I'm not a pilot and don't know much about aviation, but isn't the point of still having human pilots on board that they should be able to fly the plane without issues in case of an autopilot malfunction. Was this really an emergency that necessitated returning to the airport? It was a 2 hour national flight. Can't commercial pilots fly plans for even just 2 hours anymore?

This isn't criticism or a rant, I'm genuinely curious to know.
I studiously avoided looking at any submissions relating to ChatCGPT for several months, when they started flooding HN last year. I thought 'Boring chatbot. Who cares?'

Then, at Christmas family get together, I was chatting to someone I hadn't seen in a year, who's also interested in "techy stuff" and he asked if I'd used ChatGPT. I gave the same "...boring chatbot.." reply and he explained how it could do more than that and could even help write code for you.

Back in post-Chrimbo world, I was trying to work out a way to sort through my huge archive of photos and collate info about EXIF locations and also which photos didn't have EXIF data. I remembered the Christmas convo, fired up ChatGPT and asked it 'How would I write <description of problem> in Go?' and it spewed out some code.

I ran it and it worked [-ish] but also generated a few errors. I pasted each error into ChatGPT and said 'Fix this error' and it amended the code. Rinse and repeat a couple of times, as other errors cropped up and I ended up with some functioning code to do what I wanted to do.

I then asked ChatGPT to translate the same code into Crystal snd then into V and it did the same [although admittedly I could never get the errors out of the V code --too small an amount of training data, methinks!].

Purists may not be too enamoured of such AI-generated code. But, for someone like me who is an ocassional dabbler: ie. interested in tech and occasionally hacks something together to automate <something> on the comp, but is in no way a professional programmer, ChatGPT was a revelation. I could have achieved what I wanted myself. But it would probably have taken me a day or two and lots of internet searching. With ChatGPT's help, I was able to knock together the basic framework in seconds and then spend a few minutes refining it to handle various errors.
Probably they take batches of 5 minutes of script and ask for bullet points of that, iterating over all the video. Then when they have all the bullet points of 5 minutes packages they can ask for the key bullet points of the total and ask for a conversion to regular text/summary. And for the "see more" that divides all in 5 minutes steps the can ask for a regular text of all the batches

If it were the case, people would have switched massively to a decimal time keeping system.

The fact they did not is proof enough for me that using the same base than our number system isn't relevant. It makes sense intuitively because it's extremely rare that we have to go above 24 for hours and sixty for minutes while we divide these time periods fairly often.

I would gladly switch to base 12 just to have simpler multiplication tables (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 are really simple, 9 and A are fine while 5, 7 and B are annoying) but I am no fool and realise it's never going to happen.
Ahah, what I have observed here (I have been in 3 start-ups and interviewed quite a few people) is that people work much longer hours. It's a pretty well-known thing among french expats: if you come back to France, you are more likely to work longer hours.

Again, this is just my view of the industry, with a few data points here and there.

Programmability only matters to users who can program - which is a tiny minority. There is no sense in which HN or a PhD-packed centre like PARC represents the interests of typical users, who are perfectly happy to use relatively dumb information appliances that can only be customised with ready made applications controlled through some vaguely graphical UI/OS.

PARC's real legacy was the creation of a workable model for non-expert UIs. The Smalltalk/LISP angle was never going to be more than incidental.

I'm personally a huge fan of it. But it's completely opaque to a typical user and always will be.

AI promises to be at least as transformative because it won't be long - more than five, less than ten years - before it allows complex customised context-aware task-oriented voice commands that aren't mired in the thousands of random switches, file location inconsistencies, and other dinosaur bullshit of the UNIX command line.

12 and 60 are both optimal cases for what you are describing.

That's what highly composite numbers are: the set of natural numbers having more divisors than all smaller ones. 12 is the smallest number having 6 divisors and 60 the smallest one having 12.

Both 11 and 59 would be inconvenient bases. They are primes.

Today we are exporting Alfa Alfa as feedstock to global markets from our drought stricken southwest.

The subsidies we are providing has encouraged farming in desserts and is destroying precious water we have . Is depending on another nation so bad compared to that ?

Besides There are other ways to protect industry without subsidies- put a tariff on imports for example .

A tariff would not protect exports however just local consumption, farming subsidies are designed to dump are unsustainably grown produce in global markets not protect the local Industry.
How does that limit portability?

If you have been able to convert your deployment from x64 to aarch64, you can do the same in the other direction, or choose another cloud provider that provides aarch64 stuff. It is really easy to build container images in multiple architectures nowadays.
This is also well visible in post-communist countries.

During communism there was nothing in the shops, big families were living in small apartment with parents sleeping on beds opening from the wall. There was no disposable diapers. In general people had not much career opportunities.

And then communism collapsed, and as people became richer trough capitalism fertility rates plummeted.

And there was no policies to convince people against having big families.

The basic pattern is the same across the world poor countries have high fertility rates. Rich countries have low fertility rates. And as poor countries become rich their fertility rates go down.

From quick search electric car uses 0.15-0.2kWh per kilometer. That's amount of energy you get after delivering 200 Watts for an hour. Let's say you have 2m2 of roof (pretty generous), of very efficient panels in your driving in absolute optimal conditions when they are giving you full power (that's around 200W/m2). No loses on the inverter and such.

So you need to be going at the speed of 2km/h. Well, that's actually not that bad for a postal service. It's assuming absolute optimal conditions, but energy usage is for a typical electric car.

I doubt it would be financially net positive or carbon negative, but the idea is not as crazy as I thought assuming final delivery in medium density sunny urban areas.
You have a lot of good points that will indeed be addressed in the next posts :)

The operations on the strings are subtly expensive and I was expecting to see them above the accesses to the maps in the perf report. Now they were not and I address the problems in the order of this report, so we will have to wait a bit to discuss them. The intent is also to unroll a scenario of optimization for the reader: measure to get insight, try something, measure again, decide.

If you have the time and the motivation I would love to see a fast but not super optimized version of this program. I tried to keep using the standard library and not going into cryptic code (i.e. trying to keep the code clear for an average programmer), and I stopped when the performance gain became very small, but I am pretty sure we can get better performance if we push further.
Pilots follow checklists. In case of anything ever going wrong or even just getting in the aircraft they go through a checklist. The error popped up and the checklist said 'try x' and 'x' didn't work so it probably said 'if you can divert, do that', so they did.

That is considerable amount of effort that will definitely get you far. However, I know many people who did learned foreign language and the amount of concentrated effort you write about would be unusual for them. Sure, it took years, but no, full hour of daily immersion on regular would be exceptional.

12 and 60 just introduce more special cases, exactly because they have so many divisors.

Prime numbers have no non-trivial divisors. So more fractions get handled by the general case, the case of infinitely repeated digits.

> 12 and 60 are both optimal cases for what you are describing.

Optimal in what sense? They are certainly more convenient. I was describing mathematical elegance.

For software that runs on Mars, I think "Mars date/time" has to be a brand new set of APIs and data types. The existing date/time APIs/types are for Earth times only. The "local time zone" on Mars would just be UTC. That way there wouldn't be much possibility of bugs based on confusing Earth and Mars time scales – all pre-existing software would still work with Earth date/times, and anything that needed to deal with Mars date/times specifically would have to be modified to handle them.

With your ten digits, it's easy to symbolize eleven digits: zero, one, two, ..., nine and ten. Hence base eleven is very convenient.

Base six is probably most practical for this: You can count from zero to five on your left hand. When you go to six, you close your left hand (go to zero) and increment the count on your right hand by one. Two hands let you count from zero to thirty-five (inclusive).

I dunno, I would trust it more. Like when the IBM Deskstar drive line had a huge failure which tanked their reputation, I bought the next model line because they have to be extra careful not to screw up again. They were then the most reliable drives (until getting bought by Hitachi and then WD, but whatever). Anecdotal of course, but it makes logical sense to me to go in on the reputation saving product after an established engineering brand loses face.
The stated purpose of Kyoto was to cut emissions. We have increased emissions since signing it.

This is a solution presented in the post :)
My parents live in rural Australia and their postwoman just drives a regular 4wd pickup truck, not some special mail van. She delivers on a lot of dirt/mud tracks and has to traverse small rivers, I don't think the special USPS van is built to do that.
They separate out minivans from large vans and both types of vans are still some of the safest vehicles.

You could also ignore vans entirely and look at compact cars (the worst of the passenger vehicles) and it's still a bad look for motorcycles.

I don't know that driver quality really matters here.
If you're hit by an SUV or a truck (which is what most americans buy) when you're on a motorcycle it's going to be a worse time than if you're in a vehicle with airbags and crumple zones.
Most VPS hosting services don't build their own hardware the way some of the giants can and rely on available offering from server manufacturers. Some even use consumer grade regular tower pc. The offering is growing but is still not as large as intel/amd one.
I myself don't use Slack, but a lot of my friends at other companies do, and security is a main issue. It's good to hear that the data is indeed encrypted, so even if your server get hacked, your customers will still be safe.

Strongly disagree. Installing Ubuntu is still a bewildering process for non-Linux-experts. It actually seems to have gone downhill in the last 10 years. Mint is quite a bit more understandable.
Seems more and more that a parent's sole role is to protect their child from any sexual/physical/mental abuse or trauma. Speaking from experience one spends the rest of their life in therapy or otherwise dealing with it.
I can show you many countries with high fertility rates where people do not even have the idea of stable employment or social benefits.

Then there are rich countries, great education, great child care facilities, government support and low fertility rates.

Rich people are busy complaining about not being able to have children. Poor people just have them.
What can seem like a small improvement can often delay or even prevent major overhaul of the system. It's throwing a few crumbs at the starving peasants and we scramble to pick them from the ground instead of demanding shares of the bread. There should not be private companies profiting off publicly funded research in the first place. If it's like you say and universities will be paying those fees, that's in some ways even worse. It wouldn't surprise me if the feudal copyright lords like Elsevier actually supported this. Best thing that can happen to them is getting their fees under the table and not in the open. The less students and the public understand about how it works, the better from their point of view.

> because developers thought they can take input in one format, "escape" it enough, sprinkle with addslashes and things will work

But that is exactly what the solution is, you escape user strings, there is no other solution to the problem. Either you do it yourself or you use a library to do it, but the end result is the same, I'm not sure why you think this is impossible to do when it has been done successfully for decades.

The problem is that many fail to escape strings correctly, not that it is impossible to do.
Current postal LLVs have been in use since the 1980s. I don’t see these new ones being replaced in 10 years.
