Secondly, why are there not more Excel specific policies, as you are ExcelPope.
I'm interested in how you reconcile the date code schism between Mac and Windows versions of Excel.
How do deal with the small upstarts, the religion-lite if you like, that just run in the browser?

Interesting thought. I hope that if the NASA funding source gets pulled (the grant proposal probably includes some of the "forbidden concepts" like "increasing access" or "reducing bias") then Harvard would recognize the value and replace the funding.

NSF funds a bunch of astronomy. There are a number of words in this list that will be in observing proposals. If I were writing one now, I would probably try and shoe-horn a bunch of these in...

One of my fears was that this administration would have learnt from previous experience how to get the crazy stuff done, and be able to put competent loyalists in place.

Using AI to train AI: Model collapse could be coming for LLMs, say researchers
Using AI-generated datasets to train future generations of machine learning models may pollute their output, a concept known as model collapse, according to a new paper published in Nature. The resear...

My workload (largely data analysis, simulations) is to write/debug/enhance functions in a script and call them interactively in the spyder IDE whilst doing visualisations.
When I shifted from largely Linux to Windows I became more reliant on IDEs so not sure how I can maintain v2 and v3.
