I think it would be infinitely better for an LLM to walk a user through the use of the formula in their specific use case rather than do it for them The one time I used it (via the Microsoft 365 Copilot), that's exactly what it did. It only created the table in the spreadsheet that I wanted and then explained how to do the formula, explained the bits and bobs of the formula, showed me the code and told me where to put it. Sure, if I was lazy, I'd just copy-paste without thinking, but the information was there. but that won’t sell as well because most people don’t want to learn to use a spreadsheet they just want to do a thing and move on to something else (...) with an asterisk and fine print stating that it’s for entertainment purposes only and that whoever isn’t liable for any false information At the same time, you could be arguing that calculators should be teaching people how to do maths, instead of just giving them the result, right? It's actually a bit similar to LLMs, because, well, if you don't know how maths and calculators work, you can get a result that's horribly wrong (try 3+2*3 on any simple calculator and you'll get 15). I just had my place of work upgrade me to Windows 11 this week (...) I was directed by Microsoft to download the “Office 365 Copilot” app which downloaded the office installer So, first of all, it sucks that your IT didn't have the tools to handle this for you in the first place. Secondly - that's just Microsoft being Microsoft. They love changing names and making things as confusing as possible. Although now Copilot is part of that app, when they originally introduced the new name, it was just a rebranded Microsoft 365 App. We were joking that it was done by some middle manager so he could boast that "100% of Office users now utilise Copilot". Last time I tried to use it I was given hallucinated nonexistant python modules and powershell commands that wasted my time I haven't yet seen an LLM that didn't invent PowerShell modules, although recently Copilot's been pretty good.

I can think of a third red flag but it's kinda just the first red flag again.

HMD feature phones are such a let down. The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don't make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe. The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset. At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.

This has to be a shitpost. Transportation of paper-stored data You can take the sheets with you, send them by post, or even attach them to homing pigeons

reminds me of the time when something with Amazon was Indian employees

the proper way is to group it as 1+(-2)+3 No it isn't. you can do it in any order You can do it in any order anyway left to right 1-2+3=-1+3=2 addition first 1+3-2=4-2=2 subtraction first -2+1+3=-1+3=2 right to left 3-2+1=1+1=2 What I meant with ““rule”” is the meme questions pray on people not understanding/remembering what the actual rules are And you showed that you were one of them. Every answer you got other than 4 was wrong, because you didn't understand the rules. spoiler alert: doing it in different orders never means add brackets to it. Addition first for 10-1+1 is 10+1-1, not 10-(1+1). See previous textbook example why “left to right” conventions exist They exist because people like you make mistakes when you try to do it in a different order. Either learn how the rules work or stop spreading disinformation. Well, you should stop spreading disinformation regardless.

The genre itself has become neutered, too. A lot of anime series have the usual "anime elements" and a couple custom ideas. And similar style, too glossy for my taste. OK, what I think is old and boring libertarian stuff, I'll still spell it out. The reason people are having such problems is because groups and businesses are de facto legally enshrined in their fields, it's almost like feudal Europe's system of privileges and treaties. At some point I thought this is good, I hope no evil god decided to fulfill my wish. There's no movement, and a faction (like Disney with Star Wars) that buys a place (a brand) can make any garbage, and people will still try to find the depth in it and justify it (that complaint has been made about Star Wars prequels, but no, they are full of garbage AND have consistent arcs, goals and ideas, which is why they revitalized the Expanded Universe for almost a decade, despite Lucas-<companies> having sort of an internal social collapse in year 2005 right after Revenge of the Sith being premiered ; I love the prequels, despite all the pretense and cringe, but their verbal parts are almost fillers, their cinematographic language and matching music are flawless, the dialogue just disrupts it all while not adding much, - I think Lucas should have been more decisive, a bit like Tartakovsky with the Clone Wars cartoon, just more serious, because non-verbal doesn't equal stupid). OK, my thought wandered away. Why were the legal means they use to keep such positions created? To make the economy nicer to the majority, to writers, to actors, to producers. Do they still fulfill that role? When keeping monopolies, even producing garbage or, lately, AI slop, - no. Do we know a solution? Not yet, because pressing for deregulation means the opponent doing a judo movement and using that energy for deregulating the way everything becomes worse. Is that solution in minimizing and rebuilding the system? I believe still yes, nothing is perfect, so everything should be easy to quickly replace, because errors and mistakes plaguing future generations will inevitably continue to be made. The laws of the 60s were simple enough for that in most countries. The current laws are not. So the general direction to be taken is still libertarian. Is this text useful? Of course not. I just think that in the feudal Europe metaphor I'd want to be a Hussite or a Cossack or at worst a Venetian trader.

I bet that information was already available to business owners. In other words, they totally knew it was you complaining about the toilet paper they used for example.
