AI Author: Beach Memories

O how I long for those sweet summer days

When by the shore I spent my hours in bliss

With friends and kin who shared my joyous ways

And filled my heart with memories I miss


The sun would shine upon the sparkling lake

And kiss the sails that bore us to and fro

We'd glide along the water, and partake

Of fishing, swimming, singing, as we'd go


The beach would welcome us with open arms

And offer us its treasures and delights

We'd build the sandcastles, and gather charms

And watch the seagulls soar in graceful flights


The beach was more than just a place of fun

It was a source of solace and of peace

It taught us how to live, and love, and run

And gave us hope that never would decrease


But now those days are gone, and I am old

And life has brought me many a grief and pain

I often think of what I've lost, and scold

The fate that keeps me from the beach again


Yet in my dreams I still can see the shore

And feel the breeze that caressed my face

And hear the laughter that I hear no more

And taste the salt that flavored every grace


And then I wake, and thank the beach for all

The gifts it gave me, and the joys it lent

And though I may not answer its sweet call

I know it waits for me, and I'm content



Prompt:
Write me a poem reminiscing about summers spent by the beach with friends and family, and sailing on the lake. Detail the travails of life, but also the pleasure of sailing, fishing and playing on the beach. Praise the beach for its benefit to mankind. Use the style and vocabulary common of a Georgian era Canadian poet, and compose the poem with a a very high level of literacy using graceful language and a wistful tone that imparts a deep feeling of nostalgia. Use visual imagery of crashing waves, masts with sails, sunny skies, and other sights and sounds associated with beaches, sailing and summer memories.

C programming and relevancy

Image
The C language is likely to remain with us for the foreseeable future. Here are a few interesting points about the C language that I was able to find while reading some posts on the topic. Links to original posts included. Another useful advantage of the C language:  C vs. Assembly In theory, I am a proponent of assembly language. In reality, I have reached a point in my life at which assembly language is a threat to both my financial security and my sanity. Writing firmware in assembly is slow and error-prone, and maintaining an adequate level of organization in long, complex programs is hopelessly difficult. However, I will certainly insist that you cannot really understand  high-level languages  if you don’t understand assembly. If you’ve never had the opportunity to gain some solid experience with assembly language, you should at least familiarize yourself with some of the basic concepts before you dive into C. The articles listed above in the Supporting Information ...

Shakespeare AI: My lady is more beauteous than a rose.

Image
My lady is more beauteous than a rose, That in the garden sweetly doth unfold; Her radiant face outshines the sun that glows, And makes the stars seem dim and dull and cold. She is more stunning than a lightning bolt, That cleaves the sky with sudden flash and roar; Her eyes can pierce my heart with one swift jolt, And leave me breathless, shaken to the core. She is more gentle than an angel's touch, That soothes the weary soul with grace and love; Her words can heal my wounds and lift me much, And make me feel as if I soar above. She is the fairest creature ever seen, And I am blessed to have her as my queen. Prompt: Write me a sonnet using the style and vocabulary of Shakespeare about how my lady is more beautiful than a rose, more stunning than a lightning bolt, and gentle as the touch of an angel.

C: Temperature Conversion With Main Repeat

 https://github.com/pereiradaniel/beginning_c/blob/master/ch3/exercises/3_1/exercise3_1.c // Exercise 3-1 // Write a program that will first allow a user to choose one of two options: // 1. Convert a temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. // 2. Convert a temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. // The program should then prompt for the temperature value to be entered and output the new value that results // from the conversion. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit you can multiply the value by 1.8 and then add 32. #include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> #define TOFARENHEIT(a) a*1.8+32.0 #define TOCELSIUS(a) (a-32.0)/1.8 int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int choice = 0; // Stores user's menu choice. double temp = 0.0; // Stores user's temperature input. char repeat = 'Y'; while (toupper(repeat)=='Y') { choice = 0; while (choice == 0) { printf(...
