Seems like you could benefit from a bit more shrooms, to learn up take jokes about them a bit more lightheartedly ;)

Well along with Canada andd a bunch of countries in the Caribbean

lol no

Just downvote and move on if you don’t like it

How can we best influence our governments? I’m in DK btw

Holy shit that’s Lemongrab! Acceptable!!

That hit a bit too close to home. 😂

Yep, that’s true haha.

It’s perhaps not so much Excel, as much as it’s just the symptom of a lot of bigger issues: working without version control, without column validation or access control, limited documentation (not necessarily better in data warehouse but at least the functionality is easily accessible), limited automated testing, etc etc.

If only they could keep their data for themselves, then ok. but no no, we have to ingest it, and do work on top of it in dwh, and it just breaks so often due to a variety of different stuff.

Data (dwh) people hate Excel

Interesting, thank you for sharing!

I’m curious, what does the Bible say on “how to abort”?

Sounds cool!

Is it Android-only? Can’t find anything food related called broccoli on Apple app store unfortunately

Nope, why?

I look up recipes a lot, would love to know the actual cost of visiting a site, given all of the JavaScript and cookies, tracking, images etc that has to be loaded, that I don’t really care about

Good point!

Looks great too!! Have you been following a recipe you can share?

Aha I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying.

Actually for this specific context, there’s an easy solution: I reckon for llms self-hosting would be the way to go, if your hardware supports it. I’ve heard a lot of the smaller models have gotten a lot more powerful over the last year.

This is any company, government, or other organisation with +80 employees. The two other alternatives are

1. Have all data in Excel with no data governance, robust procedures, or trust in data, as the organisation grows in size
2. Use only external tools (which in turn are owned by organisations that work like I described in my parent comment)

I’d love to hear of there’s other ways of doing this stuff that actually works, but so far I just haven’t experienced it in my career yet.

Not total bullshit, but it’s not great for all use cases:

For coding tasks the output looks good on the surface but often I end up changing stuff, meaning it would have been faster up do myself.

For coding I know little about (currently writing some GitHub actions), it’s great at explaining alternatives, pros and cons, to give me a rudimentary understanding of stuff

I’ve also used it to transcribe tutorial screencasts, and then afterwards having a secondary LLM use the transcription to generate documentation (include in prompt: "when relevant, generate examples, use markdown tables, generate plantuml etc)
