  • It’s not just conjecture, it’s complete delusion. Pakistan never committed to put feet on the ground for Iran. It would be beyond idiotic considering the state the country is already in.

    And even if all logic died and Pakistan somehow sent military support, Israel and the US are more than capable enough to handle it themselves. They don’t need India’s support and India, being the world’s poster child for non-alignment, won’t give it even if asked anyway.

    It might be hard to understand but India has unironically been friendly with both Iran and Israel at the same time.








  • Misleading title. From the article,

    Asked whether “scaling up” current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to succeed.

    In no way does this imply that the “industry is pouring billions into a dead end”. AGI isn’t even needed for industry applications, just implementing current-level agentic systems will be more than enough to have massive industrial impact.



  • Try to write a formula range which covers only lower half of the column which is typical setup in summing numbers( avoiding headers )

    You can literally label ranges to use them as variables in Excel formulae, not to mention Excel Tables has more operations and features than you’ll ever need.

    limits in columns and records

    Unless you are working with an unfiltered, un-aggregated ledger dump straight out of your database (in which case you shouldn’t be let anywhere near an office computer), it’s rather hard to cross 1M+ rows and 16.4k columns in corporate finance.

    ever changing formats across versions

    The .xlsx format was introduced in 2007 (18 years ago) and hasn’t changed since. Not to mention you can still use all kinds of plaintext formats whenever you want.
