the missile knows where it is EXPLAINED

Do you know where you are? I love this meme, so in this educational video I dissect what the true meaning of the missile knows where it is is.
If you liked this video consider subscribing, it would help me out.

The ironic part is that what he is saying is actually codeable

[@konstantink.2127]

I feel like because he says it in a way that's pretty much codeable right away, it is close to incomprehensible for most people lol.

[@mr.ballstone1914]

Well yeah because he’s just describing the code of the missile

[@karoshn]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWqXk3SCdsx4hK8si=4rTPpPK2hfw_sXdK this dude coded it in JS

[@tjdragon7993]

The only problem with his explanation is that he's using variable names that are incredibly confusing and unhelpful. This demonstrates the value of picking sensible, easy to understand variable names in your code.

[@Pancakewagon26]

Probably because someone coded the computer systems in the missile.

[@maxime5257]

abs(where it isn't - where it is) = abs(n't) = absent. QUICK MATH

[@Megalomaniakaal]

Absinthe tend to do that to ya.

[@deezniel2024]

That is true only if (where it is=n't/(n't-1))

[@diamondthree]

[@theta3404]

Wait but wouldn't |n't| be yes? Like a positive version of n't.

[@alejrandom6592]

Wait

[@pixelmace1423]

Dumbed down/explanation version as translated by yours truly: The missile simulates where it is and how to reach the target with its guidance system. If it senses that its simulated position is different from its current position, it adjusts the simulation to make it more accurate. Example: The simulation says “oh move this fin clockwise to go left” The missile follows the simulations command but uh oh! It went RIGHT! “DAMN IT I WAS WRONG” says the system, so it fixes itself to not FUCK UP next time.

We always get caught up in where the missile is, but we never bothered to ask how the missile is.

[@gavinpfistergavi7803]

Ah yes I fully understand and am not confused whatsoever

[@ElectricMahatama]

you should know what you understand by understanding what you dont understand

[@TormentDaProtogen]

1:36 that series of repeated "error" messages at the end, as if it broke something somewhere in your software you can feel the rising, confusion-induced (and confusion-inducing) panic rising as the meme goes on

Okay but does the missile know where I am?

[@GenericOceanLinerHistorian]

Yes.

It knows where you aren’t, so that’s a start.

[@choonuyehara5709]

It’s basically saying (after replaying and pausing the video to many times) (Position.a-Missile is where it is now. AKA current position. Remember that) that it knows where it is (I), because it knows “where it isn’t” (S).Then it subtracts the s-I, or I-s to get (d) ( “where it isn’t” is everywhere except for its CURRENT position) The missile knows where to go by use it (d) to make commands (Position .b is where it is CURRENTLY)Then after it moves let say 2 inches, it’s no longer at pos.a And remember how I said “where it isn’t is everywhere except for its CURRENT position” well the missile is now in the place we USED to call “where the missile isn’t”. Another way to think of it is. Image a perfectly round kittie pool. Inside is a rubber duck. The water around rubber duck is where it isn’t (a) The duck is where it is (d) The duck moved an inch. The duck in now in a (a)=where it is’t

[@llllllll4206]

This whole video is a nonsense meme made to confuse people to show how you can overcomplicate an explenation. Nobody knows this for some reason and thinks it is a real explenation.

1:23 That should not a include a question mark, much less two. Punctuation has a structure for a reason, and all of you need to stop using question marks simply because you lack any self-confidence such that you don’t know how to post a declarative statement that you’re unsure of. Jesus!

It’s not rocket science my dude

[@panickal]

It's funny audio but quite stupid concept, missile only needs to know where it needs to go, not where it isn't in world space.

[@k_otey]

it needs to know where it is, to go where it needs to though

[@panickal]

@@k_otey Missile only cares for how to hit its target in relative/local space

[@Jasekingg]

But won't knowing where it isn't make it more accurate? Like if it has a command on where it needs to go from start, just like a script/ programming, it needs to know that it isn't there. In theory, you need to know that you aren't somewhere to be somewhere, which makes more sense in the relm of programing

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

Thats qhy soviet misslea suck. They don't do the complex thinking.
