I have an spreadsheet that for some reason reformats every single column when refreshed or a cell on the table is double clicked. This has just started happening and it's occurring with earlier versions of the same spreadsheet that presented no problems before. I have tried everything suggested by Microsoft to get Excel to stop reformatting the columns.

Has anyone else had this problem start recently?

When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.

How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

@rbreich Because if you're rich and powerful in America, you can do whatever the fuck you want to the country ... EXCEPT fuck over another rich and powerful person. Same as it ever was.

Instant karma is real, and seeing it happen to one of the most deserving maggots in America is amazing.

I'm worried for my tech friends.

The vitriol, and - honestly - ignorance around LLM-based "AI" is starting to fill my feeds from normally sane and technologically literate people.

You should be able to see through the hype and misuse. LLMs aren't encyclopedias - they're tools that are able to manipulate data of various sorts in ways that are very similar to how humans do it.

Yes, I compare LLMs to human brains. It's not the same as saying they're conscious (yet) - but the way LLMs work is apparently in many ways similar to how our brains work.

One fascinating insight into that comes from research done on what happens to the ability of LLMs to recall information as they are exposed to large and larger corpuses. Apparently they're better at recalling the early and late information, whilst starting to lose some in the middle.

In human psychology we call that the primacy and recency effect - because our brains do the same.

LLMs are absolutely awesome for a wide variety of tasks (and we have by no means found them all). Every second you spend not understanding this is a second on the way to your own irrelevance (if these tools would aid someone in your chosen area of work) or to become a grumpy old person yelling at clouds.

I had honestly forgotten about the "Super Size" era at Micky D'Souza. Tell your kids about that shit lol.

Hardee's "Six Dollar Burger" is now nine dollars and the Big Mac is literally a six-dollar burger now.

I've got a little mom and pop hole in the wall pizza restaurant that also does a burger special - a large cheeseburger, fries and a can of soda for $6. And it's superior to any chain around here.

I'd call them animals, but animals don't behave like this. The IDF have surrendered any claim they have to humanitty, IMO.

I'd say:

"Hyper-testosteroned, hyper-armed, hyper-militarized cops with helmets and riot gear aiming rubber bullet guns and roiding out at peaceful protestors."

Tell me Biden's stance on anything. His personal beliefs on things.

@Adam_Cadmon1

His truest belief were spoken at his first Presidential fundraiser, consisting entirely of billionaires:

"Nothing will fundamentally change."

After that? Hm.

"No Segregationist is so evil that I can't give their eulogy"

I don’t know why people justify owning guns by saying they bought the gun to protect themself and/or their family when it's only adding to the problem and especially when there are better solutions, such as my plan which is to fend off any attackers with the Judo skills I learned by watching my brother take lessons at the YMCA when we were in elementary school.

If someone gave me an engagement ring that they made out of a skateboard, I'd probably say yes, because obviously they're related to McGyver and that's always a good kind of person to have around the house.
