Holy shit that segue! I knew what would come after the second sentence of it ("with all the media"), and it hit like a bolt from thin air alongside with the objective fact of how sheer genius the segue was.

[@Savahax]

Oh wow interesting news site. Most I read is blatant marxist propaganda. Unbearable

[@claudiu2019]

Is ground news the ministry of thruth? Can I ask chatgpt if I should trust GN? Can I ask Gemini if chatgpt is onest? Should I trust ground news news about Gemini news?😅

these ads are actually good tho...like the panning out and being like "has this happened to you?"

"Guess-and-Check has stood the test of time for a reason" 😂

[@mushroomjuise2349]

the = instead of == hits close man

[@guymitchell9234]

Not as close as forgetting a semicolon

[@Skylla54]

Twist. It was javascript, because of not type checking it went into a recursive loop. Thats how the eternity bug happened. I send a PR. Should be fixed in some time.

[@joebuckley2180]

As manufacturing engineers, it's often said that we "fight fires" so I asked someone if it's "Engineer = Firefighter or Engineer == Firefighter?"

yes, yes it did. Ouch

I don't get it

[@artemis.nnnnnbbbbb]

@@thedarkbrickstudio2452 he forgot to comment it, so he added it but not in a comment so it errored

[@nosajimiki5885]

A comment is a way of excluding a section of code from compiling so that it's just a note in your code without actually being functional code. You often see developers put their name and date of publication in a comment at the top of their code, particularly in open source programs with attribution licenses.

[@CubemasterXD]

everytime someone asks me to code up something "small, it wont take long" its exactly this kind of scope with exactly this kind of errors with exactly this kind of "did you not write documentation"

[@timeodaneosetdona]

Me: So we’ve got the backend pretty much sorted. We’ve bodged up a basic front end so you can test the functionality. Them: Can I get the icons in Cornflower Blue ?”

[@CubemasterXD]

you mean willing && able

[@Daviticus042]

And at least one of them is actually good.😉

[@NaudVanDalen]

The reason time in this Matrix goes by much slower than in the real world (while in the movie it's the same speed) is because he's running it on a laptop, so it needs a lot of time to calculate one second of the Matrix.

I think he once said engineer-related skits would go here, but it may have been in one of my simulations.

[@jqsm1neS]

@julianw1010 this changes nothing about what i said

ik I checked the channel and was like "huh"

[@San-pv]

yes smart version is for the smart people

[@galvanart3623]

"Forgot a semicolon" ah yes engineering

[@brunoberti8790]

Wait. When they exit the matrix they don't have helmets. They're still inside

[@AtrakKarta]

Or since it's the future, maybe they got upgraded to the Elon X-Tesla FitBit Chimp Chip, which is inside their heads. Gotta keep it ambiguous; the sequel isn't written yet.

[@OzixiThrill]

That and if a thousand years go by in real life, you won't make it.

[@DugdoesDigging]

cleanest ad transition

[@businessoutsidethelines]

"Forgot a semicolon" Around 1992, I was writing code on the Genesis (68000 cpu), for a game we were showing SEGA 2 weeks later at CES. I caught a bug. I spent 3 days looking for it before I finally noticed the missing pound (#) sign. I was loading from memory, not immediate... Still made my deadline!

[@nosajimiki5885]

Around 1992 I was sitting in my dad's lap as he programed and I thought typing looked so cool that I would give it a try, he undid most of the damage quickly, but somewhere in the process I managed to replace a colon with a semicolon which took him 3 weeks to fix because its exact placement meant that it compiled without any warnings or errors... just did the wrong thing.

[@businessoutsidethelines]

@@nosajimiki5885 LOL, I had my son on my lap once. He hit clear... Fortunately, I'd backed up 5 minutes earlier. But it's amazing how one character can make the difference and in hundreds of thousands of lines of code, seeing the difference between this ";" and this ":" is tough!

[@SaHaRaSquad]

I once wrote such ugly code that a snippet I commented out was necessary for compilation, removing the comment would trigger a compiler bug and make it throw an error.

[@Hiljaa_]

In 1992, I was -15 years old. How fast time flies

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

"Have you tried turning it on and back off again" "I literally can't"

[@danser_theplayer01]

1:22 duuude, so accurate, I write a function or two and then I get like 10 errors before I figure out that squiggly bracket } was extra.

[@CameronJShaw]

This video was so out of left field, and its what I love from Zach Star.

[@LUCTIANITO]

This is a class about how to make an advertisement

[@Forsheygames]

😮😮😮 two Zach videos in an hour holy shit balls

[@somerandomweeb4836]

That's because he's able and willing to entertain us

[@ReaIHuman]

3:40 when you want to see if friendly fire is on.

[@srepinS]

1:25 That is so real. Making a whole script and realizing you didn't add a parenthesis or dome other syntax bs

i can imagine the bloopers of him trying to fight himself in front of a green screen

[@jw8160]

Green screen? No, he films his videos in the Matrix and then exports them so we can watch them out here. 😋

@@jw8160 oh right

[@KaleDarville]

the infomercial sponsor bit is still my favorite way to do ad reads

[@TaurielTheElf]

As a Computer Science student, this is the most relatable thing I've ever seen in my entire life

[@igorbondarev5226]

These 2 channels have finally become indistinguishable

[@beskamir5977]

I maintain that these shorts are just very elaborate ads with perfect sponsorship integrations.

[@retroforager]

ground news got every damn youtuber in a chokehold

[@Immortal_Cultivation]

Can't wait until a Matrix/SAO vr system is created

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

They had a show about this, it's called "Chuck" and its fantastic!!

[@claudiu2019]

Because of the blonde spy

[@jackengele2144]

To be clear for other people reading this, the show is the same concept of uploading Kung fu to someone's mind. Not someone trying to engineer the matrix to win a Kung fu contest

[@Conta_Minated]

I'm pretty sure he had no idea if dying in the matrix would kill you in real life too. Seeing how quick he was to test it, he clearly hoped so.

[@semja]

The real joke is that engineers actually have these expectations for them

[@tk40gamingjunior]

2:26 bro went from mad to chill 😂

[@jarrod752]

[@sleepykitten2168]

Best sponsorship transition ever.

The best intro to a sponsor I've ever seen lol

Are we sure this was uploaded to the correct channel?

[@1jotun136]

"stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself"

[@nvmr080]

Hey Zach, I really love your content and have watched almost every video you have done on engineering, and I was wondering you could do one about Computational Engineering, because there seems to be really not that much content about it

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

never have i seen a sponsorship transition that fits so well with the actual video.

[@SackbotNinja03]

Better explanation on the creation of the matrix than the movie

[@morkovija]

I love this, thanks Zach for sharing your comedy bits with the main channel folks who might be missing out on the goldmine of such stuff you have on your other secret channel!

[@makori]

Hey this looks like the guy from the youtube channel "Zach Star Himself"

[@Thrackerzod11]

Right? Best crossover ever

[@chr1093]

We got second channel videos back on the first channel!

[@GraysonJStedmanjr]

"Siri, build me the matrix, I forgot my homework"

[@ATTIQOP]

That sponsor was smooth

[@ashleysmith38]

It does feel like that sometimes when you study engineering

[@flairium5296]

The accuracy here is absolutely incredible. Now there are 2 issues with the accuracy of this video. First is that you forgot to include the 6 hours of procrastinating, and 2 hours of screaming at Google. Second is the time warp anomaly, you forgot to make sure the multiplication only played once per second, so although each second should have been only 1.015 second, you ended up with each second being 1.015^60 seconds.

[@ztheyoutuber9614]

I love how he posts on both of the channels

[@PhatesDemise]

Bro just played “Guess and check” with death 😂

[@luisfilipe2023]

[@Tekkerue]

I am willing and able to guess and check.

[@CaptainBlitz]

1:26 oh my god not the semicolon that brings back PTSD😭😭

[@jaybingham3711]

Although they look spot on, you can tell those are actually knock-off simulator helmets. Originals all have a certain distinct click noise when they are plugged in. Well I say original. Then again...

[@andresdelbusto2184]

Glad to know a Matrix's creator level engineer does the same mistakes and test things on the same way as I do when programming

[@zunaidparker]

engineering the matrix requires massive exploration efforts not some title to draw unsuspecting viewers in to discuss the awareness of matrices we should explore what we can not spread awareness of exploration its like your room needs to be cleaned and you are spreading awareness that your room will be cleaned even though there is no trajectory suggesting the task to be started.
