however, you can test the model, by asking it things. What are you concerned is hiding inside of that big block of numbers? Order 66?

I have like 40 projects that are 80% complete. I've been doing this in my spare time instead of a job. I wasn't trying to make a product. I was practicing. Please hire me?

I had this idea for a "drill" that I'd like to make someday. Basically it was a box with several tentacles snaking out of it. The tentacles would each have a drill on the end, and they would dig holes in a surface. These hole

I don't want the world, sounds like people would start bothering me all the time. I'd never get a moment to relax. But if I had the world, I'd do better with it than what we got.

If a kid lives on their own but their mom buys them groceries once per month and their dad swings by on thursdays with pizza and beer, that kid's still pretty darn self sufficient. Similarly, if a country can use 80% less oil or import

try asking claude to write in VB6. Make some Active Server Pages. Use COM components. Why not? We can do things "better" now, but what does that matter when you can do the same things as before, but better?
