Oh no.

You’re absolutely right!

…LLM-isms are like nails on chalkboard I swear. Instant turn off the moment I read them.

Even if they’re maybe not lol, doesn’t matter my visceral reaction is negative.

  • That's just what standard marketing copy sounds like.

    ...which perhaps says a lot about the corpora that the models are trained on.

156 MHz!!!!

  • Surprisingly high or surprisingly low?

    • I don't know either what they meant, but for comparison NumWorks calculators are clocked at 216 MHz (100 MHz for the older models, and 550 MHz for some of the latest ones, but not everywhere), so it doesn't look that much out of the ordinary, maybe a little underpowered from my experience with the first NumWorks but eh idk it's a calculator and unlike the first NumWorks they don't try to do CAS.
