This was an amazing presentation/talk/lecture. I have to admit I'm not smart enough to have understood all K Lars was talking about, but I was very fascinated with the complexity and depth of his knowledge. Seeing him via video is a great reminder not to "judge a book by its cover." Thank you for your choice of this speaker and his message.
I don't often post on UA-cam. Most of the time I see no reason. I wish I had been there in person to experience such an awesome Keynote Speech. Things like this remind me why I love programming so much. We want to code not just to earn a paycheck, but to answer questions about ourselves and about life. We do not just use our logic and reasoning (left half), but our intuition and creativity (right half) to do so. It doesn't matter what language, all languages have the power to convey a message, and that message is the point. How it is encoded is trivial, but how it impacts our lives is meaningful.
I was there, and yet, I still come back to rewatch this video from time to time. One of the best speeches/explorations I have had the pleasure to experience.
This is one of the most amazing performances/talks I have ever hear - literally .... listen all the way thru... Thank you for sharing your story Lars - truly.

The speaker already said it is dense. If it is to him, I'm sure it is to us :D I'm actually on break, and after having listened to this talk I'm going to give it a shot.
What an awesome man. It's rare to instantly and completely like a person like I did with him. Listening to his talk, I realized I will need to try to read the book, but what cemented it was the reference to Koyaanisqatsi. It is some of the most hauntingly beautiful music I've ever heard, and my life has shifted for the better after having been introduced to it.
The first piece is from Vivaldi's "L'estro armonico", Op.3 No.8 (RV522). And - since we're talking "Goedel, Escher, Bach" here - it might be worth noting that there is an arrangement by Bach for organ (BWV 593).

Even after all this time, this talk still hits me. I feel incredibly special that I was able to see this in person.

Couldn't have put more elegantly

I was privileged to be there in person. It was amazing.
Probably the best talk I've ever seen. It was awesome being there!

Second time I've watched this. Hands down the best tech talk, or any talk, I've ever seen
Blown away. Beautiful and tragic at the same time.
Amazing Keynote. Awesome way to end the conference. This is the gold standard for presentations.
Conference logo there says it ends on June 5th and this was posted on the 1st...

Such an amazing person and such a great talk. I'm honored to have met him in person (elsewhere)
If a talk can be a masterpiece, well, this is it. Awesome.
Great. I'm now reading Gödel, Escher, Bach.
How are you finding it? Would you give it a good review? I'm not a CS person, is it dense?
The speaker already said it is dense. If it is to him, I'm sure it is to us :D I'm actually on break, and after having listened to this talk I'm going to give it a shot.
This was an amazing talk. I am very moved. Thank you so much for sharing your histories K Lars Lohn. Keep Riding ! :D
Amazing talk
The best presentation ever for coders and non-coders about recursive algorithms! :) Beaten every textbook out there on recursion!
Bummer they didn't capture the live transcription - the tongue twister bit was amazing!
If you're like me, and trying to vaguely recall "How to explain quicksort in 60 seconds" for a programming interview, the explanation is at 33:15.
Some serious storytelling skills! Super awesome!!

Thank you, Lars.
Wow.
Well, that was amazing.
He was amazing! :)
Great talk!!!
THIS IS GOLD
wow. just wow.
Awesome
this must be Computer science at its purest form! K Lars should write a book on it 8-)
Lovely
2:37 - 7:29 where can I get that music?
Vivaldi - L'Estro Armonico, Op. 3, Concerto No. 8 in A minor, RV 522
found it in comments
On bad days I bang rocks together. On good days, I'm a COMPUTER CHOREOGRAPHER making the MACHINES DANCE.
Slides can *not* be found at speakerdeck, as far as I can see, and that github repo is empty now.
So good. :D Tell yo friends
My jaw dropped. Does anybody know what pieces he played?

@@btschaegg thanks a lot!
This was awesome. Does anyone know what software is used to play/show the music here?

Incredible talk, hopefully the student and him got in touch and he’s a Silicon Valley software engineer now
next thing google "what is fractal dimention"
