gwid0non Show HN: Nobie – an Excel-compatible runtime for agents and humans

So LLM retrieves data, puts it in the table (statically, as I understand), I perform some computations in the table and create a pivot table in another sheet. Next month comes, and I want to refresh the report. However, there's no refresh button, so I need to spend time rewriting the query and tokens to retrieve data every month?

gwid0non Show HN: Nobie – an Excel-compatible runtime for agents and humans

1) The landing page is strange, you can see features (Editing, Pivots etc.) but there are no screenshots of the actual app. I would like to see how different it looks vis-a-vis excel, before I bother to download and install the app.

2) It doesn't look like the app supports external data. Most corporate users have access to some kind of database/data warehouse serving as a repository of data in the organisation. Without this feature, it's pretty much useless in a corporate environment. Unless you analyse external data, like quarterly financials of public companies. Not sure who's the target market/audience for this product.

There's also an entertaining movie based on this book, a rare business film that is more about failure than success.

Anecdata: I've never provided my phone number to FB, I provided it to Messenger App and Whatsapp, it's not on in the file for my country.

gwid0non On Trouser Pockets

Personal anecdote:

I've lost around 20kg 2 years ago and were able to fit into a nice pair of slim jeans I used to wear in high school (around mid 00's). I've always carried my wallet in a left hand pocket and my phone+headphones in a right hand pocket. I couldn't fit any modern smartphone into the right hand pocket - the pocket was too short and your phone sticked out of the pocket all the time.

Kinda interesting, how the spread of modern computer devices changed a little detail in mass market fashion design.
