WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960 I love VS Code. That's just what I enjoy. It 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:05.379 just feels so much better than U of M. And I 00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:09.099 also, I love Windows. It's overall, it's a solid 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.460 operating system. This package I have right here 00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.560 is just something I threw together in a few days 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.760 as kind of a joke. And what it does pretty much 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.739 is generate nonsensical math papers. You can 00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:26.269 zoom in and see it's just like all random. Byjective 00:00:26.269 --> 00:00:28.530 constructible algebra, the anti -standard Zilber 00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:30.969 groupoid lemma for anti -standard groupoid is 00:00:30.969 --> 00:00:32.189 extremely reliable. Sounds like something you 00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:36.369 would have written. Like I can show, for example, 00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:40.170 you're familiar with the problem Fizzbuzz used 00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:45.229 a three instead of a five. Oh. So that's easy 00:00:45.229 --> 00:00:50.210 fix. There we go. Do you have any thoughts on 00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:54.270 substance abuse, like drugs, alcohol, all that 00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:59.460 stuff? Yeah, sure. Well, if you're listening 00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.759 to this as a podcast, remember that it was originally 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.659 recorded as a video. If you're not following 00:01:03.659 --> 00:01:05.700 along, you can go to my YouTube channel. My username 00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.739 is Linkarzu. And if you want to support me to 00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:10.040 keep this podcast going, you can donate in Ko 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.659 -fi. I'm going to leave a link in the description. 00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:13.819 All right. So let's get started with this chapter 00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:19.219 then. We bring in the studio this morning, one 00:01:19.219 --> 00:01:23.000 of the Vimotions activists, Mr. Should I call 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.019 you Mr. Sylvan Vimati Franklin. Thank you for 00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:31.159 coming in. Good afternoon. Hey, what's up? Why 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.079 are you a Vim user? I don't know. It's kind of 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.760 a long story. I guess how everyone gets into 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.200 it. It's just like years of seeing people do 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.459 it on YouTube. And I just I wanted to do the 00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:50.879 same thing. I wanted the speed. So I guess that's 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.019 why this is a simple answer. Yeah. And what did 00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:58.420 you get started with? Sylvan. Can I call you... 00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:02.879 How do you like to be called? Sylvan? Vimati? 00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:07.260 Sylvan is good. Okay. What are your thoughts 00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:12.599 on the name that was imposed to you by Primogen, 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.479 Vimati? What did you think when you... Did you 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.740 watch the video? Of course you did, right? Oh, 00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:22.259 of course I did, yeah. Well, I mean, it's funny. 00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:25.719 It keeps coming up. it's definitely not a bad 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.340 thing like being compared to an attractive actor 00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:34.400 constantly it's like no dude oh no yeah i'm not 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.400 mad about it yeah okay so what did you get started 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.759 with did you get started with um vs code vim 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.699 neo vim or i i guess i got started actually with 00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:53.039 eclipse like very early on um learning java and 00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:57.569 At some point, I switched to like the JetBrains 00:02:57.569 --> 00:03:01.550 IDEs and PyCharm and IntelliJ. And then from 00:03:01.550 --> 00:03:05.550 there, I went to VS Code with the Vim bindings. 00:03:05.590 --> 00:03:10.110 And from there, I went to NeoVim. And why did 00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:15.289 you start with Vim? Was it inspired by YouTube 00:03:15.289 --> 00:03:19.919 or how did all that start? It was, yeah. I think 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.039 the first person I saw ever using Vim was the 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.960 YouTuber Ben Awad. I don't know if you remember 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.259 him. He kind of just mentioned it in passing 00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:33.080 in a video, and I don't know why it just struck 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.719 me. I was like, how bad can it be? I'm learning 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.819 a bunch of programming stuff right now. If everyone 00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:39.520 says that's a good thing to do, I'll just do 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.120 it. And yeah, I learned like HJK, all the basic 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.939 stuff, and then I picked up more and more Vim 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:51.550 as I went. Yeah, I remember that guy. He's not 00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:55.129 doing YouTube anymore, right? Not really. He's 00:03:55.129 --> 00:03:58.669 on to like startups and stuff, I think. He's 00:03:58.669 --> 00:04:03.250 got a game he's working on. Oh, really? Yeah. 00:04:03.449 --> 00:04:07.210 Now, do you remember how you felt the first times 00:04:07.210 --> 00:04:13.270 that you used Finmotions? And be honest, you 00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:15.629 know, because I remember the first times, man. 00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:19.220 It was... Yeah. it felt like garbage and i was 00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:22.240 like but why do people do this to themselves 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.220 and uh it didn't stick you know the first like 00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:29.300 three times i just gave up i didn't come back 00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:32.899 for years you know so you remember how how that 00:04:32.899 --> 00:04:35.939 was for you how did you feel i don't remember 00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:38.839 it super strongly but i definitely like i had 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.100 kind of the same experience as you and i think 00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.759 a lot of people like hjkl was pretty easy for 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.459 me right off the bat, because that's on the home 00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:49.540 row. I kind of understood the idea there. But 00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:52.199 learning the other parts of it, I feel like you 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.980 don't really start to understand Vim until you're 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.819 getting V around objects and you're moving stuff 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.939 with visual. Then you get the appeal. But before 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:04.680 that, yeah, I was using my mouse all the time. 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.759 I would use just kind of H, J, K, L, and maybe 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.000 W and B. just like the very basics but for some 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000 reason ever since the beginning i just really 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.379 liked the feel of it it took me a while to fully 00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:18.540 get in but yeah once i started i never really 00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:22.680 went back no no it didn't happen to me because 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.740 i used to open vim in servers and usually i needed 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.040 to do something there and just get out get out 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.519 of the server you know so yeah it was like oh 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.519 man was it was tough and it i didn't like it 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.959 at all but now I cannot go back to, you know, 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.720 using the arrows and all that stuff. But H -A 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.220 -K -L was really tough for me, if I'm being honest 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.959 with you. No, I didn't get used to it fast. It 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.939 took me quite some time. How old are you, by 00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:55.420 the way, if you want to share that with us? I'm 00:05:55.420 --> 00:06:00.800 20. I'm about to be 21 in October. Oh, nice. 00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:06.980 Okay. Now, let me look at your website here. 00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:11.420 real quick. Okay. So I have it pulled up. Um, 00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:16.779 this is where we can find you, right? Okay. So 00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:20.240 what do we see here? Uh, okay. Is this, I've 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.420 never seen it in dark mode before. That's interesting. 00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:26.480 Oh yeah. It's, it's a light theme. Yeah. And 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.860 we see here pyramid schemes. What is this about? 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.920 Is this like a referral type of thing? It is. 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.300 Yeah. It's, um, Have you ever heard of the YouTuber 00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:41.500 Luke Smith? The one that is in the forest right 00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:45.920 now? Yep, the weird Vim guy. One of his things 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.300 was also credit cards. You're in South America, 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.300 right? Central. I don't know about Central. I 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:55.399 don't know about there, but credit cards here, 00:06:55.540 --> 00:06:58.600 the credit card companies give you a ton of different... 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.660 They give you a bunch of cash back and rewards 00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:04.420 for using their card. And you can make quite 00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:07.600 a lot of money doing it, actually. I make a couple 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.680 thousand dollars a year just on credit card rewards. 00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:14.420 And basically, the idea is he put a lot of people 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:17.120 onto it. And if you put your referral links on 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.420 your website, like whenever anyone signs up for 00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:22.439 one of these cards, I get the referral bonus 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.620 from it. And it caps out at like five per month. 00:07:26.189 --> 00:07:29.410 or something but it refreshes every month so 00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:31.769 it's a pretty solid source of income and it doesn't 00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:33.709 inconvenience anyone like if they're getting 00:07:33.709 --> 00:07:36.589 the card anyway they might as well interesting 00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:40.350 i didn't know that so it's a real like bonus 00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:43.509 that you get okay and look used to do it right 00:07:43.509 --> 00:07:46.790 you mentioned he did yeah he has a video where 00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:49.790 he bought a car just on credit card rewards oh 00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:53.269 man That's really interesting, actually. Okay, 00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:56.110 so do you have any articles here or is it just 00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:58.170 this front page and that's it? Like links to 00:07:58.170 --> 00:08:03.189 your other pages? That's it. It's just static 00:08:03.189 --> 00:08:09.250 HTML one site. That's all there is. Okay, then 00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:13.629 your GitHub. Now, let's see your experience. 00:08:15.069 --> 00:08:18.939 Director of Dynamic Interpolation for... Comprehensive 00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:21.459 media distribution analysis as it applies to 00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:23.480 heuristic community building and efficient workplace 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.620 design practices. Through the Open Ambiguity 00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:30.459 Foundation, former head of technical minutiae. 00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:33.179 How do you pronounce that? The minutiae, yeah. 00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:36.080 Okay, at the Global Foundation of Situational, 00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:39.279 Systematic Dependence and Programmatic Regression 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.629 Analysis. Lead team, lead. It's not just... lead 00:08:45.629 --> 00:08:48.649 right it's the lean tip lead at corp corp okay 00:08:48.649 --> 00:08:57.289 and what is what is this what is this about it's 00:08:57.289 --> 00:09:00.830 kind of just a a parody of other people's github 00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:02.610 because i think it's really funny when people 00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:06.509 take github too seriously or social media yeah 00:09:06.509 --> 00:09:10.090 exactly and they're putting all their their like 00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:11.889 acting like it's a big serious thing and their 00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:14.090 projects are used by a bunch of people and it's 00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:18.090 just random learning projects so it's kind of 00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:20.570 a parody of that i think it also helps me stand 00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:22.549 out to recruiters a little bit i would like to 00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:25.029 think at least exactly it does you know because 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.200 That's what everyone tells you. Your GitHub profile 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.100 has to be professional and all that. I did that. 00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:35.559 I still have my main page, but in my .files readme, 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.879 I just don't care anymore. Same with LinkedIn, 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.440 man. I had my LinkedIn. I didn't have the picture, 00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.519 you know, the suit. I hate that. You know, the 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.919 picture with the tie and the suit and black and 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.039 white. I just don't like it at all. But yeah, 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:56.679 LinkedIn is not. too useful actually what what 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.759 are your thoughts on linkedin do you use it uh 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.539 no not really i i guess i have it just for people 00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.759 to contact me because a lot of people like don't 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.259 like writing emails anymore so it's kind of an 00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:11.460 easier version of that but i don't like the culture 00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:13.679 of linkedin at all like you said it's just it's 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.679 it's so fake there's nothing good happening on 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.799 there at all especially now that they've added 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.830 the ability to I don't know, post content like 00:10:21.830 --> 00:10:23.809 it's Instagram. It's just turned into such a 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:27.950 bad website. Yeah. I just use it to promote my 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:32.149 videos, man. And that's basically it. Just post 00:10:32.149 --> 00:10:37.450 them there. What is this Aura coding? Do you 00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:43.149 mind sharing with us? I'm not exactly sure what 00:10:43.149 --> 00:10:45.889 that is, honestly. I just kind of came up with 00:10:45.889 --> 00:10:49.830 it randomly. It's kind of funny because the, 00:10:49.929 --> 00:10:54.250 you know, the word vibe used a lot by Gen Z kind 00:10:54.250 --> 00:10:58.490 of started out for vibe coding and aura is kind 00:10:58.490 --> 00:11:00.990 of another term that means the same thing, but 00:11:00.990 --> 00:11:03.710 it came after vibe just isn't a way to say the 00:11:03.710 --> 00:11:05.610 same thing. So I was like, I'll just take that 00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:09.490 and make it my own thing. Yeah, pretty creative. 00:11:10.250 --> 00:11:15.409 Has it drawn other people's attention, your GitHub 00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:21.759 profile? have people talked about it um i'm not 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.960 honestly sure i don't know if i don't know if 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.259 it's been pointed out beyond i mean on my channel 00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:28.759 people like will mention it and i've talked about 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.120 it on my channel before but i haven't seen anyone 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.919 else comment on it really which is a shame i 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.820 think it's pretty funny yeah it is it is and 00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:43.580 regarding your content creation approach i see 00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:46.669 that it's different to what is usually out there, 00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:49.169 you know, because everything is pretty serious, 00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:51.730 including myself. You know, most of the people 00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:54.029 are pretty serious in YouTube. And if it's a 00:11:54.029 --> 00:11:56.970 tutorial, you know, everything is just black, 00:11:57.070 --> 00:12:01.210 white. There's no too much of, you know, that 00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:08.990 humor, we could say. Yeah. So what are your thoughts 00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:12.759 on the... content out there on youtube all of 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:18.059 the vim or the overall tech related content yeah 00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:21.679 sure well i was um i was looking around at youtube 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.659 because people that use vim and neovim we watch 00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:27.799 a lot of youtube to find the the tips and stuff 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.399 you know and i saw like there was kind of a gap 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.980 for someone doing comedy since ben awad left 00:12:35.549 --> 00:12:37.330 And other people do it. Like, I guess you could 00:12:37.330 --> 00:12:40.909 say Fireship and there's BigBoxSWE. He also does 00:12:40.909 --> 00:12:44.549 some. But yeah, no one who really made it their 00:12:44.549 --> 00:12:47.169 main thing. And I was also looking at NeoVim 00:12:47.169 --> 00:12:50.889 and all the people who do Unix stuff. And everyone 00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:53.289 there right now seems to kind of have the same 00:12:53.289 --> 00:12:56.429 style of like neon text, synthwave aesthetic. 00:12:56.809 --> 00:13:03.570 That's me, man. It's everyone. There's nothing 00:13:03.570 --> 00:13:05.830 wrong with that inherently at all. I mean, it 00:13:05.830 --> 00:13:08.649 is cool looking, but the problem comes in when 00:13:08.649 --> 00:13:10.409 like so many people are doing it, you know, it's 00:13:10.409 --> 00:13:12.389 hard for you to stand out when everyone else 00:13:12.389 --> 00:13:15.509 is doing it. And yeah, especially I see like 00:13:15.509 --> 00:13:19.409 a lot of, I follow like as many new of them YouTubers 00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:21.269 as I can, right? Keep an eye on the competition. 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.139 And a lot of them just start off and they have 00:13:24.139 --> 00:13:26.600 exactly that same aesthetic. So I just wanted 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.679 to go with something completely different. And 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.720 it's also another thing is I think a lot of people 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.220 have really clean setups. You know, I guess DevOps 00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:35.600 Toolbox was the first one to really do that. 00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:38.080 And there's another guy like Josian, I think. 00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:43.860 Yeah. Who has kind of a similar. Yeah. And that's 00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:46.059 it looks really nice. It looks really clean. 00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:49.389 Right. But. the average guy doesn't have a setup 00:13:49.389 --> 00:13:51.889 that looks like that we're we're rocking like 00:13:51.889 --> 00:13:55.549 you're just throwing your laptop on a table and 00:13:55.549 --> 00:13:57.570 you don't have a crazy maybe you have a desk 00:13:57.570 --> 00:14:00.809 setup but so i think it it also helps to relate 00:14:00.809 --> 00:14:04.230 to people more when you're just using simple 00:14:04.230 --> 00:14:09.649 stuff yeah okay and uh what type of content do 00:14:09.649 --> 00:14:14.110 you consume on youtube you watch um your vim 00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:20.490 related stuff I do now and then, not hugely anymore 00:14:20.490 --> 00:14:23.730 that I'm producing it now. I just kind of, the 00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:26.029 way I source my information is through the manuals 00:14:26.029 --> 00:14:28.830 most of the time. Sometimes I like to just drop 00:14:28.830 --> 00:14:30.909 by other people that I know, like you sometimes, 00:14:31.169 --> 00:14:33.950 and there's Henry Misk is another guy I talked 00:14:33.950 --> 00:14:36.269 to before. So I like to check out his content 00:14:36.269 --> 00:14:38.529 now and then. And yeah, I just like to see what 00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:41.629 other people are up to. But I don't watch a huge 00:14:41.629 --> 00:14:44.649 amount of, yeah, Neofim YouTube anymore. I'm 00:14:44.649 --> 00:14:48.379 kind of... I guess other than TJ sometimes for 00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:51.519 like really advanced Lewis stuff that I can't 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.100 figure out myself. Yeah. Same happened to me. 00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:58.200 I used to watch a lot of YouTube and a lot, but 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.519 now that I'm creating videos, it's like watching 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.519 a two hour video. I don't do that. You know, 00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:08.799 if it's a 12 minute video, 15 minute video, I'll 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.639 watch it, you know, and I don't know what happens 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.639 with me, but I watch it all the way to the end. 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:20.740 I cannot just, you know, stop it mid video. That's 00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:23.639 good for retention. I'm glad to hear that. Yeah. 00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:27.019 Yeah. Your videos are quite short, right? And 00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:30.639 do you do that on purpose? Like, because if you 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.519 make it eight minutes or more, you can put ads 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.620 in between. Is that why you do it? Because you 00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:38.639 don't want to have ads in between videos or? 00:15:40.029 --> 00:15:42.169 Uh, you're giving me too much credit. I barely 00:15:42.169 --> 00:15:44.389 even think about it. There's no script. I just, 00:15:44.409 --> 00:15:46.450 I just talk and when I'm done, I'm done. Oh, 00:15:46.570 --> 00:15:51.009 okay. So if it's two, three minutes, just don't 00:15:51.009 --> 00:15:55.090 care, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's pretty 00:15:55.090 --> 00:16:00.090 much it. Yeah. Now, um, I noticed that in your 00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:04.519 videos, you're more into BIM. and uh not too 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.820 much into neo vim like why are you doing vim 00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:12.480 and not neo vim related stuff well i mean i i 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.899 guess i technically still am within neo vim but 00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:17.120 i'm you're referring to i'm very on the like 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:22.059 minimal side where it's like closer to closer 00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:25.399 to vim less plugins and stuff yeah or your thumbnails 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.820 or titles is it's vim it's not like neo vim because 00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:31.320 everyone else is like neo vim and the neo vim 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.659 logo and all that stuff but i say vim right in 00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.940 your content i guess when i do that on the thumbnail 00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:40.679 it's less it's less that it's about vim over 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.019 neo vim it's just i'm kind of referring to i 00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:44.919 don't know i kind of consider them both the same 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.379 thing at least vim neo vim is vim i guess vim 00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:51.799 isn't neo vim but Okay, okay, okay. But there's 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.720 no reason. Do you use both? Do you use Vim and 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.679 NeoVim or mainly NeoVim or what? I just use NeoVim, 00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:03.299 like a pretty minimal configuration of it. There 00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:04.960 are some people, right? I don't know if you've 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.259 come across them that are kind of, they've used 00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:09.259 Vim for a longer time and they're like, they 00:17:09.259 --> 00:17:15.339 don't like Lua, they're Vim script purists. I 00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:17.500 don't fully agree with that because if you go 00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:19.279 and you look at like the amount of work, I mean, 00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:21.119 you know, you interview people who are connected 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.039 to NeoVim all the time. Like these people are 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:24.900 putting in a huge amount of work to NeoVim's 00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:27.259 development and there's a bunch of good stuff 00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:29.920 that's gone into it. And Vim is, it's cool and 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.019 minimal, but Vim script is pretty. tough to work 00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:37.460 with and lua lua definitely adds quite a lot 00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:41.079 in terms of extensibility and it's nice to work 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.319 in but i'm also i am interested in kind of going 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.900 back to vim script because i don't know sometimes 00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:48.039 you're trying to type out an auto command or 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.960 something that's like vim .api underscore and 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.460 vim create auto command that it's like this would 00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:56.900 have just been au if this were vim script i think 00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:58.680 we're jumping through a lot of hoops here to 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.460 just for the sake of lua But I don't know too 00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:04.960 much about the internals of NeoVim, so I don't 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.680 want to bash on it. There's so much work that's 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.420 being put into it. And there's a lot of great 00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:14.400 new features that are added. And what are your 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.019 thoughts on extending NeoVim? Because like you 00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:20.319 mentioned, purists, right? There's people that 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:26.000 just want NeoVim to be Vim, just using with stock 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.289 motions. not U -Images and U -Vim, you know, 00:18:29.309 --> 00:18:32.130 just use it the traditional way. Do you have 00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:37.109 any thoughts on that? Yeah, totally. So I've 00:18:37.109 --> 00:18:39.589 said several times, I talked about not wanting 00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:41.950 to extend the motions, no custom text objects 00:18:41.950 --> 00:18:45.470 or like Leap and Vim or any kind of plugin like 00:18:45.470 --> 00:18:50.650 that. To be honest, it doesn't really matter. 00:18:50.809 --> 00:18:53.190 You can go either way. And at this point, my 00:18:53.190 --> 00:18:55.690 configuration is pretty custom. I'm using a custom 00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:59.509 keyboard layout. So if I were to go custom motions, 00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:01.970 I'm still getting a lot of speed and stuff. I 00:19:01.970 --> 00:19:06.789 just need to SSH quite a lot for my jobs. And 00:19:06.789 --> 00:19:09.609 I like to be able to, I don't know, I feel like 00:19:09.609 --> 00:19:12.190 if I got used to leap or I got used to a text 00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:14.150 object and I started just hitting that motion 00:19:14.150 --> 00:19:17.059 constantly. and it would it's something that 00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.119 would be hard to bring my configuration over 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.599 i guess vim if you defined it in vim script it 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.400 would be easier because most servers have vim 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.059 pre -installed but sometimes you want your configuration 00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:30.440 from nvm on the server and like it doesn't support 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.400 the newest version of it for some reason because 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.460 it's running like red hat linux or some old weird 00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:37.859 you know what i mean you can't you can't get 00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:39.940 the full features working and then it's just 00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:42.960 a massive pains i want to keep it simple yeah 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.640 i remember that I don't SSH too much into servers 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.619 right now because once you set them up, you just 00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:52.059 forget about them, right? But when I SSH into 00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:54.880 one of my servers, I used to install my Neovim 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.380 config, but they're my servers, right? So I don't 00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:00.500 care. I don't care about security. But at a company, 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.500 you will not be able to install or you should 00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:05.019 not install Neovim in all of its plugins because 00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:08.880 it's a huge security concern, right? Is it really? 00:20:08.980 --> 00:20:11.720 I didn't know that. Yeah, because of the plugins. 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.190 Are there exploits you can do? Because you're 00:20:14.190 --> 00:20:18.609 just installing plugins. Maybe nothing bad will 00:20:18.609 --> 00:20:21.029 happen. Maybe there's nothing malicious in the 00:20:21.029 --> 00:20:24.390 plugins, you know. But just to avoid any sort 00:20:24.390 --> 00:20:30.089 of issues. So when it was a work -related server, 00:20:30.329 --> 00:20:35.750 I used Vim. So none of my custom configs worked 00:20:35.750 --> 00:20:38.769 there. And it just felt different. It was not 00:20:38.769 --> 00:20:42.690 as effective. So I guess it depends, right? Do 00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:46.349 you work with servers a lot or not? I don't work 00:20:46.349 --> 00:20:49.130 with them too much at the moment, so I don't 00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:51.809 care. I'm extending NeoVim as much as possible. 00:20:52.049 --> 00:20:55.869 But there's this other option as well, remote 00:20:55.869 --> 00:20:58.890 .envim. I'm going to make a video about it. I 00:20:58.890 --> 00:21:02.029 have been thinking, you know, just from your 00:21:02.029 --> 00:21:04.690 NeoVim instance, remote into the server and use 00:21:04.690 --> 00:21:08.150 your NeoVim as usual. It could be another option, 00:21:08.309 --> 00:21:11.910 right? Yeah, I have heard about that. I haven't 00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:15.130 fully gone to try it out yet because I tried 00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:17.630 a plugin or like an earlier version of that and 00:21:17.630 --> 00:21:19.769 it was very glitchy. Like they hadn't figured 00:21:19.769 --> 00:21:22.910 everything out yet. I remember. Especially like, 00:21:22.970 --> 00:21:25.410 yeah, you've got all your like custom plugins 00:21:25.410 --> 00:21:27.730 like oil and stuff and fuzzy pickers. It's kind 00:21:27.730 --> 00:21:29.690 of difficult for those to like, they really have 00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:32.710 to be careful with how they implement the SSH 00:21:32.710 --> 00:21:40.339 connection. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Now, how 00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:48.839 do you feel about videos that nowadays you see 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.019 everywhere? Like I saw this in one of your videos, 00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:54.640 you know, the terminal in the background, a lot 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.180 of transitions, a lot of animations, a lot of 00:21:58.180 --> 00:22:02.079 stuff. How do you feel about? Those over edited 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.920 videos, I would say it's a lot of work, man. 00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:07.839 It's definitely, I give them credit for that. 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:10.339 It's definitely a huge amount of work. I don't 00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:13.039 know if there's a team behind those videos or 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.119 what, but how do you feel about those videos? 00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:20.680 Yeah, great question. I don't hate them. I don't 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:22.900 feel like strongly bad about them because like 00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:24.720 you said, I mean, they're a lot of work and it 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.579 takes a lot of skill to edit like that. And like, 00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:31.700 I guess. I guess DevOps Toolbox, again, is the 00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:34.119 big one who has really fancy editing and stuff. 00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:37.240 Nothing wrong with that at all. It's just, for 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.900 me, it's so much work, and it really would slow 00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:46.460 down the output of my videos to do that. And 00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:48.400 it's also, when I watch them, I don't really 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.319 care all too much about the editing and how nice 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.940 it looks. I'm there to learn some Vim tips, and 00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:57.089 then I'm... I'm dipping. I'm gone. So it doesn't 00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:59.829 matter to me how nice the metrics and graphs 00:22:59.829 --> 00:23:02.470 are. It's cool to have your overlay with all 00:23:02.470 --> 00:23:07.069 the information and animate it all. But to get 00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:10.250 it to work, you could just pull up a random piece 00:23:10.250 --> 00:23:12.549 of ASCII art in the terminal. I don't care, as 00:23:12.549 --> 00:23:15.970 long as I can understand it. So I do think it's 00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:20.029 cool. It's just a lot of work, for sure. Yeah. 00:23:20.630 --> 00:23:23.089 I get a little bit distracted, to be honest. 00:23:24.170 --> 00:23:27.269 And I just get lost. I just start thinking maybe 00:23:27.269 --> 00:23:30.029 about the editing process and I'm like, did this 00:23:30.029 --> 00:23:32.910 happen? And the video just continued and my mind 00:23:32.910 --> 00:23:37.490 is somewhere else already. So I just feel that 00:23:37.490 --> 00:23:41.009 I disconnect sometimes. But yeah, a lot of work. 00:23:41.930 --> 00:23:44.390 I do that too. I'm always thinking about how 00:23:44.390 --> 00:23:47.049 they edited a certain part. Now that I've done 00:23:47.049 --> 00:23:49.230 a little bit of editing myself, every video I'm 00:23:49.230 --> 00:23:51.009 looking at is how did they pull that effect off? 00:23:51.990 --> 00:23:56.269 Yeah, yeah. And do you follow advice? Because 00:23:56.269 --> 00:24:01.630 when you're making videos, there's a lot of advice 00:24:01.630 --> 00:24:05.430 there. You have to reply to each one of the comments. 00:24:05.829 --> 00:24:08.490 I've seen that you don't do that, right? You 00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:11.150 get a lot of comments. Why don't you reply to 00:24:11.150 --> 00:24:15.029 all of them? Or you just want to make a few folks 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.769 out there, a few of the furries that are in your 00:24:17.769 --> 00:24:20.490 comments special. So you just give them the hard 00:24:20.490 --> 00:24:24.440 reaction. Like, so that they feel touched by 00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:27.180 God. Like, I'm just going to like this one and 00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:31.319 this other one. I think I don't want to hand 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.559 it out too heavily. First of all, it would take 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.099 up all my time. If I give everyone the attention, 00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:38.900 then no one is special. If it's just like a few 00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:41.359 people, everyone wants it. So they keep coming 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.400 back for more. Oh, man. Do you recognize their 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.619 names already? Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. There's 00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:51.259 definitely some people that come back over and 00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:54.430 over again. um that i i usually recognize them 00:24:54.430 --> 00:24:56.869 by their profile picture but there's one guy 00:24:56.869 --> 00:25:00.890 uh it's a a aaron or something aaron like 79 00:25:00.890 --> 00:25:03.769 or i don't some number every video he asked me 00:25:03.769 --> 00:25:06.569 like when are you switching to cocoon just every 00:25:06.569 --> 00:25:12.329 single time no matter what it is oh man so you 00:25:12.329 --> 00:25:17.190 just leave you just make them earn it the the 00:25:17.190 --> 00:25:23.029 reaction the heart right yeah And I mean, some 00:25:23.029 --> 00:25:24.809 people, they just, they say things that aren't 00:25:24.809 --> 00:25:30.029 worth responding to. After the thousandth Timothy 00:25:30.029 --> 00:25:32.990 Chalamet comment, I don't need to hurt that anymore. 00:25:34.349 --> 00:25:41.789 Yeah. Yeah. And have you ever received sponsorship 00:25:41.789 --> 00:25:45.470 opportunities? What do you think about that? 00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.500 I do all the time, actually. I'm noticing a lot 00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:53.920 of AI companies now, like AI startups that have 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.500 big followings on GitHub. And my outlook on that 00:25:59.500 --> 00:26:02.649 is I'm never going to take a sponsorship. because 00:26:02.649 --> 00:26:04.630 whenever i see a youtuber take a sponsorship 00:26:04.630 --> 00:26:07.450 my credibility of them is just destroyed and 00:26:07.450 --> 00:26:10.250 if people know me and i say that that i'm never 00:26:10.250 --> 00:26:12.069 going to do sponsorships and then later in my 00:26:12.069 --> 00:26:14.250 career i go around to do it it's like this guy 00:26:14.250 --> 00:26:17.250 is very fake he has he has no spine he's just 00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:20.250 turning around and doing it for money but with 00:26:20.250 --> 00:26:22.130 that being said i mean there are times i would 00:26:22.130 --> 00:26:25.170 do it like if if i desperately needed the money 00:26:25.170 --> 00:26:26.990 right i'm starving on the street or something 00:26:26.990 --> 00:26:31.359 i'm gonna do it i'm gonna sell out or if um If 00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:35.759 it's a company that I really believe in, that's 00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.000 kind of an issue, right? Because YouTubers, sometimes 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.000 they say that, like, oh, I've used this service 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.200 for years, and I'm always like, okay, sure, yeah, 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.660 I don't know about that. But I would have to 00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:50.440 do a free promotion for the company before, like 00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.579 months before, so I can show people, look, I 00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:55.920 actually have used this. And there aren't many. 00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:59.730 I think there's one sock company from... my home 00:26:59.730 --> 00:27:01.849 state of Vermont called darn tough socks that 00:27:01.849 --> 00:27:04.250 they make these wool socks that are like lifetime 00:27:04.250 --> 00:27:07.789 warrantied. And I just really liked them as a 00:27:07.789 --> 00:27:09.950 company, but you know, those, those kinds of 00:27:09.950 --> 00:27:11.609 things are like, they're not software. They're 00:27:11.609 --> 00:27:13.490 not going to sponsor me. I'm, I'm in software, 00:27:13.509 --> 00:27:19.009 but yeah, I'm, I'm never going to do that, but 00:27:19.009 --> 00:27:22.170 it's just. Especially your audience, you know, 00:27:22.170 --> 00:27:25.130 they use high striped socks. So maybe you can 00:27:25.130 --> 00:27:28.250 talk to that company and tell them to create, 00:27:28.390 --> 00:27:32.019 you know, I didn't even think about that. Imagine 00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:37.059 that all of those Rust boys there could get the 00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:39.779 socks and it would be a great business, actually. 00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:44.819 That's a great idea. I did reach out to them, 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.819 I don't know, a few weeks ago, but they ghosted 00:27:47.819 --> 00:27:50.500 me, I think. Too weird of a channel for them. 00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:54.539 Yeah, they definitely will not get it, for sure. 00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.180 Yeah. The primogen could get a yoga ball sponsor. 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.380 Yeah. Yeah. I've thought about that too. Sponsorships. 00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:08.680 I don't know. A sponsor reached out about CD 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:11.500 keys, you know, like keys. I don't know. That's, 00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:13.819 I don't know what that is. And I was like, that's 00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:16.779 crap. I don't care about that. There was another 00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:20.319 one about AI, whatever. I was like, no, whatever. 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.220 There's another one that reached out as well, 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.480 but the price was too low. I don't care. Look, 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.460 if it's like a one -hour video, you know, I do 00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:33.319 a lot of tutorials. I don't care putting in a 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.259 60 -second ad in there because the viewer is 00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:40.000 still going to get the content, right? Right. 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.920 And I do it mainly to support my family. So I 00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.000 don't care too much, right? So if someone offers 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.740 me the right... amount of money i'll do it i 00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:55.579 don't care um yeah but i have seen videos that 00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:58.720 you watch a 15 minute video and it's basically 00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.880 an ad how has that happened to you like you're 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:09.819 like every video man but i don't know how do 00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:15.059 you feel about fireship he's well he's i've said 00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:17.400 it and people know now he's just a private equity 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.240 ai farm there's other channels like like no but 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.259 is it but is that a joke or is that real no it's 00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:25.940 no that's real he's been acquired by private 00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:29.980 equity it's it actually happened really yeah 00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:35.099 i thought you were joking no i wish i was i i 00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:39.160 liked fireship but he's he's done now No, I can't. 00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:42.380 I thought you were joking, to be honest. And 00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:45.160 I was like, okay, Sylvan and his stuff, whatever, 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:50.279 right? Because I did watch a video about Fireship 00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:54.940 years ago when they went into his house and you 00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:56.880 meet him and all that stuff. Did you watch that 00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:58.700 by any chance? Yeah, I've seen that. I have, 00:29:58.859 --> 00:30:03.819 yeah. So what happened then? I'm not sure. I 00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:06.579 think he was a really nice guy. People say he 00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:09.440 kind of like... after his mom died he kind of 00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:13.779 got depressed and like spiraled down a little 00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:16.700 bit and i think that's maybe why he he sold the 00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:19.700 channel i guess probably for his family just 00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:22.940 to i'd imagine a channel that size right at four 00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:25.859 million subscribers averaging millions of views 00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:29.220 of video he's got to be making huge amounts of 00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:32.279 money not to mention he's sponsored so he's he's 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.059 making an enormous amount of money on that channel 00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:36.119 the private equity company must have acquired 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:39.500 him for a multi -million dollars probably probably 00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:43.180 over 10 or 20 because he has so much influence 00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:46.880 as well so he can just retire now but thinking 00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.099 about that like what's your purpose in life after 00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:52.480 you've made that much money like you're you're 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.059 kind of done with all earning but you're you've 00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:58.339 lost your creative outlet they they took your 00:30:58.339 --> 00:31:02.319 life's work from you so i think that's um a little 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:08.420 bit sad I watch him still just out of curiosity 00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:12.519 to see how the private equity company is handling 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:16.859 it. But he's definitely not what he used to be. 00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:20.359 The 100 seconds videos were, I think, when he 00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:24.259 was at his best. But is there official information 00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:27.859 about this somewhere? Or is it a Reddit post? 00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:31.630 Is a Reddit post like the official? No, there's 00:31:31.630 --> 00:31:34.230 a news article by, I don't remember what company, 00:31:34.269 --> 00:31:36.670 but it was disclosed. The company that owns him 00:31:36.670 --> 00:31:39.309 is Electrify Video and they also own a couple 00:31:39.309 --> 00:31:42.009 of other big companies. He actually confirmed 00:31:42.009 --> 00:31:44.670 it too in a recent video. He made some joke about 00:31:44.670 --> 00:31:47.329 it. He was like, I've been acquired by private 00:31:47.329 --> 00:31:48.869 equity. You shouldn't trust anyone who's been 00:31:48.869 --> 00:31:51.109 acquired by private equity. He referred to it 00:31:51.109 --> 00:31:53.670 and everyone is roasting him in the comments 00:31:53.670 --> 00:31:57.450 for it. Oh, because you never know when he's 00:31:57.450 --> 00:32:00.579 joking as well, right? So it's like, whatever 00:32:00.579 --> 00:32:04.339 yeah so i was like no whatever it's just playing 00:32:04.339 --> 00:32:07.740 around i didn't know that to be honest but um 00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:11.240 i guess we don't know how how much like he could 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.119 be he could have just had it a part of it acquired 00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.880 right maybe they get a say in what he makes it's 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.180 not confirmed that it's full ai voice cloning 00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:21.720 but it is sometimes like a little weird his his 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.599 intonation kind of sounds like it to me but we 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.630 do know he's he has been acquired but okay so 00:32:29.630 --> 00:32:31.349 we don't know if he's still making the videos 00:32:31.349 --> 00:32:34.069 or if it's like ai generated because it's just 00:32:34.069 --> 00:32:37.490 the voice basically right yeah which which you 00:32:37.490 --> 00:32:40.849 can clone now yeah pretty indistinguishably i 00:32:40.849 --> 00:32:42.829 watched the video man and you can even clone 00:32:42.829 --> 00:32:46.109 video as well you could clone me great video 00:32:46.109 --> 00:32:49.230 you know with emotions voice everything it's 00:32:49.230 --> 00:32:54.299 like god damn yeah it's creepy yeah But I watched 00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:56.720 other videos, you know, like 15 minutes videos, 00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.559 a guy that I found out there randomly. I'm not 00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.240 going to say any names. It's not the ones that 00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:05.220 I follow. You know, it's not a tech related video, 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.500 just a random guy. I watched one of the videos 00:33:08.500 --> 00:33:11.900 and I was like, OK, this guy is cool. But as 00:33:11.900 --> 00:33:17.160 soon as he started getting sponsorships. It was 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:21.240 just an ad, you know, so. Yeah. just found a 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:24.500 way to get an intro to get into the ad and then 00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:26.579 you continue watching the ad and it's like i 00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:30.259 don't watch it anymore so i guess that's a bad 00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:34.039 completely and 100 bad bad way of doing it but 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.279 if you do your video right if you have something 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.059 that you want to share out there and you put 00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:43.099 in an ad in the middle yeah i don't think it's 00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:48.099 too bad right Yeah, I can see that. I can see 00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:50.720 your point. Especially if you want to make a 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.640 living on YouTube, it's pretty much essential. 00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.220 That's where a lot of the money is. It is what 00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:01.960 it is. It is unfortunate, but it's their way 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.359 of embedding ads. Luckily, I have other side 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:09.960 occupations. I'm a software engineer and also 00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:12.900 I'm a student, so I don't hugely need... to be 00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:14.840 making a full -time salary at the moment but 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.300 if i was like could be a totally different story 00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:23.539 yeah yeah well just wanna also thank the first 00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:27.699 ceo which is there in the comments is web23 web23 00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:31.539 .com because i have memberships as well you know 00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:35.900 so um web23 is uh the first ceo the per the first 00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:38.139 person actually that joined as a ceo so i just 00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:40.769 have to say the name In the credits, I'm just 00:34:40.769 --> 00:34:42.750 saying it right now, so I don't have to say it 00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:50.230 at the end. What's up, Web 2 .3? Now, what are 00:34:50.230 --> 00:34:52.949 your thoughts on giving smaller channels a chance? 00:34:55.610 --> 00:35:00.630 I'm quite small still, but I reached out to DistroTube, 00:35:00.789 --> 00:35:03.269 for example, and he agreed to do an interview. 00:35:03.809 --> 00:35:06.969 DJ was kind enough as well to show up in one 00:35:06.969 --> 00:35:10.449 of my videos. definitely gives you credibility 00:35:10.449 --> 00:35:14.650 i would say and helps with your channel right 00:35:14.650 --> 00:35:20.409 so yeah would you promote any small channel no 00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:25.250 matter what it's about or would you like filter 00:35:25.250 --> 00:35:28.550 it like okay so it has to be good or what are 00:35:28.550 --> 00:35:34.099 your thoughts there that's a good question I 00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:36.340 think if there is good reason to collaborate, 00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:40.079 then I totally would. There is one idea that 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:44.039 I have of kind of forming like one giant video 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.360 with like everyone in the NeoVim niche, even 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.619 people that are very small, like less than a 00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:52.079 thousand subscribers, and just have everyone 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.260 give one Vim tip. I think that would be pretty 00:35:54.260 --> 00:35:56.530 cool, but it would also be... It would be hard 00:35:56.530 --> 00:35:58.710 to coordinate that. I mean, to make sure no one 00:35:58.710 --> 00:36:00.550 overlaps and to get all the footage together 00:36:00.550 --> 00:36:03.989 to one person and who edits it, who uploads it. 00:36:04.329 --> 00:36:07.210 But if that were possible to pull off, that would 00:36:07.210 --> 00:36:10.050 be definitely an awesome thing to see. Yeah, 00:36:10.090 --> 00:36:13.550 that's a pretty good idea, actually. Hopefully, 00:36:13.809 --> 00:36:17.389 we could pull it off someday. But yeah, I do 00:36:17.389 --> 00:36:23.670 like that idea. And why did you decide to start 00:36:23.670 --> 00:36:27.980 with YouTube? Did you ever think about doing 00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:30.219 it like a faceless channel, right? Because when 00:36:30.219 --> 00:36:32.539 I started, I didn't show my face. I started showing 00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:35.320 my face like, I don't know, five months ago, 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:39.659 six months. I don't remember. But how did it 00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:43.739 happen for you? So it was probably about three 00:36:43.739 --> 00:36:46.579 months ago. It was towards the end of my sophomore 00:36:46.579 --> 00:36:50.980 year of college. And the reason it started, I 00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:53.599 guess. Well, it's a couple of things. I've wanted 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.699 to start a YouTube channel for a long time. I 00:36:55.699 --> 00:36:57.780 think a lot of people kind of do it because I 00:36:57.780 --> 00:36:59.960 mean, it's it is really fun. You just make videos 00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:03.019 about things you care about and you get paid 00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:05.420 in fame for it. So that's it is pretty awesome. 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.420 But it's also what kind of held me back. It's 00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:10.780 like everyone kind of is going to judge you no 00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:13.320 matter how much people say they aren't. I mean, 00:37:13.340 --> 00:37:15.519 especially if you're doing something like Vim 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.880 or Linux, it's like, God damn, that's that's 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:23.039 kind of. Go outside, dude. So I was I was hesitant 00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:28.280 to do that, but I just went for it. And my another 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.780 thing was I was working on a board game at the 00:37:30.780 --> 00:37:35.199 time. I still am, but I wanted to have some way 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:36.880 to promote it. And I thought I've been thinking 00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.900 about this for a while. If I have some kind of 00:37:39.900 --> 00:37:42.820 following, I can maybe generate sales for this 00:37:42.820 --> 00:37:46.139 board game. But. Yeah, the channel ended up becoming 00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:48.400 more important than the board game in the end. 00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:50.920 I still might publish it one day, but it's kind 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:55.139 of stalled out right now. And did you always 00:37:55.139 --> 00:37:59.119 think about doing the channel like showing your 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.239 face or did you ever think about doing it faceless? 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.880 Or you just wanted to show the Vimity like that 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:14.110 Vimity looks on YouTube? I didn't really give 00:38:14.110 --> 00:38:17.230 it much thought either way, to be honest. I'm 00:38:17.230 --> 00:38:20.090 not sure it even crossed my mind to do faceless. 00:38:20.489 --> 00:38:23.210 I just thought, I don't know, I wasn't really 00:38:23.210 --> 00:38:26.070 going into it with much of a plan. I just thought 00:38:26.070 --> 00:38:30.730 other people show their face in tutorials. I 00:38:30.730 --> 00:38:35.170 feel like it just makes it more approachable, 00:38:35.190 --> 00:38:37.710 more human. It sets you apart from other people. 00:38:38.210 --> 00:38:40.349 So I just thought it was kind of a necessity. 00:38:41.900 --> 00:38:45.539 That's what Prat said, or Prat, that's what he 00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:48.880 said. You know, if you're going to do something, 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:50.920 you know, open source, something, just show your 00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.099 face because it's going to help you connect with 00:38:53.099 --> 00:38:55.739 people a lot more, you know, because otherwise 00:38:55.739 --> 00:39:01.119 you just don't know who is behind all that stuff. 00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:04.420 Exactly, yeah. There's a question there in the 00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:07.800 comments, like, where does Sylvan come from? 00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:11.070 Yeah, if you want to share that. Yeah, I'm from 00:39:11.070 --> 00:39:16.230 the state of Vermont. It's like upper left corner 00:39:16.230 --> 00:39:21.449 of the US. And it's right on the Canadian border. 00:39:21.570 --> 00:39:24.449 It's right near Montreal. We're like two hours 00:39:24.449 --> 00:39:28.329 from there. And yeah, that's pretty much it. 00:39:28.409 --> 00:39:30.469 I've been all over the world. I've lived in many 00:39:30.469 --> 00:39:33.289 different places all throughout my life. But 00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:37.019 that's where I'm based most of the time. Is that 00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:39.539 where Prime is from? I don't remember where he's 00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:42.679 from. I don't know where he's from. I'd imagine 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.559 he's closer to Silicon Valley, somewhere in California. 00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:49.960 No, he moved somewhere quite calm. I don't know, 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:52.559 Vermont? No, I don't think it's Vermont. Where 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.719 is it? Maybe South Dakota? South Dakota. I have 00:39:56.719 --> 00:40:01.840 no idea. Okay. Yeah, the U .S. geography is pretty 00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:04.820 brutal, you gotta know. How do you call it? How 00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:07.559 do you call it, by the way? I just want to know 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.599 this. Do you call it America or do you call it 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.420 United States? Either one. Usually United States, 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:20.599 but yeah, I don't know. I switch. No, because 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:24.980 I'm in America as well. So, you know, because 00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:29.340 I'm right below Mexico and Guatemala. So it's 00:40:29.340 --> 00:40:32.829 a pet peeve, I guess. When I hear America, hearing 00:40:32.829 --> 00:40:36.829 America, it's like the U .S. Yeah. You know? 00:40:37.510 --> 00:40:41.389 America. Yeah, we kind of stole the term. Yeah. 00:40:41.710 --> 00:40:45.889 Yeah. Yeah. Now, have you seen all this drama 00:40:45.889 --> 00:40:49.989 with Pirate Software? Do you know who Pirate 00:40:49.989 --> 00:40:52.570 Software is? I've seen it a little bit. I've 00:40:52.570 --> 00:40:55.409 seen it in passing, like mentioned on the Primogen. 00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:58.760 I know, like, actually also the channel Coding 00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.079 Jesus, I think, was maybe where I heard about 00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.320 it. But, yeah, I don't hugely know about. I never 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.679 watched him really before, so I wasn't all that 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:17.119 invested. Okay, okay. Let's talk about something 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:23.519 a little bit more serious. Do you have any thoughts 00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:27.239 on... This is something that I took to Pratt 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:30.360 as well. You know, substance abuse. Since you're 00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:32.559 pretty young, right? You're pretty young. I remember 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:36.760 my 20s, man. It was wild. It was wild. I was 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.340 doing everything. Drinking, just, man. And doing 00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:45.219 everything I could do back then. Do you have 00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:49.360 any thoughts on substance abuse? Like drugs, 00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:55.849 alcohol, all that stuff? Yeah, sure. Well, obviously, 00:41:56.550 --> 00:41:58.590 substance abuse is bad. When it becomes abuse, 00:41:58.730 --> 00:42:02.369 it's bad. But I hear a lot of people now, especially 00:42:02.369 --> 00:42:07.949 in programming, be very against any kind of substance 00:42:07.949 --> 00:42:10.610 at all. No drinking, no anything like very clean 00:42:10.610 --> 00:42:14.829 cut, lock in, focus on improving and doing well 00:42:14.829 --> 00:42:16.590 in your career. And a lot of people, that's what 00:42:16.590 --> 00:42:19.750 they want. They just want to exercise a lot, 00:42:19.789 --> 00:42:22.599 be super healthy. be successful in every way 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:26.800 you know and i think there's that's that that 00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:30.019 is great that's a great thing to aspire to but 00:42:30.019 --> 00:42:34.360 also you shouldn't just dismiss everything like 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:36.940 just without trying it you know if you've never 00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:40.820 tried i'm not saying go out and try a very serious 00:42:40.820 --> 00:42:43.739 drug don't don't try any like opioids or anything 00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:47.179 like that crystal meth don't do that but if you 00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:50.849 uh I think trying the mild stuff that most people 00:42:50.849 --> 00:42:53.010 will do is pretty important in your development. 00:42:54.269 --> 00:42:58.949 Yeah, I do. It is a slippery slope, though. You've 00:42:58.949 --> 00:43:02.409 got to be very careful. Yeah, yeah. I think people 00:43:02.409 --> 00:43:05.670 say it based on their experience. And I don't 00:43:05.670 --> 00:43:07.889 know what young people think about it, you know, 00:43:07.889 --> 00:43:13.269 but I didn't ask about how old he is. Prime is 00:43:13.269 --> 00:43:19.380 like a year older than me, I think. I just see 00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:23.559 myself, you know, and I just see where things 00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:27.199 are going to end. And I'm just trying to make 00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.219 people avoid the same mistakes. You cannot do 00:43:29.219 --> 00:43:31.559 anything anyway, right? So people are just going 00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:34.760 to do what they are going to do. But I think 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.659 people that had bad experiences with alcohol 00:43:37.659 --> 00:43:40.500 and drugs are the ones that are saying like, 00:43:40.579 --> 00:43:44.440 no, don't do it. Because my plan was not for 00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:46.380 it to go out of control. You know, it started 00:43:46.380 --> 00:43:49.500 with the beer. You're like, what, am I talking 00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:53.599 to my dad or something? Does it feel? Yeah, but 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.780 it progressed really fast for me. And then I 00:43:56.780 --> 00:43:59.940 added more things into the mix, you know, marijuana, 00:44:00.340 --> 00:44:03.760 cocaine, crystal meth. Is my video going to be 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.719 demonetized for talking about all this stuff? 00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.039 I don't know. They won't check, whatever. Yeah, 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:14.800 but. Then you start doing it more often, more 00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.139 often, often, often, then every day, every day. 00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:21.579 I guess, like I said in the conversation with 00:44:21.579 --> 00:44:24.960 Prat, it depends on your personality. I know 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.940 myself, I'm pretty addictive. NeoVim, doesn't 00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:30.300 matter if it's NeoVim, if it's macOS, if it's 00:44:30.300 --> 00:44:35.599 something I just go all in. So if it's bad, I 00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.380 will go all in. Or if it's good, I'll go all 00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:41.860 in as well. So I guess you have to know yourself. 00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.760 If you feel that you're kind of an addictive 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:49.840 person, just, yeah, personally, you know, I'd 00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:54.599 say just careful because when you feel 10 years 00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:57.960 are going to be, you know, are going to pass 00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.599 and you're going to be in a completely bad situation. 00:45:00.980 --> 00:45:03.500 I don't know. I don't know, man. It's complicated. 00:45:03.500 --> 00:45:06.369 That is great advice. Yeah. it's and i i also 00:45:06.369 --> 00:45:08.730 i think in a lot of people who do vim and whatnot 00:45:08.730 --> 00:45:11.489 i think i do have a very addictive personality 00:45:11.489 --> 00:45:16.210 i mean kind of like a adhd type like you just 00:45:16.210 --> 00:45:19.530 keep pursuing immediate dopamine you know so 00:45:19.530 --> 00:45:21.110 it's definitely something i'm very conscious 00:45:21.110 --> 00:45:25.190 of like i i definitely don't want to get pulled 00:45:25.190 --> 00:45:28.429 into it because i can see it happening yeah yeah 00:45:28.429 --> 00:45:31.690 if it happens with vim neo vim you know computer 00:45:31.690 --> 00:45:35.809 and all that stuff uh there's a high chance it'll 00:45:35.809 --> 00:45:38.989 happen with drugs because man it's delicious 00:45:38.989 --> 00:45:41.869 you know no being honest it's delicious you do 00:45:41.869 --> 00:45:45.750 crystal you don't sleep for three days i remember 00:45:45.750 --> 00:45:49.550 man is this too much what i'm talking about right 00:45:49.550 --> 00:45:53.369 now but uh no i'd be interested to hear it because 00:45:53.369 --> 00:45:55.710 it's it's rare you can hear someone talk about 00:45:55.710 --> 00:45:58.460 uh Yeah. Doing something like that. You don't 00:45:58.460 --> 00:46:00.199 sleep for three days. You're focused. You don't 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:02.699 eat. You don't want to eat anything at all. And 00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:04.820 I remember being drinking, you know, just drinking, 00:46:04.900 --> 00:46:06.820 of course, beer. That's what I used to drink, 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:09.920 you know, just drinking. Crystal, three days 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.059 straight, no sleeping, no eating. After that, 00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.900 my skin was all shitty. I was, you know, all, 00:46:16.019 --> 00:46:21.400 no, it's not a good experience. Same thing with 00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:25.670 marijuana. I started with marijuana. You know, 00:46:25.690 --> 00:46:30.630 just a couple, you know, puffs, right? Right. 00:46:32.090 --> 00:46:37.090 It didn't sit well with me. We didn't get along 00:46:37.090 --> 00:46:40.030 fine the first time. I guess because of my personality 00:46:40.030 --> 00:46:43.869 as well. I used to get really paranoid, right? 00:46:44.150 --> 00:46:47.090 Yeah, it's a common experience. But that's just 00:46:47.090 --> 00:46:50.510 the first few times. Then you get used to it. 00:46:50.530 --> 00:46:52.550 Then you don't feel paranoid anymore, right? 00:46:52.710 --> 00:46:56.010 You just get used to it. And then you feel good. 00:46:56.429 --> 00:47:01.130 Once you pass that paranoid state, after doing 00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:05.250 it often, you get used to it. But then comes 00:47:05.250 --> 00:47:09.650 the bad part, the addictive part. Because I hear 00:47:09.650 --> 00:47:13.070 it all the time. And people say, it's not addictive. 00:47:13.389 --> 00:47:17.349 Marijuana, I can leave it whenever I want. Man, 00:47:17.369 --> 00:47:21.550 you cannot. You cannot. And I have a lot of friends 00:47:21.550 --> 00:47:24.820 that say that. It's not a drug. It's something 00:47:24.820 --> 00:47:28.099 natural. I can leave it whenever I want. But 00:47:28.099 --> 00:47:32.099 it gets really tough. It's really difficult to 00:47:32.099 --> 00:47:35.380 leave it afterwards. And the worst thing that 00:47:35.380 --> 00:47:38.679 happened to me because of it is depression. I 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:42.239 finally met depression after doing marijuana 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.699 every day for like, I don't know, a year, you 00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:49.559 know, daily, more than once a day. No, it just 00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:55.130 messed up my brain. And it was tough to go out 00:47:55.130 --> 00:47:58.730 of it. But fortunately, I did, you know, so. 00:48:00.409 --> 00:48:04.909 I guess that's that's the reason why I just advise 00:48:04.909 --> 00:48:10.090 people if they can avoid it, you know, it's a 00:48:10.090 --> 00:48:15.550 good option, but. It's totally fair, yeah. But 00:48:15.550 --> 00:48:22.079 do you consider like. Is it worth it to. to not 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.480 go down that path if you never got the chance 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:28.300 to experience it at all you know if you you're 00:48:28.300 --> 00:48:31.260 completely safe if you never try it but is that 00:48:31.260 --> 00:48:34.239 worth giving up the experience of it just the 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.820 one time because it is i mean there's pretty 00:48:36.820 --> 00:48:38.960 much nothing else like it it's like the closest 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:44.579 thing you have to magic in the world i mean oh 00:48:44.579 --> 00:48:46.679 but even if even if it's not something you love 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.579 it's like It's a very interesting experience. 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:54.239 It's one of the things in this life that's, I 00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:56.360 don't know, it's a cool thing to explore. Oh, 00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:58.760 yeah. But you mean doing it once, right? Or doing 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:02.719 it daily and ruin yourself the way that I personally 00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:05.239 did? Or you mean just doing it and testing it 00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:09.239 for the experience? Well, I mean, if you're saying 00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:11.980 like, if you're warning people against it, you 00:49:11.980 --> 00:49:15.079 know, that's, it is great. If you don't want 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.960 to go down that path. if you're protecting people, 00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:22.980 but do you think like to never try it at all, 00:49:23.019 --> 00:49:25.739 just to be as safe as possible is what people 00:49:25.739 --> 00:49:29.260 should do. Or do you think it's something that's 00:49:29.260 --> 00:49:31.159 worth trying just once? Cause that's kind of, 00:49:31.179 --> 00:49:34.460 that's my opinion. I mean, it's, it is very risky 00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:36.860 for some people. Like, I don't know, one in 20 00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:39.900 maybe we'll go down a very bad path because of 00:49:39.900 --> 00:49:42.099 it. But for the rest of the people, the experience 00:49:42.099 --> 00:49:45.440 is like, it's very interesting. It's a cool part 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:48.590 of life. Yeah. You know, thinking, for example, 00:49:48.590 --> 00:49:52.289 about my daughter, even though I love her so 00:49:52.289 --> 00:49:55.030 much and I will tell her, don't do it. And I 00:49:55.030 --> 00:49:57.869 will just talk to her about what happened to 00:49:57.869 --> 00:50:01.730 me and I will be graphical about it, but I cannot 00:50:01.730 --> 00:50:05.059 avoid it. Right. So. Right. She's pretty young 00:50:05.059 --> 00:50:07.099 right now. She's eight. I don't know what's going 00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:09.500 to happen when she grows older. It all depends 00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:11.840 as well on the friends that you have, right? 00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.519 So there's always going to be that friend. I 00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:19.519 was that friend, you know, the nasty MF -er. 00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:26.679 So my advice is... Yeah, that's... Go ahead. 00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:29.840 No, no, you go ahead. I was just going to... 00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:32.320 gonna talk about parenting like i think that's 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:35.880 i'm very glad that my parents are not very strict 00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.880 like they're i mean we're from vermont we're 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.400 very uh very forward thinking but they're the 00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:42.280 type of parents who would like smoke weed with 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:47.460 me you know like they like they're they have 00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:49.739 like standards they're not like letting me do 00:50:49.739 --> 00:50:52.019 anything i want at all but they're very much 00:50:52.019 --> 00:50:55.280 like if you're gonna do it anyway we should be 00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:57.880 there like we should we should make sure you 00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:01.380 know what you're doing And how was their experience 00:51:01.380 --> 00:51:04.420 with it? Well, I don't want to get too personal 00:51:04.420 --> 00:51:08.659 and all that stuff, but was it always in control 00:51:08.659 --> 00:51:11.539 or did it ever get out of control for your parents? 00:51:11.659 --> 00:51:15.199 Do you have an idea or no? Yeah, I think for 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:16.960 both of them, it was pretty in control, pretty 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:19.320 standard. Most people try these things when they're 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.619 in college. And I think both of them did, but 00:51:22.619 --> 00:51:25.760 didn't go crazy beyond that. That's the thing. 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.940 If that happens to you, that's awesome. You're 00:51:29.940 --> 00:51:33.659 one of the few people that is able to just try 00:51:33.659 --> 00:51:37.219 it and move on. And that's great. Didn't happen 00:51:37.219 --> 00:51:40.119 to me, unfortunately. And not everyone is like 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:44.119 me, you know. But like I said, I go all in. Once 00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:47.480 I tried alcohol, man, I spent drinking for like 00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.760 10 years straight, you know. And I didn't stop 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:57.000 in drugs and all that. So, difficult advice. 00:51:57.869 --> 00:52:01.530 In my case, for example, you know, with my daughter, 00:52:01.670 --> 00:52:04.469 I'll be like, you have never seen me doing that. 00:52:04.550 --> 00:52:08.690 What I drink nowadays is 0 % beers, you know, 00:52:08.710 --> 00:52:12.789 like 0 % alcohol beers. Right. Or not beers, 00:52:12.969 --> 00:52:16.110 you know, it's like a soda, basically. So my 00:52:16.110 --> 00:52:20.929 advice with her will be just avoid it because 00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:23.789 it's not going to lead to anything good. But 00:52:23.789 --> 00:52:25.789 if she does it, what am I going to do? You know, 00:52:25.809 --> 00:52:29.699 nothing. I cannot do anything. Have you watched 00:52:29.699 --> 00:52:34.500 this movie, Beautiful Boy, by Timothee Chalamet? 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:38.059 By the way, have you watched it? Let me show 00:52:38.059 --> 00:52:46.840 it to you. I haven't, no. No? Hold on. Let's 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:52.219 see this one. And it's a wonderful movie. And 00:52:52.219 --> 00:52:54.519 it's you right there, man. How come you haven't 00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.699 watched it? I just don't watch a ton of stuff, 00:52:58.780 --> 00:53:01.659 to be honest. No. I definitely should. I should 00:53:01.659 --> 00:53:04.099 watch more Timothee Chalamet stuff now just so 00:53:04.099 --> 00:53:10.639 I can hone my look. No, at least this movie because 00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:17.039 it, man, it's a good movie because you have both 00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:20.360 of the perspectives, right? I used to be this 00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:22.780 kid. Well, not him because I don't look like 00:53:22.780 --> 00:53:26.289 him at all, you know, but. I was on his side, 00:53:26.429 --> 00:53:32.110 you know, and now I'm more on that side. So it's 00:53:32.110 --> 00:53:37.570 a wonderful movie. It just talks about what I've 00:53:37.570 --> 00:53:39.889 been talking about right now. You know, his personality, 00:53:40.190 --> 00:53:44.570 addictive. And he just went all in drugs and 00:53:44.570 --> 00:53:47.929 it was tough for them, the whole situation. So, 00:53:47.929 --> 00:53:52.510 I don't know. It's a good movie. I did really 00:53:52.510 --> 00:53:57.050 enjoy it, actually. yeah that's that is really 00:53:57.050 --> 00:54:01.670 cool to to see both sides of it yeah yeah yeah 00:54:01.670 --> 00:54:04.909 now i'll definitely have to watch that yeah let 00:54:04.909 --> 00:54:07.570 me know let me know how it goes do you have any 00:54:07.570 --> 00:54:12.289 thoughts on um on a supreme being as well like 00:54:12.289 --> 00:54:17.210 god you have any thoughts there not hugely to 00:54:17.210 --> 00:54:21.190 be honest so i was raised very um not atheist 00:54:21.190 --> 00:54:25.800 really i guess more agnostic just we didn't We 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.159 just weren't super religious at all. And a lot 00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:32.059 of people around me, especially up in Vermont, 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:34.920 just if they are religious, it's not something 00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:38.219 that's really talked about. But like now that 00:54:38.219 --> 00:54:41.159 I've left Vermont and I've traveled a lot, there 00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:45.949 are many, many more religious people. I'm not 00:54:45.949 --> 00:54:49.449 someone, like I know certain people who are atheists 00:54:49.449 --> 00:54:52.449 or very against religion. They think if you're 00:54:52.449 --> 00:54:55.269 Catholic, whatever, you're brainwashed. You're 00:54:55.269 --> 00:54:57.849 all a victim of your upbringing, your surroundings. 00:54:57.889 --> 00:54:59.849 You just believe that because that's what your 00:54:59.849 --> 00:55:04.289 parents told you. I'm not someone who will put 00:55:04.289 --> 00:55:07.489 that down because I'm not qualified to say. We 00:55:07.489 --> 00:55:11.349 don't know, man. So I personally, it's not a 00:55:11.349 --> 00:55:13.289 huge part of my life, but I'm never going to. 00:55:13.769 --> 00:55:19.130 trash on someone else's beliefs at all um yeah 00:55:19.130 --> 00:55:21.789 that's that's pretty much my take on it and i 00:55:21.789 --> 00:55:26.130 think a lot of people have criticisms of religion 00:55:26.130 --> 00:55:28.869 like it's been used for a lot of bad things in 00:55:28.869 --> 00:55:30.969 the past i mean if you look at the the history 00:55:30.969 --> 00:55:33.429 of the catholic church they've done a lot of 00:55:33.429 --> 00:55:35.690 stuff and other churches other religions as well 00:55:35.690 --> 00:55:40.489 have been used to justify a lot of very bad events 00:55:40.489 --> 00:55:43.300 throughout history but also on the other hand 00:55:43.300 --> 00:55:45.760 i mean there's a lot of good to the church like 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:50.480 to the community element of it to just the value 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:54.440 system the the morals and ethics but yeah it's 00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:57.119 it's just not a world that i was raised in so 00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:59.820 i'm not super inclined to go into it i mean and 00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:01.920 i can totally get people being in it though and 00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:05.320 no hate to them no hate to anyone that's basically 00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:09.420 my take on it interesting yeah i'm kind of in 00:56:09.420 --> 00:56:12.230 the same boat you know i used to be an agnostic 00:56:12.230 --> 00:56:15.650 as well you know and uh somewhat of an atheist 00:56:15.650 --> 00:56:19.829 i would say more agnostic you know i just i don't 00:56:19.829 --> 00:56:23.409 know yeah right but um a lot of things happened 00:56:23.409 --> 00:56:27.469 and uh i was raised as a catholic actually you 00:56:27.469 --> 00:56:30.489 know my parents are catholics and uh just didn't 00:56:30.489 --> 00:56:36.230 click with me I found India religion and I don't 00:56:36.230 --> 00:56:39.670 know. That's what helped me go out of drugs and 00:56:39.670 --> 00:56:42.130 all that stuff. You know, it's weird. Hinduism? 00:56:42.250 --> 00:56:47.690 Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. Yeah. But I don't care 00:56:47.690 --> 00:56:50.110 too much either. You know, as long as it makes 00:56:50.110 --> 00:56:52.610 everyone better people, like you said, you know, 00:56:52.610 --> 00:56:57.219 it brings what's used. Or the way that it originally 00:56:57.219 --> 00:57:00.739 started, it was really bad, you know? The origins 00:57:00.739 --> 00:57:04.059 are, you know, were not the best, you know? It 00:57:04.059 --> 00:57:07.739 was not used the right way back then. Quite the 00:57:07.739 --> 00:57:11.519 opposite, right? But nowadays, as long as it 00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:14.940 makes people better people, it's fine, you know? 00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:19.860 Yeah, I also kind of... I have a problem with 00:57:19.860 --> 00:57:22.000 people that critique it a lot because there are 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.400 very, very smart people that are... religious 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:26.480 and smart people that are atheists too i mean 00:57:26.480 --> 00:57:28.880 i've met people that are like incredibly smart 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:31.019 and very religious and they've thought about 00:57:31.019 --> 00:57:33.460 their beliefs a lot it's not something that they've 00:57:33.460 --> 00:57:35.420 been just like tricked into people that are fully 00:57:35.420 --> 00:57:38.119 aware of i was raised like this you know it's 00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:39.840 it's likely that because i'm in this environment 00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:41.940 i'll end up religious and people on the other 00:57:41.940 --> 00:57:44.500 side too kind of raised as atheists it's people 00:57:44.500 --> 00:57:48.059 that are just that claim that they know outright 00:57:48.059 --> 00:57:51.099 they de facto have the answer that's kind of 00:57:51.099 --> 00:57:53.579 suspicious i feel like Knowing that you don't 00:57:53.579 --> 00:57:57.400 know is the best move. And I think also imposing 00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:01.599 it into other people. That's where the problem 00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:05.099 comes in as well. That's when a lot of fight 00:58:05.099 --> 00:58:09.760 happen and a lot of disagreements. Because I'm 00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:12.800 not going to impose my beliefs on anyone, right? 00:58:12.940 --> 00:58:16.340 I just believe in what I believe, what helped 00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:20.940 me. And I don't care what other people... believes 00:58:20.940 --> 00:58:24.039 in you know i respect everyone so i think that's 00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:28.119 you know a big part as well right uh imposition 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.179 trying to you know your truth is the truth no 00:58:32.179 --> 00:58:35.820 man we just don't know just believe in what you 00:58:35.820 --> 00:58:37.619 want to believe in that's it leave everyone else 00:58:37.619 --> 00:58:43.659 alone right yeah what about zoomers do you know 00:58:43.659 --> 00:58:46.500 what the trend is right now are you a zoomer 00:58:46.500 --> 00:58:51.199 what's a zoomer by the way zoomer Gen Z? Yep. 00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:55.440 Yeah, I guess I am. I guess I fit into that bracket. 00:58:55.659 --> 00:58:59.280 I mean, it's interesting. There are a lot of 00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:01.940 different kinds of people in every generation, 00:59:02.059 --> 00:59:05.500 but I think I've heard it said that we, Generation 00:59:05.500 --> 00:59:09.079 Z, is like the most similar to the boomer generation 00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:15.159 in terms of our work ethic and also the millennials 00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:18.920 are kind of known for being he's like very offended 00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:22.480 at things they don't want to work and both boomers 00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:25.179 and gen z are like we're hard working we're ambitious 00:59:25.179 --> 00:59:28.719 and we're also we're not as afraid of offending 00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:32.440 people like we're kind of returning more to offensive 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:35.760 humor and stuff like that that's it seems like 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:39.179 a general pattern i've come across oh and amongst 00:59:39.179 --> 00:59:42.300 your friends what's the trend in religion because 00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:46.380 In my generation, atheists was, you know, a big 00:59:46.380 --> 00:59:50.860 trend. You know, what do you, like your friends, 00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:54.900 you know, a small demographics, like what do 00:59:54.900 --> 00:59:57.360 you see that predominates more their religion, 00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:03.539 people being atheists or what? It's hard to say. 01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:05.820 I think a lot of, a lot of my friends, it's just, 01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:09.079 I don't talk about it with, and most of them 01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:11.320 are either like atheists or Catholic, I think. 01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:15.559 is the majority and yeah it's just not something 01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:17.880 we really discuss it's not all that important 01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:24.980 too yeah yeah makes sense makes sense okay yeah 01:00:24.980 --> 01:00:30.920 and um how did your parents or how do they take 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:34.840 this youtube thing going on how do they see it 01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:38.519 do they understand it do they share it they do 01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:40.559 they they watch it everyone in my family even 01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.769 my grandmother grandfather watch it and i think 01:00:43.769 --> 01:00:46.869 i mean some things they can understand more than 01:00:46.869 --> 01:00:48.969 others like if i'm not talking about vim but 01:00:48.969 --> 01:00:51.630 for a lot of it is probably just complete gibberish 01:00:51.630 --> 01:00:54.030 to them but they're they're very supportive and 01:00:54.030 --> 01:00:58.849 uh yeah they tune in yeah that's good that they 01:00:58.849 --> 01:01:07.949 support you and uh i want to talk about um something 01:01:07.949 --> 01:01:11.480 that i've been noticing lately you know I'm not 01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:15.719 sure if it's just me or I feel that way. I've 01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:19.860 noticed that a lot of people nowadays call themselves 01:01:19.860 --> 01:01:29.260 autists or people with ADHD with a lot of those 01:01:29.260 --> 01:01:40.480 disorders. I don't know what they are. They feel 01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:44.300 like proud of, you know, of that, you know, having 01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:49.320 ADHD and all that stuff. Right. Is it really, 01:01:49.380 --> 01:01:54.760 do you think it's really ADHD and autism or people 01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:58.099 is just overstimulated too much social media? 01:01:58.179 --> 01:02:01.420 You cannot concentrate after all that your brain 01:02:01.420 --> 01:02:04.840 damages, right? It takes a hit for sure. And 01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:08.719 you need to take. tests to be diagnosed with 01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:11.400 that stuff you know it's not just as simple as 01:02:11.400 --> 01:02:14.260 if you believe that you're autistic you are no 01:02:14.260 --> 01:02:16.559 you have to go through a lot of tests then you 01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:20.000 have to be diagnosed properly have you seen that 01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:23.659 increasing do you have any thoughts on that yeah 01:02:23.659 --> 01:02:25.599 i have seen that increasing i've seen a lot of 01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:28.750 people like with adhd or claiming to have adhd 01:02:28.750 --> 01:02:32.090 and i i actually do i'm diagnosed with adhd but 01:02:32.090 --> 01:02:34.829 i don't i don't know if i have it like i never 01:02:34.829 --> 01:02:37.070 really did any rigorous test i was just like 01:02:37.070 --> 01:02:40.329 i can't really focus they give me adderall um 01:02:40.329 --> 01:02:42.809 but i do i have a lot of thoughts about that 01:02:42.809 --> 01:02:44.590 i have a video about that actually coming out 01:02:44.590 --> 01:02:50.210 soon but basically i mean i think it's very like 01:02:50.210 --> 01:02:52.449 you were saying it's over diagnosed like a lot 01:02:52.449 --> 01:02:54.469 of people that don't have those things claim 01:02:54.469 --> 01:03:00.380 to claim to i i think more so uh adhd than autism 01:03:00.380 --> 01:03:02.760 like there's no one like claiming to have autism 01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:04.900 doesn't really get you anything but claiming 01:03:04.900 --> 01:03:08.519 to adhd does i think a lot of people that claim 01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:10.659 to have it don't and like you were saying it's 01:03:10.659 --> 01:03:13.840 just our short form content the attention economy 01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:17.099 is just terrible and people are just lazy they 01:03:17.099 --> 01:03:19.900 don't have adhd but there are also a lot of people 01:03:19.900 --> 01:03:24.239 that did have adhd like and they never needed 01:03:24.909 --> 01:03:28.710 uh like stimulant medication before now because 01:03:28.710 --> 01:03:32.489 growing up before computers and especially short 01:03:32.489 --> 01:03:35.480 form i guess is the big one like You don't pay 01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:37.579 attention in class, right? Or whatever, like 01:03:37.579 --> 01:03:40.199 you're zoning out. No big deal. Everyone does 01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:43.659 that. That's normal. But now that we have like 01:03:43.659 --> 01:03:46.079 engineered attention grabbing stuff and you have 01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:48.900 ADHD, that can just ruin your life. You know, 01:03:48.940 --> 01:03:51.460 if you're someone who's impulsive and just follows 01:03:51.460 --> 01:03:53.579 something, the amount of time you can waste. 01:03:53.659 --> 01:03:57.000 And that was kind of the case for me. I mean, 01:03:57.019 --> 01:04:00.510 I was always curious about Adderall, right? Someone 01:04:00.510 --> 01:04:02.909 who's very into getting work done, which we all 01:04:02.909 --> 01:04:06.449 are. We're all workflow people. And Adderall 01:04:06.449 --> 01:04:08.449 is just something that's like, it's the work 01:04:08.449 --> 01:04:12.530 drug, right? I've got to try this. But what is 01:04:12.530 --> 01:04:17.630 it? Is it amphetamine? Yeah, dextroamphetamine 01:04:17.630 --> 01:04:22.550 is Adderall. There's other brands like Vyvanse, 01:04:22.570 --> 01:04:28.840 Ritalin. So it's sort of, I'm not sure, but is 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:32.400 it somewhat like crystal, but in small doses? 01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:38.119 Is it related? It is related to crystal meth, 01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:43.719 but it's a very benign form of it. And another 01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:46.320 reason for that is if you're smoking something, 01:04:46.500 --> 01:04:49.300 you ingest all the amphetamines super quickly, 01:04:49.420 --> 01:04:52.059 which gives you a high. But if you're digesting 01:04:52.059 --> 01:04:56.179 a pill, It's much, much slower, so you can't 01:04:56.179 --> 01:04:58.980 get high from it. Even if you take 100 milligrams 01:04:58.980 --> 01:05:01.579 of Adderall or a huge amount, it doesn't really 01:05:01.579 --> 01:05:05.079 make you high in the same way. I know some people 01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:09.059 crush and snort it. It's a very bad thing to 01:05:09.059 --> 01:05:11.239 do. That probably would make you high, but taking 01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:13.780 it normally, there's no high. There's no euphoria. 01:05:13.860 --> 01:05:18.300 There's nothing like that from it. It helps you 01:05:18.300 --> 01:05:25.460 focus and do stuff. Well, yeah, it is kind of 01:05:25.460 --> 01:05:28.840 weird. It doesn't just make me immediately able 01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:32.500 to focus. I would say what it helps with is I 01:05:32.500 --> 01:05:34.519 always feel like I have a bunch of different 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:37.500 voices in my head. I'm pulling me different directions. 01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:39.500 And like you were saying, watching that video 01:05:39.500 --> 01:05:42.340 earlier, and you see the editing, I start immediately 01:05:42.340 --> 01:05:43.980 thinking of something else. Like, oh, how did 01:05:43.980 --> 01:05:46.019 they pull off this editing? And I find in the 01:05:46.019 --> 01:05:48.159 middle of something, I'm just... Thinking about 01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:50.760 something totally else and I do it all the time. 01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:52.559 Sometimes it's good because it helps me come 01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:54.739 up with ideas but sometimes I'm trying to do 01:05:54.739 --> 01:05:57.340 homework and I just I can't do it like no matter 01:05:57.340 --> 01:06:00.780 how much I try my mind is just wandering like 01:06:00.780 --> 01:06:05.119 very quickly going to the next thing and Yeah, 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:07.619 it's it's also if there's constantly notifications 01:06:07.619 --> 01:06:10.800 and stuff and like I mean now with YouTube like 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.840 the internet is more compelling to be on than 01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:18.650 ever it's it's like tough to resist. So I think 01:06:18.650 --> 01:06:23.130 amphetamine is kind of like a good counter to 01:06:23.130 --> 01:06:25.170 all this attention engineering. And ideally, 01:06:25.170 --> 01:06:28.710 we wouldn't need it or we evolved to have like 01:06:28.710 --> 01:06:32.329 the ADHD traits. They serve a biological advantage, 01:06:32.530 --> 01:06:35.769 right, of early cavemen. We were the people who 01:06:35.769 --> 01:06:38.510 would like go eat new mushrooms and berries and 01:06:38.510 --> 01:06:40.960 just like... Hopefully we didn't die, but we 01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:43.079 were there for the good of humanity to explore 01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:46.000 new things and just take risks. But now it's 01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:50.320 like we haven't adapted well to the modern world. 01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:54.000 At least that's what I've heard the explanation 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:57.139 for it being. For a long time, I was also skeptical 01:06:57.139 --> 01:06:59.260 of Adderall, right? Because it's weird. It's 01:06:59.260 --> 01:07:03.760 like big pharma giving you a brain altering substance. 01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:07.280 it's just it doesn't it doesn't feel right it 01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:09.820 feels it feels kind of druggy and weird and like 01:07:09.820 --> 01:07:12.780 yeah there's something that just feels wrong 01:07:12.780 --> 01:07:14.400 about it and there's a lot of stigma around it 01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:16.699 and a lot of people that don't fully agree with 01:07:16.699 --> 01:07:21.130 the science but i when when i like started researching 01:07:21.130 --> 01:07:24.190 this and when I got my diagnosis I did I did 01:07:24.190 --> 01:07:26.070 a bunch of research towards like all the studies 01:07:26.070 --> 01:07:27.849 that have been done and it's it turns out it's 01:07:27.849 --> 01:07:30.409 it's been going on a long time they've tried 01:07:30.409 --> 01:07:33.630 many different treatments towards ADHD and it 01:07:33.630 --> 01:07:37.650 is it's the most effective thing by far and oh 01:07:37.650 --> 01:07:41.269 another thing is people say um a lot of drug 01:07:41.269 --> 01:07:44.590 addicts uh have ADHD they have like poor impulse 01:07:44.590 --> 01:07:47.880 control they go down to like dark roads you know 01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:51.320 and having adhd and not taking adderall is very 01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:54.460 risky for you they people with it end up dying 01:07:54.460 --> 01:07:57.079 in car crashes or from drug overdoses or just 01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:01.519 bad situations like 20 more frequently than normal 01:08:01.519 --> 01:08:05.519 people it's actually pretty safe for you to it's 01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:08.179 almost like it's it's leveling the playing field 01:08:08.179 --> 01:08:11.300 it's making you 20 more likely to survive but 01:08:11.300 --> 01:08:14.519 i don't know that's that's just what i've read 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:17.979 there's Totally different perspectives on it, 01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:21.460 too. Yeah. Quite an interesting take, actually, 01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:25.380 because could it be that we're overstimulated? 01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.079 I remember before, because, you know, I was around 01:08:28.079 --> 01:08:30.560 before social media. You know, my phone used 01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.180 to be a dumb phone, you know, back in the day. 01:08:33.180 --> 01:08:36.560 No internet, just the phone. Only the game. What 01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.180 is it? Snake was just a small game. That was 01:08:39.180 --> 01:08:42.859 it. You know, nothing else. So SMS messages, 01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:45.699 you know. That's all you would get in the past. 01:08:45.819 --> 01:08:49.619 So you were not slave. The computer, maybe a 01:08:49.619 --> 01:08:53.779 little bit, but not too much. But now it happened 01:08:53.779 --> 01:08:57.880 to me. It also affected me. I used to do things 01:08:57.880 --> 01:09:01.119 in the past, you know. I used to focus and get 01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:05.640 things done. Nowadays, man, it is extremely difficult. 01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:10.319 It sure is, yeah. Yeah. I had social media. I 01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:15.000 had Twitter. Instagram, TikTok. I had all of 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:17.539 them just to share my videos, you know. But then 01:09:17.539 --> 01:09:21.260 I started opening them and scrolling one, then 01:09:21.260 --> 01:09:24.000 to the next one, Twitter, right? Then to the 01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:26.560 next one, then to the next one. And the cycle 01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:30.340 would start over. I would spend four hours like 01:09:30.340 --> 01:09:33.600 that. So I just uninstalled all of them. And 01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:37.100 I just said, no, I'm not doing that. So now I 01:09:37.100 --> 01:09:40.399 do it with Twitter from time to time and YouTube. 01:09:41.390 --> 01:09:45.109 I need to find something. I just need to, I always 01:09:45.109 --> 01:09:49.689 end up doing something. But I don't know. It's, 01:09:49.689 --> 01:09:53.649 it's tough. I do think that we are overstimulated. 01:09:53.649 --> 01:09:57.189 And like you said, we have not adapted well to 01:09:57.189 --> 01:10:00.050 all of this technology and all that stuff. So. 01:10:00.829 --> 01:10:06.289 Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I totally agree. I've 01:10:06.289 --> 01:10:08.430 done the same thing with all social media. But 01:10:08.430 --> 01:10:11.189 now that being a content creator is also kind 01:10:11.189 --> 01:10:13.670 of its own endless pull of attention, right? 01:10:13.750 --> 01:10:17.369 Like, there's so many notifications from this. 01:10:17.470 --> 01:10:19.510 It's like a constant thing you're kind of monitoring. 01:10:19.670 --> 01:10:23.369 Yeah. So it's like I escaped it, but I went right 01:10:23.369 --> 01:10:29.090 back to it. Yeah. I said the YouTube app, the 01:10:29.090 --> 01:10:32.369 YouTube Studio app, short format is killing our 01:10:32.369 --> 01:10:35.329 attention span. Yeah, definitely. Definitely, 01:10:35.489 --> 01:10:40.210 man, because I create one hour tutorials, you 01:10:40.210 --> 01:10:42.949 know, like BIM tutorials with all the stuff I 01:10:42.949 --> 01:10:44.770 know. It's not the best tutorials out there, 01:10:44.789 --> 01:10:47.329 but people don't watch them, right? They're used 01:10:47.329 --> 01:10:49.470 to shorts. They're going to watch three minutes. 01:10:49.550 --> 01:10:52.729 You know, that's like the average view time, 01:10:52.930 --> 01:10:55.970 three, five, seven minutes of a one hour long 01:10:55.970 --> 01:11:02.050 video. So, yeah, I see that too. It's just, yeah, 01:11:02.189 --> 01:11:06.710 it's tough. How do you do with the YouTube Studio 01:11:06.710 --> 01:11:09.529 app? Because I uninstalled it, but I installed 01:11:09.529 --> 01:11:14.109 it again. Yeah, me too. Yeah, that's a great 01:11:14.109 --> 01:11:16.670 question. I have to uninstall it, like you said, 01:11:16.770 --> 01:11:20.189 just because it's such a distraction. But sometimes 01:11:20.189 --> 01:11:23.810 I use it to upload shorts. I edit shorts on my 01:11:23.810 --> 01:11:25.890 phone usually. I was doing it on desktop, but 01:11:25.890 --> 01:11:29.050 it's just a lot more convenient for me. So what 01:11:29.050 --> 01:11:31.560 I do is I like... Whenever I want to upload a 01:11:31.560 --> 01:11:33.979 short, I download the YouTube Studio app, sign 01:11:33.979 --> 01:11:36.039 in, upload it, and then delete the app again, 01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:39.840 which is, yeah, it's kind of ridiculous jumping 01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:43.979 through hoops. Yeah, I limited the app because 01:11:43.979 --> 01:11:46.539 I have an iPhone. You can do it on any phone, 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:51.079 right? But I limited the app to, in the screen 01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:53.640 time app on the phone itself, to 15 minutes a 01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:57.399 day, right? So if I open it for 15 minutes, it's 01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:01.460 just going to... Show me a message that I cannot 01:12:01.460 --> 01:12:03.899 open it. I can open it. You can override it easily. 01:12:04.100 --> 01:12:07.000 But I set it to 15 minutes. I've been trying 01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:10.539 to stick to it. I don't respect that at times, 01:12:10.579 --> 01:12:13.340 but it has helped because otherwise I was just 01:12:13.340 --> 01:12:15.359 watching. It doesn't make a difference, right? 01:12:15.460 --> 01:12:19.920 It's just a waste of time, actually. Yeah, exactly. 01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:25.359 But it's hard to resist. It is. Yeah. And why 01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:29.100 so serious in the comments says. He watches videos 01:12:29.100 --> 01:12:32.520 on double speed, man. That is something that 01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:34.859 I do as well. Because you want to be productive, 01:12:35.300 --> 01:12:40.380 right? I do that too. 1 .5 or 2? What's the speed? 01:12:40.979 --> 01:12:43.979 It depends. It depends on the person. Usually, 01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:47.079 yeah, I don't know. Some people I have to go 01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:51.239 full two times speed, but sometimes 1 .25. That's 01:12:51.239 --> 01:12:54.260 why I try to talk quite fast in my videos and 01:12:54.260 --> 01:12:56.060 just move really fast. That way people hopefully 01:12:56.060 --> 01:12:59.630 don't do that. Yeah, I do it as well all the 01:12:59.630 --> 01:13:02.670 time. 1 .5 is usually where I leave them at. 01:13:02.729 --> 01:13:05.609 Depends on the person as well. Some people, too, 01:13:05.789 --> 01:13:09.289 double speed, you know, but usually 1 .5 is... 01:13:09.289 --> 01:13:12.810 I cannot watch Prime videos on 1 .5. It's just 01:13:12.810 --> 01:13:15.369 too fast. Yours, I watch them at regular speed 01:13:15.369 --> 01:13:20.909 as well, but usually 1 .5. That's funny. It's 01:13:20.909 --> 01:13:23.670 also when I'm editing, I always edit in times 01:13:23.670 --> 01:13:26.270 two speed. Oh, yeah. I hate that. I can't stand 01:13:26.270 --> 01:13:28.890 to hear myself in one time. It takes so long. 01:13:29.149 --> 01:13:31.310 Yeah. What are you used to edit, by the way? 01:13:31.369 --> 01:13:36.010 DaVinci or what? DaVinci, yeah. Man. And it sounds 01:13:36.010 --> 01:13:38.470 really awful when you put it in double the speed, 01:13:38.609 --> 01:13:40.369 right? I don't know how to do it because I don't 01:13:40.369 --> 01:13:42.130 know how to edit video, man. But I put it in 01:13:42.130 --> 01:13:44.689 double speed and it sounds really ugly. And I 01:13:44.689 --> 01:13:47.350 just... continue all the way through the video 01:13:47.350 --> 01:13:49.989 and if it's a two hour long video man it takes 01:13:49.989 --> 01:13:57.869 so long it's yeah yeah it's it is tough but i 01:13:57.869 --> 01:13:59.909 have pretty bad sound quality anyway it doesn't 01:13:59.909 --> 01:14:10.590 bother me okay now going back to um to your personal 01:14:10.590 --> 01:14:14.369 stuff you mentioned school right now right so 01:14:14.829 --> 01:14:16.550 What is it that you're studying, by the way? 01:14:17.069 --> 01:14:20.989 Something related to math, right? Yes, yeah, 01:14:21.090 --> 01:14:26.069 I'm a pure math major, but I also, I'm kind of 01:14:26.069 --> 01:14:29.149 thinking of going into like philosophy and more 01:14:29.149 --> 01:14:33.050 liberal arts than the computer science, just 01:14:33.050 --> 01:14:35.430 because I have the computer science skills already. 01:14:35.550 --> 01:14:38.449 And in the past taking classes, I've just, I've 01:14:38.449 --> 01:14:40.489 known everything already. It's not useful for 01:14:40.489 --> 01:14:45.630 me. And what do you do in as a math major? Like 01:14:45.630 --> 01:14:50.569 what is the career about? I have no idea. I mean, 01:14:50.590 --> 01:14:53.029 usually it's like a companion career. A lot of 01:14:53.029 --> 01:14:55.930 people go into programming, but there are other 01:14:55.930 --> 01:14:58.750 things you can do with it. Like obviously some 01:14:58.750 --> 01:15:01.189 people become stats. Some people do what's called 01:15:01.189 --> 01:15:05.569 operations research, which is like figuring out 01:15:05.569 --> 01:15:09.210 how to make a company operate. more efficiently. 01:15:09.430 --> 01:15:12.829 The example I've heard is the plastic water bottles, 01:15:12.890 --> 01:15:15.069 they have that like little cap on the end and 01:15:15.069 --> 01:15:18.069 someone figured out making that like 15 % smaller 01:15:18.069 --> 01:15:22.710 saves them a hundred million dollars every year 01:15:22.710 --> 01:15:24.810 or whatever. That's like someone doing operations 01:15:24.810 --> 01:15:27.430 research. So it's like, that's one way to apply 01:15:27.430 --> 01:15:29.430 it. I mean, you could also become a professor 01:15:29.430 --> 01:15:33.050 of math. You could become a researcher in a theoretical 01:15:33.050 --> 01:15:36.560 area. And I don't know, that could connect back 01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:38.720 to anything, really. There's lots of places where 01:15:38.720 --> 01:15:41.039 math is applied throughout computer science and 01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:45.180 stuff. Especially now with transformers, people 01:15:45.180 --> 01:15:48.079 are really looking for the more theoretical. 01:15:48.819 --> 01:15:52.260 Anyone can kind of set up a whatever retrieval 01:15:52.260 --> 01:15:54.699 augmented generation pipeline or any of that 01:15:54.699 --> 01:15:57.060 stuff with Python. But the people doing the theoretical 01:15:57.060 --> 01:16:00.960 research, that's where the big companies really 01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:08.569 want you. is your career strictly math or is 01:16:08.569 --> 01:16:12.609 it also programming related like do you get programming 01:16:12.609 --> 01:16:14.850 classes and all that stuff or it's just math 01:16:14.850 --> 01:16:19.949 or is it computer science oriented it's it's 01:16:19.949 --> 01:16:23.050 pure math oriented but you can also take like 01:16:23.050 --> 01:16:25.069 other classes outside of it if you want to out 01:16:25.069 --> 01:16:28.890 of interest so i i just tried that i took like 01:16:28.890 --> 01:16:32.670 a low level like operating systems course and 01:16:32.670 --> 01:16:36.250 it It wasn't stuff that was super helpful to 01:16:36.250 --> 01:16:39.090 me. And I already have the programming skill 01:16:39.090 --> 01:16:42.210 set, you know, so I can always go into that if 01:16:42.210 --> 01:16:46.550 I need to. And where or when did you learn about 01:16:46.550 --> 01:16:50.149 programming? Did you do it by yourself? I did, 01:16:50.229 --> 01:16:54.750 yeah. I remember I wanted to get into it because 01:16:54.750 --> 01:16:57.329 I didn't understand the question, like, where 01:16:57.329 --> 01:17:00.670 do you write code? Like, what does it go into 01:17:00.670 --> 01:17:04.109 when you write code, you know? i just really 01:17:04.109 --> 01:17:05.750 wanted to know the answer to that i asked my 01:17:05.750 --> 01:17:07.850 parents they obviously didn't know because they're 01:17:07.850 --> 01:17:11.090 uh they're artists and professors they it's not 01:17:11.090 --> 01:17:15.430 their area so i decided like i'm just gonna buy 01:17:15.430 --> 01:17:18.189 a computer and figure that out so i got like 01:17:18.189 --> 01:17:22.529 uh the macbook in 2019 i think was the the i5 01:17:22.529 --> 01:17:25.189 macbook air pretty terrible computer now but 01:17:25.189 --> 01:17:28.689 yeah i i saved up all summer to buy that and 01:17:28.689 --> 01:17:33.090 then i Started watching videos on Java, like 01:17:33.090 --> 01:17:35.750 early programming, I think. There's a channel, 01:17:35.829 --> 01:17:41.350 Alex Lee, he did Java tutorials. And then I bought, 01:17:41.390 --> 01:17:44.090 like, you know the platform Udemy? Yep, I used 01:17:44.090 --> 01:17:47.949 it a lot in the past, yep. Yeah, so I followed 01:17:47.949 --> 01:17:51.260 a Java course through that. And it took me a 01:17:51.260 --> 01:17:53.840 long time to learn everything I know today, but 01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:57.159 it was basically all on my own. And yeah, I just 01:17:57.159 --> 01:17:59.100 went up through like Python and then I did web 01:17:59.100 --> 01:18:01.939 development and then I did some lower level stuff. 01:18:02.739 --> 01:18:06.180 And yeah, that's the progression pretty much. 01:18:06.420 --> 01:18:09.319 I remember my Udemy days. I did it a lot and 01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:12.100 it's a good platform. Well, there's good and 01:18:12.100 --> 01:18:14.199 bad courses, right? There's courses that are 01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:16.779 really bad, but there's some other ones, man, 01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:20.960 extremely. good courses right so yeah it all 01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:24.000 depends on the instructor but i used udemy a 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:28.619 lot in the past you know for all of the um vernettis 01:18:28.619 --> 01:18:32.579 related stuff linux networking um you know i 01:18:32.579 --> 01:18:36.039 have a lot of background in networking that's 01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:39.739 what i started with and i use udemy a lot and 01:18:39.739 --> 01:18:48.800 yeah and um yeah Why are you on Mac still? I 01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:50.880 guess everyone in your comments, you hear that 01:18:50.880 --> 01:18:53.279 a lot, like you should move to Linux, especially 01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:56.380 in our niche, you know, because it's NeoBIM related. 01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.140 You have the Mac looks, by the way. You look 01:18:59.140 --> 01:19:01.579 like a macOS guy, if we're honest, right? So 01:19:01.579 --> 01:19:09.939 why are you still in Mac? Well, I made a video 01:19:09.939 --> 01:19:11.859 about it a while ago and I've gotten less comments 01:19:11.859 --> 01:19:15.890 since then, but... It basically boils down to, 01:19:15.989 --> 01:19:21.029 I grew up on the hardware. That's the computer 01:19:21.029 --> 01:19:23.770 company my whole family used. And I've always 01:19:23.770 --> 01:19:26.630 seen it as like the... the academic computer 01:19:26.630 --> 01:19:28.510 you know it's like the computer of higher education 01:19:28.510 --> 01:19:32.109 and so i was just like i actually remember my 01:19:32.109 --> 01:19:34.510 friends when i was saving up for my first computer 01:19:34.510 --> 01:19:37.270 they all wanted me to play some game and they 01:19:37.270 --> 01:19:39.329 were like you should get a you should get a pc 01:19:39.329 --> 01:19:41.050 you should get a windows computer and i like 01:19:41.050 --> 01:19:43.529 wanted to to know how to code so i was like no 01:19:43.529 --> 01:19:46.170 i'm i'm getting a macbook terrible deal like 01:19:46.170 --> 01:19:48.670 a thousand dollars for a very weak computer but 01:19:48.670 --> 01:19:52.390 i just i liked the aesthetic of it and a lot 01:19:52.390 --> 01:19:55.319 of people like in linux like roast me for that 01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:57.739 like oh you're so soy that you like apple like 01:19:57.739 --> 01:20:00.060 come on just you should you should be supporting 01:20:00.060 --> 01:20:02.239 open source and stuff and i totally get that 01:20:02.239 --> 01:20:04.600 argument open source is like it's a great thing 01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:07.760 for the world the reason i'm still using it is 01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:13.380 the hardware is just the battery life and everything 01:20:13.380 --> 01:20:16.899 is just so good it's pretty hard to beat in terms 01:20:16.899 --> 01:20:19.239 of like i've used thinkpads before and they're 01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:22.850 just It's not the same at all remotely close. 01:20:23.029 --> 01:20:26.989 I can use a Linux desktop, I think, because I 01:20:26.989 --> 01:20:29.329 don't have to be on the move. But I need a lot 01:20:29.329 --> 01:20:32.909 of battery life when I'm traveling a lot. And 01:20:32.909 --> 01:20:37.029 I mean, there's also all the video processing 01:20:37.029 --> 01:20:40.189 software. You can get FFmpeg, obviously, and 01:20:40.189 --> 01:20:45.100 a couple. I think DaVinci runs on Linux. I guess 01:20:45.100 --> 01:20:48.239 there's a lot of powerful video and audio software. 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:52.979 And another thing is, I mean, you know this, 01:20:53.079 --> 01:20:55.760 you can get a very good workflow on the Mac. 01:20:55.899 --> 01:21:00.399 It is pretty much Linux in terms of, yeah, it's 01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:02.579 like Unix -based. The directory system's all 01:21:02.579 --> 01:21:07.579 the same, and it's got Homebrew, and most open 01:21:07.579 --> 01:21:10.859 -source pieces of software will run on Mac. You 01:21:10.859 --> 01:21:13.939 see the options are... Mac is usually first because 01:21:13.939 --> 01:21:17.619 it's convenient for people to port to. There's 01:21:17.619 --> 01:21:20.960 some stuff I don't like. There's certain things 01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:22.659 that are really annoying about the operating 01:21:22.659 --> 01:21:26.500 system, but you can customize it, I think, a 01:21:26.500 --> 01:21:29.899 lot more than Linux people think. They assume 01:21:29.899 --> 01:21:33.119 it's Windows, it's shut down, it's all proprietary. 01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:35.640 Certain things you can't change, of course, but 01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:39.600 there is a lot that you can change. You can get 01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:42.510 a... a very good workflow and we have tiling 01:21:42.510 --> 01:21:44.489 window managers now we have obviously you buy 01:21:44.489 --> 01:21:47.689 an aerospace and whatever amethyst the other 01:21:47.689 --> 01:21:50.310 ones pretty much everything you need in terms 01:21:50.310 --> 01:21:56.029 of a great workflow is runnable on mac so i don't 01:21:56.029 --> 01:21:59.369 really see the need to switch but also so much 01:21:59.369 --> 01:22:02.050 of my audience wants me to at that point it's 01:22:02.050 --> 01:22:03.789 just like i might as well do it for the content 01:22:05.710 --> 01:22:09.069 Yeah, I did that. I installed Arch a few days 01:22:09.069 --> 01:22:12.289 ago and a computer that I have back there. I 01:22:12.289 --> 01:22:14.250 don't know. You cannot see it, but it's just 01:22:14.250 --> 01:22:20.590 a microcomputer. And I want to try Omarchi, however 01:22:20.590 --> 01:22:26.050 that's said by DHH, you know, because I've just 01:22:26.050 --> 01:22:29.210 came to the conclusion and the realization that 01:22:29.210 --> 01:22:32.050 I just like decisions to be taken for me. My 01:22:32.050 --> 01:22:35.329 wife chooses my clothes, you know. I don't care. 01:22:35.430 --> 01:22:37.270 She just buys them and I'm like, I'm going to 01:22:37.270 --> 01:22:40.270 wear them. Right. So I just want to try something 01:22:40.270 --> 01:22:43.670 that works out of the box. So if we come think 01:22:43.670 --> 01:22:46.529 about DHH is going to be like my wife, we could 01:22:46.529 --> 01:22:49.029 say, cause he's taking all the decisions for 01:22:49.029 --> 01:22:53.989 me. Right. But I don't care about customization 01:22:53.989 --> 01:22:56.489 anymore. It's just like, I just want it to work. 01:22:56.569 --> 01:22:59.489 I just. We'll let someone else figure it out. 01:22:59.510 --> 01:23:02.470 Just like my NeoVim distribution, which is LazyVim. 01:23:02.529 --> 01:23:05.510 I'm old already. I don't care. You know, at this 01:23:05.510 --> 01:23:09.310 point in life, it's just whatever. I installed 01:23:09.310 --> 01:23:13.890 Arch using the wiki and I didn't know what Hyperlink 01:23:13.890 --> 01:23:19.329 was, what the compositor, whatever the bar. No, 01:23:19.510 --> 01:23:24.770 it's just, I'll try a Marchi or a Marki and I'll 01:23:24.770 --> 01:23:29.380 see how it goes. Yeah, I get that. People are 01:23:29.380 --> 01:23:32.199 often saying like, oh, it's about learning Linux 01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:34.100 though. It doesn't matter that it's inconvenient. 01:23:34.420 --> 01:23:37.020 But if I were someone who's never tried Linux 01:23:37.020 --> 01:23:39.720 before, I would agree with that. But I SSH all 01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:41.859 the time. I know all the shell commands. I know 01:23:41.859 --> 01:23:45.939 Linux. It's like the specific stuff. I'm not 01:23:45.939 --> 01:23:48.579 all that interested in learning how some random 01:23:48.579 --> 01:23:51.720 display server works, how some random desktop 01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:56.939 environment. Yeah, I guess like... Maybe you 01:23:56.939 --> 01:23:59.340 can get some kind of cool features going, more 01:23:59.340 --> 01:24:01.699 customizability, but it's so much work to learn 01:24:01.699 --> 01:24:05.739 those things. I'd rather put time into the stuff 01:24:05.739 --> 01:24:07.739 that's on all the platforms, the shell utilities 01:24:07.739 --> 01:24:11.960 and Vim and stuff like that. Yeah. And like you 01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:17.260 said as well, people think that macOS is pretty 01:24:17.260 --> 01:24:21.079 closed like Windows. I've been using Windows 01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:23.960 right now because at the work that I'm on, I 01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:26.220 use a Windows computer. They gave me a ThinkPad 01:24:26.220 --> 01:24:31.640 and it's a really good ThinkPad. It's one of 01:24:31.640 --> 01:24:35.659 the latest models. 32 gigs of RAM. Nice display. 01:24:36.199 --> 01:24:41.619 But it's just plasticky. It's clunky. It's ugly. 01:24:42.340 --> 01:24:45.840 The battery doesn't last that long. Windows, 01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:48.949 man. windows just switching between applications 01:24:48.949 --> 01:24:51.569 it feels slow i don't know there's something 01:24:51.569 --> 01:24:54.029 going on with with windows but what are your 01:24:54.029 --> 01:24:57.149 thoughts on windows by the way i hate windows 01:24:57.149 --> 01:25:00.050 i have to use it for work it's just it's terrible 01:25:00.050 --> 01:25:04.609 even if you install wsl oh it's it's just it's 01:25:04.609 --> 01:25:08.130 not the same like everything is always breaking 01:25:08.130 --> 01:25:10.909 you're trying to set up things it's like the 01:25:11.449 --> 01:25:14.710 Windows side, the Linux side, there's so many 01:25:14.710 --> 01:25:17.489 problems with everything constantly. And the 01:25:17.489 --> 01:25:20.130 interface is not configurable at all. It feels 01:25:20.130 --> 01:25:25.069 so slow. It's not Unix. It's not the same. And 01:25:25.069 --> 01:25:29.609 I guess Linux is the best, best case scenario. 01:25:29.750 --> 01:25:32.510 But macOS just feels so much better than Windows. 01:25:32.930 --> 01:25:36.229 Oh, yeah. There's no contest. Yeah, definitely. 01:25:38.029 --> 01:25:40.029 I don't know what's going to happen with me and 01:25:40.029 --> 01:25:43.850 Linux, you know. It's really comfortable. Mac 01:25:43.850 --> 01:25:47.949 OS is really comfortable. I don't know. Supporting 01:25:47.949 --> 01:25:50.329 big companies like Apple. I don't care, man. 01:25:50.409 --> 01:25:52.989 Just give me a product that works. I don't care 01:25:52.989 --> 01:25:56.689 too much about ethics and all. I don't know. 01:25:56.710 --> 01:26:00.470 I just want my computer to work and Mac OS works 01:26:00.470 --> 01:26:04.909 just fine with me. I don't see a point in switching. 01:26:05.090 --> 01:26:07.449 I'm doing it for the content, of course, you 01:26:07.449 --> 01:26:09.029 know, because I want to install Arch. I want 01:26:09.029 --> 01:26:12.090 to experience how Arch is and all that stuff 01:26:12.090 --> 01:26:14.609 and understand what people talk about. It looks 01:26:14.609 --> 01:26:19.149 beautiful, but I don't know, maybe in the future. 01:26:19.189 --> 01:26:22.930 But for now, I'm sticking to macOS, I think. 01:26:23.050 --> 01:26:27.920 What about you? Yeah, I... i do really like the 01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:30.380 side of it where people are concerned with privacy 01:26:30.380 --> 01:26:33.319 and not supporting big corporations but it's 01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:36.460 very tough in this day and age to to be like 01:26:36.460 --> 01:26:38.180 that because if you're saying that you're on 01:26:38.180 --> 01:26:40.180 the internet okay you're supporting youtube you 01:26:40.180 --> 01:26:42.819 support google yeah your browser your everything 01:26:42.819 --> 01:26:46.539 you do is and you are in a database you're being 01:26:46.539 --> 01:26:49.399 tracked you can't avoid it like it's too late 01:26:49.399 --> 01:26:53.510 at this point it's kind of like They get more 01:26:53.510 --> 01:26:55.170 and more data, but it's not like there's someone 01:26:55.170 --> 01:26:57.890 evil in Apple that's like, I'm going to manipulate 01:26:57.890 --> 01:27:01.270 you specifically. You're just one person in a 01:27:01.270 --> 01:27:04.010 massive data set. That is scary that we're in 01:27:04.010 --> 01:27:05.989 a surveillance state, and we should try to shut 01:27:05.989 --> 01:27:08.109 that down. Ideally, everyone should be running 01:27:08.109 --> 01:27:10.850 Linux, and it's great to see it's gaining more 01:27:10.850 --> 01:27:13.029 popularity. I'm very supportive of that, but 01:27:13.029 --> 01:27:16.409 at the same time, the individual privacy thing 01:27:16.409 --> 01:27:19.029 is like, okay, at this point, if I'm a public 01:27:19.029 --> 01:27:22.489 figure on YouTube, my privacy is... already there's 01:27:22.489 --> 01:27:27.470 no hope yeah so but i i don't want to dismiss 01:27:27.470 --> 01:27:30.170 the open source the privacy people at all because 01:27:30.170 --> 01:27:33.430 that is a very valid concern and they're they're 01:27:33.430 --> 01:27:36.069 kind of keeping us from if there was no linux 01:27:36.069 --> 01:27:38.529 that would be kind of worrying if all software 01:27:38.529 --> 01:27:42.689 was controlled by private companies but yeah 01:27:42.689 --> 01:27:45.890 that's That's just my thoughts on it. Yeah. And 01:27:45.890 --> 01:27:48.989 Linux, of course, balances everything out, you 01:27:48.989 --> 01:27:51.050 know, because it's the standard that everyone 01:27:51.050 --> 01:27:55.270 aspires. It for sure influences macOS, right? 01:27:55.369 --> 01:28:00.670 So I don't know. It's pretty similar, actually. 01:28:00.770 --> 01:28:03.350 Like you said, it's Unix based. So I do the same 01:28:03.350 --> 01:28:07.050 things that I do in macOS, I do in Linux. I configure 01:28:07.050 --> 01:28:09.949 a window manager, the bar at the top, you know, 01:28:09.949 --> 01:28:13.520 it doesn't even look like macOS. So Linux definitely 01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:18.760 brings a lot of ideas to macOS for sure. So without 01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:22.119 Linux, man, I don't know where we would be. macOS 01:28:22.119 --> 01:28:24.600 would be like Windows, you know, pretty closed, 01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:27.520 pretty horrible. You couldn't customize it too 01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.539 much. But all of that open source being done 01:28:30.539 --> 01:28:33.100 in Linux is then brought over to macOS. And that's 01:28:33.100 --> 01:28:37.949 awesome, right? Yeah. Yeah, and it is quite similar 01:28:37.949 --> 01:28:41.170 also beyond just the Unix stuff. If you ever 01:28:41.170 --> 01:28:43.850 try to develop low -level things for macOS, they 01:28:43.850 --> 01:28:48.670 have equivalents to LaunchD and sockets and daemonizing 01:28:48.670 --> 01:28:51.449 processes is pretty similar on macOS. They have 01:28:51.449 --> 01:28:56.149 equivalent stuff to all the Linux stuff. It goes 01:28:56.149 --> 01:28:59.069 down pretty deep. There's obviously some stuff 01:28:59.069 --> 01:29:02.630 that's closed and proprietary. like there's some 01:29:02.630 --> 01:29:04.489 things i really wish i could change i don't want 01:29:04.489 --> 01:29:07.310 a login screen at all when i restart because 01:29:07.310 --> 01:29:09.489 my keyboard layout is different i'm always like 01:29:09.489 --> 01:29:11.649 mistyping it and getting locked out i wish i 01:29:11.649 --> 01:29:14.109 could just like root remove that but i think 01:29:14.109 --> 01:29:18.810 it's just baked in but yeah it's it's overall 01:29:18.810 --> 01:29:23.579 it's a solid operating system okay now what do 01:29:23.579 --> 01:29:27.020 your friends think about because you're all of 01:29:27.020 --> 01:29:29.119 your friends are in math what do they think about 01:29:29.119 --> 01:29:32.220 your channel your youtube and your you know passion 01:29:32.220 --> 01:29:34.979 for computers and all that stuff do they understand 01:29:34.979 --> 01:29:39.899 it or they're like what there's uh i have maybe 01:29:39.899 --> 01:29:43.460 one or two friends at my school that like program 01:29:43.460 --> 01:29:46.220 and that actually know kind of what i'm talking 01:29:46.220 --> 01:29:48.970 about one of them like is into vim and stuff 01:29:48.970 --> 01:29:50.770 and the other one is just a programmer not into 01:29:50.770 --> 01:29:54.130 them they understand it but i'd say i'm not really 01:29:54.130 --> 01:29:57.810 at a big computer science school and 99 of my 01:29:57.810 --> 01:29:59.930 friends just have no idea what i'm talking about 01:29:59.930 --> 01:30:02.109 online like they just know there's a bunch of 01:30:02.109 --> 01:30:05.250 there's a bunch of weirdos that are just really 01:30:05.250 --> 01:30:07.489 into this for whatever reason and there's a market 01:30:07.489 --> 01:30:11.170 for it but yeah it's it is kind of weird sometimes 01:30:11.170 --> 01:30:13.760 like people say something to me like oh i saw 01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:15.979 you said in such and such a video the other day 01:30:15.979 --> 01:30:17.920 and i'm really surprised they watch my content 01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:20.319 because i think like who would watch this if 01:30:20.319 --> 01:30:22.760 they don't know what vim is it would make no 01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:25.579 sense so they watch it do they know you're popular 01:30:25.579 --> 01:30:30.739 then yeah they do um i'm actually not sure because 01:30:30.739 --> 01:30:34.000 other than my very close friends that i talk 01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:36.979 about this with like it's mostly just a ton of 01:30:36.979 --> 01:30:39.420 people that I'm not sure if they're watching 01:30:39.420 --> 01:30:41.920 me or not. Some of them probably are. Some of 01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:44.779 them will probably watch this, but I don't know 01:30:44.779 --> 01:30:48.319 who it is. A lot of people I've met once or twice, 01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:51.420 but that now know that I'm somewhat of a public 01:30:51.420 --> 01:30:55.859 figure. And did Prime's reaction increase your 01:30:55.859 --> 01:31:01.880 viewers? Did you notice if it went up a lot? 01:31:01.939 --> 01:31:06.220 There was a jump. It wasn't... Crazy. I remember 01:31:06.220 --> 01:31:10.260 seeing it live. I was at work and my friend Ethan 01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:12.920 Neisser, I don't know if you know that guy. He's 01:31:12.920 --> 01:31:17.439 like a crazy TypeScript wizard at Vercel. He 01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:21.199 messaged me that Primogen was reacting to me. 01:31:21.260 --> 01:31:23.699 So I jumped out of work and I went and watched 01:31:23.699 --> 01:31:26.579 it. But it didn't take until he actually published 01:31:26.579 --> 01:31:29.119 the video before a bunch of people found out 01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:33.680 about me. Oh, and did it increase your subscribers? 01:31:34.970 --> 01:31:38.670 i think so it's hard to say like because there's 01:31:38.670 --> 01:31:40.609 many different videos all at different levels 01:31:40.609 --> 01:31:44.109 like i think it did i'm not sure exactly by how 01:31:44.109 --> 01:31:46.989 many but definitely there was more people coming 01:31:46.989 --> 01:31:52.489 in because of it okay now let's debunk a myth 01:31:52.489 --> 01:31:58.970 maybe it's just a false myth right so people 01:31:58.970 --> 01:32:04.229 probably wonder do looks impact Your percentage 01:32:04.229 --> 01:32:09.010 of female YouTube audience, you know, like my 01:32:09.010 --> 01:32:12.970 percentage of females. What is it? Hold on. I 01:32:12.970 --> 01:32:14.869 don't remember what it is. Let me look it up 01:32:14.869 --> 01:32:17.729 real quick. I think I have it somewhere here. 01:32:18.909 --> 01:32:24.229 Let me see. Okay. So my female audience is 1 01:32:24.229 --> 01:32:31.909 .6%. 1 .6%. We're starting to sound like the 01:32:31.909 --> 01:32:37.630 Linux guys. We just crossed 0 .7 market share. 01:32:39.069 --> 01:32:43.810 So do you have an idea on your analytics? What 01:32:43.810 --> 01:32:46.689 percentage is female, your audience? I was checking 01:32:46.689 --> 01:32:50.369 it earlier when I was editing. It's like 3 .5, 01:32:50.569 --> 01:32:54.310 which is also, it's very small. But I mean... 01:32:55.340 --> 01:32:57.960 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's twice as mine. 01:32:58.020 --> 01:33:02.220 It's a lot. I mean, yeah, I guess so. I guess 01:33:02.220 --> 01:33:04.619 so. That's still like, there should be more girls 01:33:04.619 --> 01:33:08.159 doing this, but it is what it is. And I mean, 01:33:08.180 --> 01:33:11.039 I had that video with a real girl in it. Maybe 01:33:11.039 --> 01:33:13.380 that helped a little bit. I'm not exactly sure 01:33:13.380 --> 01:33:15.430 what would draw it. I know. I don't know if you've 01:33:15.430 --> 01:33:17.569 heard the Ben Awad story. He switched over to 01:33:17.569 --> 01:33:20.210 Instagram for programming content and his audience 01:33:20.210 --> 01:33:23.670 became like 99 % girls. He just turned it like 01:33:23.670 --> 01:33:26.329 a thirst trap channel for a couple of months. 01:33:28.250 --> 01:33:31.710 But yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that 01:33:31.710 --> 01:33:36.869 helps. It's around 3 .5 % you said, right? Okay. 01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:42.119 I also heard that in one of the videos you mentioned, 01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:45.079 why are your thoughts on the Harpoon plugin, 01:33:45.300 --> 01:33:49.180 the new plugin by Prime? Oh, the Harpoon plugin. 01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:53.819 I have beef with that, yeah. So my problem with 01:33:53.819 --> 01:33:56.600 it, I used it for a long time, to be fair. I 01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:58.859 thought, like, this is an awesome idea, right? 01:33:58.920 --> 01:34:01.539 Switch between your frequent files. But then 01:34:01.539 --> 01:34:04.460 I was thinking about it and how it relates to 01:34:04.460 --> 01:34:08.140 VS Code. It's literally just... like four tabs 01:34:08.140 --> 01:34:10.779 at the, it's exactly like having just tabs at 01:34:10.779 --> 01:34:12.939 the top of your screen and VS code using like 01:34:12.939 --> 01:34:14.680 control one, two, three, four to switch to them. 01:34:14.800 --> 01:34:16.520 Except the only difference is you can't really 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:18.720 see the names. And what would happen with me 01:34:18.720 --> 01:34:20.840 is like, I know you can show the names, but I'd 01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:24.340 always put in maybe two that I really like switch 01:34:24.340 --> 01:34:26.300 back and forth between a lot. And then the other 01:34:26.300 --> 01:34:28.819 two, I'd like always forget which one I put in 01:34:28.819 --> 01:34:30.439 the third and fourth. So I'd be like kind of 01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:32.800 spamming all the shortcuts to try to open them. 01:34:33.460 --> 01:34:38.220 And it just, It's just not that good. I realized 01:34:38.220 --> 01:34:41.140 it's just, it's an overrated plugin because what 01:34:41.140 --> 01:34:44.260 you can do is, you know, the alternate file command, 01:34:44.340 --> 01:34:47.960 the E a hashtag or control carrot. I would just 01:34:47.960 --> 01:34:50.579 do that for the two main files. And then I either 01:34:50.579 --> 01:34:54.100 just like fuzzy find the last two or just drop 01:34:54.100 --> 01:34:57.340 global marks just for, if it's a file that starts 01:34:57.340 --> 01:34:59.699 with M I just put the global M mark in it. And 01:34:59.699 --> 01:35:01.760 then it's much easier for me to remember. And 01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:05.649 it's one less plugin. Plus I can. If I'm on a 01:35:05.649 --> 01:35:09.430 remote server, I'm going to be fine. I tried 01:35:09.430 --> 01:35:11.970 it as well, Harpoon. I used it for like a couple 01:35:11.970 --> 01:35:14.890 of weeks. But you need to have a system, I guess, 01:35:14.989 --> 01:35:17.810 you know, because this file is always going to 01:35:17.810 --> 01:35:22.229 be on the, has to be on the same, you know, Harpoon 01:35:22.229 --> 01:35:25.909 position because you will, or the shortcut, so 01:35:25.909 --> 01:35:29.810 you will always jump to that file. So I did have 01:35:29.810 --> 01:35:32.890 like four files. One of them was my key maps 01:35:32.890 --> 01:35:35.890 file, any of them. The other one was my CSHRC 01:35:35.890 --> 01:35:39.250 file, I think. And I used to jump to them very 01:35:39.250 --> 01:35:42.270 often. But if you don't use them, I don't know. 01:35:42.390 --> 01:35:45.270 You need to configure it. So I think it loses 01:35:45.270 --> 01:35:50.970 the appeal. I don't know. Maybe I don't understand 01:35:50.970 --> 01:35:53.409 it. That's what I think. I don't have the system 01:35:53.409 --> 01:35:58.229 to, let's say that the main file is always going 01:35:58.229 --> 01:36:02.319 to be this shortcut. This file is always good 01:36:02.319 --> 01:36:04.520 to be this other shortcut. I don't know. But 01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:07.260 I just stopped using it. I use the alternate 01:36:07.260 --> 01:36:10.399 file a lot as well, like you said. And the alternate 01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:12.560 Tmux session, right? So I just switch between 01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:15.699 the last two sessions, the last two files. And 01:36:15.699 --> 01:36:18.060 then I just scroll through my open buffers and 01:36:18.060 --> 01:36:23.720 switch to it that way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you 01:36:23.720 --> 01:36:26.819 use Tmux, by the way? Oh, yeah. I'm a big fan 01:36:26.819 --> 01:36:30.789 of Tmux. Yeah? What do you use it for? I use 01:36:30.789 --> 01:36:33.470 basically the Primegens workflow with the TMUG 01:36:33.470 --> 01:36:36.949 Sessionizer. So I just like every project directory, 01:36:37.329 --> 01:36:40.750 I just open it with the TMUG Sessionizer. And 01:36:40.750 --> 01:36:43.189 then I can just spawn tabs off that. It's usually 01:36:43.189 --> 01:36:45.329 just to have like one Vim instance. And then 01:36:45.329 --> 01:36:47.569 if I'm doing web dev, I'm running a server in 01:36:47.569 --> 01:36:51.630 another tab. Or yeah, it's usually just one or 01:36:51.630 --> 01:36:54.460 two. different things but being able to just 01:36:54.460 --> 01:36:56.680 fuzzy find to any of your projects and then i 01:36:56.680 --> 01:36:59.319 have like dedicated key maps for certain ones 01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:01.920 like i have capital d for dot files and then 01:37:01.920 --> 01:37:04.520 my capital p for projects and i have my home 01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:06.619 directory and downloads and just common ones 01:37:06.619 --> 01:37:09.840 so just lets me fly around really quickly and 01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:13.159 yeah i see people like opening a ton of different 01:37:13.159 --> 01:37:15.720 terminal tabs and using like zoxide to move around 01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:18.840 it's like i did that for a while and it's just 01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:22.260 it's ridiculous to try to do that 10 times and 01:37:22.260 --> 01:37:24.199 I'm like, you want to switch projects? Good luck, 01:37:24.239 --> 01:37:27.739 close every tab, open up 10 new processes. It's 01:37:27.739 --> 01:37:30.300 just so much better than that. Yeah, this is 01:37:30.300 --> 01:37:33.600 what I do as well. I use my daily note a lot, 01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:36.300 especially for calls like this. You know, this 01:37:36.300 --> 01:37:38.760 is where I have my notes right now, you know, 01:37:38.760 --> 01:37:40.779 the questions that I've been asking. But if I 01:37:40.779 --> 01:37:43.859 need to switch to my .files, it's just, you know, 01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:48.039 a key map away. Quite fast, right? go back to 01:37:48.039 --> 01:37:51.180 my daily notes or go to my blog post, for example, 01:37:51.380 --> 01:37:54.279 right? Here's my blog post. And I have it configured 01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:58.539 so that it opens NeoVim when I switch and so 01:37:58.539 --> 01:38:02.600 that it restores the session or to my home session. 01:38:02.779 --> 01:38:04.939 I have another one as well. The first time, of 01:38:04.939 --> 01:38:06.420 course, it's going to take a little while because 01:38:06.420 --> 01:38:09.319 it needs to open it. But after it's open, it's 01:38:09.319 --> 01:38:13.220 quite fast to jump to them, right? Just quite 01:38:13.220 --> 01:38:18.500 easily. i guess you use it in a similar way right 01:38:18.500 --> 01:38:22.239 yeah it's also sometimes i randomly command q 01:38:22.239 --> 01:38:25.760 my whole terminal and if i wasn't able to restore 01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:27.659 everything with tmux that would be really annoying 01:38:27.659 --> 01:38:35.000 oh yeah definitely okay and um do you wanna demo 01:38:35.000 --> 01:38:38.680 something on your end do you wanna show us something 01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:43.380 sure yeah um should i open a new tab just so 01:38:43.380 --> 01:38:46.460 i don't get an infinite Yep, let me know and 01:38:46.460 --> 01:38:49.560 I'll switch to your screen. Yeah, you should 01:38:49.560 --> 01:38:52.619 be good too. Okay, let's see. Yep, I'm looking 01:38:52.619 --> 01:38:54.760 at your screen right now. What are you going 01:38:54.760 --> 01:39:00.100 to demo for us today? I guess I should show off 01:39:00.100 --> 01:39:01.979 some of the types language because that's what 01:39:01.979 --> 01:39:05.579 I've been famous for. Just to set the stage, 01:39:05.800 --> 01:39:08.680 what is that? And how does it compare? Because 01:39:08.680 --> 01:39:12.159 there's these other... Is it a language? LaTeX 01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:14.800 or LaTeX? I don't know how it's pronounced. LaTeX? 01:39:16.520 --> 01:39:19.579 Apparently it's LaTeX according to the LaTeX 01:39:19.579 --> 01:39:22.739 Foundation, but everyone just kind of says, they 01:39:22.739 --> 01:39:26.039 say all different things. It's kind of a pronunciation 01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:30.720 disaster. There's no, no one really follows their 01:39:30.720 --> 01:39:32.619 advice. People just say how they learned it. 01:39:33.000 --> 01:39:37.640 Oh, okay. So what are they? Are they like similars? 01:39:38.399 --> 01:39:41.460 latex and typist are the languages that you use 01:39:41.460 --> 01:39:45.859 for writing text or what are they yeah they're 01:39:45.859 --> 01:39:49.300 really um they're used most heavily in like academic 01:39:49.300 --> 01:39:51.800 math for writing textbooks and papers at least 01:39:51.800 --> 01:39:55.539 that's what latex is used most for but they're 01:39:55.539 --> 01:39:58.939 basically like languages that compile to pdfs 01:39:58.939 --> 01:40:03.989 or images so There are also other things that 01:40:03.989 --> 01:40:06.630 kind of do this. I know there are Puppeteer. 01:40:06.630 --> 01:40:09.390 No, not Puppeteer. Is it Playwright? There's 01:40:09.390 --> 01:40:11.649 one thing on the back end that kind of does a 01:40:11.649 --> 01:40:15.010 similar thing that can render PDFs. I'm not sure 01:40:15.010 --> 01:40:17.609 what it is. It's like a JavaScript package. But 01:40:17.609 --> 01:40:19.789 you can really do it. You can use it for anything 01:40:19.789 --> 01:40:24.050 that you're generating notes or documents. Yeah, 01:40:24.210 --> 01:40:27.430 it's largely like an academic thing, though. 01:40:27.869 --> 01:40:30.550 What do you use it for? For your math classes? 01:40:32.160 --> 01:40:35.260 yeah for the most part for submitting homework 01:40:35.260 --> 01:40:38.659 i'm i'm not someone who takes notes really it's 01:40:38.659 --> 01:40:42.319 never worked out for me so i just we have to 01:40:42.319 --> 01:40:46.720 type up our math into a printable document if 01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:48.880 you're a math major that's a pretty common requirement 01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:51.939 they don't let you hand write it anymore so that's 01:40:51.939 --> 01:40:55.199 mostly what i use it for but i also i kind of 01:40:55.199 --> 01:40:59.340 just use it now as uh stand in for any kind of 01:40:59.340 --> 01:41:01.720 writing that i have to do for school because 01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:03.880 if you're taking notes that you're going to look 01:41:03.880 --> 01:41:05.619 at yourself or people in the computer science 01:41:05.619 --> 01:41:07.500 world are going to look at right markdown is 01:41:07.500 --> 01:41:10.560 great and there's a lot of support for it but 01:41:10.560 --> 01:41:12.420 if you have to give it to someone who's outside 01:41:12.420 --> 01:41:15.260 of that like i guess you can compile it to a 01:41:15.260 --> 01:41:17.119 pdf and give it to them but like you can't give 01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:19.020 markdown to a normal person they're gonna freak 01:41:19.020 --> 01:41:21.800 out when they see all the hashtags and stuff 01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:25.180 so it's like it's like that but you have much 01:41:25.180 --> 01:41:28.489 more control than you can do any kind of arbitrary 01:41:28.489 --> 01:41:31.189 layout rather than just mark down headings and 01:41:31.189 --> 01:41:38.350 links and stuff um but yeah so that's that's 01:41:38.350 --> 01:41:42.229 that's i guess the basic intro here's a um what 01:41:42.229 --> 01:41:44.770 you can do with it so this package i have right 01:41:44.770 --> 01:41:48.489 here is just something i threw together in a 01:41:48.489 --> 01:41:52.029 few days as kind of a joke and what it does pretty 01:41:52.029 --> 01:41:56.229 much is generate nonsensical math papers so i 01:41:56.229 --> 01:42:00.090 have a little plug -in called types preview which 01:42:00.090 --> 01:42:03.449 lets you just generate like a live web view of 01:42:03.449 --> 01:42:05.710 the document you're currently editing so if i 01:42:05.710 --> 01:42:08.789 enter that you can see it'll pop up this paper 01:42:08.789 --> 01:42:12.689 that's just browser rendered and you can zoom 01:42:12.689 --> 01:42:15.670 in and see it's just like all random objective 01:42:15.670 --> 01:42:18.090 constructable algebra the anti -standard silver 01:42:18.090 --> 01:42:20.710 groupoid lemma for anti -standard groupoid is 01:42:20.710 --> 01:42:22.189 extremely sounds like something you would have 01:42:22.189 --> 01:42:29.020 written I want to go back and improve this one 01:42:29.020 --> 01:42:31.239 day because there's quite a lot of small mistakes 01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:34.479 in it. You can see right here. Oh, I guess that's 01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:35.979 someone's name I thought that was about. But 01:42:35.979 --> 01:42:39.739 yeah, there's repeated words and a bunch of weird 01:42:39.739 --> 01:42:44.220 mistakes. But it was a fun project. And you can 01:42:44.220 --> 01:42:48.779 see the language is very fast. So if I were to 01:42:48.779 --> 01:42:52.279 change anything in the seed here, There's no 01:42:52.279 --> 01:42:54.539 random numbers in this language because it's 01:42:54.539 --> 01:42:57.859 deterministic, but this is now a new paper. I 01:42:57.859 --> 01:42:59.619 guess it's kind of hard to see that anything 01:42:59.619 --> 01:43:01.739 was switched, but if we look, there's 10 references. 01:43:01.840 --> 01:43:04.680 If I add more text down here and switch back, 01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:07.260 now there's seven references. So it regenerates 01:43:07.260 --> 01:43:09.699 the whole paper each time. And I had to do all 01:43:09.699 --> 01:43:13.140 pseudo -random number generation because there's 01:43:13.140 --> 01:43:16.520 no math random standard library in this language. 01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:22.399 And you do all of this in typist, right? Yes. 01:43:22.460 --> 01:43:25.100 Yeah. There's, this is kind of the main template 01:43:25.100 --> 01:43:27.760 page, but here you can see, I can zoom out a 01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:31.800 little bit to show this is a 800 line file. That's 01:43:31.800 --> 01:43:36.079 mostly because I'm storing like a bunch of like 01:43:36.079 --> 01:43:40.619 word databases, basically. Let's see. Yeah. Like 01:43:40.619 --> 01:43:43.680 a bunch of symbols, a bunch of stuff like this. 01:43:45.859 --> 01:43:49.579 And yeah, it's all kind of, it lets you like 01:43:49.579 --> 01:43:52.770 use for loops and stuff. And are you the only 01:43:52.770 --> 01:43:58.350 one in your school that does this? How do others 01:43:58.350 --> 01:44:01.909 use it? I don't think they're using Vim or NeoVim. 01:44:02.050 --> 01:44:04.850 I guess they're dedicated tools that do this? 01:44:06.149 --> 01:44:11.510 Yeah, there's kind of other math majors I know 01:44:11.510 --> 01:44:14.909 will use LaTeX and Overleaf. I don't know if 01:44:14.909 --> 01:44:16.869 you've ever heard of that. It's basically like 01:44:16.869 --> 01:44:20.380 a web editor for LaTeX. And it lets you just 01:44:20.380 --> 01:44:23.640 kind of like, it's basically what I just showed 01:44:23.640 --> 01:44:27.899 except all web -based and it's a lot slower. 01:44:28.380 --> 01:44:32.420 Oh, like, like a Google docs for. Yeah, exactly. 01:44:32.699 --> 01:44:37.180 Yeah. Late tech. Okay. And no one is really using 01:44:37.180 --> 01:44:40.039 types. Types does vary. It's like, it's coming 01:44:40.039 --> 01:44:43.380 out of Germany. It's very new. Like pretty much 01:44:43.380 --> 01:44:46.859 no one at my school. No. And why did you go for 01:44:46.859 --> 01:44:52.100 types? and not LaTeX. I tried LaTeX initially 01:44:52.100 --> 01:44:55.340 because you kind of have to as a math major. 01:44:55.439 --> 01:44:58.600 It's just the standard that you learn. And it 01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:01.800 was so bad. And I'm like very into optimizing 01:45:01.800 --> 01:45:04.520 things. I had been using Vim. I had a Vim plus 01:45:04.520 --> 01:45:07.579 LaTeX set up for a while, but I thought someone 01:45:07.579 --> 01:45:09.500 has got to have made like a better version of 01:45:09.500 --> 01:45:11.699 LaTeX by now. It's probably written in Rust too. 01:45:11.819 --> 01:45:16.720 And I looked it up, sure enough. So, yeah, I 01:45:16.720 --> 01:45:19.000 just. i tried it out i was a little hesitant 01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:21.380 to switch but the more i looked into it the more 01:45:21.380 --> 01:45:25.680 the the cooler it is because latex doesn't have 01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:28.960 like control flow at all it's just kind of like 01:45:28.960 --> 01:45:31.460 markdown whereas this language has first class 01:45:31.460 --> 01:45:34.880 like i can show for example say you're familiar 01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:38.500 with the problem fizzbuzz i've heard it in primes 01:45:38.500 --> 01:45:41.220 videos but i'm not i'm not a programmer by the 01:45:41.220 --> 01:45:47.220 way i just hear them oh i got you and yeah it's 01:45:47.220 --> 01:45:49.640 pretty much um you want to print out the first 01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:53.539 100 numbers or whatever and then if it's divisible 01:45:53.539 --> 01:45:56.600 by three you print fizz if it's visible by five 01:45:56.600 --> 01:45:58.840 you print buzz if it's divisible by both so like 01:45:58.840 --> 01:46:00.840 15 then you print fizz buzz and otherwise you 01:46:00.840 --> 01:46:03.840 just print the number so you could like do that 01:46:03.840 --> 01:46:06.300 theoretically in this language very easily like 01:46:06.300 --> 01:46:09.359 i can declare a for loop just like in python 01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:13.399 and then like go through 100 values right and 01:46:13.399 --> 01:46:17.350 then in here use control flow so it's kind of 01:46:17.350 --> 01:46:19.630 weird it's not all that intuitive it's calc dot 01:46:19.630 --> 01:46:22.550 remainder and then you you pass it like that 01:46:22.550 --> 01:46:25.869 instead of like normal modulo so that's uh that'll 01:46:25.869 --> 01:46:27.750 let me see if it's fizz i'm actually going to 01:46:27.750 --> 01:46:30.489 declare a variable here and say let uh answer 01:46:30.489 --> 01:46:33.369 equals an empty string so if it's visible by 01:46:33.369 --> 01:46:36.710 three answer you can you can add logic in your 01:46:36.710 --> 01:46:41.069 text then and how exactly benefit you well it 01:46:41.069 --> 01:46:43.979 would allow you to like arbitrarily lay out very 01:46:43.979 --> 01:46:46.340 complicated textbooks or diagrams or anything 01:46:46.340 --> 01:46:49.020 like that you can kind of calculate and automatically 01:46:49.020 --> 01:46:55.239 generate a bunch of pages um so it's very and 01:46:55.239 --> 01:47:00.579 then why is this during an error here wd expected 01:47:00.579 --> 01:47:08.460 boolean oh if equals zero of course yeah so like 01:47:08.460 --> 01:47:11.039 if you want to conditionally render things or 01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:14.699 just complicated layouts So I'll add buzz to 01:47:14.699 --> 01:47:16.239 that. And I'll be able to show you in a minute 01:47:16.239 --> 01:47:18.380 what this looks like. So we're almost good there. 01:47:18.840 --> 01:47:21.319 But if it's neither divisible, we just want to 01:47:21.319 --> 01:47:26.000 make the answer. So if the answer equals just 01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:28.680 an empty string, we want to say the answer equals 01:47:28.680 --> 01:47:32.659 the string equivalent of i. And that's good. 01:47:32.819 --> 01:47:35.699 So we can just... The number that you said, right? 01:47:35.859 --> 01:47:39.689 Just print the number. Right. Right. The LSP 01:47:39.689 --> 01:47:42.229 for all of this is great, by the way. So then 01:47:42.229 --> 01:47:43.890 we're done with that, and we can just basically 01:47:43.890 --> 01:47:45.630 render in content. So I'm going to use what's 01:47:45.630 --> 01:47:48.949 called a box, and then here just render the answer. 01:47:49.189 --> 01:47:51.909 Hold on. What do you use for the LSP? Is there 01:47:51.909 --> 01:47:55.689 a NeoVim -dedicated plugin or language server? 01:47:57.029 --> 01:48:01.710 Yes, there is. It's called TinyMist LSP. It's 01:48:01.710 --> 01:48:05.750 developed by these... chinese guys and they are 01:48:05.750 --> 01:48:08.510 really they're really brilliant this is a excellent 01:48:08.510 --> 01:48:11.930 lsp and it has like support for still maintaining 01:48:11.930 --> 01:48:16.130 oh yeah big time it's it's got a i'm actually 01:48:16.130 --> 01:48:20.449 a an occasional maintainer at i help them write 01:48:20.449 --> 01:48:22.289 documentation because their english is a little 01:48:22.289 --> 01:48:27.989 bit iffy sometimes oh okay um but yeah that's 01:48:27.989 --> 01:48:30.029 basically and then we can have like an inset 01:48:30.939 --> 01:48:35.520 Oops. And you can see here we've got fizzbuzz 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:41.420 rendering in a PDF, which is pretty interesting. 01:48:42.180 --> 01:48:46.239 Looks like there's something weird about this. 01:48:48.119 --> 01:48:55.399 Oh, that makes sense. I accidentally used a 3 01:48:55.399 --> 01:49:01.380 instead of a 5. Oh. So that's... Easy fix. There 01:49:01.380 --> 01:49:06.060 we go. Oh, I see. Okay. Okay. Okay. And have 01:49:06.060 --> 01:49:14.560 you found a legal use case for this logic that 01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:19.340 you can implement in your files? I kind of have 01:49:19.340 --> 01:49:22.680 been using it for my board game. that's really 01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:24.859 like in shambles at the moment i don't have any 01:49:24.859 --> 01:49:27.699 working solution but for laying out like cards 01:49:27.699 --> 01:49:30.279 like playing cards because you can overlay a 01:49:30.279 --> 01:49:33.220 bunch of text and stuff that's really cool it'll 01:49:33.220 --> 01:49:35.159 be a lot more useful during the school year it's 01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:37.739 definitely like a note -taking kind of math homework 01:49:37.739 --> 01:49:41.579 type language definitely but i can see also how 01:49:41.579 --> 01:49:43.840 people could use it to maybe generate sales reports 01:49:43.840 --> 01:49:46.859 or any kind of professional document anything 01:49:46.859 --> 01:49:49.909 like that yeah so you don't go out to another 01:49:49.909 --> 01:49:52.229 tool to do the math and all that stuff you can 01:49:52.229 --> 01:49:56.430 do it inside the document and yeah exactly yeah 01:49:56.430 --> 01:49:58.890 and there's any kind of arbitrary math you can 01:49:58.890 --> 01:50:02.899 also what's cool is do styling based on like 01:50:02.899 --> 01:50:06.720 regex and stuff so you can say show for regex 01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:09.359 of is if we want to turn this green we can say 01:50:09.359 --> 01:50:12.500 set text and then green and then i'll do a global 01:50:12.500 --> 01:50:15.520 regex on the file and render all those as green 01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:17.680 and you could really do anything with this you 01:50:17.680 --> 01:50:19.960 could transform it in any way you want which 01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:24.600 is really powerful and is this types more human 01:50:24.600 --> 01:50:27.939 friendly the language itself because i did remember 01:50:27.939 --> 01:50:32.300 using latex or math back in school and to type 01:50:32.300 --> 01:50:36.579 a formula it was a pain in the you know just 01:50:36.579 --> 01:50:41.180 fractions i don't remember the exact um you have 01:50:41.180 --> 01:50:45.319 to backslash frag yeah yeah it's bad uh it it 01:50:45.319 --> 01:50:47.859 is definitely this is beyond the scripting like 01:50:47.859 --> 01:50:50.659 similar to markdown you also have headings and 01:50:50.659 --> 01:50:54.079 stuff so you can do stuff like that define headings 01:50:54.079 --> 01:50:55.939 with equal sign which is a little weird i don't 01:50:55.939 --> 01:50:57.899 know why they swapped equal sign and hashtag 01:50:57.899 --> 01:51:01.520 but and then math is like say that i want like 01:51:01.520 --> 01:51:05.460 a summation i could do like that uh for the summation 01:51:05.460 --> 01:51:08.119 symbol and then to get subscript pretty easy 01:51:08.119 --> 01:51:10.520 like i could do n equals zero and then to get 01:51:10.520 --> 01:51:12.880 superscript let's say we want to go to n you 01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:15.840 just do the little carrot then we've got that 01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:18.479 looks a little strange i'm not sure exactly why 01:51:19.479 --> 01:51:23.000 Maybe we need to surround in parentheses here. 01:51:26.659 --> 01:51:32.600 That. Oh, there we go. Yeah. That's still slightly 01:51:32.600 --> 01:51:35.520 strange. I guess maybe multi -line math. I haven't 01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:38.739 done a sum in a while, but you can also do stuff 01:51:38.739 --> 01:51:43.680 like, say, an integral. Check, actually, that 01:51:43.680 --> 01:51:51.550 my LSP is integral. yeah from i don't know zero 01:51:51.550 --> 01:51:57.010 to a hundred and then give you a nice and then 01:51:57.010 --> 01:51:59.449 fractions are also as opposed to the backslash 01:51:59.449 --> 01:52:02.529 you can just do like a over b and then it'll 01:52:02.529 --> 01:52:07.170 and that's it yeah that's quite cool yeah it's 01:52:07.170 --> 01:52:09.130 exactly like you would you would think it would 01:52:09.130 --> 01:52:13.329 be so super nice for typing out math what a professional 01:52:13.329 --> 01:52:16.590 writer you know just like a book writer benefit 01:52:17.340 --> 01:52:20.319 of using types do you have an idea or is it more 01:52:20.319 --> 01:52:23.340 oriented to math people and people that need 01:52:23.340 --> 01:52:27.140 a lot of formulas and stuff oh it's totally like 01:52:27.140 --> 01:52:29.680 for anyone especially writers actually if you 01:52:29.680 --> 01:52:32.619 go to types not types .app i guess types universe 01:52:32.619 --> 01:52:36.199 uh is a good source you can see all the kind 01:52:36.199 --> 01:52:38.659 of plugins people have written for this so there 01:52:38.659 --> 01:52:42.159 is like you can see like quantum circuit diagrams 01:52:42.159 --> 01:52:46.020 here so i mean this is like math people but you 01:52:46.020 --> 01:52:49.739 can also electronic stuff as well right yeah 01:52:49.739 --> 01:52:53.000 and like a lot of people use resumes which is 01:52:53.000 --> 01:52:54.760 great because you can just kind of use a config 01:52:54.760 --> 01:52:56.739 file and plug in your stuff and then it like 01:52:56.739 --> 01:52:58.899 auto fills everything into the resume for you 01:52:58.899 --> 01:53:04.039 that's a great use for it yeah and it's got it's 01:53:04.039 --> 01:53:08.189 got great like layouting for any kind of i don't 01:53:08.189 --> 01:53:10.449 know i've used it also in the past for presentations 01:53:10.449 --> 01:53:12.930 because you can set the page size to anything 01:53:12.930 --> 01:53:15.229 you want so you can just kind of auto generate 01:53:15.229 --> 01:53:17.789 and you can see all they do is like type basically 01:53:17.789 --> 01:53:20.890 markdown headings and it generates the powerpoint 01:53:20.890 --> 01:53:26.329 presentation for you can you do like um have 01:53:26.329 --> 01:53:30.350 you heard about plans uml like the diagrams uh 01:53:30.350 --> 01:53:44.220 uml yeah um What field is it for? Let me show 01:53:44.220 --> 01:53:48.300 you here real quick. There's this thing. Am I 01:53:48.300 --> 01:53:49.779 good to go back to this tab? I don't want to. 01:53:50.159 --> 01:53:52.899 Hold on. Let me switch here. There. There we 01:53:52.899 --> 01:53:59.619 go. So here, let me switch. It's just diagrams. 01:54:00.260 --> 01:54:05.449 Let me minimize this. class diagram for example 01:54:05.449 --> 01:54:08.750 notice that they have examples here for classes 01:54:08.750 --> 01:54:13.810 they have them listed here uml related stuff 01:54:13.810 --> 01:54:17.289 computer science gotcha gotcha yes yeah there 01:54:17.289 --> 01:54:19.409 there is a package for that i've had to do that 01:54:19.409 --> 01:54:23.170 in the past oh so you can do that there as well 01:54:23.170 --> 01:54:27.220 right You can pretty much, there's one package 01:54:27.220 --> 01:54:29.500 that everyone uses called Fletcher that lets 01:54:29.500 --> 01:54:32.159 you draw anything. And people build all these 01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:35.960 plugins on top of that. And yeah, there's really, 01:54:36.119 --> 01:54:41.439 you can pretty much do anything. I think maybe 01:54:41.439 --> 01:54:47.000 Fletcher's, yeah, it supports any kind of arbitrary 01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:51.079 diagram. Like there's a whole syntax for. Interesting. 01:54:51.420 --> 01:54:55.579 There's a lot of stuff then. Okay. Okay. It can 01:54:55.579 --> 01:54:57.699 pretty much, and people have made like 3D games 01:54:57.699 --> 01:55:00.960 and PDFs with this. It's like capable of doing 01:55:00.960 --> 01:55:04.300 anything pretty much. Okay. So anyone then can 01:55:04.300 --> 01:55:07.840 use type. Is this not just for math people? It's 01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:11.960 just for book writers, everyone in general then? 01:55:12.979 --> 01:55:15.899 Yeah. I never use anything like Google Docs anymore. 01:55:15.979 --> 01:55:17.819 I'm doing all my writing in types and then I 01:55:17.819 --> 01:55:20.359 just, because you can export it to a PDF and 01:55:20.359 --> 01:55:22.020 it's really fast. You can send it to anyone. 01:55:22.619 --> 01:55:29.000 Oh. Awesome. Okay. I switched to our screen. 01:55:29.220 --> 01:55:33.239 Do you want to show something else in there? 01:55:33.899 --> 01:55:37.520 Maybe a bit more. Is there anything you're curious 01:55:37.520 --> 01:55:40.159 about in terms of my workflow? Or I'm happy to 01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:44.319 talk about whatever. I was interested in that 01:55:44.319 --> 01:55:47.960 type because I've been wanting to learn LaTeX, 01:55:48.000 --> 01:55:52.640 but the small. experience I had with it, I was 01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:55.600 like, no, man, I just don't like typing all these 01:55:55.600 --> 01:55:58.840 brackets or curly braces. No, it's just like, 01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:03.960 no. But I do see the appeal. So it's quite nice. 01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:09.380 Let's see. If we need to share something on your 01:56:09.380 --> 01:56:13.619 screen, we can switch to it at any time. I had 01:56:13.619 --> 01:56:16.239 a question as well. Because you're working as 01:56:16.239 --> 01:56:20.560 an intern at one or multiple companies. Has that 01:56:20.560 --> 01:56:25.159 benefit, have you learned a lot of stuff from 01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:27.319 that experience, you know, working as an intern? 01:56:27.460 --> 01:56:31.579 How has your experience been? I definitely have. 01:56:31.779 --> 01:56:36.060 I'll say that it's a very different area than 01:56:36.060 --> 01:56:38.439 I worked in before. I've done a lot of math and 01:56:38.439 --> 01:56:40.659 a lot of kind of theoretical programming. And 01:56:40.659 --> 01:56:43.350 also I spent a lot of time on. like workflow 01:56:43.350 --> 01:56:46.430 stuff, of course, too. But it's really what we 01:56:46.430 --> 01:56:48.989 do there is like a lot of DevOps. It's like a 01:56:48.989 --> 01:56:53.329 lot of Docker and just kind of standard setting 01:56:53.329 --> 01:56:55.810 up fast APIs, setting up AWS infrastructure, 01:56:56.390 --> 01:56:59.750 setting up all that kind of stuff. It's very 01:56:59.750 --> 01:57:03.229 it's like the same thing over and over again, 01:57:03.329 --> 01:57:07.310 the same react templates, the same stuff. I don't 01:57:07.310 --> 01:57:09.350 love it, to be honest. Like it's not something 01:57:09.350 --> 01:57:11.930 I want to do long term because it just it seems 01:57:11.930 --> 01:57:14.250 like it's something that ai can replace that 01:57:14.250 --> 01:57:17.510 kind of work that's so repetitive i wish i was 01:57:17.510 --> 01:57:20.310 doing like more deep down server architecture 01:57:20.310 --> 01:57:24.050 that would be cool but there is i'm also working 01:57:24.050 --> 01:57:28.670 as like a researcher on on vascular surgery um 01:57:28.670 --> 01:57:34.069 and that's like we use a super computer to to 01:57:34.069 --> 01:57:37.489 train an llm or not an llm but like a conventional 01:57:37.489 --> 01:57:40.500 neural network i guess And that job experience 01:57:40.500 --> 01:57:43.659 has definitely been a lot better. I've definitely 01:57:43.659 --> 01:57:46.600 done a lot more AI than I thought I would in 01:57:46.600 --> 01:57:48.640 both of these jobs, which I guess it's the hype 01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:51.020 thing everywhere. But I'm kind of over it. I'm 01:57:51.020 --> 01:57:54.880 kind of sick of AI, to be honest. Yeah. Do you 01:57:54.880 --> 01:57:57.880 use AI a lot? How do you use it? What tools do 01:57:57.880 --> 01:58:03.250 you use? What AI tools? I don't use any AI anymore. 01:58:03.510 --> 01:58:06.909 I do at work sometimes, like we use cloud code 01:58:06.909 --> 01:58:10.970 a lot. And that's just because it's like they 01:58:10.970 --> 01:58:13.529 have big component libraries, right? And like 01:58:13.529 --> 01:58:16.109 templates, ways they do things. And in that sense, 01:58:16.170 --> 01:58:19.109 it's just a lot easier to use AI. But for me, 01:58:19.149 --> 01:58:24.630 like my job is a student. That's like literally 01:58:24.630 --> 01:58:26.750 my job is to learn as a student. That's what 01:58:26.750 --> 01:58:29.329 you're supposed to do. And people who are using 01:58:29.329 --> 01:58:31.729 AI very early in their career to try to get ahead, 01:58:31.890 --> 01:58:35.069 like you are not a startup founder. You're not 01:58:35.069 --> 01:58:38.550 like an engineer yet. Your job is to become one. 01:58:38.689 --> 01:58:41.069 And people doing that are just absolutely depriving 01:58:41.069 --> 01:58:44.529 themselves. There's no like debate, does it make 01:58:44.529 --> 01:58:47.390 you faster? You're just crippling your learning 01:58:47.390 --> 01:58:49.970 if you're using AI to code. So I don't do it 01:58:49.970 --> 01:58:51.569 at all. I'm actually, I'm working on turning 01:58:51.569 --> 01:58:54.609 off my LSP. completely just so I'm trying to 01:58:54.609 --> 01:58:58.170 memorize like the all the language keywords like 01:58:58.170 --> 01:59:01.470 the method names for standard libraries just 01:59:01.470 --> 01:59:04.770 because I think the counter to AI is just going 01:59:04.770 --> 01:59:07.649 crazy the other direction and using everything 01:59:07.649 --> 01:59:11.489 like analog my other my other take on this is 01:59:11.489 --> 01:59:14.590 people say it'll replace your job right it'll 01:59:14.590 --> 01:59:19.670 this career is over and Even if that happens, 01:59:19.869 --> 01:59:22.090 let's say best case, we get super intelligent 01:59:22.090 --> 01:59:26.050 AI and it replaces all of us. Then what do you 01:59:26.050 --> 01:59:29.250 do with your life? People say, oh, it'll save 01:59:29.250 --> 01:59:31.029 us so much time. We won't have to do stuff. We 01:59:31.029 --> 01:59:35.289 can get back to problem solving. If all your 01:59:35.289 --> 01:59:37.250 problems are solved for you, what are you going 01:59:37.250 --> 01:59:40.210 to do? Go jerk off for the rest of time? The 01:59:40.210 --> 01:59:43.569 best part of your life is figuring out problems. 01:59:44.409 --> 01:59:46.170 all problems are solved. I'm still going to be 01:59:46.170 --> 01:59:48.609 working on film stuff. Cause that's just what 01:59:48.609 --> 01:59:50.609 I enjoy. Like there's, we're just going to sit 01:59:50.609 --> 01:59:54.189 there like watching content and doing nothing 01:59:54.189 --> 01:59:56.770 forever. It doesn't matter. Even if the career 01:59:56.770 --> 01:59:58.670 is over, I don't care. I'm still doing it the 01:59:58.670 --> 02:00:01.250 old way. Cause what other purpose is there in 02:00:01.250 --> 02:00:07.789 life? Yeah. I mean, yeah. Good point there. I 02:00:07.789 --> 02:00:13.699 don't know, man. It's. complicated but yeah if 02:00:13.699 --> 02:00:15.779 you're trying to learn and if you're using ai 02:00:15.779 --> 02:00:19.800 it's just definitely not not worth it do you 02:00:19.800 --> 02:00:22.439 still use udemy to learn stuff or you just left 02:00:22.439 --> 02:00:25.760 that in the past i kind of left that in the past 02:00:25.760 --> 02:00:28.220 i don't really because now that i'm in school 02:00:28.220 --> 02:00:31.239 right that's like udemy but but you're paying 02:00:31.239 --> 02:00:34.260 like ridiculously over the top amounts of money 02:00:34.260 --> 02:00:39.029 for it and Yeah, I guess I'm just in a different 02:00:39.029 --> 02:00:42.149 stage of learning. If I wanted to learn another 02:00:42.149 --> 02:00:44.369 language, would I use Udemy again? I'm not sure. 02:00:44.489 --> 02:00:46.989 I mean, I got that course for like $10 on sale. 02:00:47.850 --> 02:00:51.750 And when you do that, it's good. It kind of commits 02:00:51.750 --> 02:00:54.430 you to going through the whole thing when you 02:00:54.430 --> 02:00:58.289 buy it. But I don't know. Now when I learn stuff, 02:00:58.390 --> 02:01:02.689 it's usually through YouTube. Yeah, definitely. 02:01:06.319 --> 02:01:09.399 What are your thoughts on NeoVim distributions? 02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:15.939 Distro or no distro? Your own config. So I started 02:01:15.939 --> 02:01:19.720 off using a distro. I started out with LunarVim, 02:01:19.760 --> 02:01:24.579 I believe. My problem with it is I kept trying 02:01:24.579 --> 02:01:27.439 to change things about it. And when you're using 02:01:27.439 --> 02:01:29.680 a distro, there's like a weird extra configuration 02:01:29.680 --> 02:01:32.039 layer, you know, where like they've defined their 02:01:32.039 --> 02:01:34.619 custom setup for everything. So you're going 02:01:34.619 --> 02:01:38.079 through like a weird other API and that's not 02:01:38.079 --> 02:01:40.439 inherently super bad, but you try to Google something 02:01:40.439 --> 02:01:43.260 about how do I fix X issue, you know, and now 02:01:43.260 --> 02:01:44.939 you're looking for like the lunar vim issues 02:01:44.939 --> 02:01:47.859 on GitHub and it's like just impossible to fix 02:01:47.859 --> 02:01:51.020 anything. So. Yeah, after a while, and I felt 02:01:51.020 --> 02:01:53.579 kind of bad. I was like, I'm not fully understanding 02:01:53.579 --> 02:01:56.899 this as much as I could be. And so I decided 02:01:56.899 --> 02:02:01.159 to just go, like, plain, write my own configuration. 02:02:01.300 --> 02:02:04.000 And watching a tutorial from the Primogen, that's 02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:05.800 how I did it the first time, it's really, it 02:02:05.800 --> 02:02:07.739 was not as hard as I thought. I was, like, very 02:02:07.739 --> 02:02:09.960 intimidated by it. But when you write the whole 02:02:09.960 --> 02:02:11.739 thing yourself from the ground up, it's only, 02:02:11.760 --> 02:02:14.380 like, 10 files or something. And if you're writing 02:02:14.380 --> 02:02:16.600 it by hand, you then understand every line. And 02:02:16.600 --> 02:02:19.300 that was huge for... my configuration journey 02:02:19.300 --> 02:02:22.859 for sure. Yeah, I'm still using a distro. I'm 02:02:22.859 --> 02:02:25.680 still using LazyVim, but I 100 % agree, man. 02:02:26.060 --> 02:02:28.760 The first days when I needed to modify something, 02:02:29.180 --> 02:02:32.859 even if it was really small, man, it took me 02:02:32.859 --> 02:02:35.880 a long time. The smallest thing, if I wanted 02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:38.939 to do something with wind bar at the top, man. 02:02:39.899 --> 02:02:44.180 Yeah. Yeah. pretty pretty tough what do you use 02:02:44.180 --> 02:02:46.960 to push to version control do you use lazy git 02:02:46.960 --> 02:02:52.739 or what uh yeah i use lazy git i i'm kind of 02:02:52.739 --> 02:02:56.500 um not sure git is something i haven't put all 02:02:56.500 --> 02:02:58.720 that much time into compared to vim at least 02:02:58.720 --> 02:03:01.520 and i kind of feel like i should put more time 02:03:01.520 --> 02:03:03.859 into it because i use lazy git it's okay but 02:03:03.859 --> 02:03:05.979 i'm not i'm not a master of it you know i know 02:03:05.979 --> 02:03:09.630 the basics But there's other things. I feel like 02:03:09.630 --> 02:03:11.590 I could either spend more time configuring and 02:03:11.590 --> 02:03:13.609 learning Lazy Git, or I could find some other 02:03:13.609 --> 02:03:16.609 plugin. There's an endless amount of them. There's 02:03:16.609 --> 02:03:21.630 some built into Vim. There's Git UI. And yeah, 02:03:21.670 --> 02:03:24.270 raw Git, that's a great point. I do raw Git a 02:03:24.270 --> 02:03:27.869 lot of the time. If you just git commit dash 02:03:27.869 --> 02:03:30.149 a for the ad, it's pretty ergonomic, honestly. 02:03:30.670 --> 02:03:35.880 But there is, I don't know. Not super qualified 02:03:35.880 --> 02:03:37.579 to talk about the advanced stuff, right? Because 02:03:37.579 --> 02:03:41.100 my use case is like ad commit push. Once in a 02:03:41.100 --> 02:03:43.119 while, I'll have a branch. I'm not someone who's 02:03:43.119 --> 02:03:46.140 like 20 branches, interactive rebase, cherry 02:03:46.140 --> 02:03:49.579 pick, using Git archive to rip things up. I'm 02:03:49.579 --> 02:03:52.640 not doing that. So it's not something I've put 02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:56.079 a ton of effort into. If I ever am at a job where 02:03:56.079 --> 02:04:00.460 it's like a huge project with many branches, 02:04:00.560 --> 02:04:03.779 then I'll definitely have to look at it. Yeah, 02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:05.920 just lazy git for me for now. No configuration, 02:04:06.300 --> 02:04:11.020 vanilla. Okay. Yeah, me too. Lazy git. I'm not 02:04:11.020 --> 02:04:14.079 a git expert. I did it with commands for a few 02:04:14.079 --> 02:04:16.260 times, but I just got tired of them, you know, 02:04:16.260 --> 02:04:20.619 because it was only, oh, nah. And I'm just, I 02:04:20.619 --> 02:04:23.239 got used to lazy git because I'm lazy, you know? 02:04:23.260 --> 02:04:25.819 So I just like opening up lazy git, going through 02:04:25.819 --> 02:04:29.000 my different changes. Okay, so this one, stage 02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:32.239 it with a single, you know, key, space, stage 02:04:32.239 --> 02:04:35.619 it. right like the commit message then move on 02:04:35.619 --> 02:04:39.119 to the next one stage it commit message i don't 02:04:39.119 --> 02:04:42.560 know i just find it really intuitive to be honest 02:04:42.560 --> 02:04:46.739 yeah it's especially for staging stuff that's 02:04:46.739 --> 02:04:48.960 where it's really you just want to see like a 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:51.600 view of your file tree really it's like you could 02:04:51.600 --> 02:04:53.720 do get status and then you try to like type in 02:04:53.720 --> 02:04:55.779 the whole directory to add all these things it's 02:04:55.779 --> 02:05:00.289 like oh it's not worth it yeah yeah and what 02:05:00.289 --> 02:05:02.770 terminal are you on by the way are you in ghosty 02:05:02.770 --> 02:05:05.609 did you fall for the height still on alacrity 02:05:05.609 --> 02:05:12.010 no no still rocking alacrity why i should probably 02:05:12.010 --> 02:05:14.689 make a switch at some point but it works for 02:05:14.689 --> 02:05:19.109 me it's it's fast it's gpu accelerated it's i've 02:05:19.109 --> 02:05:20.970 never had any issues with it i can zoom in and 02:05:20.970 --> 02:05:24.390 zoom out it's written in rust i mean my config 02:05:24.390 --> 02:05:28.430 file is simple I guess there are cool things 02:05:28.430 --> 02:05:29.989 you can get, and I've heard a little bit about 02:05:29.989 --> 02:05:33.449 Ghosty and how it's fixing a bunch of stuff, 02:05:33.630 --> 02:05:36.109 but... He's probably busy with better stuff. 02:05:38.069 --> 02:05:43.529 Yeah. Yeah, and also I like the name Alacrity. 02:05:43.630 --> 02:05:46.569 I think it's a cool name. Yeah, I used Alacrity 02:05:46.569 --> 02:05:49.250 for a long time. Well, not a long time, but I 02:05:49.250 --> 02:05:51.989 was pretty happy with it until I decided that 02:05:51.989 --> 02:05:55.310 I want to view images in Nuvem, and I... do the 02:05:55.310 --> 02:05:58.310 images because of my blog post you know just 02:05:58.310 --> 02:06:01.069 right switch here i don't know if you can see 02:06:01.069 --> 02:06:05.489 my screen or not but um yeah i can where do i 02:06:05.489 --> 02:06:10.869 have a file with images let me see um i know 02:06:10.869 --> 02:06:13.529 which one this one like with rising for example 02:06:13.529 --> 02:06:17.210 right so if i bring this up or do i have some 02:06:17.210 --> 02:06:20.909 images Like here, for example, right? I want 02:06:20.909 --> 02:06:23.510 to be able to paste images in there and make 02:06:23.510 --> 02:06:26.489 sure that I have the right image. So I don't 02:06:26.489 --> 02:06:33.069 know. I just got used to that. I wanted to do 02:06:33.069 --> 02:06:35.869 it in any of them, right? I couldn't do it in 02:06:35.869 --> 02:06:37.829 Alacrity because it does not support images. 02:06:38.250 --> 02:06:41.789 So that is the only reason why I moved away from 02:06:41.789 --> 02:06:46.199 Alacrity, actually. Just images. That's it. Because 02:06:46.199 --> 02:06:49.659 I like the simplicity, you know. I don't like 02:06:49.659 --> 02:06:54.199 tabs. I don't like, yeah, I don't like tabs. 02:06:54.420 --> 02:06:59.739 I use Tmux, so I do everything basically in Tmux. 02:06:59.899 --> 02:07:03.859 But yeah, just precisely for the ability to viewing 02:07:03.859 --> 02:07:06.060 images, that's the only reason I switched to, 02:07:06.180 --> 02:07:10.239 what was it, Kitty, which is great. Man, I didn't 02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:13.260 know about COVID until I interviewed him because 02:07:13.260 --> 02:07:16.300 I had a bad image about him. But the guy's a 02:07:16.300 --> 02:07:19.180 genius. Pretty cool guy, by the way. Have you 02:07:19.180 --> 02:07:23.119 seen a video that I created with him by any chance? 02:07:23.380 --> 02:07:25.399 I haven't watched it. I've seen the thumbnail. 02:07:25.859 --> 02:07:28.579 Yeah, it's a pretty cool dude. I have a bad image 02:07:28.579 --> 02:07:31.380 about him, but it's, man, I'm a fan. I'm a fan 02:07:31.380 --> 02:07:36.520 now. So, Tried Kitty, then moved to, what was 02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:40.579 it? Western? Yeah, Western for like a month. 02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:43.359 Then switched to Ghostie and I'm in Ghostie right 02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:50.020 now. I could use either, you know, Ghosty, Western, 02:07:50.239 --> 02:07:53.960 or Kitty. Same thing. I don't have a reference, 02:07:54.239 --> 02:07:57.300 we could say, but I'm just on Ghosty. I don't 02:07:57.300 --> 02:08:01.899 know. I think it's good. I think same thing for 02:08:01.899 --> 02:08:04.199 me. If someone were to just swap out my terminal 02:08:04.199 --> 02:08:06.739 for Ghosty and the configuration looked exactly 02:08:06.739 --> 02:08:08.420 the same, I wouldn't care. I wouldn't bother 02:08:08.420 --> 02:08:11.000 switching back to Alacrity. It's just like, I 02:08:11.000 --> 02:08:13.880 see no reason to write another configuration 02:08:13.880 --> 02:08:16.939 file to get my same. setup which to be fair is 02:08:16.939 --> 02:08:19.279 super simple it's like a font a color scheme 02:08:19.279 --> 02:08:23.979 that's all i need keybinds to zoom and yeah that's 02:08:23.979 --> 02:08:28.039 that's it yeah so do you use a window manager 02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:33.859 in mac os i use uh yeah aerospace i was using 02:08:33.859 --> 02:08:36.239 you buy back in the good old days of that but 02:08:36.239 --> 02:08:39.100 aerospace came along and like everyone switched 02:08:39.100 --> 02:08:42.310 to it kind of i find sometimes randomly It's 02:08:42.310 --> 02:08:43.949 not perfect. I think it's still in beta. It'll 02:08:43.949 --> 02:08:47.090 just crash, especially certain apps just immediately 02:08:47.090 --> 02:08:50.430 instant crash it for some reason. But you can 02:08:50.430 --> 02:08:53.210 usually just restart it and it's fine. I don't 02:08:53.210 --> 02:08:56.270 a lot of people like you see on rising and stuff. 02:08:56.329 --> 02:08:58.550 They have like five terminals next to each other 02:08:58.550 --> 02:09:01.829 in their browser. I almost never put two windows 02:09:01.829 --> 02:09:04.699 next to each other unless it's like my. my editor 02:09:04.699 --> 02:09:08.140 and my types document preview all i use it for 02:09:08.140 --> 02:09:10.699 is like five spaces you know i have my terminal 02:09:10.699 --> 02:09:14.680 space my spotify my browser and then whatever 02:09:14.680 --> 02:09:18.380 the fourth one for figma or davinci resolve and 02:09:18.380 --> 02:09:20.680 i just i want something that'll keep them in 02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:23.539 the spaces and that's basically all it's for 02:09:23.539 --> 02:09:27.159 and it does its job fine and why did you move 02:09:27.159 --> 02:09:30.000 away from your buy was there a reason or just 02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:35.260 hype I can't remember. Honestly, it was so long 02:09:35.260 --> 02:09:41.479 ago. I think. Yeah, I guess it was just a hype, 02:09:41.579 --> 02:09:46.579 which is not really like me, especially. Yeah. 02:09:46.979 --> 02:09:50.579 Yeah. Okay. Okay. Do you use a single monitor? 02:09:50.680 --> 02:09:52.720 Are you a single monitor or multiple monitor 02:09:52.720 --> 02:09:56.060 person? What are your thoughts there? I've been 02:09:56.060 --> 02:09:59.680 on my laptop for probably two years now. I used 02:09:59.680 --> 02:10:04.850 to use a desktop and then. I had my laptop and 02:10:04.850 --> 02:10:08.710 a monitor, so kind of two monitors. But now that 02:10:08.710 --> 02:10:11.689 I travel so much and when I'm in school, I kind 02:10:11.689 --> 02:10:14.649 of like to just do work in our library and stuff. 02:10:15.750 --> 02:10:18.949 I just don't really have a need for multiple 02:10:18.949 --> 02:10:24.090 monitors, to be honest. I can somewhat see the 02:10:24.090 --> 02:10:26.149 appeal, but I kind of just want to focus on one 02:10:26.149 --> 02:10:29.729 thing at a time, just a window of code. Yeah, 02:10:29.770 --> 02:10:33.170 same here. Do you use a special keyboard? What 02:10:33.170 --> 02:10:37.609 do you use? Do you use a split one? I do. Not 02:10:37.609 --> 02:10:40.050 currently. I'm just using my laptop's keyboard. 02:10:40.850 --> 02:10:44.289 But I was using, you know, the Ferris sweep. 02:10:44.590 --> 02:10:47.329 Yeah. Why so serious? He's a guy on Discord that 02:10:47.329 --> 02:10:49.710 is always telling me to use that Ferris. But 02:10:49.710 --> 02:10:53.619 man, it's just too... I would miss keys. You 02:10:53.619 --> 02:10:56.899 have to do the Naruto combos just to be able 02:10:56.899 --> 02:11:00.039 to type a caps, just an uppercase letter, like 02:11:00.039 --> 02:11:03.399 four keys to type an uppercase letter. How was 02:11:03.399 --> 02:11:06.720 your experience with that, with the Ferris? Like 02:11:06.720 --> 02:11:10.579 you were saying, yeah, definitely. I spent a 02:11:10.579 --> 02:11:13.220 long time figuring out all my homeroom mods and 02:11:13.220 --> 02:11:14.880 stuff, and I tried to make it very efficient. 02:11:15.119 --> 02:11:19.640 I used it for a long time. I started to realize, 02:11:19.699 --> 02:11:22.220 like, I used my laptop keyboard for school because 02:11:22.220 --> 02:11:23.880 I don't want to be bringing that around, especially 02:11:23.880 --> 02:11:28.979 if, like, girls are going to see it. So, yeah, 02:11:29.119 --> 02:11:31.680 I switched to the laptop keyboard. And the laptop 02:11:31.680 --> 02:11:37.100 keyboard is, like, it's fine. It has some problems. 02:11:37.220 --> 02:11:39.119 Like, typing numbers and symbols is a little 02:11:39.119 --> 02:11:41.699 bit awkward compared to, like, a split keyboard 02:11:41.699 --> 02:11:43.960 where they're right there. But I just started 02:11:43.960 --> 02:11:46.300 to realize, like, no layers is kind of the move. 02:11:47.699 --> 02:11:50.140 You can be really fast on a normal keyboard. 02:11:50.399 --> 02:11:53.520 There are QWERTY typists that do 180 to 200 on 02:11:53.520 --> 02:11:57.579 a normal keyboard. And all that layer switching, 02:11:57.779 --> 02:12:00.300 it did definitely help. It felt really good to 02:12:00.300 --> 02:12:03.699 type on. But I went back to it, and I was programming 02:12:03.699 --> 02:12:07.539 and typing special symbols like curly brackets 02:12:07.539 --> 02:12:10.460 and all that. And just feeling all the constant 02:12:10.460 --> 02:12:12.819 layer switching and the small delays from the 02:12:12.819 --> 02:12:17.350 home row mods, it really like... It didn't feel 02:12:17.350 --> 02:12:20.409 bad at all before, but after the contrast from 02:12:20.409 --> 02:12:22.930 the laptop keyboard, like nothing at all, no 02:12:22.930 --> 02:12:25.909 homer mods, it felt really sluggish. So I'm kind 02:12:25.909 --> 02:12:28.850 of thinking like, I kind of want to go back to 02:12:28.850 --> 02:12:31.310 a split keyboard. I like them, but maybe I'll 02:12:31.310 --> 02:12:33.609 use something bigger. Like you have, I don't 02:12:33.609 --> 02:12:36.170 know, maybe a Kinesis or Moonlander kind of sized 02:12:36.170 --> 02:12:39.869 keyboard. Just the Ferris sweep is really cool 02:12:39.869 --> 02:12:42.090 looking and it was fun to build and stuff too. 02:12:42.130 --> 02:12:46.140 And it's fun to program, but. It's just so small. 02:12:46.359 --> 02:12:51.420 You have to really have your layers down to a 02:12:51.420 --> 02:12:55.000 science or else it can be kind of tough to use. 02:12:55.439 --> 02:12:58.640 Yeah. It's just because of the row on the sides 02:12:58.640 --> 02:13:00.880 that is missing, right? Because I used the dedicated 02:13:00.880 --> 02:13:05.600 shift keys. I didn't get used to the shift on 02:13:05.600 --> 02:13:10.340 the home row mods because of the delay. And it's 02:13:10.340 --> 02:13:13.020 like you have to wait that delay to type shift. 02:13:13.100 --> 02:13:15.989 No, just move. shift back to its dedicated key 02:13:15.989 --> 02:13:19.970 on the on the pinkies but now on this one i'm 02:13:19.970 --> 02:13:23.550 using only um because it has 80 keys in total 02:13:23.550 --> 02:13:27.210 right so i'm just using 40 keys so there's a 02:13:27.210 --> 02:13:31.630 keyboard that came out um where is it hold on 02:13:31.630 --> 02:13:38.420 where can i find it let me see There's a lot 02:13:38.420 --> 02:13:40.779 more people doing this now. I remember back when 02:13:40.779 --> 02:13:43.739 I built my Ferris sweep, like the subreddit for 02:13:43.739 --> 02:13:45.920 these keyboards was really small. It was kind 02:13:45.920 --> 02:13:48.380 of rare to see people post. And now whenever 02:13:48.380 --> 02:13:50.819 I like go on Reddit by accident, I just see like 02:13:50.819 --> 02:13:53.359 20 posts from the subreddit. Like everyone is 02:13:53.359 --> 02:13:56.920 doing this. Yeah. A lot of people. Yeah. Ferris, 02:13:56.920 --> 02:14:04.600 I think it's a popular one, right? Yeah. Let's 02:14:04.600 --> 02:14:07.279 see this one. Let me show this to you real quick. 02:14:08.640 --> 02:14:12.199 I'm going to switch to my screen right now. Here. 02:14:12.539 --> 02:14:17.680 I pre -order it. Oh, I feel like I have seen 02:14:17.680 --> 02:14:21.140 that. Yeah. Yeah. Because it has the keys that 02:14:21.140 --> 02:14:23.800 I need on the side here, right? For my pinky. 02:14:23.939 --> 02:14:26.859 I'm using just 40 keys in total. This one has 02:14:26.859 --> 02:14:30.050 42, whatever. So I'm not going to use. one of 02:14:30.050 --> 02:14:32.510 these in the thumb i'm just using two in the 02:14:32.510 --> 02:14:35.930 thumb and why because i have the exact same layout 02:14:35.930 --> 02:14:39.529 on my macbook keyboard right so i'm using the 02:14:39.529 --> 02:14:42.510 space bar and just two keys on the macbook keyboard 02:14:42.510 --> 02:14:46.789 the the ones next to the thumb so the left one 02:14:46.789 --> 02:14:50.970 is backspace and the right thumb is enter on 02:14:50.970 --> 02:14:55.770 my macbook the built -in keyboard right so i 02:14:55.770 --> 02:14:58.470 have the same experience on the macbook keyboard 02:14:59.210 --> 02:15:03.609 and in the glove 80 but um i have too many keys 02:15:03.609 --> 02:15:07.430 now i need 40 and that's it i've been using 40 02:15:07.430 --> 02:15:11.750 for like a month now i got used to it um pre 02:15:11.750 --> 02:15:14.810 -order this one and i'll see how it goes because 02:15:14.810 --> 02:15:19.130 i just don't i miss my my small apple keyboard 02:15:19.130 --> 02:15:24.289 and uh yeah it was soft i was fast on that keyboard 02:15:24.289 --> 02:15:27.250 you know and um the glove 80 is mechanical the 02:15:27.250 --> 02:15:30.329 switches are taller So I just look at the difference 02:15:30.329 --> 02:15:34.569 and this one is quite flat. So I want to test 02:15:34.569 --> 02:15:38.250 that out and see how it works. See if it's any 02:15:38.250 --> 02:15:41.569 better. Yeah, I'm curious to see. Because I really 02:15:41.569 --> 02:15:44.250 like the MacBook keyboard switches. They're just 02:15:44.250 --> 02:15:48.289 really fast. Yeah, the external one. That's the 02:15:48.289 --> 02:15:50.350 one that I like, the Magic Keyboard switches, 02:15:50.670 --> 02:15:55.449 man. So this seems like a good option. It doesn't 02:15:55.449 --> 02:15:59.100 feel like a MacBook keyboard, they said. I will 02:15:59.100 --> 02:16:01.680 not know until I try it out. You use QWERTY? 02:16:02.720 --> 02:16:09.479 No, I use Colmac DH. Oh, yeah? Why? It was a 02:16:09.479 --> 02:16:12.880 while ago. I had already done Vim and stuff, 02:16:13.119 --> 02:16:17.899 and I thought... I guess I probably saw a YouTube 02:16:17.899 --> 02:16:20.640 video. That's usually how it goes. I'm not exactly 02:16:20.640 --> 02:16:24.449 sure why, but yeah, I remember... I had been 02:16:24.449 --> 02:16:26.289 thinking about it for a while and I was like, 02:16:26.390 --> 02:16:28.470 okay, I learned Vim. That's really hard. I can 02:16:28.470 --> 02:16:31.850 definitely do this. It'll probably be, it'll, 02:16:31.850 --> 02:16:35.909 it'll pay off in the long run. And so I, I did 02:16:35.909 --> 02:16:37.950 it in two days, actually went from zero to 80 02:16:37.950 --> 02:16:41.309 words per minute. Oh, really? Practicing really, 02:16:41.309 --> 02:16:44.329 really hard. Yeah. So I switched right over. 02:16:44.590 --> 02:16:47.629 I actually pried off all my MacBook keys on my 02:16:47.629 --> 02:16:52.450 old MacBook and rearranged them, which. It was 02:16:52.450 --> 02:16:54.489 probably not smart at all. That totally voids 02:16:54.489 --> 02:16:57.530 the warranty, but I don't really care. I didn't 02:16:57.530 --> 02:16:59.110 do that on the new one. I asked if they would 02:16:59.110 --> 02:17:03.569 do it and they said, hold on. It doesn't matter. 02:17:03.649 --> 02:17:06.809 I don't look at the keyboard. Yeah. And how do 02:17:06.809 --> 02:17:09.870 you feel when you move to a non -Colemac keyboard? 02:17:10.250 --> 02:17:13.889 Do you find it really difficult? I never use 02:17:13.889 --> 02:17:16.530 a non -Colemac keyboard. I never have to. no 02:17:16.530 --> 02:17:19.350 i look at my job like it was set up like that 02:17:19.350 --> 02:17:21.729 i just immediately installed uh what's there's 02:17:21.729 --> 02:17:24.870 a windows version of like hotkeys i think yeah 02:17:24.870 --> 02:17:31.209 yeah yeah and i think a lot of people kind of 02:17:31.209 --> 02:17:34.450 oversell it they're like these keyboard layouts 02:17:34.450 --> 02:17:36.569 the ergonomic ones aren't they're not going to 02:17:36.569 --> 02:17:39.129 make you crazy fast but they do feel very comfortable 02:17:39.129 --> 02:17:42.110 like you just start typing words and it's it 02:17:42.110 --> 02:17:45.309 just feels correct it's like Everything is right 02:17:45.309 --> 02:17:50.530 where it should be. So, okay. Makes it more comfortable 02:17:50.530 --> 02:17:57.010 then. Okay. Let's see. Moving on to the final 02:17:57.010 --> 02:18:00.750 topics that I want to discuss. Are there two 02:18:00.750 --> 02:18:03.430 bands that you would like to recommend or that 02:18:03.430 --> 02:18:08.030 you enjoy listening to? Oh, that's a great question 02:18:08.030 --> 02:18:11.010 because there's just so many out there. I listen 02:18:11.010 --> 02:18:16.329 to so many different kinds of music. um i guess 02:18:16.329 --> 02:18:18.450 i also kind of consider it like i don't want 02:18:18.450 --> 02:18:21.670 to recommend uh mainstream music because they 02:18:21.670 --> 02:18:24.489 already have enough promotion yeah yeah and you're 02:18:24.489 --> 02:18:27.909 a contrarian you're a contrarian so of course 02:18:27.909 --> 02:18:35.969 right yeah um recently i guess my friend i'm 02:18:35.969 --> 02:18:38.049 a friend who's really into like psychedelia kind 02:18:38.049 --> 02:18:42.639 of music um And he gave me a recommendation from 02:18:42.639 --> 02:18:49.319 a guy called Mr. Finn. It was an album. I'm not 02:18:49.319 --> 02:18:52.200 sure what the album is called. I know the title 02:18:52.200 --> 02:18:56.840 track is called Lucid Lucy. It's psychedelic 02:18:56.840 --> 02:18:59.920 Australian guitar. Very small on Spotify. He 02:18:59.920 --> 02:19:02.979 only has a few thousand monthly listeners. But 02:19:02.979 --> 02:19:08.479 yeah, just an absolute excellent psychedelic 02:19:08.479 --> 02:19:13.840 music. okay and i guess i guess the other one 02:19:13.840 --> 02:19:18.799 is my friend and i are really into like the traditional 02:19:18.799 --> 02:19:21.079 music of the quebecois people like the french 02:19:21.079 --> 02:19:25.299 quebec um and there's one band called levante 02:19:25.299 --> 02:19:29.219 nord which is i guess translates to the north 02:19:29.219 --> 02:19:32.200 wind wind of the north and they make also really 02:19:32.200 --> 02:19:34.860 good music i think My friend and I, every day 02:19:34.860 --> 02:19:37.120 when we went to the gym, we'd listen to these. 02:19:37.200 --> 02:19:41.139 We probably like top 0 .001 % for Levanta Nord. 02:19:42.139 --> 02:19:46.340 So I would say them. Okay, awesome. And are you 02:19:46.340 --> 02:19:50.840 into movies, Manichans, or no? Not hugely, to 02:19:50.840 --> 02:19:54.040 be honest. I don't watch a ton of stuff. Especially 02:19:54.040 --> 02:19:58.399 stuff that comes out now. There are definitely 02:19:58.399 --> 02:20:04.319 movies I love. any kind of thing in like, like 02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:08.500 Marvel or any big Disney kind of thing is just 02:20:08.500 --> 02:20:13.819 like, I cannot palette at all. Yeah. Yeah. So 02:20:13.819 --> 02:20:17.600 I, I do like movies that definitely like on the 02:20:17.600 --> 02:20:20.500 older side, there are some great classic movies. 02:20:21.620 --> 02:20:24.780 Um, silence of the lambs is a really good movie. 02:20:26.200 --> 02:20:32.870 They, um, Anything from Studio Ghibli, if you 02:20:32.870 --> 02:20:36.909 know them. Yep. Ponyo and, yeah, my daughter 02:20:36.909 --> 02:20:40.229 watches Ponyo, Totoro, and all of those, right? 02:20:40.930 --> 02:20:45.930 Yeah, I grew up on those movies. Yeah, awesome. 02:20:46.149 --> 02:20:50.170 Are you into video games or not anymore? Not 02:20:50.170 --> 02:20:53.729 anymore. Like, I was definitely hugely when I 02:20:53.729 --> 02:20:57.850 was, like, younger teenager, right? But now I 02:20:57.850 --> 02:21:00.860 just, like, have... i'm just interested in other 02:21:00.860 --> 02:21:04.420 things i once in a while i'll go and play like 02:21:04.420 --> 02:21:08.760 an indie mobile game like i really i find games 02:21:08.760 --> 02:21:11.799 that are like very not not gameplay focused not 02:21:11.799 --> 02:21:15.079 like multiplayer fun just like an art experience 02:21:15.079 --> 02:21:17.379 you know like a puzzle game maybe the gameplay 02:21:17.379 --> 02:21:20.239 isn't the best but it's like there's a ton of 02:21:20.239 --> 02:21:23.219 really cool art going on here the the monument 02:21:23.219 --> 02:21:25.319 valley games i don't know if you've heard of 02:21:25.319 --> 02:21:29.639 those or like puzzle games but they have They 02:21:29.639 --> 02:21:32.879 use like impossible geometry, like a lot of optical 02:21:32.879 --> 02:21:35.299 illusions, a lot of like impossible shapes that 02:21:35.299 --> 02:21:40.219 you're walking over. And anything by the studio 02:21:40.219 --> 02:21:42.319 Playdead, they're like a Finnish game company 02:21:42.319 --> 02:21:45.639 or Norwegian maybe. They made a game called Limbo, 02:21:45.719 --> 02:21:48.620 which is like a black and white horror game. 02:21:49.299 --> 02:21:54.719 And yeah, those indie art games are really, that's 02:21:54.719 --> 02:21:57.780 all I really play anymore. You play them on the 02:21:57.780 --> 02:22:01.459 Mac or? Another computer. Usually just my phone. 02:22:01.799 --> 02:22:04.959 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not into games anymore. I 02:22:04.959 --> 02:22:10.500 was when I was a kid, but I don't feel that excitement 02:22:10.500 --> 02:22:15.280 anymore, you know? Exactly, yeah. Yeah. All right, 02:22:15.340 --> 02:22:19.659 so, man, I really appreciate that. You know, 02:22:19.680 --> 02:22:22.059 we spent, what, two and a half hours? That's 02:22:22.059 --> 02:22:26.670 a lot of time. Good content. Yeah. Thanks for 02:22:26.670 --> 02:22:28.889 sharing with all of us, man. So I just appreciate 02:22:28.889 --> 02:22:31.790 you being here. Thanks. Yeah, for sure. Thanks 02:22:31.790 --> 02:22:35.450 for having me. Yeah. Any final words, anything 02:22:35.450 --> 02:22:39.389 you want to say to wrap it up? I guess I wanted 02:22:39.389 --> 02:22:41.170 to ask you, maybe people have asked this before, 02:22:41.270 --> 02:22:43.930 but what's the deal with your name, Linkarzu? 02:22:43.989 --> 02:22:46.909 I know like part of your last name is in there, 02:22:46.989 --> 02:22:51.899 but what's the story with that? Oh, I just. needed 02:22:51.899 --> 02:22:55.020 to come up with a name that it that was not searchable 02:22:55.020 --> 02:22:57.760 i just searched in google you know because if 02:22:57.760 --> 02:23:00.159 you look it up on google nothing else is gonna 02:23:00.159 --> 02:23:03.139 show up just me basically everywhere you know 02:23:03.139 --> 02:23:06.159 that's smart i see yeah main page images videos 02:23:06.159 --> 02:23:08.659 everything related to me so if you look that 02:23:08.659 --> 02:23:11.680 up it's just gonna be me nothing else no furries 02:23:11.680 --> 02:23:14.319 like the primogen if you look for the primogen 02:23:14.319 --> 02:23:18.600 you're gonna find some uh furry related stuff 02:23:18.600 --> 02:23:21.379 i don't know but uh That was the reason. Link, 02:23:21.500 --> 02:23:23.899 because I used to play Zelda when I was really 02:23:23.899 --> 02:23:27.780 young, a current of time. So I was like, what 02:23:27.780 --> 02:23:31.200 words can I use? What can I use before my last 02:23:31.200 --> 02:23:35.159 name? And that just came up and I just used it. 02:23:35.280 --> 02:23:38.780 But it was basically because of that searchability. 02:23:39.159 --> 02:23:42.139 Yeah. Wow, that's smart. I didn't even think 02:23:42.139 --> 02:23:44.139 of that. But I guess my name is weird enough 02:23:44.139 --> 02:23:47.120 that I'm pretty safe. Yeah. What happens if you 02:23:47.120 --> 02:23:51.329 search? Let's see. Sylvan. Franklin, if I search 02:23:51.329 --> 02:23:58.129 here in Google, it shows up. Yeah, you show up 02:23:58.129 --> 02:24:03.629 at the very top. Your website, YouTube, GitHub, 02:24:03.950 --> 02:24:08.370 you're safe. But there's channels that you don't 02:24:08.370 --> 02:24:12.030 remember. Is it too difficult to remember my 02:24:12.030 --> 02:24:16.290 channel name? Not hugely, no. I think it's pretty 02:24:16.290 --> 02:24:19.799 unique. If it was hard to pronounce, then it 02:24:19.799 --> 02:24:22.319 would maybe be an issue, but those are all syllables 02:24:22.319 --> 02:24:27.299 that are pretty... It jumps out to me. I always 02:24:27.299 --> 02:24:29.659 thought it was a cool -sounding name. Yeah, I 02:24:29.659 --> 02:24:34.500 appreciate it, man. So, Sylvan, thank you very 02:24:34.500 --> 02:24:36.719 much for your time, man. Hope to see you in the 02:24:36.719 --> 02:24:39.360 channel again if we do another collab, maybe 02:24:39.360 --> 02:24:44.719 with... What is this guy's name? Henry Misk. 02:24:45.069 --> 02:24:47.309 you know we can think about something you know 02:24:47.309 --> 02:24:51.809 coming up with an idea and uh you know so i'd 02:24:51.809 --> 02:24:54.149 like to have you here again we'd appreciate it 02:24:54.149 --> 02:24:58.690 man cool man yeah okay talk to you later
