This shows someone who doesn't know the world (how things & people behave) -- the OP is guessing & believing his guesses. Prof. Malan did not answer these questions instantly ("without even thinking"). He had received the questions on twitter/X, and after thinking of his answer he answered each one on twitter/X. THEN, Wired asked him to make this video -- and we see his twitter/X answers next to his verbal explanations. He did not "instantly" answer any. He thought over time. He's not a god.

Not completely. He got the first answer wrong. Search engines are ultra-fast mainly because of constant-time search algorithms, not distributed computing. If you search for "lasagna recipe" on Google, the search engine is not going to search through 8 billion webpages, using lots of computers to be faster (which is what this guy is implying). It will use an algorithm that will not need to go through each of those 8 billion webpages. This algorithm will give results in a constant time, whether there are 5 webpages or 8 billion.

@IndigoCode 9 ай бұрын

Excellent video, I loved all of the answers! The first one ("how are search engines so fast?") at its core also uses a surprisingly simple trick called "indexing." Search engines go over the entire internet, and keep books for each word they associate with a page - a page talks about names for orange cats? The page goes in the "cat", "orange", and "names" index lists. So when you search for "cat names", both the "cat" and "name" computers recommend the same page, and it shows up in your results - the engine doesn't have to look at every page on the Internet, just the ones it knows talk about cats, and the ones that talk about names. Of course there's more to it than that, and distributed computing is a massive part of it too. Phenomenal answers across the board though - the speaker does an excellent job of presenting some pretty gnarly ideas in really easy to digest ways. Props!

The GOAT. Oh my god I love the way he explains. Even tho I finished his course 1,5 years ago and know the answers for all of these questions, it's just so much pleasure to listen to David's explanation I need more David in the media!

This man is the reason why I've started my journey into my BS in Computer Science. The way he explains things makes so much sense, and is interesting and keeps me engaged

David! His CS50 class changed my life and taught me the fundamentals of programming and computer science that I refer to every day in my current job

Such a well spoken guy.👏👏 Thank you Wired for finding intelligent people like him who are not only smart but can communicate effectively and get their point across without boring us.

even with no computer science aspirations i still find myself listening to his lectures sometimes just because he's such a captivating speaker. his words are so fluent and he speaks with such passion and conviction that you can't help but be interested in whatever he's talking about. his mastery of public speaking is just as impressive as his mastery of computer science.

Much deserved recognition. David is very humble, knowledgeable and his python course has helped me immensely.

I've had bad teachers all my life. This guy is amazing just 'cause he's simple in explaining. Someone said "The top of sophistication is SIMPLICITY"! He's the only reason I want that certification of Harvard. This guy I want to hear, watch and learn.

I love the way he answers all the questions. I believe what attracted me the most was the idea of “programming is just a tool that you learn along the way”. I study cybersecurity and that could apply to my area. yes, I should learn how to hack, but I should focus on learning the material and hacking will be a skill that I’ll learn along the way. Really changed my perspective!💯👏🏽

And that's a good example of a real and excellent teacher, who can convert complex and detailed concepts into short, illustrated and simple explanations that almost anyone can understand. Very good.

@kyetefranck8102 7 ай бұрын

Maybe I'm biased because he said Harvard, but this man is the greatest teacher ever, not just in the way he is able to explain things for beginners to understand but there is almost not inaccuracy in what he is saying. Most people when simplifying concepts like the ones he is talking about tend to introduce a lot of inaccuracies, but I didn't detect any in the concepts I already knew.
