@@jamesporter628 nope, I am only subscribed 100% because of Dr Mike pound, OP is right, he explains things so thoroughly, he was meant to be a teacher!
I've been a programming since 2015(I was a biology major ) now , and to think it all started with watching your videos on TH-cam. thank you for your time and being an inspiration to us all !
One of Mike's videos helped me with an MSc exam. Yes really. A concept I was struggling with, watched one of his videos on here and it made all of the more in-depth stuff come together. Beer was appropriately sent to Nottingham :) Love this channel, great people on here.

I sincerely like how enthusiastic Mike is about Computerphile as well, it took him not even a second to wonder if he did a subject for Computerphile and switch over to oh yeah I'll do a video on that.
He always explains things in a matter that is easier to understand and he has a very interesting way of delivering information that makes you want to pay attention and listen closely.

Well, the comic book Peter Parker was a bit of a science nerd. I mean, they had to come up with a reason for where his webs came from and, like, he's a bit of a chemistry nerd and invents the web formula himself.
This was a great insight. Interesting questions and even more interesting answers. As someone who is currently starting his PhD in the field of security, hearing this interview was quite inspiring.
great insight into Dr. Mike's background and thoughts. A few shrugs but no grabbing of left shoulder by left hand today probably meaning he wasn't too intellecutally troubled by the interview. He seemed a bit more conciliatory on government snooping than I would have given him credit for however? Some more grilling on this subject is in order, possibly with some of the other security types on Computerphile! A government-vs-privacy roundtable?
@@tjsm4455 Yes - 48 years of programming spanning punch cards and paper tape, toggling keys on the front of the CPU to load bootstraps through to just installing Linux on Pi plus Arduinos to run an MQTT database to monitor real time sensor data from 9 ADCs on my electricity and heating system!
Dr. Pound looks like Rory from Doctor Who, the resemblance is too strong! Happy to learn more about you Mike, your videos and eloquent yet simple explanations are a great way to start getting interested in some topic.
Interesting! I have been using a plant identification app on my phone for a while now which I find really helpful on hikes and such. I’m routinely amazed at the accuracy of the identifications given I’m just using a cell phone camera and considering how closely many plants resemble one another in terms of leaf structure, fruits etc. I wonder if any of Mike’s work went into these apps?
Still waiting for the logjam video! Logjam has been one of the most fascinating things I have ever read. You should definitely make a video on it and it's implications.
Cool to hear that you recommend the book from my professor ("Introduction to Cryptography" by Christof Paar) . Can absolutely recommentd his lecture too :)
That bit about R&D code, lol. Some of the papers I've read in undergrad were eye-bleeding to look at. That translates to industry pretty well. Whenever we have a PhD they usually write absolute garbage code and generally underperform but they know the specialty (I'm speaking specifically with respect to video encoding) with amazing amount of in-depth knowledge at a conceptual & mathematical level.
Fun fact : I did two tentative in Biology at the university before going to computer sciences. I was already programming a bit for 4-6 years before that but never a lot. When I used that as a backup plan, I went really into it :-D really nice but since I work I lost a lot of that motivation for hobby program :-(
I was a bit late to tweet my question but does any one knows: Can (Has) AI or neural network be(en) used to test encryption algorithms? Can we make an AI to do our encryption? (In genral) Has AI ever been integrated to encryption or cyber security?
Serious Question: what if we take an Ki and give him all philosophical and ethical books we have. Shouldn't he develop some kind of moral based on this?
15:10 "you don't get jobs in industry for acting like that" lol maybe not in AI/ML/Security but I've come across (and perpetrated) some similar things.

Dr. Pound should've setup his own channel already. He's a legendary lecturer.
he's a righteous dude...

He could read Vogon poetry and I would watch it anyway.
It took my brain a whole half a minute to process that reference.

He actually mentioned Doom in one of his vids so I wouldn't be surprised if he did lol.

Ah, was looking for this comment. TY!
I could've watched this Q&A for 10 hours.
from listening to music, and from having ideas from people that actually have nothing to tell, this man, and this channel, has made me have a pleasure to come back and to check for a new video. im trying to learn css and javascript it's kinda hard, i learned pascal when i was little but now i go to work im trying to do everything, but what i wanna say is, yeah, we should all learn and do something new and better.
Glad he touched on the "haphazard" code of research scientists. Definitely a pain I have felt trying to make use of research code in practice.
He could talk about the most boring thing in the universe and i would be entertained as well
I bet he could make the histroy of something like yarn interesting
HE IS WAY TOO CHARISMATIC
Love the security related video’s
Best professor for understanding fundamentals of computer secufity
Dr. Pound = The best!
Hes looks like if toby maguire what actually something of a scientist
Now I can't unsee it! Lol
I see him more like a geeky Hugh Grant =) Mikey is British you know Toby isn't
Well, the comic book Peter Parker was a bit of a science nerd.
I mean, they had to come up with a reason for where his webs came from and, like, he's a bit of a chemistry nerd and invents the web formula himself.
Mike “sound as a” Pound
KlaxonCow yeah i know thats why i said toby Maguire
Finally, peter parker revealed his secret.
This was a great insight. Interesting questions and even more interesting answers.
As someone who is currently starting his PhD in the field of security, hearing this interview was quite inspiring.
His mom must be really proud of him.
His mom probably has no idea what he’s talking about
I love your comment
I love it when he says "probably"
This is guy is awesome
I liked the video before it loaded. He is by far my favorite on computerphile.
I am grateful for your sharing of knowledge throughout the years. Keep up the good work.
People ask what celebrity you’d like to meet in person... Mike, you sir are a legend.
damn his voice accent the way he explain things... i cant get enough of it

I will now forever pronounce it “progrumming” in his honour
I did the opposite - started with biology and then got into CS! But that was 45 years ago when doing programming at home was ‘tricky’!
That's inspiring. Are you still doing research/ programming after all those years?
@@tjsm4455 Yes - 48 years of programming spanning punch cards and paper tape, toggling keys on the front of the CPU to load bootstraps through to just installing Linux on Pi plus Arduinos to run an MQTT database to monitor real time sensor data from 9 ADCs on my electricity and heating system!

Thanks Mr.Pound! That's very incouraging to hear from a fresh undergrad student's perspective :D

So as a sysadmin i go home and then play with other sysadmin stuff..... i am glad its not just me that takes sad computer stuff home :D
Thank you, these videos are so interesting!!

That knowledge is nothing if you cant code or think
Up next:
A tour of Mike’s back garden!
If I remember correctly, that question in 17:45 is what the problem of P vs NP is about, or at least, related somewhat.
He could host an opera and I’d still watch it!
Make sure you all pound the like button for Dr Mike
Thanks for doing this Mike! Love your videos and insight
I've seen so many videos with him, but only now am I learning his name.
Mike Pound is a legend
Charisma and brains inspiring ✨ 👏
do a video on log jam!

When I used that as a backup plan, I went really into it :-D really nice but since I work I lost a lot of that motivation for hobby program :-(
Thanks for the answer. I will look into the papers.
Woww, this is awesome, it's great to see you!
A video on the probalistic parser and maybe Mike's Phd would be interesting.
Thank you for the answer!
cant wait for that logjam video
That was really useful. Thanks.

i see mike, i click like
No wait, I have a new question! What was in the working from home tank? Axolotl?
What is the disadvantage of threema vs signal?
I was a bit late to tweet my question but does any one knows:
Can (Has) AI or neural network be(en) used to test encryption algorithms?
Can we make an AI to do our encryption?
(In genral) Has AI ever been integrated to encryption or cyber security?
Great guy .
fantastic.
He is like a Richard Feynman of computer science
The guy is very impressive.
12:47 The "Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act" hasn't been passed, much less implemented.
he should have his own channel lol very inteligent guy
Many biologists do programming, especially in the field of cryoEM
Isn't it pronounced Mike Sharp?
Caption?
A students stay in school forever and B students end up working for C students.
At 9:10, hap-hazard with software development? I’ll have you know I’m fully reckless with my code.
Awesome
YES
Will Mike Pound talk about Dnssec in an upcoming video maybe?
The man in the background sounds like every narrator on the discovery channel
Serious Question: what if we take an Ki and give him all philosophical and ethical books we have. Shouldn't he develop some kind of moral based on this?
I was expecting keras as his DL library.
Do you need help in subtitling your videos?
Finally!!!
15:10 "you don't get jobs in industry for acting like that" lol maybe not in AI/ML/Security but I've come across (and perpetrated) some similar things.
How spiteful and envious do you have to be to dislike any video of Dr. Pound?
Mike is basically a nerdy Harry Maguire
Wow a month per day is a lot
Man, he looks so much like Tobey Maguire..!
Was it his real dog in the steganography vid and does he think his car would have been stolen if they'd known how much of a youtube superstar he is?
It was Maserati Granturismo if anyone is wondering.
The dog in the steganography video wasn't Mike's it belongs to a friend of mine -Sean
What a legend
I just want to know if he's done any hacking on the side. If you watch his videos, he gets the most excited about things like DNS Cache Poisoning and DDOS attacks.
Wow, we had a very similar start to CS. When I went it collage I wanted to be a physics major but when I took my intro to c class I was hooked on coding. I was never interested in biology though =P
I never write bad code.
My code is _prefect_
o.o
This is so cool
More girls do biology. I did biology. :) Did CS later though.
