Amazing! This is the most useful calculator.. bit shifts..radix conversations...

I've been using it for years after struggling missing the windows 2000 calculator.

I recently opened a github issue about the system UI looking dark. I got a response an hour later which appears to be AI written, I responded to it and it looks like my request has been accepted.

I absolutely do not mind it being AI driven. I have not seen this before in this. The response was not slop, just very formal and verbose.

I use speed crunch almost every day mostly to see bits and bit shift operations visually. It's just strange to see requesting feature, getting an automated further inquiry, and then a response that yeah that sounds good to do.

Why do you think it was AI driven? It was more than likely human driven, but largely written by an AI to save time.

I also recently made a fairly complete scientific calculator. I first asked Claude what functions it would put in it, then I made some modifications (added complex numbers), and told it to write the calculator. It looked perfect in one shot. This is really how simple this kind of thing has become.

Scientific calculators are surprisingly hard to get right. SpeedCrunch itself just fixed some calculation errors (usually its order of operations based, but not always). I’d be interested to see how accurate yours is, though I also wonder if there are lower level libraries to leverage to make it a moot point
