    Tom Scott really surprised me in this video, in two great ways: 1. He was a straight shooter with them, whether he meant to be or not. 2. He was confident and set hard boundaries, and was funny while doing it. He's always come across as the living embodiment of nervousness, so I didn't expect either of these.

    Honestly kind of odd to see Tom Scott in an environment where he's not in control of the situation and/or production; it's like running into your high school principal in a nightclub.
    He's one of those weird UA-cam cryptids who has done such a good job of isolating their professional life from their personal one that you kind of assume they functionally stop existing when a video ends. The man literally wears the same thing every single day, like a cartoon character... What am I supposed to think??????

He's generally uncomfortable being a public person (said so on his tweet about becoming a meme) and it surprises people when he discusses anything that hints to him being a real person- like that he's had ex girlfriends, food poisoning, jet lag- that he couldn't ride a bike. Those are normal things for a human.

    Regarding film photography: There's a saying: A medium format roll with 12 pictures yields 6 good ones. A 36-shot film roll also yields 6 good photos. And shooting 2000+ images onto an SD card also yields 6 images that end up being used. Really makes you think.

      Makes sense. The limited supply of film in your camera forces you to be much more intentional in choosing and framing a subject which gives a better end result. I think the best professional photographers are able to capture this mentality without having to actually physically limit the number of photos they can take.

    For those interested, the shape of a looping is a clothoid mirrored at 180° , also called a teardrop shape. If the looping would be perfectly round the inert nature of your head and body would put extreme sudden forces on your neck because your direction of momevent changes so suddenly. With the clothoid the radius increases over time so it's way easier on your head and neck.

      Everyone would have experienced it when they drive on a highway or ride a train going at speed, because the curves on both are built with the same principle. The curve radius goes from infinite and gradually down to the target radius, then back out towards infinity. On an otherwise straight-arc-straight construction the normal force at the tangent points would be sudden and enormous.

    I have POTS and the way Tom describes passing out and having to use a g-strain maneuver to avoid this is very similar to the syncopes and convulsions I experience just from standing up! Only difference is that I remember the space in-between in a vague manner. I know it's happening beforehand, and I know it happened as I come back into consciousness, but the in-between is different. It starts as nothing, every semblance of thought is suddenly gone, there's nothing but existential static, like your soul left your body. Then you start to come back, first as feelings, then images, dreams, thoughts, and finally you wake up as your hearing and vision fades back in along with the rest of your senses, leaving you confused for only a moment.

    So tilt-shift lenses have two separate functions, tilt and shift. You can also get lenses that just do one or the other.
    For photographing buildings without the perspective distortion it's the shift part that's important, not the tilt. What you do is *not* point up at the building. You keep the camera level, pointing horizontally forward so the sensor is vertical. That means any vertical lines in the scene like the edges of the building will appear parallel.
    The shift function shifts the lens relative the camera, but for this it's easier to think of it as shifting the camera relative to the lens. So you simply shift the camera down, and because the image is upside down inside the camera that means you crop out the bottom of the photo and you start to see more of the top of the building.
    It's exactly equivalent to having a camera with a bigger sensor, or a with a wider angle lens, and cutting off the bottom of the picture later.

With ours being the only one that got stuck and all the others going back into disembarking psosition.

    There's a simple reason that as technology advances, things often seem to get worse: It's insanely complicated. Not like 'oh its kinda tricky.' More like... we're essentially operating a 500 mile by 500 mile wide abacus made of rice grains with chopsticks. From the moon. It is frankly absurd that computers work at all. Even a cheap computer contains more parts than any other device ever built by mankind. The only other devices with more parts contain CPUs as one of their parts. There are billions of transistors packed into a square inch or so, flipping their states billions of times per second, and if only ONE of them isn't in PERFECT synchrony with every single other one, the entire thing immediately crashes and comes to a complete halt. We can't even program them directly any more. Even if we write in assembly, the code is translated and re-ordered and split across different execution units and unpredictably run alongside other code we've never seen, stopped at any time and restarted possibly years later, attached to devices that didn't even necessarily exist at the time of manufacture or code authoring. The CPUs also have undocumented instructions, and sidecar 'management engine' processors that can dive into its inner workings and modify things regardless of what state your code expects. And we let USERS touch the damn things! It's an absolute miracle that even something like Minesweeper works most of the time.
    Oh, and we let these things operate cars and critical societal infrastructure.... while also having not one single standard or licensing requirement or education requirement at all required by any company. Toyota, which turned out firmware in their cars that killed a dozen people (just in the US), didn't even give their developers a bug tracker. They didn't have version control. Automotive code has 90+ practices which are considered 'suggested' or 'recommended' by the automotive industry (entirely not legal standards, just ad hoc ones). The cost Toyota cars ran followed 4 of them. Out of over 90. And the executives at the company were found not guilty for criminal negligence. Because, as the judge correctly observed, there is exist NO legal standards that the company even could have conceivably violated. You could let middle schoolers slap together a "self driving car" software stack, and unleash it on the public, and there isn't a court in the nation that could convict you of anything. And yet, sometimes... some of it works? HOW?
    Also, if you understood what Tom Scott was talking about when he was talking about the 'drop' on a rollercoaster... then you understand what withdrawal from an SSRI is like. People commonly call it the "zaps". I always thought the perfect explanation of it was like when you were a kid and you went on a swing, if you ever looked at the ground as you were swinging down toward it and got that 'rushing' feeling, it is exactly that. Every time your eyes move suddenly. So I would guess that the mechanism for the sensation on rollercoasters is primarily concerned with serotonin, or lack thereof. It is PROFOUNDLY unpleasant to go through and can be quite debilitating.
    My prediction, which I am willing to set in the stone of the UA-cam comments, is that the first company to get real full self driving to market will be the company that cuts the most corners and doesn't listen to their engineers who say they need more time for testing, and their vehicle will plow into a group of preschoolers or some other extremely sensitive demographic, and it will be the headlines for weeks. Then the court case will be the headlines for months more. And we will get to see just how shoddy their work was, how the engineers begged them not to go to market, how the executives told them to shut up because they didn't understand "the big picture", how there were 4 managers for every 1 software engineer on the project, etc... and then the judge at the end will declare the company not guilty for negligence for the same reason mentioned before. It's flat out not POSSIBLE for a company to be negligent if there is software involved. The public will actually realize what this means this time. And they will demand action immediately. And politicians will oblige them. They will create mandatory licensing requirements, create a big bureaucracy that mandates code standards, and they will be TERRIBLE. Most likely they will mandate use of Java with Design Patterns, since that is one of the worst and most resoundingly failed ways of creating software. It'll be terrible.

Since tesla is doing experiment on some scale, I think we should just wait and see the test results.

You just need to know the life expectancy and calc that expectancy in how you use it (aka make backups at appropriate times and replace stuff). It's not a miracle that you can use this the way it was designed for people to use.

    That stomach thing hit me hard. I got that as a kid when I drifted off to sleep... I still don't know why to this day, maybe a fear of not waking up.

      This is only the 3rd video I've watched on this channel so I wasn't prepared for the hard 'alright that's time see you later' cut- got me good.

    It makes me happy to hear that Tom has really embraced going on rollercoasters.

    In regards to film photography, I’ve just gotten into it after doing various forms of digital photography for a while, and I love it. The tangibility of it is what really made me fall in love. The whole process, from more intentional shooting, developing, enlarging, printing, and so on is a fantastic journey.

    Listening to you guys talking about Magic Mountain, which is in my city, was nostalgic as my family would go there every summer, sometimes with friends.

    As someone who got quite tall very quickly growing up - it absolutely does make roller coasters more painful. As a kid I used to love them, once I hit 6 foot my back started to hurt anytime I went through a loop.

    The feeling of your tummy going when you drop is something I can get sitting still but falling in a videogame in a way that i didn't expect. I first had it with GTA:SA and still get it to this day
