  1. Professor Brailsford has the best anecdotes on this channel, hands down

  2. I had no idea atoms existed at all! This is awesome

  3. In this objective, unbiased video, Dr Moran explains the nuances of news consumption habits, and how things like satire can easily be mistaken for real news reports. He also discusses ways of counteracting this with computers. He raises questions such as "how do we know what isn't fake news" and "can our own biases effect this effort?" Nobody spamming the dislike button knows this though, they just read the title and felt personally attacked. Who knows why? Do they just deny the concept itself?

  4. I like listening to Dr Thor here But I'm gonna be honest, I got lost about 5 minutes in :(

  5. In 1999 I was given a sealed can of little chocolate IC's, called "Millennium Bugs" That's all I remember about it!

  6. He even questioned why he trusted the BBC, on camera. He said nothing about nationalism. Who are you to dictate what this channel can show...when you refuse to watch the videos anyway?

  7. You didn't watch the video, there is no leftist content in this video. Its a British channel ffs why would it even be leftist?

  8. Stating that Trump has done something ridiculous isn't a political statement. He has a habit of doing strange, ridiculous things. Pulling the arms of world leaders for example. It's not political to recognise this as ridiculous, its not a criticism of his policies or anything. People on all sides agree.

  9. Anything that isn't programming is political? Really?

  11. +Brock Wood You keep posting comments about how much you think this guy is wrong, yet you haven't actually refuted a single thing yet.

  12. Unfortunately the people who proudly shun "PC culture" are just as guilty of shutting down anybody dissimilar from themselves. I think this is a human trait that trancends political leanings.

  13. Ah yes, because Karl Marx wrote extensively on this topic and was renowned for saying these things a full century before anybody else did. Here's how to identify the real ideologues: When they throw around terms like "marxist" to describe things that have nothing to do with Karl Marx or his works. To them, it's a brilliant and stunning way to scare people away from bad ideas. To everybody living in the 21st century...It's a pathetic attempt to invoke the red scare from the 50's again. It doesn't work, by the way.

  14. This is a hell of a story, I feel bad for his dad though :p

  15. The scary thing about the power the police have to ask for a decryption key, is that it's technically a crime to not know/have forgotten.  If the police search your computer and find an encrypted file you genuinely didn't know about, and they ask for the password, you're going to jail unless you can guess the password.

  16. Biased news doesn't stop being real just because it's biased lad

  17. This one was really interesting, I had no idea ebook designers had such a tough job..

  18. benblue3 No, you can absolutely get banned or blocked for disagreeing, and I have.  Might not happen quite as often, because the anti-PC crowd prefer you to be around when they spam insults.

  19. I'm no engineer myself, but I think you could swing it. Have videos for each of the various principles, explain the nuances of generation and transmission..there's certainly no lack of theory to cover!

  20. They don't even have journalists, how can they be a news outlet?

  21. >leftist In the UK? Sure mate, the UK is renowned for being leftist, its not like the government is wholly staffed by conservatives or anything, nope. It's not like the UK has a long track record of taking conservative stances on everything, no sir.

  22. Weird how it's always the people with no education or expertise in science that accuse actual scientists of denying biology. I don't believe he doxed anybody, I think you're making that up.

  23. Nationalism has no correlation with intelligence? Sure, that's why NF/UKIP/BF/BNP are all full of intelligent, eloquent members right?

  24. YourTV Unplugged So you're saying that every single one is reality?  Without exception?

  25. Actually he said "intersection" so

  26. "Trump does something ridiculous" isn't necessarily anti-Trump, even the Vice President has acknowledged that some of his actions have been bizarre and wrong. Doesn't matter if you're for or against Trump, you must agree that he's done some strange, sometimes inexplicable things. Stating this publicly doesn't have any bearing on your agreement with his policies. Come on, the man has been infamous for decades, he's just one of those unique personalities and it attracts mockery. That's apolitical. This channel isn't paid for by the BBC, incidentally. Don't know why you'd assume otherwise.

  27. Factually incorrect*

  28. benblue3 All online communities are irrelevant, so telling you isn't going to convince you of anything.

  30. +YourTV Unplugged The state can already seize assets, why go to all this trouble to do it electronically?

  31. YourTV Unplugged So non-shills are always right.  Gotcha.

  32. He literally said he questions why he trusts the BBC, you didn't watch the video.

  33. So what happens when you come to an intersection when you drive?

  34. benblue3 Whoops, there I go writing things that don't exist inside your bubble.  Guess that makes me a liar huh? Go ahead, prove me right again.

  35. I recommend BigClive

  36. Does it bug anybody else that the windows just lead to ANOTHER INDOOR ROOM

  37. Google should still be shut down just for other reasons

  38. I really love seeing this kind of stuff in action. In regards to having to hold your tablet infront of you though, that's where VR headsets could come into play.  Combined with cameras, you could do all this with free hands!

  39. Seconding Neuromancer SO HARD. Reading it in the 21st century is kind of a trip, when you realise it was written in the 80's.

  40. Where did he say that?

  41. This is computerphile, not philosophyfile, I'm not debating epistemology with you.

  42. YourTV Unplugged Kings and Queens predate debt-based economies, I have no doubt that people would still gain control without money as we know it.

  43. Can you say vvvvvvideo games?

  44. These look great!  It's always nice to see examples of creativity, especially in places where it's normally considered to be too much hassle.

  45. Are you allergic to words with too many syllables or something?

  46. This is great! Look at all those wee micros in the back! I have to get ahold of that emulator and see what it's like

  47. benblue3 To be honest I am extremely skeptical that anybody else is concerned with what a brony considers to be intelligent

  48. Oho, I see a reference to McAfee and those Vice guys hidden in the background!  Now that's a story I always bring up whenever asked about EXIF data.

  49. 3:48 Woah! I literally just finished playing that Indiana game and here it is on computerphile!

  50. gameRevolt He's not obligated to prove anything to you, and this channel would be much worse if everybody had to explain their motivations to the audience. If it matters that much to you, just email him and ask.

  51. ***** Believing that every professional needs to drop everything to answer your enquiries is antisocial.

  52. His Divine Shadow If that's true, then tell me what you can infer by the fact that he didn't bring up a tangential point in this video.
    1
  53. His Divine Shadow Your quote: "not answering questions will speak volumes by itself." So if you emailed him and asked, and he didn't respond, what would it mean?
    1
  54. His Divine Shadow So a tenuous suggestion of dishonesty is "volumes".  If we're all to be held to the same standard, aren't we as citizens just as bad for being complicit with this?

  55. Wow, what a load of crap.  Coding isn't some arcane innate ability like magic, it's taught the way everything else is.  Guess what?  People who have never looked at a line of maths would also probably have problems with an equation.

  56. So did you guys get kicked out of that restaraunt finally?

  57. If it was true, it wouldn't be fake news.

  58. Something I've noticed in my time at school/college etc, the art department always uses Macs.  Anybody know why that is?

  59. Oh wow, this guy! I was a huge fan of the FF books, I had no idea he got into games!

  60. Does Tom not have an office or something? Or just he just have a really big office with a cafe inside it?

  61. The thumbnail for this is pure genius

  62. I might have misunderstood this but I think he's talking about theoretical "perfect" computation.

  63. I would totally subscribe to a channel where Brady sits and gets his mind repeatedly blown by videogames. It's nice to see somebody play a game with no expectations, which you don't often see with videogame channels.

  64. Is that a jar of honey on the shelf behind Phil I'm okay with this

  65. I recently covered this topic at college, blew my mind. Even a calculator is pretty complicated, so the devices we use today are just impossible to truly concieve of.

  66. This is seriously cool, also YEAH LUCIDA CONSOLE

  67. I like this guy!

  68. Brady, what I want to find out about is what's going on with your crazy colourful keyboard down there.

  69. Your brain models reality just fine, so it must necessarily be possible.

  70. This is a good point, but there's no reason why funding has to be provided through advertising only. In fact the internet would be a much better place if we could pay for it another way. Take the nottinghamscience and *phile channels for example. These videos are Bradys (and now Sean's!) job, so they aren't obligated to be obnoxious and mug for the camera in order to get more views. Websites funded through sales or donations have nicer site design too.

  71. Wasn't there a kickstarter to fund a remake of Elite? The "space trader" genre got pretty big, with the X series especially.

  72. I like this guy! For anybody who wants to hear more about the ramifications of cyberwar, I recommend listening to Mikko Hypponen, who has a bunch of speeches here on youtube!

  73. Loving this increasingly-consolidated future we're heading to that offers few benefits in exchange for a seemingly limitless number of headaches!

  74. I'd agree, and I'd like to add that more abstract things like how programming languages are designed would be very interesting to me. Well-presented so far though! Computing is full of little concepts and jargon that really need to be understood by people in general.
