Hear me out. HP should use Humane acquihired people to put AI onto a typewriter 👀

Now that we’re safely back, I can complain. The messiest air travel experience I’ve had in my entire life this past week. Two overnight stays in Miami against my will, fuel leak on our plane, the CBP agent on the ‘express lane’ making 5-minute small talk with every person…

We are visiting in-laws. Took a sunset walk, saw a bat. 10 minutes later… No one: … My husband: So I’m reading a research paper on bat sightings in this region….

Poor Valuev has been all over socials this week like he hadn’t been the best boxer in the world 20 years ago 😅 what a way to get rediscovered in the age of social media.

Something something if two ETL tools are writing into the same schema then the data will never be stale. Ask me anything about strategies for bulletproof data quality. Fml 😅

Guilty

Bowerman pros are now part of Swoosh TC. All Nike distance athletes have access to Swoosh TC even if they have own individual coaches… tldr Fisher is basically still at Bowerman. Big day for @predamame.bsky.social

Is Jenna Prandini now training at Altis? 👀

This is an interesting finding: people who use AI a lot can identify when AI has been used by others. So, if you're a college professor, time to start really playing with these models.

Amazing things unfolding on LinkedIn. Avinash Kaushik penned an ‘A/B testing is dead’ essay with some valid points but a very narrow definition of A/B testing as CRO, Ronny penned a debunk amply peppered with ‘that’s not been my personal experience’…

Chef’s kiss

In the meantime, this is me selling an old crib for $40

Ah fun. This is my former state senator aka one of the most hated people in the neighborhood. Incredible consistency, very impressive.

Not Calm app ending a 10-minute serendipity meditation with a story about Larry Page meeting Sergey Brin 😭 just like that I am jolted back into the stressful world of tech instead of being nice and sleepy 😭

Even for experienced folks coming of grad school, a lot of US employers don’t care about your exp abroad. I came here with 6 years of exp and having done World Champs and gotten one masters already - my first job post US masters was a minimum wage job at ICC organization committee

It is only Jan 3 and a stakeholder is already trying to pitch me on shifting only a tiny little portion of our billing to a stripe competitor that doesn’t even have a stitch or a fivetran connector. Nuh uh, the roadmap has been printed and laminated and sent to the board with a carrier pigeon 😭😭😭

2024 tried me in various ways and I’m sure 2025 will try me as well, but there were some highlights too: 🥰 seeing my mom for the 1st time since 2021 🎤 joining choir and doing 2 shows 💍🇫🇷🇬🇧 seeing my bff get married (+taking kid to Europe for the wedding) 🧒 🤯 watching my kiddo grow into a big kid

An ice cream truck just rolled by on our Brooklyn block on this fine December 29th 😂

Oh to be the data scientist who determined probabilities for the Whack It game at Dave & Busters 😭

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

The fact that this is NYC DOE policy too doesn’t even fit in my brain.

Came here to check if @ryxcommar.bsky.social is aware of Google docs killing DocuSign 👀

Got 2 years added to the original case for falsifying documents. Lysenko walked so Katir could (not) run!

Ok - what are the vibes re: Databricks Series J? What are the vibes around Coda being acquired by Grammarly? I heard they were working on maybe getting acquired by Snowflake instead 👀 what a day!

The way I gasped when they introduced Cobie Smulders character in the latest episode of Shrinking

Gout Gout is definitely drawing the “next Bolt” comparisons rightfully

I hit a 16.9 on my 100m repeats in 20-degree weather. Was channeling my inner Gout Gout if you know what I mean (mostly just having tailwind for once 😂).

The best Christmas present this year - a grocery store with fresh produce (and large ice cream section) opening 2 blocks away from our place, open 7 days a week from 7 am. My life is now complete 🥰

This is so true! And there is also a lot to unpack because it is no secret that the influence can belong to folks based on tenure, personal relationships, gender, title, rather than being effective so there can be a lot of uphill battles to fight.

My personality in a nutshell

Ooooof only one female track host (out of 8) for Data Council.

Just found a piece of janky code from before my time at bubble that was used for a single purpose - to report a number to the board once a quarter. Wrong number for 8 quarters. Might have to quit in shame

My best (and only) Black Friday purchase. Immediate quality of life improvement. It’s been so dry in NYC + radiator heat, we’ve been all having nose bleeds. This thing is an absolute terminator.
