I’m not defending AI, but I’ve seen Excel manage worse on its own. Granted, it’s almost always my fault for not fully understanding the enigmatic systems that power its logic.
It’s amazing what you can do with Excel if you know how. It makes it so easy to analyze complex data sets, accidentally summon the Dark Lord, create pivot tables and graphs, etc.
Lol no that just summons a few demons. When you write an entire “application” in VBA and use hidden worksheets as the “database”, then try to share it with the entire organization via a shared drive, then and only then will the gates of hell open and Satan himself come forth.
The last application I wrote in VBA/Excel is still running 24/7 on a big screen in the command center of a company that was purchased for several billion dollars.
And yes, there are multiple database sheets. Filled with data scraped from another database. Data that was being written down on paper before I arrived and decided to learn VBA instead of develop permanent hand cramps.
If your signal looks like f(t) = K•u(t)e^at with u(t) = {1 if t≥0, 0 else}:
If Real(a) > 0, then your signal will eventually blow up.
If Real(a) < 0, then you signal will not blow up. In fact, your signal will have a maximum absolute value of |K|, and it will approach zero as time goes on.
If Real(a) = 0, it is either a complex sinusoid or a constant. In either case, it is bounded with maximum absolute value of |K|. It very much does not blow up.
So e pops up all the time in stable systems and bounded signals because the function e^at solves the common differential equation dx/dt = ax(t) with x(0)=1 regardless of the value of a, particularly regardless of whether or not the real part of a causes the solution to blow up.
It seems very likely that this drop-down menu was not populated by one person, or perhaps was even populated by multiple databases written by very different people with highly disparate levels of grammar knowledge - maybe even different first languages.
Or someone thought it was funny, like you said. I’m not here to judge.
You might want to consider looking up “Jodorowsky’s Dune” for a bit more insight into how… huh… let’s say “influenced” Star Wars (and others for that matter) was by Dune overall.
