I have never programmed so much as "Hello World" yet here I am watching my 4th Dylan Beattie lecture. I'm pretty sure this man is going to single-handedly turn me into a programmer. This stuff is fascinating.
I'm sorry Dylan... but, technically, that's an endoskeleton - just like the rest of us have got! But, hey, it's still titanium so, you know, still got kudos for that!
30:12 Great example of how context is important: I parsed 1622 as a time of day in 24-hour time, and had to pause the video while I tried to figure out how "and wristwatches haven't been invented yet" made sense. It took me a moment to realize my misunderstanding, which ended up making me laugh harder at the joke than I might have otherwise, haha
27:49 I've heard that joke a thousand times, but the Project Manager addition was new to me and totally cracked me up XD I just love this guy. No matter what topic, the lectures are always just making me happy and inspired. On a total side note, I'm also really, really glad that he mentioned autism in passing. Autism really is a thing, and it's really, really hard for those affected, and there is a horrible lack of resources for appropriate support systems and organizations, especially if you're not diagnosed as a child. It's just really nice that he reminds people that is does exist. Good man.
As an experiment, I googled "Why am I different?" Top hit was an advert for expensive therapy... First thing that looked worth clicking on was an article on Medium that turned out to be written by an SEO specialist and was hidden behind a paywall... It's funny because both of those things, JUST BY EXISTING, perfectly answered the question "Why am I different?"
Brilliant talk - on par with other talks I've heard him give on TH-cam, that is. The part about context and NLP reminded me of a fun incident I've had in Hungary years ago. At a food joint, I chatted with the worker there who told me just how many hours she had worked lately. MANY. Wow, I said. You must be tired. No, she replied, I must NOT be tired! Here's assumption of linguistic context in one short conversation for you. --- Now, both of us aren't native in English. I'm more privileged, which changed a grammatical balance there, but she was as fluent as I was. Would a computer analyzing this conversation, participating in a similar one, analyze our fluency at the language? Then it may assume that if I know something, she will too. If it doesn't, we'll both think it's condescending. An algorithm like that must have flaws, but sometimes it must also not have flaws.
Pity he got Moore's law wrong. Moore's law doesn't talk about computing power, but just the amount of transistors available on a chip doubles approximately every 18 months... Those are two different things.
"When you sit on an aeroplane, does it matter that you're male or female" now how would the companies direct their marketing if they didn't know what the ratio of genders is? That is very very important to the society and we can't remove that functionality. I've never seen such crosswords hint in Finnish crosswords and I'm so glad, because parsing the meaning from that is just nuts. More like guess every possible meaning rather than a hint. They say that there are no bad questions, but I think there are. However it's not too bad, but coming up with the good questions is a real skill. You can figure out almost anything if you come up with the right questions. If you just throw bad questions at things, you won't get any useful information if any information at all. On the other hand sometimes the bad questions are good questions when you ask about something that's assumed to be true just because we've assumed it's true. The fantastic thing about this being 6 years old is how that difficulty of asking google the right things (especially with how bad the algorithm has become if you aren't looking for the most popular thing in the current moment that even slightly might relate to what you typed in) is that chatgpt really does that job now where it feels like it actually understands what you're TRYING to find out, not what you typed. Especially because googling your symptoms can be the worst experience of your life until you find out it's actually nothing. Also the reason why many doctors don't want to scan their patients with MRI etc unless you really have to: they'll find so many potential cancers and issues because it's so comprehensive that they'll end up treating a lot of things that you wouldn't have ever known about.
I stumbled across one Dylan Beattie video and the algorithm decided that I would love it if 95% of my feed should just be Dylan Beattie videos from now on. And the algorithm was RIGHT.
To be fair it's a pretty clear subset of the internet and the diminishing access to spaces for teenagers to be teenagers. If they had other stuff to do and 3 less apps on their phones it would be a different game.
We simply have to switch to trapdoor algorithms for which there are no known quantum computing attack, i.e. nothing like Shor's algorithm for factoring: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm
As a user of the Django ORM, I have changed from mysql to postgreSQL out of necessity. I followed the advice at the start of the project (you wont change DB) but it is not true. Wish I researched the differences upfront.
6:11 Charles Babbage also invented the "Analytical Engine" an general-purpose computer in 1837. It was nevet built, but over 100 years later proven to be "turing complete" (meaning that you could do any possible calculation that fit in it's memory with it).
47:50 thank god for GDPR !!! Thank god for GDPR compliance !! So I don't think the photographer can own your picture of you without your consent which you can withdraw anytime and ask the photographer to eradicate pictures and All info personally related to you.
yes thank science and in god we trust and global cooperatives.. there is SO much going on 2022 is the start of something mindblowing want fun ? look at the term "quantum 2.0"
46:02 there is an easy solution for this: 1. Don't connect it to the internet. 2. Use USB drives for data transfer, that are not allowed to be taken outside of the hospital or connected to any device except ones that are either not connected to the internet or secure.
7:10 what? it was **2100** years since the antikythera mechanism, which was _quite sophisticated_ mechanically, yet they couldn't make the gears? But a _hundred_ years later, they could? I call shenanigans!
While I appreciate the point on factoring 773,978,585,664,881, there are algorithms that go faster than "thousands every second," and it wouldn't take weeks. My 12 year old Phenom box did this in about 74ms. That was actually pretty slow compared to my 6 year old Raspberry Pi 2B, which did it in 9ms. Not sure why the Phenom was so slow at this compared to the R-Pi. Probably lazy-FPU wakeup.

This guy is a real rockstar programmer in every sense of the word
Rockstar…good one!
Except using an iPhone 😂
I could not agree more, although I'd rather call him "rockstar lecturer" :)
I have never programmed so much as "Hello World" yet here I am watching my 4th Dylan Beattie lecture. I'm pretty sure this man is going to single-handedly turn me into a programmer. This stuff is fascinating.
basically how I got into coding. Something popped up on my TH-cam home page, I clicked on it, and now I build websites.
i know it's been a year, but i believe in you :)
And it is almost 1 in the morning and I can't stop...
So did you start?
Dylan is perhaps the best speaker in all of tech. Absolute joy to watch
I regularly search for this video, just to listen again to its ending (from 54:09).
I'm sorry Dylan... but, technically, that's an endoskeleton - just like the rest of us have got! But, hey, it's still titanium so, you know, still got kudos for that!
But, it's outside of the bone and it supports the bone, not the body, so exoskeleton is technically correct.
@@larryd9577 its exoskeletal extension support for your endoskeleton XD
"...and I would rather live in a world, where database is accurate, users are happy, and form validation does not suck."
Thank you Dylan. So inspiring!

Absolutely amazing speaker.
10:02 5*11=55 not 65!
Yeah, I noticed that too... I think I was thrown by 65 being the answer on the next slide. Oops. Well spotted. :)
Ah, thanks. I thought I was thick! (Really entertaining keynote btw!)
My brain halted for a second :D
He had too much beer while preparing for the talk the night before.
Junior dev: yes right it's wrong! Mid dev: it's just a warning not an error. Don't care. Senior dev: 5×11!=65 well...depends...
Fabulous talk, thank you, really made me smile
Pity he got Moore's law wrong. Moore's law doesn't talk about computing power, but just the amount of transistors available on a chip doubles approximately every 18 months... Those are two different things.
Different but related. I think it's a valid paraphrase.

Super. And end song was special.
Like love the song at the end !! :) Suncreem!! Flatscreen!! Ha ha !! Lol 😆😂😆 good talk !! 😄💖👍
It's kinda sad that no one else got the "wear sunscreen" reference so far.
the sunscreen cover really touched me. thank you

Cheers mate, very engaging talk.
The idea that the internet would improve teenage mental health has not exactly aged well.
To be fair it's a pretty clear subset of the internet and the diminishing access to spaces for teenagers to be teenagers. If they had other stuff to do and 3 less apps on their phones it would be a different game.

Oh, so this is where that segment about advice came from. Nice.
After Dylan asked Alexa "where's my phone" my Alexa called my phone from a US number and I got very confused for a moment 😂
5 x 11 is 55 baby. You had too much beer.
He actually went to great detail about the day where he "had too many beers", with Siri :-)

Wonderful cover of "Don't forget to wear sunscreen".
Crazy that with new NLP systems like ChatGPT, we've already made seriously headway into the world he describes.
What is the song a play upon? So familiar, but I can't quite find it. Thanks

@@gushiperson Thank you. That’s the one 👍

I love this guy
This guy is Vsauce Michael Stevens as a (rockstar) programmer.
it feels different after having used AI tools to answer questions, watching the part about googling with context
Yeah, I thought about that immediately. What a thing to more or less be "solved" just five years later.
My fav where else can I find Dylan?
The birth date load balancing thing can be easily solved by using a hash/checksum of the whole form.
Aaaah Encarta'95, lovely
Six years later, the apple watch has that level of Fall Detection.
24:16 and what if your last name spelling has more than 10 letters¿..
52:15 Yeah man, but the point you're missing is that you are not allowed to know. It's not like the answers dont exist.
This is brilliant
I'm a wee bit disappointed that he didn't, at some point, ask the mother of all questions: "P=NP?"
12 minutes in, nothing that each one of the attendees didn't know for years.
Strange.
5 x 11 is not 65.....
Love the virtual assistant
18:45 I still do these in my Treepad.
srsly Siri answered in this way? Is the convo pre-recorded? wow that's super cool😂
Probably. "Somebody posted a video on Instagram of you doing Bon Jovi karaoke. Badly." 😆
07:04 I think he may have mixed up Babbage’s difference engine and his analytical engine
56:43 of course it was a cue to read the comments of this video
