Ah. My point was more that there are losses assocated with these conversions and you can't move all of it to the upstream power plant. ICE vehicles burn fuel and create rotational mechanical energy which other than gear reductions doesn't require conversion. Electric does chemical -> electrical and then electrical -> mechanical with losses at each step here right?

It's a common mistake to use ChatGPT (GPT 3.5 Turbo Model) and make statements about LLM's in general, even though GPT 4 is way ahead. Here's the result from your prompt from GPT4:

I absolutely love Xmonad, and I'm very impressed by how easy its architecture makes it to get complex changes to your environment off the ground. It's a godsend in terms of interfacing with the box, mostly because its configuration is so good, I just wish it had some prettier GUI building blocks to use --- the included packages like TreeSelect and GridSelect are absolutely hideous. I've always assumed their problem could be that no one who can really do UI is interested in an X WM focused on functionality over style, but it's a shame.

SOME parts of an engineer's work are 2x faster, but not all. Generating code - yes, writing tests and docs - yes, designing the system - no, debugging - no, attending meetings - no, getting your data faster, or moving the other team to finish integration sooner - no help. So it's going to be 10% boost overall, not 100%.

The nice effect is that the AI makes people more confident to try things and go out of their comfort zone. Maybe the quality of the end product will be higher.

I owe my career to Flash. I got started because my school would block game sites, and we weren't allowed to play games at lunch time.

Thanks for creating Rivet! I use it for several separate pieces of interactive functionality on my home server, the way some may use PHP. The API is simple enough, and if you already know Tcl it doesn't take you long to get started. I like how easy it is to add file uploading to an existing form with ::rivet::upload.

> Tcl was... is a fantastic language for doing web development.

Except for JSON. You can't round-trip JSON through Tcl because dicts are lists are strings. There are solutions out there (https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/JSON), I even wrote a few of them, but in the end there is a fundamental impedance mismatch. It gets in the way of emitting JSON from quick hacks or the REPL because you essentially need an explicit schema.

For text-based templates, Tcl is good. I have written code to generate CSS in Tcl and loved how well the language fit the task.

(I found this out for CSS when I contributed a responsive stylesheet for https://www.tcl-lang.org/. I wanted a CSS preprocessor to avoid repetition, and one that would never break, at least not before Tcl did. I think it worked well. The template uses subst and some variables. It is Tcl 9-ready. :-) I recommend trying it if you do web development in Tcl.)

C++ example:

using array = std::array<int, 10>;

array make(array* y) {
array result = {...};
assert(&result != y);
return result;
}

array x = make(&x);

Normally in C++ distinct objects (result and x) have distinct addresses, so the assert would be guaranteed not to fire. But NRVO is explicitly allowed in the standard to violate this guarantee, so result can overlap with x. In rust you likely cannot get the address of the not-yet-constructed x, but it might be possible to construct equivalent examples.

These activists are researching and aiming to innovate, updating their important schedule and planning, and increasing their salary. They introduce the help they provide in the aspect of the living standards where they are working.

Is the Mongolian state working on an internal project with an 80-million budget for development with an important schedule and planning?

The Mongolian script you've provided appears to be in Classical Mongolian, which is written vertically. Here is my attempt at translating the text into English:

The Mongolian nation has a long and rich history, and the customs and culture of the people have been passed down from generation to generation. The land is vast and diverse, with many different landscapes and natural wonders to explore. Over the centuries, the Mongolian people have overcome many challenges and have continued to adapt and grow, forging a strong and unique identity.

Mongolia has a proud heritage that dates back over 80 years, and the people have always been resilient and determined in the face of adversity.

an interesting read, not the usual writing style.
All of this was addressed in my first message. Especially the idea that Linux customers having special requests should rather shut up.

Everyone has special requests, especially around the idea of having a decent UI that doesn’t make you lose heaps of time with Linux, and as I said, what Linux lacks is proper PMs and marketing guys who would sort and address these UX issues.

And fewer obnoxious mobs who just give you the link to pay up and ask you to shut up about your special requests.

Yep, it used to be top to bottom, and the columns were arranged right to left. As a side effect of this recent transition, it's not particularly difficult to read Korean right to left, either.

It's the same in Chinese and Japanese. It helps a lot that the letters are designed fit into individual square blocks. The blocks can be arranged any way you want. There have been internet memes, for example, written to mean one thing when you read left to right and a completely different thing top to bottom.

What I have learned over the years is that there's no experience to shortcut. For example, a Django developer might learn GTK in two weeks but their code won't be as polished as someone writing GTK applications for a decade.

The thing is - they didn't do a stupid thing. They didn't know any better.
A skilled academic who knows how to write those things will have a strike rate orders of magnitude better than a medicore one. That is why there are professionals ... they do it better.
> I remember the tedium of having to maintain your own stacktrace

With Carp::confess you get the stack trace easily when throwing an exception. It's been a core module for ages.

Of course, Perl lacks a flexible condition system like Common Lisp. So all you got is an exception object you can try to handle but no restart handlers you can use to go back down the stack trace. But that's a common limitation of almost all languages supporting exceptions natively.

> which is ~27% of the energy required to run a normal car!

This is because you're not comparing the same things: going from thermal energy to mechanical energy has a much lower efficiency than going from electricity to mechanical energy. But that electricity has to come from somewhere, and most of the losses happen at the electricity generation place instead of in the car.

> It just wouldn't have been possible to run cars on batteries without this efficiency bump.

Electric motor have always been far more efficient than ICE ones, even in the 19th. In fact, the difference was even bigger, because combustion engine sucked hard back then, whereas electric engine didn't make as much progress as combustion engine ones (that doesn't mean that they didn't make progress, they did, but there's far less of a difference between an electric engine of 1920 and the one in a Tesla, than between an ICE engine then and now).

I've had no trouble (well, only portable trouble) with React Native (Android) on Windows: Grail, Android Studio and SDK emulators, npm and pnpm, React Native command line tools, Git, Java, Visual Studio Code (to host the React Native Debugger).

What do you do that works better on WSL?
Not entirely true, most transmissions have a system of torque converters and clutches. The torque converters convert rotational energy into fluid pressure to gain a kind of mechanical advantage. The clutches slip and make heat, usually to allow other parts of the transmission to interact without destroying gears.

Once you get to cruising speed the transmission usually engages something called a "lockup" that bypass all that to get as close to the 100% number for energy transfer as possible.
to be fair, google translate misidentifies a lot of input if instructions are unclear.

And I think it's acceptable that they do not offer transcription for all the foreign scripts. Though helpful it would be, it's also very likely to make many mistakes.

Either way GPT4 fails too. It hasn’t used g as it claimed and has used e twice.
"Grind to a halt" is an awful overstatement here. They should really be saying "farmers lose 4% efficiency boost from downed GPS system" instead.

I worry there's a serious misconception in the discussion of this article on the current utility of these GPS systems. It's not like Interstellar, where farm equipment can run unattended--you still need a worker in the tractor to perform the turns at each corner and monitor any deficiencies in the seeder/sprayer. I grew up on a farm growing the crops listed in this article. We didn't get GPS guidance on any of our tractors until the early 2010's--GPS is a convenience, not a dependency. If GPS systems were malfunctioning, we would revert to the way we had planted for decades: drive in a straight line towards the next n'th fence post over at each turn.
Also related to both, cutting corners (literally) when making turns, american drivers seem to have a real problem with tight turns. One reason why it’s risky to stop over the line incidentally, as a car making a shallow turn is very likely to step into your lane if they don’t take an over-wide turn instead.

I am probably going to lose some precious poinnnttts for this, but I sure wish they could instead target browsers instead, whether by using the canvas, WebGL, three.js, A-Frame, or something else. This would have the immediate benefit of making the software work on the Web or as a local webapp any device that supports a browser, and they would have a much larger pool to hire from. They could also come up with with great libraries.

It is not quite in the same league, but we already have SVGEdit[1] as an example. as well as diagrams.net, but taking a 2023 approach would be much more performant and open ended.

> I think the Perl 6 debacle is mostly at fault.

I don't think it has anything to do with it. Perl 5 is an old language. Period. And Javascript came to inherit Perl's position as a "web glue language". These days JavaScript is an okayish language to use in this case.

Raku fka "Perl 6" is out and alive: https://www.raku.org/

It turned out to be a very powerful programming language but lacks the large niches Perl 5 (the web) or Python (machine learning) catered to.
