How did this EVER work?!

  • What's the one thing no coder wants to talk about? Chances are, you know a few coders. They're everywhere these days! What you might not know is that most of them have experienced something, well, unexplained: code that works, but shouldn't. At all. It's just part of many programmers' lives. But what's really going on here? How is it that something that never should have worked in the first place works perfectly - sometimes, for years?!

    Zero coding experience - absolutely love this, thanks for sharing that very thought provoking muse. This isn't something one gets to write everyday, but, I found a secret door in a huge boulder about 7 days ago, strangest few days of my life. It seemed for all the world like I'd made it appear as I was wandering around on the hillside daydreaming of digging a cave. Then I found this door, set back in the face of this great megalithic façade.
    I spent 3 days uncovering it... on the third day I eventually decided I was looking at an undiscovered ancient site.
    On the fourth day I suddenly came up with a hypothesis as to how the configuration of stones could have formed naturally.
    Trouble is, I have the distinctly unsettling feeling that, had I not come up with this explanation, I would have been looking at an ancient doorway cut in this boulder and indeed was... but because I came up with this other explanation, I am now just looking at a very uncanny natural formation.
    I think this is exactly what you are describing here... I must admit, I tend not to analyse these things too closely as they fall beyond the bounds of logical reasoning, but, I have a very strong impulsive feeling, through my life - which is backed by some of the most inexplicable experiences of my life - that our mind can indeed effect physical reality in certain states, states of curiously focused... ambivalence, I might say.
    I shall say no more because there is no more, yet there it stands... there is a great deal yet to understand, maybe this is what lies waiting in the unknown beyond relativity and quantum mechanics. Though, understanding such a reality would very likely take more than a successful experiment as any such possibility is such a taboo and I doubt it would be entertained even if replicable experiment proved it so.

    "Well, boss, it worked when I finished writing the code in another reality and a rift in the quantum fabric of the universe merged that commit into my repo here in this reality, but there was a solar flare and that correctly-working extradimensional change got reverted, so we're stuck with my broken version."

    First I found your video most interesting as I was a programmer a long time ago. Second in looking over the comments I think most seamed not to get your point. This should not be surprising as most humans when presented with a problem that the facts do not seam to support the “known norms”, the brain seams to change what we have heard so that it “fits” into our own comfort of what we think is “normal” or explainable. I do not think you will find why the code worked for five years and then did not, but would be very interested to hear more. This was a very interesting video. Keep up the good work.

      This was a great analogy .. to paraphrase .. a lie is the same as "bad code". It might work for a while .. but one day it just won't. You will have noticed all the fanciful color photography of the corona virus. I have a regular high grade Olympus microscope costing in the neighborhood of $1,000 .. with which I can look at your live blood cells under 1,000 magnification. Red blood cells appear as black and white images on the screen. It is supposed to take an Electron Microscope costing $100,000 and up .. to view a virus .. and guess what .. it's also a black and white image!!! That corona virus looks like a floating marine bomb in living color .. but I would be willing to bet .. those promoting the Jab and other fear mongering stuff .. never saw a virus under a scope .. let alone even own a microscope powerful enough to view it. "Trusting the Science" is the same as trusting a scam artist. They are programming us with "bad code" .. lots of monkey business going on!!

    @ericv738 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Probably had something to do with how the code was being read, during execution, in machine code. So we're like 15 levels of abstraction above the language that computers actually need, its possible that something could "work" without any visible logical reason in our high level coding languages. Idk

    I just found your channel. I like the perspective you share and how you think outside the box. There is a saying among programmers: "if it works don't touch it" and I thought about another thing.
    I'm more of an esoteric person (no theist/secular spiritual) and there is this idea of tulpas and egregors. A kind of entity made up by one or more persons as a tale, but it starts to take for. So, programs a code could be the new "tales" of those "tulpas" (programs) and the programmers are the storytellers. It starts to fails because more and more people are questioning that "tulpa" and the general "tale" starts to shift.
    Yes. Mind over matter, but thinks shift if more people thinks other ways. Just like photons, electrons and other subatomic particles.

    I think this is the best case of a machine spirit I've ever heard of, especially with it being code based and suddenly stopping.
    I once had a question, travelled to a temple to ask it, couldn't really find any of the monks to talk about it with,
    randomly talked to a stranger who was just travelling and not even from the same county who had decided to visit and also had a question
    Both accidentally answered each other's question at the same time.
    Ever had that experience of an idea or even a sentence occurs to you and then someone asks a question and your only reply is the thing you're already thinking?
    I know Rupert Sheldrake is studying such things and apparently has contrived various experiments to prove various ideas like thinking of the person who suddenly calls and got results statistically above chance

      Less than an hour ago, I'm reading _The Book of Air_ by Steven Forrest, which is about "paying attention." As I finish the paragraph that goes, "There is a reality in your head and there is another reality out there. The source of most human folly is the belief that the two are the same thing," I decide that I really should get back to the reality of figuring out why the DUALescent LED T8 Universal Hybrid bulb I plug-n-played into my elderly mom's fixture isn't working correctly. So, after a bit of searching, I land on Scottie's "Fluorescent to LED conversion made EASY!" video. Having never heard of Scottie, I next find myself hearing his talk on DNA as a fractal antenna, and now reading your comment here, both of which I'm certain relate to the book I'd pulled my attention from, even though I'm only on page 8 of 507. I better switch back to the reading. (And tomorrow, I'll try snipping out the ballast.)

      I agree, useful.
      But the name is a misnomer. Just like self-guided cars, very sophisticated, very useful, but a lot of refinement is needed. And with most/all new ideas early on it scares some and excites others and consequently lots of assumptions, presumptions, and far-reaching predictions are made.
