Excel has quietly been Turing complete for a long time. Nice to see it now edging toward "AI complete"—SGD, attention, next-token prediction… all in cells.
Sending solidarity for all those who broke Zardari House Protocol the other night. Shame on security for attempting to run over working men and women on motorcycles. No politician should be able to bulldoze their way through streets.
