("you can" doesn't necessarily mean a new user can do it immediately: some abilities here are called "privileges" and you have to post a few good questions or answers on the main Q&A sites before you actually can do it yourself)

you can create a new chat room to discuss something, apart from the larger rooms, but anyone can view the messages

conversations are public here

@Nasomka nope, there's no way for users to DM each other in private

þat's right

:Þ

oh fun, worse: det needs to be a multiple of 30, 42, or 70 to be a counterexample

note that most numbers are not multiples of 15, 21, or 35, so just trying a few examples might not be enough to guess if there's a pattern

anyway looks like lulu found a relatively small counterexample that meets your requirements, right?

this is convoluted

oh because 1 also is not prime?

so I think it's not a pattern

11 mod 10 is 1

you gave a counterexample in your question

uh

but I'm not looking carefully so I could be mistaken

seems somewhat easy to find counterexamples

@Sampurna are you saying, for a sequence of 4 consecutive primes p1 p2 p3 p4, p1p4-p2p3 is divisible by no more than one of p1 mod 10, p2 mod 10, p3 mod 10, p4 mod 10?

did they ever kill off wordpad? I remember that surviving long, long after they had abandoned it

copilot in notepad? of course, I guess

I don't know the new notepad yet, I don't think

yes, also

of a particular length

well, Vikas also wanted to generate a string

of course, if I could have just not gotten older in the first place, there'd be no problem to solve :-)

maybe you could custom build a tip of the tongue word finder. But ChatGPT already does it much better than thesauruses or web searches

but I don't have a lot of experience with them. The only thing they've done well for me so far is finding tip of the tongue words

@JourneymanGeek I think we're on the same page. LLMs are suggested for, and used for, a lot of things that they're the wrong tool for

@JourneymanGeek there's a lot of that with LLMs

reminds me of young grade school kids. When asked a simple question, many will guess. What's 1 plus 2? 5! (translation: because 5 is a number)

if you want to calculate things, and really want to use an LLM, I guess a better workflow might be to ask it to write code or a formula, then run that yourself

as I understand it

the LLM advance was that sophisticated enough faking sometimes got close to correct

yeah, that's the problem with a tool designed to fake an answer. sometimes it's truly fake

I misread

ah no

looks like you might have misclicked on copy?

@Vikas yeah I like REPLs for questions like that. I usually use Python's, though I had a lot of headaches trying to get that set up on Windows (IPython had always been a nicer REPL, but it got folded into the more ambitious Jupyter project)

apparently you can tell Windows to extend the limit, but programs might still not work with it

but everyone seems to say 260. Not sure why it's 280 for you

You can try reading superuser.com/q/1807770/420234

interesting. OK

@vpvijayannair what device do you mean? This is a general chat room, so if you have a question you need to be more specific

I'm reading that historically, and maybe still? Windows had a total path limit of 260. If your computer has that, the longer length of OneDrive\My Documents vs Downloads could be the straw that broke the camel's back

and thus something Chrome might not have been coded to expect?

about how many characters long is this? maybe a OneDrive limitation?

not giving an error sounds like a bug to me

weird. I guess to be sure you could test saving it under a short name
