In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for...

Does anyone know of any creative destruction examples where a new technology undermined the power of a group of elites that seemed to be holding all the cards? Thanks!

The teacher asks a question and the student either gets it correct or incorrect. It's not just a matter of making up scenarios. ChatGPT is good for that. It's the punch lines that are hard.

Thanks for your response. As far as challenging the monarch not having a downside, I have not divulged all the rules for the game as they are not necessary for this thread. With regards to ChatGPT, I use it daily for many tasks and have used it to brainstorm some of these. However, it's just not...

I’m creating a game for my students called Royal Questions. The purpose of the game is to make any question-answer session fun. It’s loosely based on medieval times but really anything can happen. Here’s how it works: Students are selected randomly and asked to choose from the following...

Sounds reasonable.

I get that, but I know that 0.1 also cannot be represented in binary so why does the computer NOT have a problem with doing 1/10?

I understand that some numbers cannot be represented in floating point but I don't understand why the way we obtain those numbers matters. In python, if I type print(0.1) or print(1/10) I get 0.1 but if I type print(0.3-0.2) I get 0.09999999... Why the difference?

If it makes you feel any better, Biden is very strongly anti-war. He was a critic of our ongoing wars in the Middle East and the last thing he wants is to get involved in another drawn-out conflict.

Yes, that is what I've been doing. I do have a heck of a lot of global variables which did seem awkward to me. I'll try the dictionary strategy and let you know how it goes.

I'm not using git. In fact, although I've heard it mentioned over and over, I'm not really quite sure what it is. I suppose my next step should be to look into it. Dropbox is where I've been keeping all my important files for many years. Guess I'll have to make a change.

Thanks for the help, @DaveC426913. What exactly do you need a screenshot of?

No, I'm not. Should I be? Here are some pics of the make_worksheet function if it's helpful.

Hello again @pbuk :) . I seem to be having the same problem even in the command prompt (except for the fact that running the master file from the command prompt did not stop other python files from working in vscode). Below are pictures of what's going on. I called my make_worksheet function to...

I have, yes.
