@@PuthySlayer69420 just because he speaks japanese doesn't make him a weeb. he could be but he could also have learned the language for fun or been born in japan.
@@vaisakhkm783 and I remember getting the recomdation for it, youtube recomended it to me many times because it knows a lot about me. But I ignored the video becuase I thought he would simply point a link to the game, It was a tempting click and I gave a hard thought to think what the guy is tryna do and i just cannot comprehand how you play a game with a barcode. I will indeed check the video out now. RU-vid will be like bro I told you to check this out so many times! Now you realised. lol
Also go is most commonly played on 19x19 (19x19 intersections) board. The board he uses is 26x26 (intersections) that's too big to play on. So yes, it's annoying and looks weird to me but it's not even common go board so I don't care that much.
@@DorrySkog Right, but he's just representing zeros and ones using discrete units, so in the end the result is the same as if he shifted all of the stones to a vertex.
I hate them when they’re displayed on the PS5 during a system update so you have to scan them with your phone to learn what the update is doing…instead of JUST TELLING ME WHAT THE UPDATE DOES
@@aditya.khapre to be fair, how they are used and applied accounts for most of the representation/reputation and that's fair by association. It is used more poorly than good.
More than that really! The guy who came up with the blue LED; for his encore, he also did blue laser diodes, as used in Blueray, high speed fibre comms, the lot. He announced this second invention at a conference on the topic of "why is a blue laser diode too hard to build?" by using a blue laser pointer in his presentation, not a red one. It took the audience a short while to notice, and then I imagine the conference got pretty interesting!
@@abarratt8869 That's some actual chad energy. Wish there was a video of that moment. Would love to see the crowd suddenly go whaaaat as they realize he's using a blue laser pointer.
Those are wonderful accomplishments for sure, and I admire the Japanese people for not sliding into self destructive degeneracy like we have. But the "greatest?" I'd argue that the internet is the greatest invention of the past century. Regardless of how people misuse it, it has given every human on earth instant access to the whole of recorded human knowledge. That's insane...
For those that are convinced that SOS is an acronym a quick Wikipedia search explains that, originally (in 1906), SOS was chosen because is easy to remember and to read. The idea that it is an acronym for "save our souls" or even "save our ship" emerged years later as a way to help in remembering it. Fun fact, this phenomenon in which a meaning is invented for a sequence of letter is called a backronym
Weird how Saily is suddenly buying sponsorship deals 3 weeks after their network completely crashed for two weeks for certain countries as a whole and they refuse to give people back their money
@@stefanalecu9532 If you were unfortunate enough to be in Japan among other countries the 1Global network they used had a two week outage just recently. They still let you buy a 1 week plan for japan or those other countries during that time, making you unable to access their service at all.
i atill hate qr codes...at least when you're in a restaurant and they force you to check the menu and order with a qr code. the technology behind it is amazing though.
Trivia nitpick: The distress code is not SOS. SOS would be ".../_ _ _/..." However, the distress code is "... _ _ _ ..." -- that is, there are no pauses between sections! This is usually represented by placing an overbar above the letters, to indicate that the operator should not insert pauses.
i found out you can use a QR code generated by gopro software, hidden from general users, that can unlock secret settings and push the limits of the gopro camera
Stands for: - Save Our Ship - Save Our Soul I guess when you are in the middle of the ocean or sea and bad storm is coming, then everything is about you praying for your ship and shoul to endure that storm and stay alive. And yes its acronym(backronym) which makes it even easier to transmit via some signals be it morse code, or in some sense in desolate, deserted area (a picture of a deserted island in the middle of the sea comes to mind) is visible by plane.
I do hate how many places use exclusively QR code though. I want a website shown to me via text, a QR code with no website text under it is annoying. I don't want to have to pull out my phone to scan every code, give me a website to visit.
@@oldhelldog5460 By typing it in when I get home, or going to it on my phone in a protected context, or just seeing what they're showing like a YT video vs a website vs a payment link, etc.
You should never use QR codes unless you know they are safe. Watch for fake ones glued on top of real ones in restaurants for the menu for example. QR codes bypass every bit of security on your phone. There’s a really good video on RU-vid about that.
QR codes single handedly brought a digital payments revolution in India. Poorest of the poor and richest of the rich, all can make and receive payments FREE OF ANY CHARGE WHATSOEVER instantly. On top of that UPI can even do DIGITAL PAYMENTS from your phones even WITHOUT INTERNET using USSD CODES, so even a 20 year old Nokia phone can be used to make digital payment. it's freaking amazing. No need to carry Cards or Wallets as almost everyone uses UPI now, you would rarely find anyone NOT USING it. Plus all the govt. documents like Driving License, PAN Card, etc are also digital so there is literally no need to carry wallets anymore. If samsung and Apple adds camera to their watch (not for photos) for only scanning qr codes, that would be even more amazing.
First time Derek gives his own opinion about something in the most Gen Z way possible (at least for a middle-aged man). Also, I always thought SOS was "Save Our Souls".
It's so great to see that the evolution of humanity and science itself only gained efficiency and robustness through the communication being efficient and robust. Transfering information was the reason we, as a species, turned out to be more evolved than other species and now it's the reason we can have such advances in knowledge that a computer can create paintings and communicate in natural language using artificial inteligence. I wonder what's the end of it... will we ever create a supermassive inteligence?
1, I have always loved QR codes. I even practiced how to read them. 2, One of my favorite games ever is an extremely underrated, philosophically-driven story, puzzle game called The Talos Principle. That game uses QR codes as messages on walls for AI to speak to each other. It's an amazing game. I highly recommend it for everyone who enjoys puzzle games. It is similar to Portal 2 and other great puzzle games.
The Talos Principle is one of the best games ever. Playing through the 2nd one now. If you liked TTP, I can't recommend Outer Wilds enough. Don't google it, every little bit of information is a major spoiler. You'll have to trust a random stranger on this one
12:25 people keep sending me this 😅 probably should've mentioned MattKC so that people won't confuse this with my snake-in-a-QR implementation (and also because credit is due)
I like them because they're mostly more up-to-date and often include photos of the dishes. Additionally, you don't need to wait for the watier to bring the menu, and they also don't take the menu away, which they do in my country after you ordered.
It was fine idea during the pandemic when you wouldn't touch the menu. Also if you travel, in restaurants they usually have a menu in their local language plus one in English maybe. But imagine there's like 6 billions of people in the world that can't speak or read English. With QR codes You can have your menu in all the languages. Isn't that neat?
In my country, Kazakhstan, QR codes are used extensively, especially in banking, and we take great pride in having developed such advanced infrastructure. I believe we were one of the first countries to implement QR codes on such a large scale for everyday transactions.
13:00 is he not using the go board wrong? I thought pieces were placed at the intersections of lines. The guy literally said that earlier. Now hes putting them in between squares
He's probably doing that because that makes it into a 25 x 25 grid, exactly the right size for a version 2 QR code. He must have also had to find a somewhat unusual Go board for that, since most of them are 19 x 19, not 26 x 26 like that one.
It's unsafe in the way any text instructing you to do something on your phone is unsafe. They are just easier to use. When people see a sketchy shortened link in public they won't visit it. Not because they are smart but mostly because it's just to much effort to exactly copy these random characters. Qr codes remove that barrier. So if you don't know what you are doing its best not to scan random codes. But if you do know then it's mostly safe.
33:28 as soon as the black and white barcode and qr code was mentioned. I thought; 'why not add colour). Humans can detct red blue and green colours via cone cells. As well as gradients between black and white. Light and dark via rod cells. Other animals like pigeons can see yellow. If you can implement this, you can have a functioning eye. This can also affect information density and biorganic/cybernetic computers. Sensors being cone and rod cells and wires being nerve cells or slime mold. Maybe even carbon nano tubes or spheres. Maybe muscles or organic mercury as it is a metal and therefore could pass electrical signals easier. Batteries could come from electric eels. Elctrical sensors could come from sharks although it would only work in salt and brackish environments. As per my understanding of this area. This is mainly my mix of engineering, computing, mathematics and science fiction (mainly Frankenstein and Warhammer 40k) merging.
11:28 ASCII is a 7-bit encoding, 8-bit is known as extended ASCII and there are many variants of it like windows-1252 etc. Btw, URLs are also case-insensitive, so you could probably went with 5-bit encoding)
If you had the qr code encoded as bytes and made a custom app to decode it, yeah. But the utility of a qr code in the vast majority of cases comes from your phone camera being able to scan it and decode it and send you to a url, so you have to use the typical ascii encoding for that.
@@JazzyMaxine there is alphanumeric encoding - 11 bits per 2 characters, as mentioned 3 minutes later. Also, I'm pretty sure I saw non ASCII chars in qr-codes, UTF-8 probably would work just fine.
30:18 Correction: He said Tokkyo (特許 patent), not Tokyo. The entire sentence is: We made the patent open to everyone, which made the QR code so popular.
0:35 yes, in India we have been using UPI to process transactions through QR code since 2016. It hardly takes 2 seconds for the transaction. And, it's free too.
23:22 syndrome. Foes this apply to dna. Could you write out the 4 dna/rna or 6 if you include the x and y or z artifiactial rna scientists created. The using this formula find out if a mutation has occured. If the end result is not what you expected, you have proof that a mutation has occured. Is this also the reason why dna related effects are called syndromes? What about downs syndrome. I know that some dna related problems can be called degenerates or degenerative. Or something similar. (Did A-level biology 3 years ago). I can't be the only one thinking this right?. I know that rna and dna can be treated like codes as there is a code substation or reversible website that changes binary hexcidecimal rna/dna and other codes. It was used for some puzzle games. The website was linked for the game. Can't remeber what game it was.
I dislike qr codes since with modern computers, a high amount of data and data correction could be stored in a small amount of space. It seems totally inefficient. Also they normally just point to a url which seems like cheeting. It would take less space just to write the url in text and scan the text. It is like using more code to download an image. It can be done but it could be done much faster and more efficiently. Just about every technology we use is that way, it's a hangover from past tech. /Endrant
theyre ugly and intrusive. also when they first came around most phones didn't have qr scan built in, so usually trying to read a QR meant taking a picture and doing a reverse image search or something. Or having to download a QR reader. having to use another app to get to a website instead of just reading a website name on a sticker didnt seem to make much sense. when QRs first started going viral, it wasn't usually phone to phone. QRs were stickers posted on subway walls, cafe pinboards, or checkout counters. Just noisy and intrusive.
Me and my freinds use to try to make random qr codes on a Go board and scan them to see what came up, the most random thing we found was a login page to some random german school
Veritasium was the one who made me interested in science since childhood and he keeps doing it to younger ones. Great work Derek btw as always its awesome.
They're just another way to express data just like a barcode. Unfortunately, they're SUPER unsecured. 🚩☠️🚩 I don't recommend them for anything other than what barcodes were initially designed for... convenience in identifying simple information.
Well I would say that some scanner apps are not secure because they open links from qr code without asking. QR code in itself is not insecure. Or am I missing something?
The main problem with QR codes is when a creator puts them in a video, and doesn't provide a link in the description. When I'm watching on my phone. Also, Japan was using QR codes for years before they were widely adopted in the west.
Bit weird to me to use an image to represent an image. It's basically a tool to convert a picture to binary. To then encode that binary into an image sounds wasteful
