That's cool

sir, this is the most nonsensical thing I ever heard this year.

what is delta?

Delta is just another name for difference, also you can say "patch". Opportunity is the patch between now state and possible.

40:00

because he's extremely good at problem solving.

" being part of the development"??? He was the technical genius and lead programmer for all of it.

Doom :-)

he sided with machines dude helps the elite to merge humanity with computers, a new species - Cyborg

Well I mean, that's not hard when you're inter-dimensional nexus of knowledge and energy John Carmack.

Thats not the point, the industry didn't need anything less than 100ms. If it did they would have done it loooooong before Carmack

@@EvoPortal "The industry / authority is all-knowing" is something only autistic people believe. Every organization is a bureaucracy, its agility inversely linked to its size.

@@EvoPortal bruh, the industry was doing it before John Carmack and then John explained to them exactly what is being lost by deciding it isn’t important.

Changing pixel color on your screen require more time than sending packet to europe and back. Silly times.

One (of the many) signs of an intelligent person. I knew someone that would always brag about enjoying when things go wrong because it's a chance to learn something new. In high stress situations he excels and is a very successful man.

It's just because the sentence he wanted to create makes no sense with "problem" as a subject.

He have a low latency mind

The clarity in his speech comes from the passion and clarity in his mind.

Carmack is like the perverted Yoda of software. "Like porn movie, VR is! From the scenery dialogue takes away! Mmmmmmm!"

That was his "I/O seek sound", he's been upgraded to an M2 drive.

I think he altered his own code :)

This is hilarious. What version is CarmackOS on these days? I mean he can talk to *children* now.

@@sfulibarri ah yes, the expensive extra software update.

Slowest system did not work much for me. My brother tried hooking up our Acer computer (Windows 95, 100 mhz) and HP computer (windows 98, 333 mhz) to run doom for modem play. It would not work at all. I only did modem play on the HP Computer connecting to the friend of my brother's computer and vice-versa for doom. The friend's computer was fast enough to keep up.

Tiago Almeida Who cares about any of that?! Elon Musk is way better! Did you know he invented a computer that runs soley on electricity?!!

"Doom and then Quake". It largely ended there. Along came Unreal, Tim Sweeney, and the Unreal Engine powering many games today. Sweeney's software renderer(a render option for Unreal) was probably the biggest technical achievement in graphics software ever created. Everything else is incremental. Sweeney's engine powers 100:1 of 3D games compared to id tech. Carmack foundered with misguided steps. His backing of Intel graphics in the late 90s, and his eventual mega texture model throttled the Id Tech engines. He failed to keep Id software as a cohesive team in the development of Quake. As for the present day, Elon Musk is doing it in terms of space. VR is just another system that Carmack as siezed on, like that Intel thing in the 90's. VR might see its day in 10 years. By then Carmack will be focused on discovering something else. Dont get me wrong, he is gifted, and gaming has benefited hugely. But these days there are hundreds of Carmacks, that are making better decisions.

it's a toss up whether I'll be inspired or deflated

I get the opposite man, he seems extremely down to earth, he makes it feel like knowledge is less of a gift from the gods, more of a self ascertained thing

Important to realize that Carmack did everything he did with only high school level math concepts. 3D rasterization can be done with all linear algebra, trigonometry, very basic calculus and maybe matrix multiplication. Even on those terms, Carmack himself says that everything he'd ever done could be done better, including mistakes and oversights that he was embarrassed about in hindsight. In other words, his greatest successes were made with hard work and obsession - but NOT particularly superhuman intelligence and talent. Carmack himself is very humble even about his own proudest technical achievements, and even when he does give himself credit, he stresses the thousands of little small decisions rather than any stroke of genius.

@@Wobbothe3rd thanks for this

Opposite for me, he brings back my initial intrigue with programming and computer science as a whole and why I even studied this field.

@mkz1c #metoo 🍻

Create a playlist, I did. You actually take a lot of what he's saying on board, too!

How great would it be if he would bring out a series of "get to sleep easier" tapes :-)

Same. This man is an absolute genius

here you go.... kzfaq.info?search_query=john+carmack+keynote&sp=EgIYAg%253D%253D

48 fps is way out of this

25 years and still not understand a thing lol

Someone else was

Then every engineer would have to spend at least the same amount of time learning as John, have as good conditions for it as he did. That's just impossible, dude.

@@IamFilter94 If you read most of his .plan "blogs", it's quite clear that learning and writing Quake was more important to him than the rest of his life (bar blowing up Ferrari engines). I've never met anyone who comes close. He's a machine.

There's great stuff going all the way back to 1996, look up carmack keynotes on the internet archive. Also check out Michael Abrash's keynotes from 1998 and back.

Vaskedama demanding all games have 4K playback and 120fps mite not be ideal for every game

From watching a lot of these when you get to the point of understanding one, go back and watch one of the previous ones you've seen. It's like going over the hurdle of learning a new language. I know you might not have the mental capacity to endure another 1-2 hours of basically full on mental warfare, but trust me, it's worth it. You learn a lot, what he is saying here in a span of 1-2 hours will take you(and it probably took him) months / years to learn and understand properly. And the way he explains it is so smooth, it shows that he discovered these things on his own and not just read them up online or in a book.

I think his vocal skills have also improved in the past 10 years

@@MrSlashStudios I believe you're right about that, i think i heard he got a lot of media training during the development of Rage.

Tries to go around a genius

We are all geniuses in a way or another.

The question is if that’s a blessing or a curse?

He didn't start like this and you can get there too.

yeah i mean carmack propably was (and maybe even still is) autistic. from what ive heard about him in his youth he maybe even was in some way severely autistic. but its not like he´d care.

@ The names that their parents gave them were "John" (Carmack), "Mark" (Zuckerberg), "Bill" (Gates), "Steve" (Jobs)... Absolutely normal and ordinary names. The surnames might not sound super common, but that's because there is a handful of "common" surnames and then you have a long tail of less known surnames. IMHO, success is a mix of talent (genetics), hard work (practice and persistence) and luck (being in the right place at the right time). In the case of Carmack, he clearly is extremely gifted and he is well known for having a strong work ethic. I recommend you the book "Masters of Doom" if you want to know more about Carmack's early years.

He lives through what he explains. Normal people very rarely presents issues which they are passionate about. I have opportunity to present both sides of the spectrum. And I am two different people while doing both types of presentation. And it's not related to boredom. Those are lacking parts of the full picture which don't allow you to go with the flow, so the stress and stutter sometimes kicks in. On the other side, you have full knowledge at many scales. Like high-level points, process maps, value stream maps, steps and stories on each level. You also have nothing to be ashamed of while saying this is a detail where another person comes in to help and very briefly describe this person's area of expertise.

Wait till you watch his 5 hours interview on KZfaq (look it up)

its the same with overconsumption of alcohol, the body realizies its been poisoned, and tries to purge the poison from the system. :)

it's kinda endearing. same goes for his "on there" "on that" usage

if it werent for so much competition for peoples attention from mass entertainment and corporate advertising many more people could develop skills in this area and we could cultivate waaayy more dense monologues and discussions like this. alas most people are trained to have the attention span of a duck and would rather talk about sports or other entertainment trivia than engage with interesting and practical problem solving.

Von Neumann, Davinci, Marconi, Oppenheimer... these are smarter.

@@NihilistGhost you didn't refute his statement

@ "Bill/William Gates" is a really common name, if not to say "ordinary". "Carmack" can't be so uncommon either, if they had even the unrelated "Adrian Carmack" in the small id team which developed Doom. The reason these names sound so distinguished is because you're hearing them over and over again. So you're confusing cause and effect.

I'll let him be the only one who can review my product, then make sure to adopt his critic and make a better version of it.

Or providing updates on the release of Da Katana /s

1) He did some great things with map design/etc. in Doom. People who do similar things in modern games should not forget or ignore the awesome design present in "old" games like Doom. 2) Most of the rest of us are not talking about anything because we don't have credentials with that much value.

And that's great.

Yeah, I like romero but I feel like he's still living in the past. He is clearly way past his prime, he has abilities, but he needs more than Doom now to stand out. He recently released a fifth episode for the original Doom. The original fucking Doom, dude come on.

But Romero has cooler hair though : )
