Have you ever wandered who is considered the “first engineer”? I currently work as an embedded systems engineer, and I got curious about who could be considered “first”, and the answer was surprisingly complex…🧵

I'm not an expert when it comes to most things, including history or politics. Find out what I'm actually trying to become an expert at by watching my latest video? Eh? Pretty please?

@MMMTwealth Correct me if I’m wrong, but 2nm does not actually mean it’s 2nm in any physical measurement. It’s a marketing term. Simply is “better” than 5. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_proc…

This is a 5nm chip. They can now make 2nm. Technology is crazy. $ASML

@DJSnM @natemcgrady How is this relevant to the question though, are you implying they leave the field bc around age 40 they realize it isn’t “engineering”?

@natemcgrady Anyone over 40 that writes software professionally understands that the majority of software development in no way resembles ‘engineering’

can someone actually tell me why there are no software engineers over 40?

Fintwit loves this chart. But it’s 2 years old and many of the stocks like Netflix and Spotify made a full recovery and are trading at all time highs now.

@3blue1brown Appreciate this

I often prefer to read math than to watch videos on it, especially in reviewing material. For anyone who feels the same, there are now written/illustrated versions of the linear algebra series, thanks to the help of Kurt Bruns. 3blue1brown.com/lessons/eigenv…

GGs played out my last collegiate Val game and probably my last game of Val for a while. I appreciate all my teammates for all the amazing times and everyone we played against. MIZ clan out ✌️

@joecarlsonshow It’s worth noting that I still think Netflix has a great value proposition to the customer, but I do worry the end game for the streaming business as a whole is something that looks “like cable”. OR for it not to look like cable, you’ll be paying bookoo bucks to avoid it.

@joecarlsonshow While I agree Netflix is far from the bad practices of cable, it’s not correct to say Netflix has to reach 99% similarity to cable tv practices for it to be “like cable”. It’s obviously reasonable to be concerned if Netflix becomes 50% like cable, then 60%, 70%.. so on.

I believe that most people who compare streaming to cable must have never really had cable TV. Until Netflix comes and installs a box in your house, that you're required to purchase or pay monthly, just to rent the box, on top of a year-long contract, which you cannot cancel early without penalty, and it's $70/month, and it has 15 minutes of ads per hour, with no ad-free option. And it's in 1080, not 4k. And nothing is on-demand. Until that happens. Streaming is not like Cable.

@eevblog @smartereveryday @Rainmaker1973 @X I don’t even see a good report category option, just checked.

@smartereveryday @Rainmaker1973 @X What happens if it's reported?

I pointed out @Rainmaker1973 stole a friend’s video. @X just letting freebooting happen at this scale is why I don’t post Smarter Every Day videos here yet.

here's the breakdown of my birthday party!

The government doesn’t want the baremetal speed of C/C++ in the hands of every day citizens…it is our civic duty to wonder…why not??? whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-…

The AI behavior guardrails that are set up with prompt engineering and filtering should be public — the creators should proudly stand behind their vision of what is best for society and how they crystallized it into commands and code. I suspect many are actually ashamed. The thousands of tiny nudges encoded by reinforcement learning from human feedback offer a lot more plausible deniability, of course.

if you’re using a debugger and not print statements I want you off my team

ok this is epic

@Drift0r Netflix is proving to be quite profitable. I would agree that the others are on average struggling and will have to make serious changes to compete. Thoughts @joecarlsonshow ?

Streaming services will continue to roll out ads because their fundamental structure is unprofitable
