In the early 1980's i created many programs on a TI-59 programmable calculator that often took hours or even days to complete. I then put an AM radio receiver close to the calculator, and by carefully tuning it, I was able to listen to the electronic "music" of calculation, and I could tell, just by hearing, in which loop the program was looping into, and how far it was from achieving its final task. That was a truly artistic moment.
"Taking lightning and sticking it in a rock until it learns to think" has to be the single greatest description of computers ever. Bravo to the orator!
This lecture will never get old. I've watched it 4 to 5 times in past 1 year. Every time I see it, it entertains like a movie and yet has the ability to impart knowledge!
6 years of university studies and another 6 years of practical computer development and I have never seen many of the things shown in this video. I have just shared it everywhere. Amazing content.

As Andres said, I'm a senior dev and I've seen almost all of this before, including having read Hoftstaeder, etc. There were some genuinely new things that were interesting/inspiring, but he can't expect developers to be new to most of this. Don't get me wrong, this was a great presentation and we need more like it.

29:00 A program that prints its own source code reminded me of my first project in Programming 101 in college about 40 years ago. The project was to use Apple Basic on an Apple II to write a program and document the program in a flowchart. I thought flowcharting was dumb so I wrote a program that would create a flowchart of itself. Self documenting. Professor was a little pissed. Flowcharting was replaced with adding comments as programs became way too complex to make flowcharting useful. Add comments were largely replace with the reality that comments often mismatch code as code is changed and comments remain. But I still use a lot of comments but mostly as brainstorming.
There is this global disdain for COBOL, but there are COBOL programs that are still running, basically untouched for over 40 years. If a programmer is careful with their variable names (spending enough time in the Data Division), COBOL can be essentially self-documenting, saving an extra step. I have always believed in paragraph documentation, where you write a paragraph describing what a procedure or block of code is intended to do and then add in descriptions of any particularly tricky techniques that are used therein. Line by line comments are essentially useless to any but the totally clueless and if they are that clueless, they don't belong in there in any case.
@EramSemperRecta i mean same with us. we just react to whatever our sensors are outputting and our previous experiences with things, be that something that happend 5 years ago or 5 seconds. The Human brain is really complex, no question, but it isn't magic. Computers and the Human brain are both based on the rules of the universe, so why shouldn't computers be able to do the same as a brain?
@EramSemperRecta Yeah? Why do you think we have the same basic construct of carbon? Why didn't carbon atoms or molecules just stay as they are? It's an order from chaos that basically portrayed by people making the conway's game of life. A banana is a banana. So does many variety of bananas, they are their own.
@EramSemperRecta dear Sir, everything change, by evolution, engineering or extinction. Artificial Intelligence is just inevitable. But is normal to have a hard time trying to understand scales bigger than our lifetime. for example you talk about bananas being the same in a billion years. Only a thousand years ago the bananas you find in the supermarket doesn't exist, the bananas of our time had been developed by selecting seeds and species , and that process continue today, we try to develop fruits more resistant to plagues, that grow faster, use less water, etc. And if bananas change in less than a thousand years, what a computer will be in 1000 years is totally away of our imagination.
I was introduced to “Hello World” when I entered college and took my first programming course. Pascal was all the rage at the time and we all got a taste for “ type it in, it will work.” It didn’t for most and confusion over ‘ and ` was the issue. I have worked un software development for decades and seen my share of interesting talks. This one, pardon the pun, Rocks. Thank you.
I too was duped into paying for the PL experience, After Fortran and Pascal I was about as useful as Betamax, However it was very useful when I took other PL's because of the logic.Dylan is very entertaining and a knowledgeable source of information.
"If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself." - Alber Einstein. You sir, you explained it to even a fool like me, and this fool able to get it.
Einstein never said this, Richard Feynman come up with a learning technique where you explain an idea in a simple way to someone in order to understand, but Einstein never said that quote ever lol.
Do you know what makes this presentation amazing, except this guy's skills? The fact that it is full of visualizations...that's how our brain understands!
@peter g i think that the final part is to visualize every idea...you can use metaphors,similes, analogies but in the end ,in my opinion, everything is converted into an image
@@nathanepimetheus8530 He is probably referring to people that are literally unable to visualize stuff in their minds, as recent studies have shown. Not that it matters to the "bs" guy up there...
I had just started coding 7 months ago, and I've seen this video once a moth since my first "Hello World". Every time I recap this awesome lecture, I discover something new and understand something intrinsic about the topics. Just awesome
Once you begin delving into Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming", you'll quickly realize that programming is, indeed, an art. Even though it's nearly half a century old, even though it uses outdated computer models and languages, it still never fails to amaze me. Knuth is a genuine genius.
I'm a programmer with terrible ADHD such that it takes me three hours to watch a 30 minute TV show, but was so enrapt with every second of this brilliant video that I couldn't look away.
I still until this day repeat this wonderful presentation, I watched it for the first time with a limited knowledge in computer science, and yet I loved it. and now as a junior software engineer, I love it even more than before
Absolute legend, this conference was incredibly entertaining from start to finish. This guy has such an awesome mind, i love it, thanks a lot for this hour !!
Fantastic! Can only appreciate the tons of work that went into preparing the presentation. I distinctly remember the buzz getting my first program to work (1962 using FORTRAN). Now, 58 years later, just got the same buzz programming a simple game in C#. BTW - Donald Knuth "The Art of Programming" - totally brilliant books.
As an artist, designer, developer, lover of film making, rock music, philosophy and many other thins creative and academic (not to mention rebellious)-this is one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen in my entire life. THANK YOU!!
@@samiraperi467 I think you can think of the real and imaginary parts of a complex number as paths along the real and imaginary axis. If you think about the argand plane it makes sense. So the pun is even better that way!
I studied C programming about 30 years ago (DOS was still the dominant PC OS; Windows was a mere shell). I'm thrilled to hear that the Obfuscated C contest still exists!! However, I'm not sure which I'm more impressed by: Mandelbrot code that looks like the Mandelbrot set, or the Game of life played on a computer generated by the Game of life! Both are pretty damned meta. The Uroboros PolyQuine is a real standout as well, but all of these examples are truly awe-inspiring!
Me and my best friend got together for a week to work on our year end projects and wasted half the week by playing with Winamp visualization studio and came up with some strange equations, which made really great animations and images. Best procrastination adhd episode i've ever had :)
when TH-cam recommended this to me I had no clue what this video possibly could've been about, and I also had no clue that watching this 1 hour video to the end definitely wouldn't feel like 1 hour at all :o
I'm so happy to find people like this among the net. Dang introvert creatives gotta stop hiding behind their screens and show the world their work so us plebs can collab with them.
Such a fantastic talk! Well structured, touches a myriad of topics, talks about stuff I knew something about but expands it with something I didn't know, has high and low concept topics, language agnostic, fun and then it tops it off with a finale worthy of closing any convention. Bravo!
I had just started coding 3 weeks ago. Just barely grasping html & css but already have imposter syndrome and feel so overwhelmed with more things to learn. Thank you for thia beautiful talk. Looks like all my interests point to programming direction.

god on you isaac! maybe you can program a physics engine for your laws of motion
Thank you Newton, please write the next great physics engine for us.
My favourite talk I’ve found on the internet. What a brilliant man. What a brilliant world we live in.
can't believe i watched the whole thing..that was 1 hour of my life! and it was damn worth it!
Same the time just went by
Do you know what makes this presentation amazing, except this guy's skills? The fact that it is full of visualizations...that's how our brain understands!
@peter g i think that the final part is to visualize every idea...you can use metaphors,similes, analogies but in the end ,in my opinion, everything is converted into an image
@peter g excuse me, that's bs.
Perhaps what Peter g is referring to are blind people.
@@nathanepimetheus8530 He is probably referring to people that are literally unable to visualize stuff in their minds, as recent studies have shown.
Not that it matters to the "bs" guy up there...
@@patriciaverso I am part of the people who can't visualize images in their mind
I had just started coding 7 months ago, and I've seen this video once a moth since my first "Hello World". Every time I recap this awesome lecture, I discover something new and understand something intrinsic about the topics. Just awesome
Listening to this guy is never boring. He's a great epic storyteller.
It's high time to thanks TH-cam algorithm for recommending me this masterpiece to watch! Happy new year 😊
Q
"The thrill has never gone away."
Amen brother.
Just when I thought I've seen everything... awesome performance at the end, wasn't expecting a musical performance!
This is by far the best talk I have ever watched and I'm confident it will remain for quite a while.
Now, this is one of the best presentations I've listened to in a while. What an amazing speaker...was hooked in at every minute!
The talk is amazing by itself, but the ending is what makes it legend
When you want to become a rockstar but your mom makes you learn programming.
hahaagahhaahhaha
Typo... you meant mum
Great talk tho :)
@@burntt999 Not really, mom is American English while mum is British English
TRUE!
Not a conflict!
Once you begin delving into Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming", you'll quickly realize that programming is, indeed, an art. Even though it's nearly half a century old, even though it uses outdated computer models and languages, it still never fails to amaze me. Knuth is a genuine genius.
He’s gotta be the coolest dude I’ve ever seen in a long time
On a scale from crazy to genius this guy goes to 11!
Such a wonderful and unique talk.
Everything about this lecture is Absolutely Fascinating. This video has a better explanation of Conway’s Game of Life than Veritasium.
When he drew out a guitar i thought this speak can't be any more epic
This was by far the most beautiful "pattern" I saw this year. Thank you for this overwhelming inception
This is it!! This is my new benchmark about how good a technical talk could be.
My first TH-cam 1 hour video that I didn't skip for a second. It was a journey.
I'm a programmer with terrible ADHD such that it takes me three hours to watch a 30 minute TV show, but was so enrapt with every second of this brilliant video that I couldn't look away.
I still until this day repeat this wonderful presentation, I watched it for the first time with a limited knowledge in computer science, and yet I loved it. and now as a junior software engineer, I love it even more than before
Absolute legend, this conference was incredibly entertaining from start to finish. This guy has such an awesome mind, i love it, thanks a lot for this hour !!
Fantastic! Can only appreciate the tons of work that went into preparing the presentation. I distinctly remember the buzz getting my first program to work (1962 using FORTRAN). Now, 58 years later, just got the same buzz programming a simple game in C#. BTW - Donald Knuth "The Art of Programming" - totally brilliant books.
frenchdarts froom us2heebeegeebiz resyklorepeetez...bbc...queen ..yuh...!!!!
A whole hour of absolute joy. This man is brilliant!
As an artist, designer, developer, lover of film making, rock music, philosophy and many other thins creative and academic (not to mention rebellious)-this is one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen in my entire life. THANK YOU!!
I feel like I just watched an entire movie, complete with the end credit song. Incredible.
this was the best one hour of my life, i've never been more focused on someone's presentation than this guy, you're amazing.
Thank you, TH-cam algorithm and auto-play. I would never have found this on my own and my life is better for it.
I was loosing my will to code but I am inspired now. Great, great talk. Thank you 🙏
LOSING
This was beautiful! You had me smiling at many different parts of this video from the beauty of combining math, code, and art.
Well said!
This is seriously the BEST talk i've ever seen!
peter g damn bro chill
peter g I’m 17, it’s not wrong to be young and learning. Chill
This was an amazing talk. Well put together, full of surprises, full of languages I forgot existed. Well done!
So my product manager goes in Slack not two minutes after I finished watching this calling everyone rockstars. Epic.
Brilliant session every programmer should see !.
Devotion and dedication to his craft is inspiring
"A complex number is like a project plan: It has a path that is real, and a path that is imaginary" LOL LOL LOL LOL
I was confused, whether to laugh or not
*part
"... and it's very difficult to predict, what is going to happen next."
Was looking for this quote - epic 😂.
I'm telling this to everybody at work today.
@@samiraperi467 I think you can think of the real and imaginary parts of a complex number as paths along the real and imaginary axis. If you think about the argand plane it makes sense. So the pun is even better that way!
I studied C programming about 30 years ago (DOS was still the dominant PC OS; Windows was a mere shell). I'm thrilled to hear that the Obfuscated C contest still exists!! However, I'm not sure which I'm more impressed by: Mandelbrot code that looks like the Mandelbrot set, or the Game of life played on a computer generated by the Game of life! Both are pretty damned meta. The Uroboros PolyQuine is a real standout as well, but all of these examples are truly awe-inspiring!
Me and my best friend got together for a week to work on our year end projects and wasted half the week by playing with Winamp visualization studio and came up with some strange equations, which made really great animations and images. Best procrastination adhd episode i've ever had :)
Mind blown! Best talk I ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you Dylan Beattie, you are awesome!
Oh yeah, man ! You should see the smile on my face after watching your video ! Rockstart remids me of Hypercard, but written by Kiss ;) Brilliant !
This talk will never grow old. I will show this to my grand children in 40 years from now to get them into programming :)
when TH-cam recommended this to me I had no clue what this video possibly could've been about, and I also had no clue that watching this 1 hour video to the end definitely wouldn't feel like 1 hour at all :o
OMG why are you here lol I watch your vids
I read your message and I had to verify for myself because it really didn't feel like an hour at all!
Legit one of the best talks i've heard in a while
Uwu ?
@@itsmedante.5325 yes
One of the best, most entertaining talks of all times! Makes me want to write the "Game of life" in rockstar and then compile it to JS!
This was not only a good talk it was a great stand up comedy show, a night at the museum and a 80s rock concert all into one
polyperformance
I just love it when older computer people go down the memory lane.
I'm so happy to find people like this among the net.
Dang introvert creatives gotta stop hiding behind their screens and show the world their work so us plebs can collab with them.
From start to finish, this is possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever seen!
Well... except The Princess Bride, obviously.
Brilliant talk! You've touched upon many of my favourite things about code!
Such a fantastic talk! Well structured, touches a myriad of topics, talks about stuff I knew something about but expands it with something I didn't know, has high and low concept topics, language agnostic, fun and then it tops it off with a finale worthy of closing any convention. Bravo!
I watched this lecture yesterday and now I came back here just to say: that chorus is really sticky (my mind is still singing [..]hate is nothing ♫)
Thanks, this is exactly what i need after hard day full of programming
What are you makin?
This is a multi-talented guy. One of the best lectures I've ever seen.
I have never wanted to learn about compiler programming so much before in my life!
24:48 👏👏 exactly what I was envisioning for code. Glad someone else finally moving in that direction.
I had just started coding 3 weeks ago. Just barely grasping html & css but already have imposter syndrome and feel so overwhelmed with more things to learn. Thank you for thia beautiful talk. Looks like all my interests point to programming direction.
First coding talk I see that ends in a rock concert x) Great content!
this talk tickles your curiosity deep down...amazing.
I just witnessed the greatest storytelling expert saying some great words in my life. Just wow... Can't believe how time went by this fast.
Okay. I agree I'm not a software engineer yet after some 15 years in the software industry. Back to the drawing board.
