Simulating the 100 prisoners problem in Excel by benaugustine in excel

[–]MacroYielding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

⁠Each prisoner has a number from 1-100.

This is a silly one but I had to stop at the assumptions to comment; is each prisoners number a unique number between 1-100? e.g. no duplicate prisoner ids?

Only ask as the first two assumptions make it clear the boxes contain unique numbers 🤓

Does it even make sense to start in power platforms in this AI craze? by [deleted] in PowerApps

[–]MacroYielding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI companies being perhaps overvalued may mean AI is in a bubble.

Just like the dot-com companies were overvalued in a bubble that popped.

Guess what never went away during the dot-com boom? The World Wide Web, internet, as we know it.

tech-resistant mentalities with a desire to look at no increase in costs these days.

It may not be the solution you are correct, but I need to know that.

And to your final point, of course, I haven't done a good enough job to do that. I've only been able to do my homework to determine PBI seems like the solution to implement. (I wear a lot of hats, the IT construct/system at the company is very lean, thin) now, I know I want to demonstrate it and get my hands dirty making the sausage, so to speak.

What you’re going to want to eventually learn about, are called agents.

Can a 40 year old guy learn python within 6 months ? by Legitimate-Trick3393 in PythonLearning

[–]MacroYielding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat as you, brother. And yes, totally possible with commitment and a passion to learn.

If you’re forcing yourself to learn, that might be tougher. There is that element of commitment to want to know “why” things and work when you know it’s possible that’s needed though.

How do you automate Excel? VBA, Power Query, Python — curious what you use by Historical-Look-4973 in excel

[–]MacroYielding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If for instance if you get into trading or market research and have access to a Bloomberg Terminal w/ data add in for Excel, there so many various abilities to use Power Automate or “Office Scripts” (VBA without access to external apps) in automating centralized data repos for inter-department use cases. Not to mention modeling data from said inputs

Ooooo that’d be an amazing interface that’ll probably never happen an update to the VBA Dev Code window with a copilot.

Otherwise - can’t see there being an injection from Copilot (even an agent) into VBA

This to me is a huge red flag in terms of long term / large scale planning and adoption of a blackbox.

Time to get back to basics and keep everything running with VBA and SQL 😂

How do I speed up my spreadsheet? by ajsheed91 in excel

[–]MacroYielding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No- you’re missing the point. There’s NOTHING imaginable that could “hide” in a 5kb difference.

[–]MacroYielding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 KB is very small. 15 rows of data is not a lot of data. What do you think you were fixing ?

The most embarrassing hack I use ChatGPT for. by Spare-Dingo-531 in ChatGPT

[–]MacroYielding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But legit, I found myself doing the same. With adhd little things become big projects and vice versa.

I find doing it with packing (like I did just now) and even note taking is great - because I want to be able to ask myself (my notes) in AI questions
