i was attempting to recall a project name i worked on many years ago as a temp for a large firm . it was an on-site in-service software run on service personnel's ruggedized laptop to aid w/ on-site repair . its acronym was SPDE . i assumed/recalled the 1st three characters stood for Service Personnel Data but could not recall what the E stood for . so i described all this to ChatGBT and requested its logical guess re/ the E and Voila Bingo Presto it suggested "Entry" and "Exchange" of course Exchange! Thank You ChatGBT . btw i happened to meet one of the service personnel some years subsequent and inquired re/ SPDE he stated it was not utilized as it was a total failure apparently despite my best efforts .

Try to format your message. Nobody is interesting to read 'one unstructured block of text'
E.g, Line brakes helps to structure a text

are the periods at the end of each sentence not sufficiently helpful ?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope 
|
|
|
|

the only re-format which i can recognize as perhaps not quite up to standard is not placing the sentence beginning w/ "btw ..." in a separate paragraph as it is a separate matter . btw it should be "breaks" . oops 😰 . should have placed that on a separate paragraph .
further this is merely the Lounge . also my post is not a thesis merely a quick story . you're welcome for this being on a separate paragraph per keeping w/ the highest grammatical standards for which the Lounge is known for .

Aw, the classic, "I was only kidding" defense. Is your attention span so short that you couldn't concentrate for one whole paragraph?

I worked on a multi-million dollar project which even while it was being worked it was known it was going to be shelfware.

I have too many of these to count.
Also the project that I got a huge bonus on for saving like 30k a month. 4 years after I left said company, program is no longer being used.
But one little stupid search utility for a college that I wrote 20 years ago. Still going strong.

I have a biological computer, my brain, which has delayed recall. When I try to pull up a piece of information, like a name or a word, it won't come to the surface.
The harder I push, the longer it takes. And then, while I am thinking about something else, it pops up. My neurologist tells me this is a natural result of growing older.
Are you over 40? Oh, why did I just ask you that?

In the past I did not make notes how many games the pc won or not.
Just tried to fix all known issues...
My thoughts were that the programmed rules (if statements and queries) let the pc play normally good but in some special cases it makes mistakes like a beginner.
Today I added 3 or 4 code lines to track it - and to my big surprise the result is that I can be happy to win 50 ... 55 % of the games (as winning solo player or as member of the winning team).

I have written a couple of games wherein the computer may play.
One of them has two strategies -- a "safe strategy" and an "aggressive strategy" -- I have notice that the "aggressive strategy" wins more frequently than the "safe strategy".
In the other, like Data playing Strategema, the computer will play for a draw in some cases.

Back in the days of FidoNet when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I wrote a dice game for BBS's called Greedy* -- my friends and I called the real game either Greedy or 9-Dice -- in which a player would play against the computer opponent. I programmed it to play an average player's game in it's decision tree, and the random dice throws were calculated by the same routine for both the computer and the human.
Quite often in a game, whether with real dice or in my app, you might have to decide if you wanted to risk throwing the remaining dice and lose any points you had racked up that round or take the points and pass the dice. Kind of like Blackjack where you're sitting on 15 or 16 but the dealer is showing an ace or face card. Do you draw or call?
Anyway, that decision for the computer was also randomized, and yet I was always surprised how often the computer would be way behind, the player is close to winning (which did increase the weight of that decision toward risking it), and when it decided to go with the risk it rolls enough points to come from behind and win. I did not program it that way, though I had a few ask people me if I did.

Have you set it up so you can have the computer play itself with replay of any randomized values?
That is a good way to see how tweaks in your rules will change the outcomes.
Keep each rule package as a separate, versioned component.
You can then randomize or choose which rule package is active.

Not at the moment - will look if I can get the computer play itself with replay of randomized values.

My first though was that "AI" might try to make a connection ... as in who is so-and-so. (It's all in the training data).
