       Show HN: WinGPT, AI Assistant for Windows 3.1
        
       Hey HN, I didn't want my Gateway 4DX2-66 from 1993 to be left out
       of the AI revolution, so I built an AI Assistant for Windows 3.1,
       based on the OpenAI API.  The most interesting parts of building
       this were:  - Getting TLS 1.2 and 1.3 working on Windows 3.1 so
       that WinGPT could directly connect to OpenAI's server without
       relying on a modern machine for TLS termination.  - Learning about
       the memory segmentation architecture on 16-bit Windows, including
       the difference between _far_ and _near_ pointers.  - Building the
       UI in plain C code with the Windows API and limited selection of
       controls in Windows 3.1.  You can check it out here and learn more
       about what it was like to build it: https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/
