This is a different project from https://spreadsheets-are-all-you-need.ai/index.html https://spreadsheets-are-all-you-need.ai/index.html ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39700256 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39700256 ) (might be interesting for another angle on it, doesn't look like it has much of a presentation beyond the README though.)

  I loaded it into Numbers (Apple's spreadsheet program) and changed the input. It recalculated in a few seconds (M1 16/512 Mac mini) but the output didn't change. It needs a deeper drive.

>> You might also be wondering if there is an excel or a google sheets version, unfortunately there isn't one yet. >> It is simply because the whole pipeline is too large and I need multiple tables to organize everything, and only numbers can do this. >> I will see if I can recreate this in excel in the near future. I am not familiar with Numbers. Can anyone explain what's missing from Excel that is coming in the way. I would love to see an Excel version. PS: I had implemented some classical computer vision demos in Excel [1, 2]. Excel worked surprisingly well for it. Hence am doubly curious.

  It’s possible to hold billions of rows in a single table inside a single table via power query

If you believe LLMs will result in agi consciousness, interestingly, you also believe there exists an (large) excel sheet that is conscious.

  I wonder what it would take to mathematically prove that consciousness can't be reduced to elementary math. Probably some kind of insane proof by contradiction.

The project links to [1], which is absolutely amazing as well. [1] https://bbycroft.net/llm https://bbycroft.net/llm
