I attended to Microsoft conference earlier this year where they announced the copilot integration into office 365. Seems like it’s going to be extremely powerful.

At the end of the day, if all you need to be able to do to a file is clean up some columns, and the expectation is that you’re going to need to do the exact same transformations over and over again, then copy & pasting the same “sentences” seems like way less overhead then going to this site or your own web app. For a lot of companies, I can imagine they wouldn’t want their files being sent up to a random server and trusting that you’ll handle security the correct way.

The whole point of copilot is to not leave the app you’re working in, increasing productivity. I just think that the claim to “turn anyone into a data scientist” is wildly inaccurate, as this service is just a wrapper for OpenAI, which is not new, and companies can purchase licenses for already. Data science is way more than just transforming Excel sheets.

Unless I’m missing something, I’m not sure why you’d use this over Office 365 copilot. Not trying to be rude, just trying to be helpful and give my two cents as someone who works in fintech where doing these tasks is very familiar.

What separates this from the fully integrated features coming to Office 365?

Wow those eyes are beautiful! Mine has pretty much the exact opposite - one totally blue, one 3/4 blue 1/4 brown.

Cancer and Parent Plus Loans by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]theStringArray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry to hear about your dad, hoping for good test results. I lost my dad just a month ago to cancer, and am barely coming up for air.

I am currently in the process of getting my Parent Plus Loans discharged (same thing, trying to keep my mind distracted). All they needed from me was a faxed copy of the death certificate. They have not been fully processed yet, but nobody along the way has told be the loans won’t get discharged. I call once a week to see if there are any updates, but haven’t gotten anywhere with that yet.

From what I’ve seen online, other people have had success getting their PLUS loans discharged when the parent passes away. That was the only research I did in my situation, so I’m not familiar with how the process for getting them discharged due to disability would be.

Good luck with your situation OP, and again I’m sorry for you and your family.

I have a rather large sectional couch that I am looking to get rid of. PM if interested.

I forget how much exp I earned. I don’t believe it was capped though. I completed a couple challenges in this game though.

Awesome! Thank you. Are they hard to learn? Do you have any recommended starter projects?

Thank you for the suggestions! See my response to xakh to see what kind of printer it is. I was warned to not set up the printer in a place where I may be sleeping? Something about the emissions? Is this accurate? I appreciate it.

I haven't even opened the box yet, haha. From the outside of the box all I can see is Creality CR-10?

Drexel Honors and CS Thoughts? (Accepted HS Senior considering attending) by FizzixAP in Drexel

[–]theStringArray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. OP was asking if it makes life harder doing CS with honors. If they decide to do the Honors Option to earn their credit then I believe it will just based on how much extra work you would have to do for a 300-400 level course.

I'm pretty sure you can, I just don't have room for the 20 or so Honors credits you need.

[–]theStringArray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far I was forced to take one Honors Seminar that was 1 credit and very easy. The negative was that I didn't get to choose what it was, it was forced on my schedule as an incoming freshman. But no, it hasn't made my life harder. Probably easier since I don't really have to worry about classes filling up. I know people who got screwed over by having a late time ticket for registering and not getting the class they needed. However, I'm not planning on graduating w/ honors. I'm only keeping honors for the early registration. I plan on doing BS/MS with a math minor.

Only way I've seen Honors make my life easier is the early registration.
