I only recently discovered Dylan Beattie and now I'm binging all of his talks. I absolutely love his presentation style. A funny thing happened as I was watching this. There was a glitch on my pc at 6:50 exactly as he said dial up and so it went, "dial uuuuuuuuuuup" like the internet had crashed midway through his sentence. I thought it was a joke inserted by the editor at first until I played that section again.
The way our bodies work right now, the waste part of food isn't exactly optional. It's rather important to lower digestive health. Also our ability to absorb nutrients is facilitated by microbes, which seem to be inextricably linked to the foods we eat.
Also also, there are gustatory chemoreceptors in our digestive tracts that link to a tertiary neural complex distributed across the gut that handles the various process control systems of the chemical plant responsible for energy intake.
10:00 Old phones don't need a separate power source and work with only two wires. The ringer is powered by the high voltage that indicates a ring, and then there is enough power for the supplied speaker in the earpiece. In the US, it was the "princess" line of phones with a lighted dial that required a separate power connection. I'm sure in the UK it was something similar. That opened the door to newer phones with lights, speakerphones, auto-dialing memory, etc. powered directly by the phone jack.
@@TimSheehan Are you sure it wasn't the same: two for power, not needed by classic phones? Here, early phone jacks were 4 wires, before being replaced by the modular plug which has six!
Hi Dylan - you should catch some Deep Space Nine - there are several scenes where characters place dishes into the replicator once they're done eating and the replicator returns them to energy, but there are other inconsistencies where people have specific cooking equipment and dishes etc with sentimental value - I guess replicator dishes are just improved paper plates! Also, now I want pizza
Very thought provoking. Really good! One "good" thing about growing crops, is that it is basically harvesting "green energy". Synthesizing stuff takes a lot of energy, and we still need the basic molecules to come from somewhere, so there are somethings to work out. Now I just need to find myself a 3d-printed pizza!
32:25 w3w has another 2 problems, one I didn't predict at first-- 1/ as another layer between GPS modules plain text "54.325,-2.535" (phone box near my old home) and finding destination, it's one more place an error can occur. There are two many words in the w3w list that sound the same and/or get jumbled in memory. 2/ Inappropriate use--UK emergency services are trying to MAKE people install the w3w app over weak data connections, during an emergency call! I have heard several recordings and it seems to be in the new script. Several cases of SAR arriving at the wrong side of a mountain, river, and in one case wrong side of a county looking for an injured walker. Lives lost? I'm not sure yet. But it's only a matter of time at this rate :-(
They are proprietary, nobody else knows how to convert a location to w3w, unlike GPS location data. And they are localized, the English version uses different words than the German or Spanish version. So in your example, any foreign tourists will probably respond with their language variant, combine that with accent or other sources of misunderstanding, and you'll be certain help will not arrive on time.
In Sao Paulo, buildings are numbered by the distance from a central point, so Rua da Consolacao 3617 is adjacent to Rua da Consolacao 3625 because they are apartment blocks 8m apart.
Re: addresses I live in an area that used to be a village until WWII, later getting absorbed by a nearby town. That means no street names, why would a farming village have those? We don't have a town hall, we don't have a square. So some databases don't work because they expect a street name.
I live in a village where the houses where numbered when built. Today the streets are named, but the numbers are all still all over the place. If I'd order pizza more frequently, just so it would get inconvenient to watch out for the driver, I'd simply place a "pizza here" flag outside the door. But since the order rate is as low as change of delivery personell it's ok for now and for pizza. But any parcel or shipment delivery always gets interesting no matter how precise you describe the place in the comment section (if that field allows for enough text that is).
I was disappointed he didn't end with the American postal system. For all of our incompetence, we got that one right. Your address is the number of feet from the beginning of the street you live on (closest odd number for West/North even for East/South).
To be honest it would just be an issue of software. The hardware is there. their is a machine that makes buildings using a clay/adobe type mix. it literally just goes around a scaffold (that can be deployed on site) and makes a squarish house that requires 24 hrs. to dry and use. (think Mars habitats made easy) So setting up a system to make clothing really is just a software/network issue.
@@davidmiller9485that's not entirely true. You have to manage tension on the fabric, you have to manage feeding the fabric, manipulating it and so on. That being said, we do have machines that make clothes. But they're frequently not actually CNC, they're just complex timing on analog circuits.
@@Ornithopter470 That can be done in software. The problem, granted is that writing that software isn't going to be easy. Their are multiple types of mechanical weaving machines in use now. However they make clothe. To make a product from that cloth would require multiple machines that do 'a' step in the process with software that not only ensures quality but also sets up the next step. Either way this is a computer/mechanical engineering problem. The issues is, is it cheaper than human labor and the answer is no. Possible yes but until we have cheaper machines and software, not probable.
When he was talking about running internet on 4g, I live in a rural area, and until last year we didn't have internet here other than sim, or satellite. So i use my cell phone with PDAnet+ so that it looked like normal phone data to my carrier sine I only get 30GB tethering, but get unlimited phone data.
@@TobiKellner it is the default, but it's not given. And there's more than one GNSS, and most people just generally refer to anything satellite and position related as GPS.
You know how you can use headphones as a microphone? I wonder if you can use implanted hearing aids to talk out of using your mind and directly interface into a computer.
Porcupine Tree made a few insane masterpieces and a lot of boring stuff inbetween imho. Either way it's the kind of music that takes a couple rounds until it sounds interesting.
Most of the grain in the world does not come from Canada. They come from Russia, EU, USA, Australia and Ukraine. Canada is 7th largest.... What this bloke doesn't say is that Africa, Middle-east and Asia are also part of the world, and in fact, the most numerous part of the world... and they are fed by Russia, EU and Ukraine.

just had to read "Dylan Beattie" and i was in. Just love that guy
Honestly same. I’ve been waiting for his next talk now that I’ve seen all of his others!
Same. I haven't even watched the talk and I'm loving it 😂
Same, love him!
Same - the topics are a bit beyond me but Dylan Beattie is always worth listening to.
@@intangiblematter_misc Ive rewatched multiple times
Ever since his "Art of Code" talk, Dylan has been known as a Rock Star presenter. Great talk, as always!
A simple Rock Star with lightning inside him.
Every year I search for "Dylan Beattie" on YT and I watch what's new. A lot of trivia in his talks but really enjoyable
Finally another Dylan Beattie talk. Made my day.

Concerning GPS: If you'd give me a GPS coordinate I'd have to ask what geodetic, what datum, and what projection?
Yup. That's a whole another can of wriggly stuff.
How about the UTM grid?
With a lat/lon coordinate in general, that is certainly true.
But AFAIK, with a coordinate from the GPS system you can assume that it's WGS84...
