I still use excel to write programs. I use officescript and power query. I shy away from via but have also used it.. I’m not sure what your point is. The people stopping citizens’ development could ease off the job security lines and the deferral to lockdown

Grok doesn’t have video as far as I know. I don’t think it’s so absurd. I don’t know how you scale this. But it seems pretty straightforward.

Those are for video. AI Chat workflows use a fraction of the data.

Is that also what gave you the cancer?

All it takes is for the dot com of chatGPT to be blocked in my organization, and copilot has succeeded. Now we have a presentation from microsoft and half of their thinking problems didnt even work. Of course, i have used copilot chat extensively, and since the rollout of deep thinking, it has provided many benefits. Writing and editing workflows in excel or officesript, for instance. Custom JSON formatting in sharepoint. It has even made a regression model in an excel workbook. Takes knowledge to edit it, but it does get me there.

That answer is incorrect. Common law can only be created by courts.

What were they using for scheduling? Microsoft Outlook has a Tasks or Planner, or perhaps they were using Shifts in Teams. All of these are mini apps that are not useful and serve no benefit. If they just meant a calendar, I would assume that the new thing has a calendar. But I would agree that every company should provide some sort of scheduling tool

What if you have an excel workbook that relies on a bunch of custom formulas. I would be upset if this happened in my workplace. Datasets have been far easier to handle with lambda, vstack, byrow, and the rest. I would not like this move and would have to remain a holdout. That would also frustrate me because of the division.
