I just tried it, its very cool, so it can not just summarize data, but also create and format table, however it can not create charts yet. I asked to create me on and it created another table and told me what i need to do in the UI to create a chart based on it

you can try it in the web version, download the manifest file form his website. Than go in the webversion to add in -> my add ins -> upload and upload the manifest file. Only downside is that it will disappear after a week or so.

Just tried it, very cool! Do you have experience with limits, like is there a max table size it can reason about?
at the end of the article they made a clear distinction between flawed and hallucinated cititations. I feels its hard to argue that through a mistake a hallucinated citation emerge:

> Real Citation Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton. Deep learning. nature, 521:436-444, 2015.

Flawed Citation

Hallucinated Citation

Samuel LeCun Jackson. Deep learning. Science & Nature: 23-45, 2021.

good catch, actually increased to 1mb, I struggled at the beginning with the 20mb limit for inline data. But will look into the resized versions because i realized sometime is missed great images because of the limit. Thanks for the feedback!

Show HN: Wikimedia and LLM

Hi! I built this tool that uses the Wikimedia image corpus to enhance LLM-generated text. I originally made it to help explain mathematical concepts during my exam period, but of course, I only finished it once my exams were already over. Anyway, I think there's value in having images alongside text explanations, and since relying solely on AI-generated images isn't so ideal, Wikimedia is a...

Its cool that there is another train connections, saving time and has no need to switch trains! Also kind a funny to see in the comments that a lot of people counter the good news with some kind of bad takes about the german rail way. Just be happy about the new connection :)
