I have a few X220s and I really love them. I would never say they could be my daily driver or come close to the capabilities of today’s machines. But for me they really have a place. For hobby and random uses they are great. For a machine t

OpenAI's products and DALL-E 3 can't really transform existing images. GPT-V lets it see images, and DALL-E 3 can make images. But they aren't directly connected. > We'll analyse your photo, describe it in words, and

I’ve found that the behavior of ChatGPT can vary widely from session to session. The recent information about GPT4 being a “mixture of experts” might also be relevant. Do we know that it wouldn’t have varied in its answer by just as much, i

When I saw that some of the glue code is in C#, I was momentarily excited to learn more about compiling C# to be able to run on DOS.

If you literally mean K&R C, hard to imagine. If you mean K&R C as a shorthand for “plain old C” then there’s a lot of it going on everywhere. Embedded and industry especially.

I thought Fall Or Dodge In Hell was pretty good, probably just because I don't know anybody else who has tried to answer the question... what would it be like to be reincarnated in that way?
