1/ Today @stripepress is releasing the first two mini-documentaries in a series we’re calling Tacit.

They’re vignettes of craftspeople who provide a pretty compelling answer to the question, “after AI, does mastery still matter?”

This episode features Christophe Laudamiel, master perfumer at Osmo. Christophe is the creator or co-creator of dozens of scents, most notably, Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie Fierce, and Tom Ford Amber Absolute.

We spent a week with Christophe, following him from his office, to his home (which too, looks suspiciously like an office), observing him as he built fragrances essentially from scratch, isolated problematic notes (TIL: certain fragrance notes, when put together, can produce an unfortunate ‘wet dog’ smell), and even discovered new molecules.

Christophe is an archetype of individual we’re obsessed with: *he’s* obsessed with mastery for its own sake. For the past 30 years he’s been at the forefront of perfumery, and now he wonders if and how computers can augment his craft.

@ArDeved @AravSrinivas @ArDeved what was the stripe issue ooc?

[Emily Sands @emilygsands]

Our internal LLM tool, built last March, allows Stripes to safely experiment with LLMs.

With 3K Stripes using the tool weekly and over 700 shared prompts, the tool is reshaping how we work and build for our users.

We shared more with @bentossell

microsoft, and particularly azure, don’t get nearly enough credit for the stuff openai launches. they do an amazing amount of work to make it happen; we are deeply grateful for the partnership. 🙏 they have built by far the best AI infra out there.

[David Singleton @dps]

I enjoyed speaking to @emmetjryan at @businessposthq about all things @Stripe at the @DubTechSummit last month. We really are still in the early days of Stripe, and we're looking for more builders to come help us! https://t.co/BbQXzCEFI0

A 🧵 exploring gender differences in education. Nationally, girls do better, are more likely to go to Uni, but are less likely to do STEM subjects. What causes these differences?

First 4 studies on parenting, second 6 on schooling. Strap in, some of these findings are wild…

1/x Yesterday we had our 1st HER+Data event of 2022. About 30 folks joined for our lunch time event to hear talks from 3 amazing women working in the field of #datascience @McAuleyCiara1 @SophDaly and @ruthygarcia. Thanks to all our attendees and especially our speakers!

[David Singleton @dps]

I love this profile of our colleague @leleportella who moved to Dublin a few years ago and joined @stripe as a software engineer. We will be hiring lots more engineers in Dublin so I hope Letícia's story inspires more folks to make the move to Ireland ☘️https://t.co/cUddZggWlS
