As part of a corporate convention, I once saw Will.i.am try to DJ a set from his branded smartwatch [1]. It was probably the worst show I've ever been to. He might as well handed the AUX cable to my grandpa who can't figure out th

Kids shows teach lessons, but Bluey has all sorts of compassionate parenting lessons. I would love to be as good as a father as Bandit. My favorite scene is him assembling flat pack furniture without reading the instructions, proudly declar

ChatGPT does seem to have gotten better at math. It was pretty garbage at it about a year ago, and really easy to trick it so you could get some sweet "haha, LLM dumb content." Choose a random number between 100 and 200, divid

Certainly! Let me elaborate on the concerns raised by the triager This is typical LLM speak, it sounds like a robot butler. I don’t think I have encountered a single person who writes likes this. But it’s also got a weird 3rd person

Similar, low code is a bit broader and is usually associated with a business process like taking in a lead, providing a quote, or approving a transaction. Excel can do the calculations for these things but still requires a lot of human inte
