So I ended up actually writing a book, which I recommend to you, called "DEC is Dead, Long Live DEC ." Because during its heyday, during its successes, DEC believed itself to be the most creative, the most fun, the most exciting company in the world.And if you talk to ex-DEC people, they will say, those were the best years of my life.
really dealing with a like human behavioral issue here you know it's not it's not we're not psychologically predisposed to be making smart consumer DEC decisions which is why I said it's great that we're all working with each other to keep our to keep ourselves onour toes and to be making the right choices as much as we possibly can because we have what psychologists call
But even Thomson thought this was a kind of device, a helpful device, and not a substitute for like the real physics. - Decades later, Thomson was elevated to the House of Lords for his contributions to science where he received a new title, Lord Kelvin. With Kelvin's latest edition, there were now three fundamental equations relating the potentials to their respective fields.
You got this rich, these rich buildings, rich gold everywhere. Decorated books, jewels, all guarded by old men who don't know how to fight. You just take it. - I mean, we should make clear that the monasteries had... They were used as almost like storage for gold.

When the SEI originally forms during the first charging cycle, around 5% of the lithium in the cell actually gets stuck in this layer, decreasing the battery's capacity. But this little trade off is what makes the battery stable enough to be used for years or even decades, which is why today lithium-ion batteries
I'm going to leave. Decided I would go and get an MBA, and then met somebody who told me about this company called McKinsey, where you basically get an MBA but get paid. And I was like, well, that sounds like a better idea because I have so much debt at this point in time.
aren't so beneficial. And one of them, for example, is stealing, but stealing things that are important to the other person. So microbes really here are decided upon like sort of a Robin Hood scheme. Because if you take something from a host, from a human body that the body doesn't necessarily need, that's okay. you know that's not a microbe, a bad microbe. Some bacteria will take some of our food and they produce something out of it and then we don't
um debating an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play as well as you want but the pigeon will jump on the board. It'll crap on the pieces and it'll go back to its flock declaring victory. And it's a brilliant quotation and it's a brilliant visual because it is so true as to what it feels like when you are debating somebody who is stupid in the sense of Bonhoeffer. When you're debating somebody who is stupid in the sense of Bonhoeffer, they don't question their own beliefs and they are unwilling to accept any contrary position to what they actually believe.
to an idea that I can't really get out of my head actually and I love it. It's known as the Aztec decision circle. And Purcell taught me that when an Aztec was confronted with a difficult decision or they didn't know what to believe or what to do, they would consult their decision circle. It might be four, five, six very close friends, relatives who will offer them advice, but crucially they will offer them dissent. They will offer them an alternative position. And Purcell

The Cross Bronx Expressway, a reflection of the fact that the property loss, the communities lost, the people who were displaced, that sort of sense of urban decay that was prevalent in the South Bronx was a reflection of the fact that this one man was able to make this choice. Sort of like Catherine getting to choose where we would go for dinner every time, so the, you know, my two daughters and I are eating, you know, fancy expensive
And most importantly, because of the shortage of space and the enormous resources that go into putting together a paper journal and distributing it, there was a process for deciding which papers should be published and which papers were not published. And back then, and different fields differed, but in economics, the way it worked was there were a few elite journals that everybody agreed about,
There was already the question: way more papers were written, but only those papers between 100 and 200 were published, and there was a system in place to decide which 100 to 200 papers would be published and which ones wouldn't. Absolutely. That's the peer review system.
Like, they know this. So the best way to avoid that fate is to actually do the things that will make people happy so that they don't support a rebel if a rebel decides to appear. And sometimes rebels would appear. There's a kind of convention in Constantinople, like if you... Sometimes you you think, "Hmm, that emperor's pretty unpopular and I think I can overthrow him." What you would
into compressed data. It then needs to start doing simple parsing of the video frames- ... mainly to figure out whether that codec is GPU decodable or needs to fall back to software. We're very sort of used to assuming the GPU will play all of these things. There'll be hardware acceleration. I think it's up to forty- five percent of files are not GPU decodable. So these need to be probed. They need to be detected. There can
more difficult to decode. Are you going to comp- to make it a codec that is more complex to encode and easier to decode? Are you going to make a codec that is easier to encode because you need to be fast, but then the, the client side, the, the player is going to spend more time? That's why you have so many different type of codecs, is that it's not always easy. And to make it even more complex, modern codecs
to be one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. But there's, like, millions of kids just like James Joyce, writers, they're declaring exactly that, that turn out not to be. But that is in some cases, in many cases, maybe most cases, you have to have that ego- ... to say, "I'm gonna..." Yeah, right. "I read 1984," "and I'm going to write the next 1984." - Yeah. And I do think ego is a big part of it.
