Lakhs and crores?
zahlman•1h ago
Yes, as localized for the user who got the screenshot. I checked it now and got a result formatted normally for Canada (or the US for that matter). I imagine that European users would see it with dots instead.

>I checked it now and got a result formatted normally

Could you link to the page with that exact UI? (two bold counters surrounded by rectangular boxes, with the labels beneath the counts)

zahlman•1h ago
The numeric display is localized for the user who got the screen capture. That's how numbers are formatted in India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system . When I check it as a Canadian, the numbers have the usual commas for North American cultures.

It comes across that the sole purpose of this submission is to try to ridicule Musk for putting forward trivially buggy software, hence the quotation marks around the supposedly-incorrectly formatted numbers in the title. Even if that checked out, it would not make for an good submission.

On the off chance that the submission is actually intended to celebrate milestones for Grokipedia (why put quotation marks around numbers, and why not format them as you normally would instead of as they were localized for someone else in a screenshot?), that still isn't particularly interesting.

(Edit: a survey of OP's relatively new account suggests a singular focus on anti-AI stories.)

Grokipedia is on topic for HN. Please feel free to discuss its evolution from v0.1 -> v0.2 or the pros and cons of this LLM-assisted model or anything else that is on topic, not cross-examine the submitter or make assumptions about them.
