Deep Thoughts Engineering Speaker Series: John Carmack
This was an internal-to-Facebook talk that I did in 2015 that was cleared for public release. The topic was "antifragile" idea generation, along with examples of the ideas I was generating at the time.

    Great talk but unfortunately the audio is pretty poor with usable audio on the right channel only and even that's around -33 LUFS instead of -14 LUFS that UA-cam would prefer.

    30:50 I think Elon Musk should simply offer to test some of the ideas Carmack has. It's obvious that Carmack is not about patenting these ideas so it should be fine if SpaceX pays for the testing and potentially starts using the results.

    Here is a magical idea: take a spade, shovel or whatever, and slim the wooden handle tilll it's rounded triange, make it comfortable to hold. So, while digging out potatoes your back will not feel any pain. It's checked and works, the magic being i didn't see anyone using something like that, very simlpe though.(isn't it a good comment in a proper place ?-joke)

    John you are cool and very bright chap... sadly, back in the day you made some psychopathic games which current generation dont admire...😂😂😂😂😂 You and your team started fps genre but you heard this dozen times over half of your life already. Shame you hide your hands....joker is coming... I think you evolved and left gaming behind but new survival Quake would be cool to play. I enjoyed your multiplayer software a Lot!

    This man is truly something else... a force of Brilliance and a true human World Wonder in science, engineering, entertainment, intelligence etc. etc. Pushing the boundary of what Human's biologically and mentally are capable of. I'm by far not working/skilled in your field of work, an advid player of your legendary games, expecially Q1 and Q3A and Doom. I Grandiosely Salute you mr. John Carmack.

    50:10 the brain is just the pass through to the mind, another layer of entropy managing (self aware, whatever that means) information system Chopping things up means less entropy in the fully immersed "universe", very hard to not feel seasick in violent movements. The latency and other factors matter so much because of what your mind expects the data streams - video/audio and nervous system and inner ear system.. all meant to be nicely in sync. Big changes means horrible entropy trying to process what the brain is structuring. When you think of the universe as just another window, it makes much more sense.. turtles all the way down so to speak.. fundamental data | information primitives ? patterns and priority/meta tags allow very rich "Akashic" data structures. Parallelized and seemingly decentralized, becoming more specialized and a lower entropy overall.. We have to render the data stream ourselves (observer effect) JIT and hence quantum mechanics.. it depends what you do, whether data is available as to what shared consistent view of reality we get. Probabilistic future reality is obviously incredibly efficient rendered this way, as we are always a heap of orders of magnitude ahead of the rendering when using our intent. Is the universe dynamic wallpaper ? yes !

    Mr. Carmack , hello, I think you know and can imagine how many people use your base and enchanced QuakeC , thanks a lot for digital prescios ! Everytime when developers starts talks about 3d FPS they remember Quake , you and John Romero . You are living Legend . Thanks for all.

    If I had to summarize: - don't be too attached to your ideas, because most ideas aren't actually that valuable - when you get an idea, try to think about it and prove why it won't work. - if you can't do that, start prototyping as soon as possible. The longer you delay it, the higher the risk of getting attached to it - once you get attached to an idea, it's difficult to maintain objectivity. - falsifying an idea (either by thinking about it or prototyping) is often the way to get better at having ideas or at understanding the problem you're working on. This process leads to better idea generation as you keep iterating. Loved the talk <3

    • @jmitesh01
      @jmitesh01 3 роки тому

      Thanks Joel. By the falsying an idea comes again and again i.e., to ask question or generate idea use intuition but not to answer them.

    • @Frodohack
      @Frodohack 3 роки тому

      I think you missed the most important: - don't stay in front of a black canvas to wait for the complete idea, but form your creativity by getting exposed to a lot of things and look at them trough the lenses of the problem you're working on.

    Kitchen Rolls/Croissant packs have that spiral tube design & twisting causes the break, always thought it would take off ..doh ..as a recycling procedure! If you could crack the ridiculous sharpness of tin/alu cans for domestic recycling! I think some of your "antifragile" less robust ideas would work on devolved "experiences" rather than full robust game engines! They would be ideal for webVR and possible create the constrained to inadvertently inspire new games/apps. eg. If you were viewing a house , you could confine the viewing angles/aggressively cull and direct the entire experience, incorporating all of your performance wins, even as stylized brand video-style-transitions (ye gross but..anyway lol) etc.. I think "Ratchet & Clank" played with interlacing concepts or maybe just ended up as styled retro video lines etc..
