And then putting the shortfall into the industrial market, which is an important fact when countering the idea that Pi's aren't used in the industrial market.

Spreadsheets generally are a useful tool, no matter if it's Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets. There's a sweet spot where the data isn't so complicated that it justifies a full database and programming language.

There is a point, though, where you need to admit the dataset and your manipulations of it have gotten too big. If you were wondering who was excited about the Excel row limit going from 16k to 1M back in 2010, the answer is professors of Economics. This should tell you a lot.

There are tons of them in the industrial market. The entire shortage of them was from prioritizing the industrial market.

I had a 370Z. Basically the same chassis with a bigger engine.

Feels like sitting in a bathtub. It's got a heavy ass flywheel that makes the V6 feel as smooth as a V8, but with predictable effects on responsiveness. You can cut the fly weight in half and it's still perfectly good to run on the street without issues.

I traded it in for an Miata NC and never looked back. Sure, the Z has more power, but it doesn't make good use of it the way a Miata does.

There are amoebas that reach 5mm in length.

IIRC, there are limits on how big they can get based on how far RNA can travel after copying DNA.

Mostly, yes, but the fact that we can't definitively say "yes" is a problem.

Might be the most interesting thing Nissan has developed in two decades.

For end users, sure. It's specifically designed as a lower level interface that's harder for developers to implement.

That might actually be a good test for managers who think coders can be replaced by this. Have them try to make a working version of Pong using AI prompts.

Just can't get away from that Yahwist propaganda.

Can I get one of them invites?

It's a problem with the gpg ecosystem. No matter what code is actually responsible, it prevents us from using it in practice. We're not going to switch our whole email system and clients just for this.
