    6 year old more knowledgable and coherent than the average chronically online teenager.

    Most people in the future will not be programmers like in the past. They will select pre built high level functional objects and link them together using high level ide to create object/connection database. Run the resultant project on an interpreter to verify the functionality, allowing insertion of intermediate inspection points.

    No one needs to know the internals of the low level or high level objects, except specialists who make them, or you who bind them together into a high level block object. Think of Visual Basic vs c++, using pre made objects or binding objects into an object block.

    The 6 year old girl has the best bedtime algorithm.

    Totally adopting that.

    Omg David! Thanks to his CS50 harvardx course I decided to become a computer scientist, he makes any computer science subject fun and interesting. I aspire to be as good as he is one day.

    at this point, tearing the phonebook is a hobby for david

    i love seeing the curiosity of children like that little girl’s 🙂 its so pure and they haven’t been conditioned to default to “i don’t know” all the time

    Dude’s child explanation was more complicated than my junior and senior students can even understand and the little girl looked genuinely intrigued.

    The analogy for the PB sandwich with the little girl was awesome! Great teachers can adapt to the student to teach in the best way

    November 8, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    Kinda wished the last two guys stuck with the more “traditional” algorithms talk. Would have liked to see David talking about big data algorithms like streaming, parallelism, etc.

    November 8, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    I’m currently at hour 4 of David Malan’s CS50 courses I watch online, and I can say, he’s the best teacher I’ve ever seen.

    i found him after doing the free CS50 course he is really clever and teaches in an interesting way

    Bro how did the 6 year old explained the algorithm 😂

  37. JustSliming

    I’m confused, why did they bring out the expert first?

  48. BB Sky

    November 12, 2023 at 7:33 am

    I like how the computer science college student chose bubble sort. Selection sort is what most people intuitively do when faced with this problem. I can’t help wondering if she considered the mighty merge sort, but thought nah that’ll take too long to explain.

  49. shane troy

    November 12, 2023 at 8:06 am

    The expert didn’t seem to answer the last question whether this was a good area to get into now starting off given the recent and potential future changes.

    I’m watching this because of an algorithm.

    November 12, 2023 at 10:32 am

    As a former CS educator, I really wish that they didn’t have all the females at the beginning of the video and the males at the end. A missed opportunity to show the females being the “experts.”

  57. Ákos Dániel Bollók

    At this point I’m pretty sure Dr. Malan teaches algorithms only so he can tear a phonebook apart every year.

  58. Ali Aslami

    November 12, 2023 at 4:34 pm

    As a programmer, I think the 6-year-old girl has a perfect and clear mind, I’m sure she has a good future in computer engineering, she can explain things like this and understand easily.

  60. Kero Samy

    November 12, 2023 at 6:23 pm

    He really loves ripping the phone book in half.
    The video started with David “explaining” algorithms to the other people and ended with just two persons having a conversation about their knowledge.

    Algorithm == a series of steps with a [VAR] result.
    definition of Algorithm.
    VAR == in programming language means “variable”, place holder for whatever you intend on utilizing for that abstract notion of metaphysical construct. an application of this would be VAR == stasis, or VAR = RFK JR. or the unlimited number of things that could be used in its place.

    Hyperstition: Algorithms, especially those used in social media and online platforms, determine what content users see based on their previous interactions, preferences, and behaviors. These algorithms create feedback loops by showing users more of what they engage with, reinforcing certain ideas and beliefs. As people interact more with specific content, it gains prominence and influence, potentially turning certain ideas or beliefs into self-fulfilling prophecies.

    Accelerationism: Algorithms can accelerate the spread and intensification of ideologies and content. They often contribute to the polarization and amplification of extreme viewpoints by presenting users with content that aligns with their existing beliefs or preferences. This amplification can lead to the rapid dissemination of certain ideologies or accelerate the adoption of certain technologies, economic systems, or cultural norms, influencing societal changes at a faster pace.

    Algorithms, designed to maximize user engagement and retention, tend to prioritize content that elicits strong emotional responses, including fear, anger, or excitement. In the context of hyperstition and accelerationism, these algorithms can unintentionally promote and magnify apocalyptic narratives, conspiracy theories, or extreme viewpoints because they generate higher engagement, which in turn reinforces their visibility and impact.

    Thus, algorithms contribute to the reinforcement and acceleration of certain ideas and beliefs within society, potentially amplifying the influence of hyperstition and contributing to the rapid spread or intensification of accelerationist ideologies or narratives.

    An algorithm is a list of instructions to tell a human or a robot what to do.

    A fantastic teacher, a genius, best YT-video ever? Scanning through the first ~100 comments I wonder if mine will appear. The entaglement with AI-models is a topic on its own, ML-architectures actually lack some of the properties that define an algorithm, not only because they are error-prone and hallucinate (ok, on an algorithmic basis). Being a very experienced project manager I would actually like to see the discussion if ‘shiny algorithms’ (classic definition) exist at all in real-life applications. Of course, they don’t.

    None of this makes any sense to the reality of knowledge. Playing games with words does not make for a better world. I am so tired of people not addressing the problem. I have yet found anyone fixing anything, good advertising, bad technology. Algorithms are not the issue. These we have been making them for tens of thousands of years. New problems, new ways we find of solve them. What no one saw “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

    I do not know of any algorithm that is over 20 lines of code. It takes 20 lines of code only because of our bad technology. The 20 lines of code we do produce are unreadable. Unreadable means that code cannot be validated. Might be valid means that there is an assumption. An assumption is not science.

    As far as AI is concerned, we are not really making the machine learn anything. There are 12 inches in a Foot. Is Blue more liked than Red? Who cares. You say YES, I say No, In context people, Bob hates both colors. Sure I can have the computer count how many times RED and BLUE are used, then a human makes an assumption on the meaning of the numbers. The computer counts, the human interprets and gives recommendations “if you like blue you are stupid”. Is this mission critical? Cute! yes, useful is questionable.

    The 6 year old was better at this than the college student who studies this. Honestly embarrassing for NYU. How does a senior CS student know so little about algorithms and have no idea about the vocabulary? And then the NYU graduate student was talking about basic freshman level stuff. Has CS been really dumbed down since I was in college or is NYU just a really awful school? Heck, neural nets was in my high school junior class 20 years ago. My first CS class in college assumed I knew all that. At least the Columbia professor knew what he was talking about.

    > do data scientists think of algorithms?
    It depends.
    There are one thousand people on the Earth that improved models/gradient search/loss function in a major way. Or developed a new architecture. Those are masters.
    For millions of data scientists IA is a tool (blackbox) that you can adopt to your particular case. They write a simple wrapper (this requires algorithms), train a model, get satisfactory resulrs and move to a new project. Those are craftsmen. They act like a cook that don’t care about the genetics of onion that they fry. They only care that it is cooked well. And this is enough most of the times.
    About good craftsmen. When model fails to learn, they first check the quality of data GIGO principle. If data is ok, they replace the model. If this fails, they search for a bug in their harness code. If this fails, they dive deep in the model and tweak it. At this point a model is considered an algorithm for the craftsmen.

    > this is aweful
    Wars are aweful. The craftman_algorithm above is optimal. It is highly unlikely that the core of a library is broken (happened before though, but rarely).

  499. @samtux762

    January 24, 2024 at 6:04 pm

    > this is a scientific process
    Was ten years ago. People published their code and datasets. This was science.
    Now they report “our new algorithm is the best [code, weights are not provided in the paper]. We’ve trained our AI on our dataset [dataset is not provided] and we got these results”.
    If you hide your procedure – this is not scientific research.
    For example, nuke project of the US was not a good science. They didnot publish their methods and results (for national security reasons). Soviets had to use intelligence agents to spread the knowledge (to China, for example), making it science.
    Cardano did the same, when he published a solution for a qubic aquation that he got through “spying”. But this kick started science in Europe.

    No way did that little girl have such a good explanation for algorithms. At that age, I would have probably only known how to spell it. If she doesn’t make it far, I’m screwed.

    I love this channel but I know that a lot of the information in the first few chapters of the book The Dawn of Everything challenges this creation myth. I recommend that everyone look into, explore, and read The Dawn of Everything. It challenges our current creation myth with so much valid evidence.

    Algorithm is an Arabic word invented by Alkhawarizmi the great muslim scientist and the father of algebra. The meaning of this great Arabic word is the “way of solutions”. Also, Algebra is an Arabic word invented by the father of Math also Alkhawarizmi. Its meaning in Arabic is “changing the state of a thing or reform it”. Unfortunately, the credit is always been given to other scientists and even skipping the Era where this great scientist Alkhawarizmi was born. Alkhawarizmi invented our numbers and once called an Arabic numbers. we are using numbers based on angles and zero has no angles according to Alkhawarizmi. Also, he is the inventor of equations and polynomial equations.

      Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi[note 1] (Arabic: محمد بن موسى الخوارزمي; c. 780 – c. 850), often referred to as simply al-Khwarizmi, was a Persian polymath.
      Al-khwarizmi was a great mind.
      Please try not to extrapolate his intelligence to Arab and/or Islam.

    If you master something, you’ll be able to explain even a complicated concept to others in simple language. If you can’t do it, it simply you don’t understand. The way he tried to explain the little girl is exciting. I’m a university lecturer who also like to teach children. It’s a good example how to be a great teacher. 👍🏼
