The shtick ain’t shtickin’, homes

There was the one debacle where he accidentally destroyed a vintage, rare IBM by shorting the power supply. I’ve also heard he’s a 2A nut who likes bringing his open-carry AR-15 to Costco to see people’s reactions.

I also find his videos unfulfilling - they don’t quite get deep enough, like Ben Eater or Displaced Gamers, for my taste.

Love Inheritance Machining, I think Brendan’s wife is editing the videos and she’s so good, they’re beautiful. Pask Makes never misses for me, I’ve grown to love his vocal quirk of upturning the final word in every other sentence 🤣

So is Kurzgesagt. Can’t bring myself to watch PE channels. But the rest of this list is fire, happy to see Asianometry and Words Unravelled get shout outs

PiSsRaG?!?! You don’t even KNOW this person and you’re willing to make such an EXTREME INSULT??? Why, I never!!! The state of modern discourse is simply AtRoCiOuS!!!

Your Reddit is showing lol

AI code reviews can assert good patterns that’s baked into the training data, but it’s impossible for an LLM to understand the whole project. LLM code reviews can’t match a senior dev’s code reviews (unless VRAM becomes astronomically cheaper).

My modest career in software development has shown me that the real value of a developer isn’t how much code they can write, it’s how well they understand the existing code base. LLMs can’t understand because that requires memory larger than an LLM’s context window, by orders of magnitude.

They code review in prod, like REAL PROGRAMMERS HOO RAH

I agree that it’s not a price issue because I wouldn’t mind paying inflated prices if that money went to the workers. It would be worth it, in fact. But the corporate entities that get that money while the workers get laid off.

The discs served as a proxy for licensing, right? It’s easy to conflate owning the disc with owning the rights to play the game; but it’s also easy to have DRM render discs useless if a game has “phone home” to unlock itself.

People don’t necessarily want discs, they want to own a copy of the game. It’s not a physical medium that really separates the two, it’s licensing and DRM software.

I betcha it’s not about economic or computational efficiency, it’s about politics. They’re data centers outside of any national borders, perfect for data laundering. It’s leverage for corporations to transcend sovereign borders.
