AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the challenges of using an outdated TI-85 calculator, particularly the need for a table function to efficiently handle long polynomial calculations. The user expresses frustration with the slow process of manually rewriting values for each x in polynomials. They inquire about the possibility of downloading a table program or finding alternative solutions for the TI-85. Additionally, there is a suggestion that users might utilize the solver function to input polynomial formulas directly, allowing for quicker calculations by entering values for x to obtain corresponding y values.

Hi

Fist of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I'm on a limited budget here and trying to survive with an ancient TI-85. I was doing well until I started needing the table function, now it takes ages to rewrite a value for every x in long polynomials.
Does anyone know of any way to perhaps download a table program or any way to get around the problem for a TI-85?

Not quite sure what you actually need the table function for - can't you put your formula into the solver so you do something like

y=a+bx+cx2+dx3 etc, then enter your values for x to get y?
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
