R.I.P James Simons 🎉🎉🎉 Gone but Never Forgotten. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏿

"My algorithm has always been: You put smart people together, you give them a lot of freedom, create an atmosphere where everyone talks to everyone else. They're not hiding in the corner with their own little thing. They talk to everybody else. And you provide the best infrastructure. The best computers and so on that people can work with and make everyone partners." How was this missing in the short version?!

I agree that the interviewer was excellent and allowed Mr. Simmons to answer the questions unlike so many interviewers who interrupt. The questions were great and he was obviously well prepared.

I appreciate the fact that he appreciates the role "luck" had to play in his success. It's always a refreshing sign of humbleness.

The full length interview was worth every second. Great questions, excellent conversation. Mr. Simons is a very well-spoken and intelligent man and I consider him a role model despite only discovering this interview an hour ago.

He mentions MIT not wanting to get rid of him as much as wanting him to experience other places. Richard Feynman described a similar situation where he was told MIT wouldn't allow him to return for his masters (iirc) due to wanting him to experience the world of higher education. Very interesting. I wonder if this sort of policy still holds.

MIT actually has a university wide policy that doesn’t allow undergrads to stay for graduate studies there. It wasn’t unique to his experience. It’s actually more the opposite, that an undergrad is allowed to stay when their current work is going so well that the faculty don’t want to interrupt it for any reason.

The question about whether or not he's holding back some groundbreaking mathematics work was a great question!

Rest In Peace legend!!

It’s really nice to hear such honesty and humility in contrast to so much bluster you get in finance. I have more respect for Simons than Dimon.

Great interview.

Fantastic interviewing skills, questions were great great and you let Jim answer before asking the next one, kudos to you!

'Simons shuns the limelight and rarely gives interviews' congratulations on the interview, compelling stuff!

Great interview! The interviewer nodded as if he had understood those profound mathematics concepts! 🤣🤣

Fantastic interview, looking for more to come.

What a lovely interview Brady! Great questions those were.

Really enjoyed this interview. Thank you!

thank you Simon and you Brady, this was wonderful!

I have got to say, the style of your videos is overall on point. The atmosphere is just right every time. I also have to love the begrudged "ehh well this was kinda fun". He enjoyed the heck out of that, just is so stoic about everything :)

Great interview! Thoroughly enjoyed this

A superb interview. Brady allows the subject to answer the questions in as much detail as is needed, without interrupting. Nicely done.

First timer at Numberphile... Really impressed with the quality of questions you've had for the guy. Thank you!

Great interview - thanks, Brady, for putting up the whole thing. I love that his philanthropy is for basic science. That's awesome.

Bro, amazing interview. Thank you.

Really insightful. You have improved my life with this. Thank you.

Love how this interview was done and the humility of the one being interviewed.

Thanks Brady. In all of your interviews on Numberphile, Sixty Symbols, et al, 99% of questions are just exactly what I (we) would like to have asked.

A really good interview. What an interesting person he is, and he seems to be a good person, as well. The world needs more people like that. Thanks for the film.

This interview is absolutely fantastic. Thank you Brady

This is priceless. Thank you

One hour of this wasn't even enough for me. Excellent content, Brady. Thank you.

There are a lot of interviews and videos on this man, and this, in my opinion, is the best take.

That was a fantastic interview! Thank you Brady! Well done! :)

Great interview, Bradey! Good questions, both on the mathematical as well as the personal side. Incredibly informative and a peak into the mind of one of the greatest entrepreneurs and mathematicians of our time. And Mr. Simons seamed to enjoy it as well ;)

Thanks a lot for your work, Brady ;)

Great job Brady. I'm studying econometrics (a combination between mathematics and economics) which is very closely related to this subject. It's very interesting to hear he contributed to the things I now study.

Great interview. It has helped me more than you'd Braddy. Thank you very much!

came back to this interview i watched two years ago but i still vividly remembered what he had said at 39:18. it was so real and humble.

Excellent reporter love the fact he didn't gravitate the interview toward his person. I lift you my hat !!

This interview is really a gem , i really like it !

fantastic interview

This guy seems like a really awesome person. I watched all of the interview, which is surprising since I normally get bored of watching interviews and such from "Business-like" people in the first 10 seconds. I think it's because he's talking understandable English and knows what he's on about. (Unlike other business people who talk a bunch of stuff which is either obvious/something they don't really understand and then just repeat what they say in different ways over the course of the interview.)

Well done, Brady. Great interview, and fascinating subject. Really wish Feynman were still around to get the Brady touch...

Enjoyed your style of interview....very well thought out questions a great interview of a giant of a man!

Great interviewer, great interviewee. In short, great video!

Good timing Brady.Right on the hour.

Fantastic interview!

That was absolutely fantastic!

This is incredible. I hope he appreciated how much you've done for math, Brady. A lot of us have been inspired by your videos, this one included!

Great interview !

Sympathetic and humble - the traits of true greatness - fantastic interview

Brilliant Interview

This interview explains how great this man his: intelligent, with right humour and humble because he knows his value. Every second is useful to understand with details and honesty, what he did. I'm sure he will be remembered as one of the greatest mind of our time.

in this interview James Simons was very frank, and most of the information about his success is clearly told here.

47:17 I like the way his wording here makes it seem like this interview is the pinnacle point in the entire history of life on Earth.

After watching this I was thinking, that it would be quite a nice documentary/ biography. But then I realized that with this length and quality, it kinda is Great job!

Great interview. Hearing his life story was also kind of fun.

What a nice interview.

This is one of the best business interviews I have ever watched! Simons is extremely knowledgeable, so wealthy and still extremely humble about his success: - He has made billions, yet understands oh so well the importance of dealing with luck rather than focus on ego and politics - He is so respectful of the work and effort pit in by his fellow employees, even though he is the man at the basis of it all - His approach of management by giving freedom to his peebs, have the best infrastructure and be as transparent as possible WOW If only managers or startup founders were at least 1% as well taught and respectful as Simons. Wonderful interview Brady. Thanks so much! ♥️

Argl - when I saw the link to the full interview at the end of the short one I was kinda annoyed and thinking "you guys should have put the link at the beginning of the short version" ... then I checked and it turned out you did. I just ignored it, probably also being annoyed "what's with all these damned annotations?!" :) Turns out I may be an asshole. Anyway, thanks for these videos, very interesting.

There can be an element of luck, or chance, in anything, but with the correct mindset you can make your own luck.
