Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 3, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

This evening I finished Ted Chiang's novella "The Lifecycle of Software Objects". Not my favourite entry in his collection Exhalation, but not the worst either. It managed the AI thing quite well of getting me to care about characters that I know aren't really "conscious" as such, and I cared about the human characters just as much.
