The Eternal Doorman

Scott Wlaschin gives popular talks. This one is on Pipeline-oriented programming, given at NDC in 2023: This stuff is actually complete rocket science, otherwise people at Google would know how to use it to design decent apps. Since people at Google can not design decent apps, ... My  comment : 15:36 Great to see Microsoft doing all it can to uphold Murphy's law! 22:38 His laptop was only displaying PowerPoint slides, but it crashed twice. Seems Microsoft can't design software either.  Subscribe to NDC. We don't need programming paradigms, we need effective methods for programming computers. There is a massive inefficiency in all modern software systems which people don't even seem to be able to see because it is so entrenched in the way programming languages and operating systems work. This inefficiency is also a major source of security vulnerabilities, so there is a lot to gain by not doing it. Most of the time most of what a computer does is just deconstructing ...

My comment : These are fun talks, thanks for sharing them. One of the reasons I am interested in smooth manifolds and Lie group representations is that I think there's something interesting going on when you go up one dimension and an instance of it might be in this idea of identifying a knot from a picture taken with a phone. If instead of taking a picture you take a moving video recording as you move the point of view around the knot then you develop a kind of 2-manifold, don't you? I think of it like this because the knot itself is a 1-manifold, and as you turn it around in the embedding space its projection evolves continuously.This doesn't make sense mathematically because the point of view of the camera doesn't change anything about the knot itself which just sits there, but to me there seems to be some sense you could think of the string tracing out a continuous surface in space as it rotates, and if it rotates through 360° and the position ...

Because it's part of the Military Industrial Complex, it can't do anything else. This stuff is not what Humanity needs, it's what big tech needs to stay in the driving seat. The plan is that computing becomes something that happens in Low Earth Orbit and so if you want to do anything with it you better make sure you have 20,000 satellites up there.
