Here's what Chat GPT came up with:

#include <stdio.h> #define o putchar #define p main #define q(a) return a; #define r ) { #define s { #define t for #define u if #define v else #define w while

char x="a partridge in a pear tree.\ntwo turtle doves\nand three french hens, four calling birds, five gold rings;\nsix geese a-laying, seven swans a-swimming,\neight maids a-milking, nine ladies dancing, ten lords a-leaping,\neleven pipers piping, twelve drummers drumming, "; char y[]={"first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth", "seventh", "eigth", "ninth", "tenth", "eleventh", "twelfth"};

int p() s int i=0, j, k, l; t(;i<12;i++) s printf("On the %s day of Christmas my true love gave to me\n", y[i]); j=0, k=0, l=0; t(;x[j];j++) s u(x[j]==' ' && (l==i || (l<i && x[j+1]=='\n'))) s u(!k)r k=1; o('and '); } v u(x[j]!='\n')r o(x[j]); } v r k=0; l++; } } o('\n'); } q(0) }


As an enhancement to the website it’ll be cool to see how earth might look in future based on the movements so far.

Better yet: “I’m sorry, as an AI language model, I don’t have direct access to real-time information such as temperature. Can I help you with anything else?”


“dog” didn’t work the first time i searched. Showed me movies. So I believe google’s personalized search results is the culprit. Searching for “dog animal” works as mentioned by another post. Now “dog” works too.

The term valuable is subjective. What really matters is whether you are happy in whatever you’re doing. People who make good money in trading are mostly going to spend some too somewhere which indirectly puts food on table for others.


The issue was first noticed by the aircraft regarding the weight difference. So i guess, they have to report an issue to drill down the root cause. This is because several things could be the root cause. It could also have been possible that the weighing scale (i don't know the technical term) of the plane was faulty. Point being they need to report it as an issue. But i didn't see anywhere in the report that it mentioned airline manufacture was at fault? It concludes that the IT system used by the operator was at fault.


Yet the article also says it assigns a female adult, and a child a specific weight.

Which means the weight is a ballpark anyhow. They aren't weighing anyone until totalled when on the plane.

Would they blame overweight people, if a bunch of over average people got on, and skewed that??

edit: just re-skimmed the article, I still don't get how a statistically averaged weight, which can be wildly variable for specific flights, causes issue because it was wrong.

Am I missing something? Is the average supposed to mostly be OK, thus not requiring fuel changes and delays for almost all flights, sav the outliers?


There's a big difference between using a mean weight for the correct category of people—which, by definition, will on average be correct, though you might occasionally get enough very overweight people to make it slightly off—and using a mean weight for the wrong category entirely, and thus ending up systematically skewing your calculations.

Just to pull some numbers out of, ah, thin air for an example, if you were using 110lbs as the average weight of a child and 160lbs as the average weight of an adult woman, your airplane seats about 200, and roughly one-third of your passengers are adult women, half of whom use "miss" as their title, that works out to 50 lbs difference * ~30 passengers = 1500lbs.

That's gonna make a big difference.


I guess. I just envision a random scenario where a league of... overweight women, are all on the same flight.

This seems to be in the UK, so what if an all female travel group, from the US, for the portly, showed up? When I visited the US, there seemed to be an inordinate amount of people in scooters that were quite.. large.

At least, this is what was in my head.

Then again, I just realised... do they have to buy two seats? Maybe I'm over analyzing all of this.


To the best of my knowledge, there's no systematic requirement for very overweight people to buy multiple seats—though I recall hearing a couple of such people note that they tended to do so for their own comfort.

I would also point out, though, that it's just as likely that there would be something like a gymnastics or other sports team on a plane, which I think should be somewhat under the average weight (despite the extra muscle mass).


> Signal has gained 7.5 million users globally

It does not mean they use Signal. Because of the bubble, many of my friends have installed Signal, including myself, but continue to use Whatsapp. I personally use whatsapp only for very close people and I don’t want to break the chat history so switching to any other app is a bit disconcerting.


I have installed Signal and do not use it because none of my friends are on it yet. A critical mass is required before I can start using it. You can't migrate group chats from platform X to Signal until everyone in the group is on Signal. This isn't bad news really, as long as people continue installing Signal, eventually I'll be able to start group threads on Signal. I guess it is only a matter of time, assuming more people continue downloading Signal. I think the easier sell is to just get people to install it -- they don't have to use it right away. Then the early adopters can start group threads and chats as they become possible, which will start the shift from other platforms to Signal (assuming people continue installing Signal, of course).


Work from home for people living by themselves away from family (separated by countries) gets depressing and will most likely impact productivity at work.


While I fit the profile you mention...After 20 years WFH, I can't say I find it depressing. YMMV, but I think its how you do it. The lockdowns have probably made WFH seem a lot more isolating (no working from hacker spaces, coffe shops, etc.)


Possibly why I haven't found wfh at all a problem like others here. I live in a house with 4 other people so its not at all lonely.


I still use my 2015 MacBook Pro. Built in hdmi port, card reader, USB ports, MagSafe charging.
