@stefanie @ditsch42 @ubernostrum is there anything that calculator allows you to do that couldn't be done without it?
The answer is no.
This must mean calculators are a scam by Big Calculator.

@Igigog@mastodon.gamedev.place @ditsch42@troet.cafe @ubernostrum@infosec.exchange You know, there is some truth to that quip. Calculator used to be a job title. But at least calculators are orders of magnitude faster than humans, and are basically infallible, while using almost no power. LLMs use enormous amounts of power for unreliable output that really isn't even that much faster.
