    Graphs Plot
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a new Firefox addon that allows users to plot graphs directly within the browser. While it shows promise, users express concerns regarding its functionality, particularly the requirement to use Math.sin() and Math.cos() instead of simpler commands like sin() and cos(). There is also criticism regarding the necessity of a plugin for this functionality, suggesting that similar capabilities could have been achieved using Flash or Java, which would not limit the experience to Firefox alone. Overall, the addon is seen as a good starting point, despite its limitations and the potential for broader compatibility with other browsers.

...Ditto...
 
That could have been done with Flash or Java, and hence not require another plugin. Not to mention it would run in other browsers as well. But I'm guessing they just ported some open source graphic calculator to a Firefox plugin.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
