There is a lot to like here. It can be a nice stack when combined with async/falcon and viewcomponents, at least where you don't need a lot of client-side state and browser API usage (canvas/usermedia etc) where javascript-first is a better approach, or a lot of number crunching, for which Python is better.

That's just Play Store. It's easy to publish APKs on Github releases like any other OS.

AFAIK, Apple took away those slots when Mac minis transitioned to Apple silicon. Attempts to replace SSD with re-soldering have not been successful.

It does not have access to the Excel app. You may be able to generate the .xlsx file using python libraries but you would need to run the python code on your own. ChatGPT can run generated code, which is probably why it works there.

Strict hierarchies are indeed too rigid. What about using a tag-based file manager like TagSpaces (which is free and open-source)?

Try dropping him in one of these math discord groups (for eg: Summer of Math Exposition)? Teens care a lot about social approval and seeing so many people having fun with math might help.

Corporations did that, not humans.

No, "silver medal" is defined as a range of points to be earned in the allotted time (4.5 hours for both papers of 3 problems each).

Are you saying that Anti money laundering rules should be scrapped?

One improvement of the first "super-naive" approach is to break down the state into a whole hierarchy of files, rather than a single file. This helps reduce (but not eliminate) conflicts when multiple clients are making changes to different parts of the state.

You have only tested the current "FREE" AIs, right? How do GPT-4 or Perplexity Pro work on the very same tests?

Thanks for building this as open-source!

How is it different from CSVFiddle (which is also based on DuckDB-wasm, I think)? Ability to have multiple tables loaded and running join queries against them would be crucial.

Not if the minority opinion is right. The ground truth matters.
