Thanks for your reply

I'm not a fan of it myself, but I had to learn my away around it back when I was a software architect by trade. Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

You'd just end up burning a ton of electricity to generate randomised well-formed, most likely responses to each previous sentence. It would be the 15 trillion parameter equivalent of watching pong. cheers Chris Maunder

:cool:

will have to look into this. I used to use a product from SciTools, but they got stupid expensive. Guess they decided the small developer market was irrelevant. I don't have a problem paying $1200 for a product. Forcing me to do it every dang year? I don't think so.

Thanks alot, but that since has died a death. I'll give you the full story, my previous employer had a system for moving moulds on a conveyor belt, this was not used as it wasn't powerful enough to move the moulds (also the rollers were linked with silicon belts, rather than a chain drive). So the unit was preposed to be upgraded as they had bought next door and were going to expand into. At which point it was moved with haste not allowing me to follow through what was connected to what and dumped. In sorting through the mess I found some interesting details such as the PLC and three phase power unit were connected incorrectly all the interconnecting cables were blue and no idents on them. Jumped ship due to that and another unconnected issue when I was offered a better job else where.

If it was personal junk email, as it was work related no. :rolleyes:

In one place I worked, the error message "member not found" was display to one of the (male) PHBs. The story of the PHB's member having gone missing went around like wildfire.

Wait, you work for AT&T? :laugh:

Yes, those are the broadest statements of all. It's like broad squared.

Waxing cynical... it's pretty dang smart if you ask me. The corpora-spyware definitely looks at teams activity for MSFT to sell your employer a metric on how hard you work (or don't).

Back in the prehistoric days when I worked at EMI ('79-80) one of the team I was attached to used to experiment with connecting electronic components across the mains and seeing how spectacular a demise he could elicit. Metal can transistors were quite pretty, giving a small volcano effect as they boiled, rupturing the can as sparks flew out of the hole, but for sheer impact large, low voltage (12-35V) electrolytic capacitors took some beating. Big bang and a cloud of vile smoke which would drift through the facility, which was a typical 30-40's era factory, composed of individual "lab/workshops" which had no ceiling of their own, so really just solid dividers open to the glass roof.

I got it from a site that contains all the standard emojis. Searching on "coat emoji" will turn up a bunch of them. After copy-pasting the emoji into the post, I made it larger by using a <big><big><big> prefix and </big></big></big> suffix.
