OpenAI says it's fixed ChatGPT's em dash problem | TechCrunch
OpenAI says users can now personalize ChatGPT to stop using the em dash in its output.
Excessive use of em dashes would be about #25 on my list of telltale signs something was written by AI. And itβs far from the most annoying one.
(My personal #1 annoying telltale sign is endless use of βIt wasnβt just x, it was also yβ-type constructions.) techcrunch.com/2025/11/14/o...

Baltimore Museum of Industry. Mergenthaler's home is just a few blocks from us in Baltimore. As is F. Scott Fitzgerald's.

Apparently the lynotype had a hard time with the letter "F". Thanks @jeffjarvis.bsky.social for all your lessons on Johannes Gutenberg on TWIG.

"Dotted with fountains, benches, and flowering trees."
That is lovely. And still appropriate. Much like Park avenue.

I don't know what it is but after a good night's sleep and getting all of my devices charged up in the hotel room before a day of flying makes me feel refreshed! RNO-PHX-BWI

The most unrealistic thing about flight simulator 2024 is that on career mode you can taxi around with your strobe lights on and somebody in a Delta airplane won't yell at you.

I think it's charming that my parents called me today after buying new iPhones to complain about them not including a user manual. I suggested they will be able to make phone calls, browse Facebook and take photos just as easily as on the previous generation.

It is a fantastic store with fantastic people. Absolutely worth the visit ad they will steer you in a direction should you walk away empty handed.

Company Seven | Astro-Optics Index Page
Company 7 - a well regarded resource for the international amateur and
professional astronomical, nature watching, and law
enforcement/defense communities.
Well, I took wanted a telescope and went here. http://www.company7.com/
Extremely knowledgeable people and passionate about telescopes but the equipment was way out of my league in both quality and cost. But, a great experience. They sell a starter telescope at microcenter.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has just a few glitches. Came back from mapping the controls to find the Cessna a little out of the operating envelope.
