Best drinking game ever: 1.Get a bottle of tequila. 2.Do a shot each time Paul says 'Uhmmmmm' 3.Enjoy the massive hangover.

unfortuantely. I got GPT to summarize it for me.

Tim Cook has exceeded all expectations. Paul Graham is always awesome. A decade later I'm watching it, still relevant. Wow

Paul Grahumm

I've read most of his essays and leared a lot. He also mailed me once while i was in elementary school. This guy is too awesome.

This man just predicted Superhuman, Netflix, and people only care about UHMS.

I love hearing people in the last discuss problems that are solved today! Like the argument about paying for copies of digital content. The answer that every company (books, music, software) has found is just implementing a subscription model and requiring a sign in to access software, or some type of internet connection at least. That way, people rather just pay the subscription and get regular updates to their apps, music, new books, and UI QOL updates as opposed to pirating older versions of the software or music. I feel like listening to the types of problems that people have discussed in the past and how those problems were solved could key us into what sorts of reasoning we need to solve the problems of today.

That was the amazing Paul Gra'humm' at work!!

The fact that he's such a frighteningly clear, incisive writer makes the fact that he's a breathless, nervous speaker all the more endearing.

I love watching his talks, even older ones like this still carry great advice that is timeless

a brilliant talk for those who are interested in this sort of thing. nature abhors a vacuum, this is what causes the ummms, the brain wants to fill that space, nearly everyone does this. it takes a lot of conscious effort to overcome this. content is king

That was great keynote, uhmmm

Lucky you guys. Got to listen to him in person. The couple is endearing. 💗

I think what makes Paul an effective speaker is that he modify and adapt his speech as he go to fit the current situation. That would be active thinking and even pausing to process and adjust. If that means using umm and long breaks, so be it. The emotion and the thinking are what made the speech highly effective.

Also chatgpt optimizing single-core code to multi-core code, not there yet with copilot but with perfect prompt it can do that 95% correctly.

great talk. his "record labels are like people from the moon" analogy is hilarious, the "what is property is what is practical" thing is spot on.

I wanna hear everything that goes in Paul's mind.

Paul Graham made lots of great points. Thanks for posting the video.

Love Paul Graham!!

Not only his essays are very good,but hes speak is very good too.

Superhuman got the email part right for sure !

Everytime PG says 'huhmm', have a tequila shot

I love this guy.

Holy shit. He is an oracle.

this aged so well!

Oh boy has this aged well...

Always a pleasure

He's a really good speaker despite the um's. Perhaps youtube should have a editor that automatically filters out all um's. Anyway, he has earned the status to be able to say um as many times as he wants. It's interesting how 'um' is when you gather thoughts and 'om' is when you ignore them. And if you're a german physicist you might hear 'ohm'. And if you watch too much TV you hear 'uh-oh Spaghetti-Os'

""I'm not a very good speaker. I say "um" a lot." That's non-zero wait states for you. ;-)

His "uhm-thing" and your "uhm-thing" are both things, and I think there's plenty of room in the world for people with things...while we enjoy his FREE content at our convenience.

The crazy thing is that non of the big ideas came more than 50% true. 1. We still have google 2. We still use gmail for work 3. We still go to universities. Worse than failing to replace undergrad education, we did not even replace master's degree which should be much easier 4. Hollywood still exists, though many of the job has been replaced by Netflix or KZread 5. Phones are still our main computing platform, and Apple is still the best provider (though by a march smaller margin) 6. The cpu were still slow, but GPU are getting faster. 7. I don't know enough about compiler optimization to comment on that The real changes that took place were: 1. mobile apps 2. Recommendation systems (tiktok) 3. AI So, maybe if you want to beat google, take advantage of the next trend instead of old technologies.

this talk feels a lot like Elon Musk talking about where to work to take the world further but just so much more in depth

The way to reform higher education is the remove federal monopoly on accreditation. The way to reform public education is with parent choice vouchers.

어흠~~

randomly forwarding the video with seeker and every time it starts with ummmm

Huuuuummmm, Aaaaaahhhh, Huuuuuummmmmmm

Funny how now, what is driving the new startups are AI, blockchain, and AR/VR and maybe iot

22:20 Not totally, but Spark now does abstract many of the complexities of parallel and distributed programming.

The hacker news article said 224 times.

I'd give that person a medal who can edit all the hummms and upload the video again 😁

Grahummm...

HUMMMMMM!

@39:11 Funny story: after hearing that answer, the girl who asked the question went on to found Grindr.

Fantastic essayist and writer, less than fantastic speaker. Still brilliant.

Here's a great start up idea: an applications that will seek out and destroy random "hums" and other assorted verbal ticks in a given video.

Google has been getting into the social network. Look how Google+ turned out.

it's harder to listen to now that the top comment has pointed it out.. it's actually really hard to listen to now.

Wow. How did you predict all these PG?

Wild ideas -> How about replacing computers and the internet with a MMO like operating system with many users? For something less ambitious, how about an alternate internet where you can see people at websites in real time, like you see their cursor and where they are looking and you can talk to them -> Structured editing and view layers for all languages(Lisp) that let you use whatever syntax you want for whatever language, but make it easy to make homoiconic macros. It should also be bundled with IDEs so that people can actually use it... -> Editing code with a postfix(Forth) mode or an extended command mode that lets you write "write-only" code that is easy to see the in-between values, however, with a key press your write-only code will be mapped into readable code. Basically there should be many ways of writing code, but only a few ways of structuring readable code. -> Lip-reading + stenotype(chord) keyboard - It will use your lips supplemented with one hand on the keyboard for disambiguation, while the other hand can be on the mouse. -> How about having two mice, but the mice have chorded keyboards not buttons on them that can let you type anything? You then control your computer using gestures, typing, and chords. -> Face tracking software - it can be mapped digital characters, but also can let you click by looking at stuff (sort of like eye-trackers), and using your chorded keyboard + winks, head tilts, and moving face muscles -> How about special CPUs with hash-table lookups being a single instruction to make Smalltalk, Python, JavaScript faster and compilers are also faster with this -> Lens 3D printers that can print themselves, if you make them out of sahara-dessert sand that is melted to form silica, if you can get the temperature hot enough and enough alignment you could make a silica magnifying glass which can be used to melt more sand-glass and concentrate energy; if 3D printers could be made out of ice / Mars permafrost you could build mirrors that melt more ice to build more ice printers until they grow exponentially to terraform Mars... -> A video sharing website that lets you see 8k video content, but tracks the fovea so that you don't waste bandwidth -> Now that we have 4k monitors, how about changing IDEs so that you have small ruby characters over identifiers which can be test-values (so you can see the flow of values if you hold CTRL), types (if you hold SHIFT), history of variables (if you hold ALT), source code if you hold ALT+SHIFT (but maybe for more space it would draw an arrow pointing to the source code in the unused white space in your program source) -> Someone was teaching 5 year olds to program Haskell by turning functions into puzzle-pieces where the grooves in the pieces represented the types. Since pictures are worth a 1000 words, why not create a picture language using hopf genes from living things whos DNA represents many different things about functions like its dependent type & history (figured out by a static and JIT compiler), and place the identifier name only as small ruby text above its "creature-body" that way we can cram more information into a single space.

Can someone explain the Augustus reference?

Just how many times is Graham humming???!

45:40 can we make the argument that Pebble? the $10m kickstarter project is that next startup? or has potential to be?

the humming is FOR THE LULZ!!!!!!

Oh my god. Didn't notice the uhmmms until I read the comments

Still relevant....

Everybody who speaks publicly has little idiosyncrasies. I would challenge anybody to point to their fave speaker and tell me they could provide an exception, because there isn't one. PG even has his own little catchphrases, like "I worry, I worry." It's really not a big deal.

which is the movie he recommend in minute 02:43?

The uhhmm completely distract me from listening to what he saying. I but still like his sarcasms.

I say "um" a lot

The "huuums" are annoying, but the idea content is worth the pain of listening.

um

This is why I like his readings more; no ums.

After each sentence : uhhhhmmm Wtf

um,um....

girl at 38 completely missed the point

@doctorale84 It's more of a moan, isn't it?

I cool with p graham. But, that joke or somehow the hallucination of ipad replacing Windows? no, iPad and tablets have outlived their relevance on the product market.

need an AI to remove his Hummm here please, i just can't watch this.

huummm

Great talk, but, uhmmmm...

Holy shit, postmodernism as valid area of research? Sit down... this is a hacker convention.
