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." 💕💻

PySheets and @duckdb are close friends. See below how easy it is in PySheets to load a CSV into DuckDB and then emit a Pandas DataFrame. Try it here: https://t.co/B2W9HFy7dX

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!

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.
