Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland
YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Sure, if someone or something threw it up.
Gravity is what slows its upward movement down.
You can also see things falling horizontally. That's what satellites do. They fall towards the earth, which creates their elliptical orbit.

Things are different at a microscopic level, though. In quantum mechanics, between particle interactions, their is often no way to tell the direction of time.
In fact, antimatter is just matter going back in time. Or something along those lines...

There is an atmosphere on the moon, albeit a very thin one. There are even particles floating around in interstellar space. At a macroscopic level, there is pretty much no escape from friction.

At least, that is how I understand it.

If you can tell the difference by only looking at the ball, then it must be because of the effect of friction, which is what causes entropy to increase.

The entire path of the ball is controlled by gravity (ignoring friction). That's including the first part, where the ball is moving up, not just the second part where it is moving down.

Can you tell the video is played backwards, or does it look like a clip where the right kid threw the ball to the left?

Take a video of two kids slowly throwing a ball at each other. The ball follows a parabolic path. Cut out a section where the ball is moving from the left kid to the right and play it backwards.

Minder maaien = meer natuur 🐝

Laat je gazon deze lente en zomer wat wilder worden, en geef bijen, vlinders en wilde bloemen de ruimte. Een bloemrijk grasveld ziet er niet alleen prachtig uit - het helpt ook onze bestuivers enorm. πŸ’›

It sounds so nice: you create a class, implement an interface, or annotate it with an attribute, and magically, everything connects. There was a time in the .NET space when this was a very popular practice. However, experience has shown that it often obscures the codebase. (cont'd)

AFAIK, it runs on Windows 10 v21H2.

Agree. Seek to understand an extra layer down.

Also, when things are misinterpreted by others, be curious how they read things the other way and, instead of automatically assuming it's all on them, also learn to anticipate how someone new may absorb something, so include some helpful tips for them
