I had no clue where to place this but Tech. seems like a good place.

This is a Physics Forums but I know of plenty engineering majors that roam here. The question is, what's your engineering speciality?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
I started with Aerospace and it was cool, but it kicked my ass so I switched to Mechanical.
 
Wow, I started off with Aerospace as well but realized that I liked more of the Physics and Mathematics part so I switched over to those majors.
 
And I'm in aerospace currently. My focus is in the space systems track.
 
right now, digital circuits verification so I voted electrical/computer

I was aero/aero. I wanted to design (and fly) fighter jets.

Mechanical isn't a bad alternative though. Lockheed has a plant near here where they are hiring ME's to build/test GPS satellites. Plus (obviously) there are a lot of mechanical parts in an airplane.
 
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
