Every Mistake We've Ever Made (2 Fast 2 Spurious) 

Oooh man HAI's coming in hot with a Saturday upload. Want to make sure we have enough content for next year's mistakes video? We'll, for that we'll need topics in the first place and, let me tell you, the topic mines are not producing the way they used to. The workers are unionizing, the new OSHA standards are screwing us, and cost per unit is skyrocketing. Therefore, we're soliciting topic suggestions from you and, if we use your suggestion, we'll send you a free t-shirt anywhere in the world. Suggest here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

Week 1 of asking for a brick video

As a Dutch person, seeing "hou doe joe spel constituinal" typed into Google made me cackle like a madman.

*_Half as Wendover Productions_*

I don’t think you can really call them mistakes. I’d rather call them happy little accidents

Every Mistake We've Ever Made, part 3: We don't really have 180 people on the staff, it's just myself and the guy from Wendover Productions....

I'm guessing that the good joke writing team takes a lot of time off and the bad joke writing team is overstaffed

If there’s no airplanes, I’m mad

Conspiracy: These mistakes were purposely done and recorded so that HAI could make an extra video.

Bricklaying video when?

“Passive aggressive commenting on bright sides copies of our videos” That’s the team I want to be on

The video title is wrong because it is only about mistakes you made in the second year, not both the first and the second.

Why did you correct a mistake that wasn't a mistake? A 7-bit counter can represent any number between 0-127, not 1-127. You were right the first time :L

I'm pretty sure the password you gave at 1:13 is still more secure, especially because it's actually random with symbols and not just a regular word with standard substitutions. The "more secure" password you give is easier to remember but is just a few words strung together and could probably be dictionary attacked easier. The general advice is to use the first password for one of your regular accounts, and then use the second one with a random character put in there as your password manager password, to throw off the dictionary attack while still being easy to remember.

4:27 I believe the term you are looking for is "mathemagician".

I spilled my coffee from laughing. "hou doe joe spel" is amazing because that could be a screenshot from my mom's phone when she uses Google in English 😅😂 (I'm also Dutch 🇳🇱)

happy birthday mr. plane man

Halloween polar bear video is one of my favorites, therefore not a mistake. Looks like your first correction for next year.

You should do a collab with Wendover Productions. Y'know, the one that likes Toyota Corollas a lot.

@0:44 "Passive-aggressive commenting on brightside copies of our videos team" xD

0:23 “things have changed” Subtitles: “thing have changed”

I highly appreciate channels who do corrections of their mistakes. It shows humbleness, and reinforces trust, while reminding us to stay critical of the things we learn.

With the password it's neither wrong or right. The first password has 12 Characters and uses not only different case letters, it uses special characters. The 2nd password has 16 characters and uses only lowercase. When you know that a password is just lowercase, you can only test for this. With only lowecase but not knowing the length, you end up with 43 and 21 Zeros. 12 Characters can have more possibilities, depending on which Characters you include. A good password form does not exclude any character. My german keyboard can output at least 108 different characters. There are even more. There are some easy combinations like é, ê and so on, some harder ones that apparently does not work with my keyboard (french letters for example like ç) and even harder ones with the ALT combniation like ♣ (ALT + 5). There are a lot of Characters that you can enter and even emojis like 😎 count. You might say that emojis are not so easy to enter on computers but I'm writing this on a computer and i used an emoji addon in firefox. Now is the question how someone cracks a password. First of you need to minimize the possibilities. When you know a password must have at least 8 characters, you don't need to test for 7 or less characters. When you also know which characters are forbidden, you can include that too. Sure you can just include common characters but when the hacker for example forget Umlaute like äöü, germans with such passwords are save. Same with other nationalities, that have different characters, that are very common and also are on the keyboard. Brute forcing a password is just luck based. Whats more common is to use dictionaries and combinate these words. Just look on how few words are in a dictionary. It's way faster to try every word in the dictionary, chaining words, test for casing, include common names, dates and common numbers. To conclude this, when you just brute force both passwords with the same set of chars, longer equals better. Doing this is stupid. People use common phrases to remember easier. In my lifetime i heard some passwords and all where easy to remember. All of these words would be in a password cracking dictionary. This would include the regular dictionaries, list of names, list of series, movies, videogames, list of character names and also adding numbers to the end. Usually people don't mix languages, so this would make it easier. When you can find it in a dictionary or on wikipedia, don't use it as a password. "samthepenguinman" is not a good password. "Sam" is a very common name. "The", "Penguin" and "Man" are common words and should exist in the English dictionary. This password has a length of 4 words and it's like testing against a password with 4 chars, except that there are more words than characters. Unicode 12.1 has 137.929 characters. The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, published in 1989, contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. The best way currently is to generate long passwords with random characters. The only way to crack this password is also just to generate random characters or test it thru (eg. brute force)

I think you missed one mistake. In the: "How a Manhole Cover Became the Fastest Manmade Object Ever" from June 2019, you claimed the Manhole cover is the first man made object to reach space. But the V2 rocket is actually the first man made object to ever reach space. EDIT: V2 not BE. Autocorrect...

That video about the polar bear ruining Halloween is my favorite hai video

how is a video about polar bears throwing over halloween in canada your least viewed video?

I disagree with your first correction, that the jumble of characters isn’t more secure than the four words. That XKCD is itself wrong, as can happen from time to time. The four-word password on the screen would be easy for a dictionary-based attack to guess very quickly. But no dictionary attack would guess the jumble of letters!

That segway into your sponsor ad is hands down the best I've seen on RU-vid. 😂

You know when a RU-vid series takes itself very seriously when they make correction videos like these. It really shows how much you care.

Your joke writing team is gold!

Happy Birthday Half as Interesting, been here since Wendover uploaded and the premiere episode, thanks for feeding my brain knowledge, thanks :) well bye. And also, the mistakes are okay because we all make it. Dashlane is very good!

@HAI and wendover productions I love your videos never stop please, it sustains my normal human life as a potato

I watched your podcast as soon as it started coming out, and I know how under rated it is, but honestly I really enjoyed listening to it.

Wait, do you really have 180 staff?

I'm surprised you didn't put the day you made this channel as one of the mistakes in your list.

shows xkcd comic about passwords that're easy to guess by computers but also shows passwords of the same virtue in the dashlane ad

love your videos Sam, i've been watching for like 3 years, think you only had like 5 videos when I found you. Keep up the great work

Sam, emu is pronounced e-mew

HAI: *uploads on Saturday Me: "Kowalski! Analysis"

Here's a good start for next year's video! At 2:09 you can clearly hear Sam say "created a cloud of gas and fire," even though the directly quoted comment mentions that it isn't fire, but only looks like that due to the large amount of light emitted.

I can respect a page that corrects itself. don't take these mistakes to heart you still educate people on the main truths of the matter, and very well as that as well. if you didn't make these videos id have never known

What happened to the other Half of Half as Interesting?

HAI:The sun never sets on the British Empire phrase is no longer true... Pitcairn:Am I a joke to you?

0:43 The savagery Sam...lol, so true though And holy crap was that dashlane sponsorship transition smooth...I'm so high (I have a med card dont worry) right now that cracked me the hell up lol. Cheers.

The flow of this video is surprisingly fluid

I'm so confused as to what you mean at 4:33, the wording is ambiguous. I'm assuming you said that they represent 1-127 in the original video, rather than 0-127 which would be correct.

*2 HAI videos on a single week?* 😱😱😱😱 Please tell me I'm not dreaming 😍

Iv never seen a more passionate voice over on a HAI video, I like the angry sam!

That dutch sentence at 4:00 pretty much just says: Goodbye Joe play constituinal

wait he has a body double? is his body double wendover productions.

Does s actually have a whole team for this? (I know it was a joke but does he do it by himself?)

The first correction about the longer password being stronger then the short one is also wrong... People cracking passwords frequently use dictionary attacks, making password with commonly used words very weak. There is a computerphile video on it.

I remember that polar bear video and I actually quite enjoyed it. So much so that I decided to tell my friends about the fun fact of Halloween being cancelled because of polar bears

oof I'm first but Idk what to say, so I'm just wishing everyone a great day!

*Video Quality is improving!* I'm getting closer to unsubscribing everyday!

I just watched that video. IM SO GLAD YOU MADE ANOTHER ONE

I enjoy this channel and your other one ! Keep up the good work.

That was an incredible transition into the sponsored segment... Bravo, bravo.

Here's to another year of awesome videos!

Im not even mad about the ad at the end cuz damn that was smooth.

That polar bear video is one of my favorites!

The polar bear on Halloween was one of my favorite videos!!!

Talk about the Everlasting Fire of Bamako. In Bamako, Mali there is a fire that was burning since 20 AD. The word “Bamako” itself means “fire land”. The fire first started when a giant forest was set on fire. What’s bad about this fire is that it has destroyed many aircraft and killed up to 10 million people. All because the Bamako Airport is right next to the fire. During the Middle Ages, aircraft like book pigeons and platforms that were made from silicon polymers flew from Timbuktu to Bamako. But the heat of the electric fire was so intense that it snapped the polymers and aircraft went to heck. Literally. But when planes were invented in 1903 things were different. The aircraft burned slower as it was made of wood and not polymers. Nowadays aircrafts avoid flying above the fire because of the noxious fumes which trapped electric heat. An aircraft even survived the fire and was repaired. It is still in use even though it was built in 1818. Today the runway of the airport was moved to point in the opposite direction of the fire.

Happy birthday, HAI

2:58 LOL That building is in Jim Thorpe PA across the street from a scenic tourist railway that I visited every Christmas vacation for over a decade and even I thought you were correct.

Half as Interesting destroys mistakes with facts and logic

Half as interesting is a channel that encourages people to think and ask questions whilst giving them valuable knowledge, in return this channel gained 1 million subscribers in 2 years and on the other hand "Mr Bro" and channel that literally did nothing expect being the brother of a famous you tuber gained 400k subs without uploading a video and 1 million subscribers in 3 days . The state of the world

I've been thinking about the convection current mistake for the past week actually lol. Thank you for correcting it

Life without typos or human error doesn't exist. Love this!

one of the alltime great postroll ad reads

What's funny with the Lehigh Valley Coal building, I live in the town of Jim Thorpe and was surprised to see a picture from our small town.

“Passive-Aggresive commenting on Bright Side copies of our videos team” That made me laugh so much.

3:10 that comment was so passive aggressive and honestly im here for it

5:59 Activation acknowledged, comrade. Proceeding as instructed.

2 years!! Damn I’ve watched every single video since you launched the channel

0:54 Apparently I have the same glasses as Arnold here.

Polar Bears ruining Halloween was one of my favourites lol

The Challenger accident was indeed an explosion. Explosion doesn't mean 'rapid combustion' (which indeed it wasn't). It is defined as "A violent shattering or blowing apart of something" or "A violent expansion in which energy is transmitted outwards as a shock wave" by the Oxford English Dictionary. However, the Challenger Space Shuttle did not explode as said correctly... but the external tank did.

Another apologetic video from a RU-vid creator... Then @ 5:56 put everything into perspective. Definitely at the top of my " Interesting Half Ass" content... 🤪😎 *RESPECT*

It's okay. Mistakes you make is what truly makes your videos half as interesting.

Happy B-Day HAI!

I remember the polar bear video and I like it a lot actually. I'm pretty sure that's the reason I subscribed to you.

love u guys!!!!!i dind'tknew you were a whole company!!!!!

5:56 HMISTAKES? Perfect timing!

4:09 i'm not your buddy, friend

Which video is he referencing at 1:24? (The one about South Georgia & The South Sandwich Islands)

1:53 that polar bear video was least viewed. Then right next to it a video with less views

Best Groan-causing Segway of the year goes to you, HAI.

I feel compelled to watch the polar bear video now so Sam isn't sad

There is still a mistake in an earlier video, which haven't been addressed, which in turn mean that the last years mistakes video has a mistake too. Anyway, the video with the mistake is the one about the train in the Vatican state. In that video it was mentioned that there where no rails in Libya, when there is in fact rails and a single train parked on said rails. Granted, there haven't been any operation railways in Libya since 1965 and the train that is currently parked there haven't run since before the Libyan Civil War , but it doesn't change the fact there is rails in Libya, and this was something I needed to get of my chest.

Happy Birthday HAI!

THAT'S the MOST passive agressive "BUDDY" I've ever heard

1:17 I think you misunderstood the XKCD comic. What makes the password less secure in his example is the fact it is made from a single dictionary word (with simple replacement rules applied), whereas "correct horse battery staple" is made of four. This doesn't apply to your case, because the supposedly weak password is not derived from a dictionary word.

I remember the polar bear video I have watched all of your videos they're amazing!!!

Yeah now I remember that misuse of 'state' by the Japanese kanji :D Had a chuckle when I first read it though

4:26 Literally all you had to say was mathematician 😂 But gj nice video

"I wonder what happens if we make a mistake in this video" Foreshadowing at its finest
