Need help finding a ted talk on software complexity...compares tools like unity 3d to the nano particles in the Lycurgus Cup

submitted by formcontentgoeshere to whatever 1.8 yearsAug 28, 2022 15:12:22 ago (+2/-0)     (whatever)

A rather old ted talk now, it goes into software being released like Unity3d which many games are made has settings which are set by the developer's of said games which they do not know the reason's for.

This is compared to the Lycurgus Cup (that changes color depending upon the hot/cold of the contents poured in)...which used purposely made "nano" particles that behave in a character that wouldn't be discovered for another 1 to 2 millennia afterwards.

The ted talk's premise is that rome fell due to over complexity. That at the time just before the collapse the greatest feats of technology where being made like the Lycurgus Cup, then nothing for 2 millennia. He expresses that software will collapse because of the similar tool chain ecosystem of software has the same problems that Rome had.

That software will collapse and the ecosystem to support the software afterwards will not be available due to a cascade of tool collapses.

Yeah but he is missing the obvious problem which is a deterioration in the quality of programmers which is genetic.

Wahmens, and shitskins and chinks are doing more programming by using these high level tools and they have no idea what happens at the hardware level. And they might do one type of development which is highly platform specific.

White guys invented programming while they were literally building processors and that is a sort of thinking that everyone does not have. Im not sure all whites even have this ability. I think its mostly germanics. And they are becoming watered down with more mediocre whites. Yeah I said it.

The greeks and romans lost their genetic signal for success perhaps by mixing too much with immigrants from the middle east or by mixing with lower classes of locals that had lower levels of aryan admix.

Whatever this behavioral mode is which is associated with high technological or engineering ability, it has a genetic signal which is getting watered down. Some of this is because weve been overrun by foreigners and some of it is because the the best whites with the highest ingenuity are not being properly valued in an increasingly jewed environment and also the may be becoming watered down with less successful engineers like slavs or irishmen.

Obviously the whole software industry is so totally jewed and excessive financial competitiveness has driven managers to make choices that are illogical if you are trying to design a better universal information system.

To me this guy is missing the elephant in the room when he tries to assert that we are just not teaching sheboons about pointers. Lol.

TLDR

1. Germanic white males may be losing their genetic edge through dysgenics
2. Shitskins and women are bad programmers next to white males
3. The jewed state of late stage capitalism drives business choices which make systems worse

I mean, the internet is def getting worse! The average webpage is so full of whistles and bells, its hard to read, hard to load, and it fucking crashes.

Indeed.

I found this one, by contrast, to be surprisingly down-to-earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRoatZizQ0

The one with Zefrank was low key and heart-warming, even if it basically boiled down to "people are amazing"- a premise I disagree with; humanity as a whole is disgusting. Still a decent watch.
