LOL, in 1972 / 73 I was trained to fix computers down to the chip level by the USN. As a result I hand built most of my early systems. My second system (around 1983/84) was a Single Board Computer as they were known back then. It had an 80186 and 16 DRAM chips making up 256 KBytes of DRAM...

More or less yes. So existing register info is pushed onto the stack simply to preserve them for when the process exits? You mentioned registers being pushed but not why or how many. There are a bunch of registers these days. And the return value (for a function) is placed on the heap and a...

@The_Doc_Man you'd know this. I understand that one "pushes" stuff onto the stack, and I understand push and pop instructions, my question really is that once control is transferred into the procedure that owns the stack, is any piece of that data on the stack generically available inside of...

And wouldn't you know Dave Plumber is interviewing him. Dave's Garage is a mainstay for me for "the olden days" stuff.

I purchased a 4tb ssd. I had two 1tb ssds, with my dev D: drive on the first drive. It became too large and my c: was running out of room as well. And the saga begins... In no particular order I replaced the boot drive with my new ssd. THAT didn't work!!! Got that squared away. I bought...

I have to shrink my project list. ;)

Did you ever get your report?

The thing about AI is that while it knows "everything" it often knows things that aren't real. :D:eek:

Just clarified: For the GPT-5 model on ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI does not publish an explicit message-per-day cap. Instead, they use rolling windows—typically allowing several dozen messages per a few-hour period based on the model and current load. So: No fixed daily limit on GPT-5 usage. Instead...

And... the new limitations are potentially huge. 80 exchanges in 3 hours for the $20 / month version. I am spending all my prompts just trying ti get it to do something useful.

I am using the new ChatGPT 5 and boy is it not an improvement. It takes three times as long to process my admittedly complicated requests. but then it flat ignores my prompts. The way I worked in the past was to upload several documents to chat to "hydrate" it (chat's terminology) with needed...

My daughter is 22 years old but operates at a 3rd grade level due to her intellectual disabilities. I asked Chat (Winnie on my phone) to act as an author. I described how I want to write a book that Allie can read, about fictitious adventures she has out in the world with her dog Sadie and her...

And that's OK. I have been working with Chat for at least a month. I started using it to help me write some vba stuff for my book. It was when I realized how much depth it had in its coding abilities that I suddenly thought about other uses for it, other projects I wanted to work on. I have...

BTW I have been interacting with "Sir Chat" and it has integrated a lot of our interactions into some pretty humerus exchanges. I told it I was giving it the title Sir Chat in honor of it's service to me. And I routinely tell it "Make it so Number One" and it provides a ton of star trek...
