And it will fuck up around half of even the simple formulas. This is really bad, and the idiots in charge should feel bad. Excel basically runs the world and they are about to fuck it up

LLMs lose context over a short session. They all have input limits. Very small input limits usually. Best it can probably do is suggest formulas for you based on your natural language, maybe some copy/paste. Which means it can beat a 9 year old, great news everyone! Or show a help article on pivot tables (which the help function already does!)

Excel is very simple to work with, hence its ubiquity. LLMs also get shit wrong about half the time, way more than half with difficult things ime. Meaning they cost experienced operators time, a few studies are showing this now with coding. And are expensive as fuck. And slow as fuck. And reduce capacity for learning. Meaning they actually cap what excel can achieve, as the user won’t grow at the same rate, renoving the one advantage excel actually has: the learning rate is phenomenal

The C-Suite which insisted on this integration is basically an subservient idiot themselves at this stage who doesn’t understand their product, their market fit, or their userbase. They should replace thenselves with an LLM

LLMs can’t count. Can’t add. Can’t deal with actually large datasets

How is excel a good fit for vibe-coding?

Nowhere close to any junior ime. Grads learn very quickly. Interns only job is to understand. Code academy career switchers understand requirements and will ask questions. Subservient AI does fuck all of any of those things

They are more akin to yet another Rapid Application Development wave imo. Go see how the previous iterations have done. Lots are still with us (rails ftw!). I’ll bet most will outlive LLMs

Have you tried to have a smart phone outside of Apple or Android? They are clearly operating as a duopoly at this stage, they need tackled

Anyone actually playing 7? I know of no one personally, and I’ve played them all religiously

How much will the fines cost vs paying these people I wonder? 200*25k is approximately £5m/annum. Come on £10m fine!

I’m also not saying LLMs and Markov Chains don’t have a use. Just it’s a dead end towards general artifical intelligence

Don’t be so sure. Very little of his net worth will be liquid. Meaning giving up a big chunk of something

They are basically just giant markov chains. Knock your heart out

You might be able to do mac address cloning for fiber ports, if you have openwrt or similar it usually offers it.

A firewall may not offer full routing and NAT though for ipv4 devices, or wifi if you need it, or ipv6, or many other features. I’ve also used a cable modem and stuck the router in the dmz which essentially makes it a passthrough device also in the past

Basically, play with it and good luck!

Xonotic still has a few servers running and 385 players yesterday

Me too. I don’t regret the Series X either, the SSD is great for online loading times and play

SSDs - they are very nice. Series S is very affordable too if you aren’t a disc gamer

Brew is shit. I’ve had to use it, and wouldn’t chose to ever again. 32gig of RAM? For professional work? What is this, 2009? 4 ports is good, and good to hear about the sd-card finally. And you’re supporting the mac mouse? With the charging port on the bottom?

You may think it fine. But for the money I think Macs are vastly inferior to a decent thinkpad, dell, or even HP

Lol, call me back when they support bsd jails. Or a five button mouse. Or a decent amount of RAM. Or a package manager. Or more than 2 ports. Or an SDCard slot

More facism from Trump. And he won the popular vote. Americans love facism

Nah, most of the banks solved this years ago already
