Xah Lee ​on in 5 min R34P3R GR1M ​Sup Alan W ​🎄 👋 BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Alive. Alan W ​Spawned! George ​Merry Xmas BartholomewJS ​Merry Christmas. The Magpie ​clocking in, what's good Alan W ​@The Magpie the food ur cooking looks good Xah Lee ​https://discord.gg/QYFcqNT join xahlee discord The Magpie ​it tastes better than it looks, one of my favourite things to do around this time is torment people with my food pictures MATI NAVAS ​i wont let me spoil this time xD MATI NAVAS ​gonna do the challenge in Clojure i think Alan W ​prog challenge is great for motivation learning new languages 😃 Alan W ​You must give example input/output for programing challenge! 🤖 Alan W ​em time and english word examples both got pretty well sketched out Alan W ​in problem statement 😃 MATI NAVAS ​u can judge my solution then @Xah Lee Welcome to live chat! Remember to guard your privacy and abide by our community guidelines. Alan W ​Stream, if you watch off hours Alan W ​you can leave in YT comments too Alan W ​best time stamps 😃 Justin Scarfy ​Hi Alan W ​everyone take a (metaphorical) shot Alan W ​xah had to turn off JS on live stream lol 😀 Alan W ​🍻 Xah Lee ​xah talk show 2019-12-24http://xahlee.info/talk_show/xah_talk... George ​Hermits Alan W ​hermit Alan W ​🐸 MATI NAVAS ​definitely hermits 选报Elegram ​Hi Xah, do you follow Taiwan election? Love to hear from another nerd on that. George ​韓國魚加油 George ​I want to know more about li ao Dion Bridger ​Hi guys Dion Bridger ​Politically angry Xah is the best Xah! Dion Bridger ​Xah I have a question for you - is being a lawyer a high status / sought after job by Chinese people living in China? 选报Elegram ​Last time I ask about Adrew Yang, Xah talked 30 min about his love for Tulsi. Dion Bridger ​Tulsi says some of the right things but I don't think she is president material Dion Bridger ​an ideal president is someone who does mostly nothing, except for sometimes getting rid of people who do naughty things BartholomewJS ​"Mingwhile" R34P3R GR1M ​lol Dion Bridger ​Hey Bart Dion Bridger ​long time no see George ​Nobel peace prize = trash prize R34P3R GR1M ​deek Alan W ​@Xah Lee do you think hermit-lifestyle is often associated with pacifism/getting away from (state, gang, etc) violence? 选报Elegram ​Xah, try do the tech/nerd talk show in Chinese, on Bilibili or Douyu, no politics. I think there’s a chance to make some money there also. R34P3R GR1M ​"Long Peace" is a term for the unprecedented historical period following the end of World War II in 1945 to the present day. The period of the Cold War (1945–1991) was marked by the absence of major R34P3R GR1M ​wars between the great powers of the period, the United States and the USSR. Such a period of "relative peace" between major powers has not been documented in human history since the Roman Empire. Dion Bridger ​Once read almost all "modern" mathematics is based on something that came out of Grothendieck's brain Dion Bridger ​big if true Alan W ​very big braned Dion Bridger ​I see what you did there Alan W ​😉 Alan W ​xah sayin that to use sites like bili bili Alan W ​u need to have some card/credential stuff Alan W ​that makes it inconvenient/impossible for US R34P3R GR1M ​Actually -- would also be really interesting to have an English video that reviews that Chinese Internet sites. Lots of interesting features that are hard for English designers to appreciate Dion Bridger ​you can tell chinese sites are designed to be used with people who have a brain Dion Bridger ​opposite to the "don't make me think" philosophy of western design Alan W ​a brain, and glasses Alan W ​and a zoom in button lol Dion Bridger ​😀 Alan W ​@Xah Lee I think French, German, etc. are very good to get into especially if you are into reading stuff from 100+ years ago and things Alan W ​to read mainstream globalist media in these languages now might not be so interesting Alan W ​but to experience some great authors, historical docs in those languages sounds very interesting for understanding different world views Dion Bridger ​John McCarthy is probably worth a mention. Not a renegade hermit though Dion Bridger ​would love to live like that Dion Bridger ​writing code in my in a forest shack Alan W ​#quarantine-zone Alan W ​😀 Dion Bridger ​why is it so good? Dion Bridger ​I think I remember you talking about wanting to write a graphing calculator! Dion Bridger ​what programming language? different from Mathematica? R34P3R GR1M ​LOL @ Graphic Calc story: "We wanted to release a Windows version as part of Windows 98, but sadly, Microsoft has effective building security." Alan W ​gtg; good stream! Dion Bridger ​bye Alan George ​Bye Dion Bridger ​"effective building security" funnny Alan W ​✨ 👋 George ​Merry Xmas Alan R34P3R GR1M ​So modern Mathematica really doesn't do all of this that is needed? George ​Mathematica is sloooow George ​I doubt Mathematica would be fast enough for games Dion Bridger ​well you wouldn't use it for games R34P3R GR1M ​* Long Peace copy/paste from wikip, not my words George ​Yeah but games is the main use for programming graphics R34P3R GR1M ​Oh I didn't realize Xah was talking about what was needed for games Dion Bridger ​that's why opengl is so low level I think; if that's what you mean then yes I agree George ​Xah wasn't talking about games, he was talking about programming a cube. Yeah it would be simpler to program that cube in Mathematica, but a cube is no good to anyone George ​In the real world you usually want to make a game George ​And for a game Mathematica isn't performant enough Dion Bridger ​gonna need to remember that one R34P3R GR1M ​Right R34P3R GR1M ​They have shader languages etc Evan Jones ​Xah, do you still use Clojure? Evan Jones ​do you still feel that Java is the devil? R34P3R GR1M ​A lot of the games are using different math / physics to make the games work. Lots of hacks. Not necessarily 1:1 "real physics" or even normal "software physics" Dion Bridger ​that's why you had magic vibrating cinderblocks in half life 2 R34P3R GR1M ​hah rights R34P3R GR1M ​or clipping problems R34P3R GR1M ​which games still have Dion Bridger ​DOOM didn't have clipping problems R34P3R GR1M ​clipping problems are why self-driving cars scare me.... Would like to have a decade of games with no clipping problems first 😃 Dion Bridger ​goes to show only Carmack should be allowed to write games R34P3R GR1M ​DOOM had clipping problems depending on the specific WAD build Dion Bridger ​AI in general is terrifying R34P3R GR1M ​(I build levels) Dion Bridger ​bye Xah Dion Bridger ​Merry Christmas Dion Bridger ​only John Romero should build levels :P Xah Lee Say something... 0/200
