I have SQL on my resume as one of my top skills, so I started to feel a little bit like a fraud and decided to solve some problems a couple days ago. I have failed, miserably. But I practiced and I think I remembered it enough that I am ready to challenge myself now.  I will ask ChatGPT to generate me 3 intermediate SQL coding questions that I can get in a technical interview...]]></description><link>https://www.elseifdata.com/post/i-asked-chatgpt-for-intermediate-sql-challenges-here-s-how-i-solved-them</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4941b8e0687dd9267cd3e1</guid><category><![CDATA[featured]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 20:35:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d957d8_c86b61da0ee34c6c81d422f9c9d958eb~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_518,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elif Yildiz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computing a Mind: Turing, the Chinese Room, and AI]]></title><description><![CDATA[The question “Can computers think?” turns on what it means for a machine to think. The Turing Test is a canonical attempt that provides a behavioral criterion: a machine counts as thinking if it passes as a human in conversation (Turing, 1950, p. 434). Searle’s (1980) “Chinese room counterexample” (p. 421) famously challenges this view by imagining a non-speaker of Chinese producing fluent replies solely by following symbolic instructions. Decades later, the Turing Test and the Chinese Room...]]></description><link>https://www.elseifdata.com/post/computing-a-mind-turing-the-chinese-room-and-ai</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1f0403ae0d73d1087e52ed</guid><category><![CDATA[featured]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:39:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d957d8_95824bf58e104ddc94ff5f773ca68776~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elif Yildiz</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
