2015 10 30 Claude Shannon

[@johnyepthomi892]

Claude Shannon needs more love.

[@quantummath]

Priceless lecture ... just awesome. By the way, he's got a pretty nice lecture series on Stochastic Processes at MIT, also a great collection.

[@amaresh105]

A really invaluable video I have ever watched. Thanks Prof Emeritus Robert G. Gallager for this wonderful talk. :)

R.I .P CLAUDE SHANNON 2001

[@topdog5252]

Lovely and fascinating. Great lecture.

[@spyrospapantoniou1257]

A legend! Bit of information explained with typical sequences, as "Bob does not understand entropy!" grin ... Ingeniously simple..

[@oumasstabdallah3424]

Priceless lecture

[@voyagersa22]

Thanks for this. Amazing lecture. Shannon's work is just astounding!

[@jianyuniu5775]

Amazing lecture! Learns a lot from it.

[@adampax]

Did anyone else think the lecture was going to be by Claude Shannon?

[@JB-su7lm]

alray tol' you it's him. go back to schoo, foo. ;)

[@jbtechcon7434]

Yeah, I think Claude Shannon, then I heard a cartoon mouse, then some dude who wasn't Claude Shannon either.

[@satioOeinas]

No bc i knew he died before 2015 lol 😞 rip Claude

[@VictorMartinez-nx7ww]

So, I guess it was a surprise....

21:00 and then replay it all again.

[@shahidshahnits]

It is really amazing talk ever I have heard on how to do research esp. in Information theory

[@tlrndk123]

27:58 "Of course he was a nerd! I mean he is one of the greatest researchers of the 20th century, you think he was an athlete in high school or something?" This made me grin haha

[@beverlyblake5911]

And of course DNA defines itself between codes is with on/off switches and a lot of unused data just hangs around making the strands longer so boolean algebra is really handy in explaining biological things too.

[@johanh.vanderstegen5315]

bedankt voor de klare uitleg

[@nebimertaydin3187]

wow, what a great lesson

[@GuillaumeVerdonA]

It's kind if ironic to have compression artifacts on a video about Shannon.

[@csaracho2009]

And where is the irony? I simply do not get it. Regards.

[@jamescoplen9309]

Who is here from that TikTok guy?

[@hereforthumbnail2435]

Me : opens the video Me: Randomly guesses her age is 50+ Me : hear her voice Me: wtf

[@jareknowak8712]

Quantum dualism.

[@josephjung1119]

LDPC codes... Now I am studying it..

[@MrMichaelsu]

Anyone have a summary of this lecture for the impatient crowd?

[@low-key-gamer6117]

Thanks to her voice my ear diaphragm broke

[@RAVETOR]

😆

[@pinkeye00]

Great lecture, but its nice the ego is ALMOST left at the door as a presenter. Find some comments to not have aged well, noting he's from a prior generation ... but the substance is very suitable. Didn't go off the rails like Shockley, thank goodness.

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

Claude shannon theory is not in the least bit true. It is at best a very supercilious view of compression coding. I have come up with scores of methods where 2^n bits of information can be losslessly coded in O(n) bits(order of n bits). So c*n bits of data, where c is a very very small constant can contain at least 2^n bits of information coded losslessly. Not only is massive lossless data compression a reality, but large numbers of terabytes sizes can be represented and manipulated within a few bytes, all mathematical operations performed within those few bytes.

This is a great attitude toward learning kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJakYYGAg7p4nK8m48s

Thanks, I am think the algebra means according to arbic man names Jaber Abn Haain

[@ogfrostman]

What's sexist about saying Socrates was a man? This old guy is too much to take!

[@satioOeinas]

Haha agreed - to much personal opinion when all I wanted was to know more about the genius Claude

[@mwazra6625]

The ``sexist" part was not the assertion that Socrates was a man. He used a statement that says "Philosophers are men" - I think that is why he is saying that the example is ``sexist".

[@bobweiram6321]

Little does MIT know that African's had developed boolean and fractal mathematics well before Shannon and Boole: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-WZ6SMabGeb5Y

Helps little if they never put it to use lol
