The most unrealistic part of the movie 2010
You know that scene in 2010 when Floyd asks Chandra to reprogram HAL to return to Earth early because of the new “feature” they discovered on Jupiter? Think back to Chandra’s reaction. He’s calm and responds, “Well, I just finished programing HAL for a 1000 day return trip back to Earth and now you want me to scrap all that and reprogram HAL for …
Nope, Chandra would have reacted more like this, “Are you fraking kidding me? Do you know how hard it is to program a holistic computer? I’ve had to hack my code so many times because of your screw ups that it’s become a house of cards in there. No wonder HAL went nuts. You’ve got code telling to do all sorts of contradictory things.”
Fifteen minutes later he would be sitting at a console, sipping an espresso, and mumbling to himself, “Okay, I’ll just comment this code out and then make this class dynamic . . . I think this is going to work. . . ”
Yeah, nothing like this has never happened to me.
