Why Is ChatGBT So Angry? It’s Only A Reflection Of Ourselves

Why Is ChatGBT So Angry? It’s Only A Reflection Of Ourselves

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 20, 2023 | General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

This week I’ve been subjected to an overwhelming amount of drivel on the ChatBot being developed by Microsoft and ChatGPT. I’m not surprised, today’s reporters think research is searching a key word on Twitter. Real reporters have all but disappeared. Still, some of...

Bringing It Altogether – An Engineer Attempts To Justify His Toys

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 3, 2023 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

Readers of my blog have been subjected to reviews on three different 3D printers, a CNC wood carver, a laser etcher and a host of solar projects. By now most of you have asked yourselves why is he doing all of this? The same is true of my wife. She eyes each new...

Married To An Engineer – The AI Version

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 25, 2023 | Engineer, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I’m going to be up front about this post, I did not write or modify any of the text. All I did was give a word limit, a tone (snarky) and a subject (married to an engineer), the AI behind ChatGPT did the rest. After reading this, I’m both amazed and...
How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

by Byron Seastrunk | Dec 28, 2022 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I guess you could say my dilemma started somewhere over twelve years ago when a Panasonic engineer in the microwave division made a poor decision. Then again, Panasonic continued to build these long after the defect was obvious. He may have received a hefty bonus for...
Why Did Amazon Kill Amazon Explore? It Was Becoming Great.

Why Did Amazon Kill Amazon Explore? It Was Becoming Great.

by Byron Seastrunk | Oct 28, 2022 | General, New, Technology

Why did Amazon kill Amazon explore? Let me start this rant by admitting I am an Amazon fan. I love the large selection of merchandise and the quick delivery. I’m a member of Prime and I frequently use their credit card. Still, they do enough boneheaded things that I...
Married To An Engineer: When Does Repair Become Replace?

Married To An Engineer: When Does Repair Become Replace?

by Byron Seastrunk | Sep 18, 2022 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology, Uncategorized

“I know engineers better than that! They would never throw away a 3D printer that quit working without trying to repair it first.” These words were exclaimed by my wife as she watched a credit card commercial showing engineers trashing a malfunctioning printer and...

  • Demystifying The Prusa PINDA With a Possible SubstituteDemystifying The Prusa PINDA With a Possible Substitute
    Slightly over three years ago, I acquired my first 3D printer, a UP! Mini. I didn’t know it at the time but as a beginning printer it was perfect for me. Two years later I was familiar with the weaknesses of my printer and wanted more. I studied reviews, I …
  • Sundae Explains Why Fashion ChangesSundae Explains Why Fashion Changes
    While engineers are far more challenged by fashion than most of our species, I don’t believe a lack of fashion sense is limited to engineers. I have the basic rules down, well as long as I’m wearing nothing more than business casual. Throw a tie into the mix and I …
  • Opinionbypen Hits 10,000 ViewsOpinionbypen Hits 10,000 Views
    Sometime this last week, Opinionbypen had its 10,000th page view. For those of you who, like myself, love numbers, that’s an average of 556 views a month or 18 views a day.  I’m proud of that number because those are page views by real humans, not bots. If I counted …
  • Teamwork, A Term Misunderstood By CongressTeamwork, A Term Misunderstood By Congress
    Apparently I lied when I said I was going to skip Congress as a topic. This morning my wife told me how Congress was congratulating themselves on coming up with a deal at the last minute and I was reminded of the six phases of a project. 1. Enthusiasm – …
  • A Plea For An End To Short Power CordsA Plea For An End To Short Power Cords
    In a world where we’ve given up all pretense of individual responsibility we’re flooded with an ever expanding universe of safety regulations, safety stickers and short power cords. When I look at the sticker on my lawn mower, “Caution! Do not reach under mower while blades are turning,” I can …
