I post this bc most people think it is a sport only for kids. It was for a long time, but not anymore!

The adult gymnastics community is awesome, and I’d be happy to help you find a local class.

Whether you’ve never done a handstand or used to be competitive, you’d be welcomed

Note for the gymnasts: yes I am aware the back handsprings are way too high and that I didn’t set properly for the tuck. I don’t normally do that! πŸ˜‚ Normally the bhs are done better and I do a layout. But I’ve got a bad cold at the moment and was a bit off, honestly not sure how I pulled it off tbh

πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ Every year in gymnastics, my goal is to show a harder tumbling pass than the previous year.

I didn’t think I would this year, as I spent the whole fall out with back issues and only started training again in Dec.

But I did it β€” added a back handspring to my pass! Makes me happy

Summary:  Users choose AI to explore and synthesize information; but they rely on traditional search when accuracy and trust are critical.
Users are increasingly turning to generative AI (genAI) for information-seeking tasks β€” but not uniformly. In a recent study, we observed how people chose between AI chatbots and traditional search for real tasks. Users turned to AI when they started with vague ideas, juggled multiple requirements, or combined information from many sources. They used traditional search when they needed accuracy, control, and trusted sources.

I uploaded some of my past talks to Claude and asked it to analyze them so I can understand, structurally, why they worked. The analysis?

"Your comedy voice is warm chaos...genuinely enthusiastic and slightly out of control"

so I'm basically the stage equivalent of an empty-the-fridge stir fry
