AI Bubblesort

Bubble sort where?

What does this have to do with AI or with bubblesort?

This looks like just a list sorted alphabetically. Which unfortunately doesn't work for the use case. But has been a problem in computing for like literally 70 years.

But your explanation is sooooo much less trendy… we’re back to reddit karma bullshit :-(
- I don't think we ever left. Or that Reddit invented the circlejerk, for that matter.

I don’t see any AI, just a list that got sorted alphabetically when it shouldn’t have been.

The list would be extra fun in a foreign language but keeping the English order.
- Not exactly this, but I hate it when devices translate all the languages in the language selection screen to the chosen language. So I have to guess what "English" is in Chinese. As if it wasn't difficult enough to navigate to said menu
- And forgetting that there are countries whos first floor is the ground floor.
AI might actually do better if used to sort here since it MIGHT give you the proper order

.. and this is why we use YYYY-MM-DD as the date format.

twenty twenty five, august, five
two thousand and twenty five, february first

Umm... That's just alphabetical.

AI

This kinda shit is as old as computers.

In German, numbers are spoken from left to right, as in English, but ones and tens are always swapped. So 23 becomes three, twenty, and 135 becomes one hundred, five, and thirty:

Achter Stock (8)
Achtzehnter Stock (18)
Achtundzwanzigster Stock (28)
Dreizehnter Stock (13)
Dreiundzwanzigster Stock (23)
Dritter Stock (3)
Einundzwanzigster Stock (21)
Elfter Stock (11)
Erdgeschoss (0)
Erster Stock (1)
...

Oh, and the first floor is called the ground floor and is not counted.

The UK also has the off-by-one floor numbering.
Also a nursery rhyme with the line "four and twenty blackbirds"!

AI moaners and mislabeling something they don’t understand as AI, what a classic combination.

Vibe coding? Well, there's your problem.

Should have been digits

1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3, 30...
- Huh. 101.
  Maybe the comparable.is_greater_than(int) function needs some work. Or someone compared strings. :)

    
❯ touch `seq 1 100`
❯ ls
1    18  27  36  45  54  63  72  81  90
10   19  28  37  46  55  64  73  82  91
100  2	 29  38  47  56  65  74  83  92
11   20  3   39  48  57  66  75  84  93
12   21  30  4	 49  58  67  76  85  94
13   22  31  40  5   59  68  77  86  95
14   23  32  41  50  6	 69  78  87  96
15   24  33  42  51  60  7   79  88  97
16   25  34  43  52  61  70  8	 89  98
17   26  35  44  53  62  71  80  9   99

(Do I need to tell you how many times I fucked up like this myself?)

Those are file names, there’s no reason to assume that they would be numerical which is why ls does the right thing.
I’m of the opinion that if you want to store numbers as strings and also sort them, you give them a fixed length and leading zeroes.
- I agree that it does "the right thing", that is it behaves as documented. But that "right thing" could be surprising to a human.
  There's ls -v which does "version sort" which would seem like a more reasonable default, at least for human consumption. I know it's impossible to change now because a bajillion tools all over the place depend on the sort order.
  However new tools like eza do this by default:
  
  ❯ eza 1 6 11 16 21 26 31 36 41 46 51 56 61 66 71 76 81 86 91 96 2 7 12 17 22 27 32 37 42 47 52 57 62 67 72 77 82 87 92 97 3 8 13 18 23 28 33 38 43 48 53 58 63 68 73 78 83 88 93 98 4 9 14 19 24 29 34 39 44 49 54 59 64 69 74 79 84 89 94 99 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100
❯ ls -l | sort -n
Shouldn't that work correctly?
