This is a different project from https://spreadsheets-are-all-you-need.ai/index.html ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39700256 ) (might be interesting for another angle on it, doesn't look like it has much of a presentation beyond the README though.)

I loaded it into Numbers (Apple's spreadsheet program) and changed the input. It recalculated in a few seconds (M1 16/512 Mac mini) but the output didn't change. It needs a deeper drive.

If you believe LLMs will result in agi consciousness, interestingly, you also believe there exists an (large) excel sheet that is conscious.

I wonder what it would take to mathematically prove that consciousness can't be reduced to elementary math. Probably some kind of insane proof by contradiction.

Nobel prize winning mathematical physicist Roger Penrose believes Gödel inadvertently proved that.

I am not familiar with Numbers. Can anyone explain what's missing from Excel that is coming in the way. I would love to see an Excel version.

PS: I had implemented some classical computer vision demos in Excel [1, 2]. Excel worked surprisingly well for it. Hence am doubly curious.

I found something below, but still do not know the answer.

It’s possible to hold billions of rows in a single table inside a single table via power query

The project links to [1], which is absolutely amazing as well.
