My argument is that all the vocabulary for computer science are things. Even if they are virtual, they are tangible. You can draw a picture and label a box "bytes". Nothing in the ChatGPT conversation is tangible. It's all in

I'm stodgy, but I can't get past how they chose VERB-OBJECT instead of OBJECT-VERB. get-<tab> is useless. MSFT knew tab-completion would be a thing, yet they made it useless.

Putting on my pedantic hat, does this qualify as a picture of the mountains? As in, is there any light hitting the mountains, then hitting the film/sensor? Or is this just an elaborate silhouette? Is that a difference? I don't kno

After 4 years of Russia/Ukraine, does anyone think that a terror group would take down an airliner with anything other than a drone? Why take any operational risk of actually going through security?
