angadsg··on ChatGPT for Excel
Engineer on ChatGPT for Excel here. Useful feedback. We have improved the latency inside the add-in a lot and a lot more to come. We also have the Fast, Standard and Heavy thinking modes, where you can adjust the thinking time depending on the task complexity. Curious to hear your feedback once you try this out!
angadsg··on ChatGPT for Excel
Would love for you to try both copilot and ChatGPT for Excel. Agreed on the limitations - but in our experience, ChatGPT for Excel does really well on complex sheets.
angadsg··on ChatGPT for Excel
Hi, engineer on this add-in. Fair concern but we never train on any of our business or enterprise user data, or if you have opted-out of training on your ChatGPT account.

angadsg··on ChatPDF – Chat with Any PDF
IMO folks are better off deploying their own version where they can adjust a few knobs (e.g. split chunk size) to get better results, given that PDF Q&A is such a commodity application.

Wrote a <50 lines version with LangChain to run on your terminal with any folder full of PDF documents - https://github.com/angad/dharamshala/blob/main/docs.py

return_source_documents is particularly helpful to get a sense of what is being sent in the prompt.

angadsg··on Ask HN: What are some good technology blogs to follow?
Stack Overflow newsletters[1] are great as well. It sends you top questions of the week, both answered and unanswered. Great way to learn small things about things you love. Its the perfect application of "Knowledge should be bite-sized".

I subscribe to RPi, Net Eng, CS, theoretical CS and Code Golf news letters. Any other suggestions?

angadsg··on Live Like Steve
It took me 15 minutes to make this. I use my own framework that collects tweets based on hashtags and posts to Tumblr and other social networks. Probably its my way of remembering the man who gave the world the device from which I am typing this.

I bought livelikesteve.com for $7.49 from Godaddy and the ads are there just to get me back that cost. Waiting for DNS propagation.

angadsg··on Useful Symbols for Facebook
Dont really see a point for me going to another website to get some symbols. Usability can be improved.

1) User clicks on the symbol and it is copied to the clipboard. No need for Ctrl+C.

2) Make a Chrome/Firefox extension.
