ChatGPT
Many people use ChatGPT without knowing what its letters stand for. "ChatGPT" stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer.
"Chat" indicates it's designed for conversational interactions, and GPT refers to "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," the type of model.
It's "generative" because it generates text based on prompts, creating responses dynamically.
It's "pre-trained" because the model is trained on large datasets before being fine-tuned for specific tasks, so it already has a broad understanding of language.
The word "transformer" refers to the model architecture used, which is highly effective for understanding and generating natural language.
"ChatGPT" is a model designed for generating natural-sounding text in a conversational format.

Look for Circles!
November 2 is “Look for Circles Day.” This lesser-known holiday invites us to notice circles in everyday life — from the obvious, like wheels and clocks, to the subtle and abstract, like circular routines or patterns in nature.
This can actually be an exercise in mindfulness, helping us observe our surroundings in a new way. It's a fun excuse to pause and discover hidden shapes and symmetries all around us.
I don't have to look far: I have fresh cookies on a round plate and am enjoying coffee in my cylinder-shaped cup, on its round wooden coaster, as my two dogs are curled up in a semi-circle next to me.
Happy Look for Circles Day!
