It is *so* interesting to see what Eliezer gets upset about...
(As normally he is rather calm and composed...)
Of course one of the points of the new calculator feature
is to see what "breaks" it. How else are the programmers
who developed it going to improve it?
I've tried to get in touch with the manager of the project
so I could give them some high praise, but google appears
to have their phone "firewalls" set too high. I've done a
couple of *really* cool programming tasks in my life -- it would
be nice to let the people responsible for the calculator
know that what they have done is *really* cool.
Hmmm... Perhaps I could take out a google ad to compliment
the google programmers. Something to think about.
