Analysis Summary
Performed authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.
Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- This video provides a raw, unedited look at the technical challenges of building a multiplayer chunk-loading model in Java.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements
- The creator's tendency to frame complex geopolitical and economic issues as 'conspiracies' or 'scams' can lead viewers to adopt a cynical worldview that prioritizes ideological alignment over technical or economic nuance.

Orthopoplex [snorts] 64. How's it going? Welcome to raising funds for world domination day number 314. All right, for today's status update, there are once again no updates on the anticipated appeal [snorts] from the uh October 14th. What has it been now? October, November, December, January, February, March. So, it'll be almost six months. Wow. Since the win. It's still I think I think they've appealed, but there's been no even official word from the court. [snorts] So, I don't know. Maybe they rescended it or something. I'll find out in the future. Um, there is still, I think, a sponsored block type available in store. Uh, there's no more long form videos in the works because I've been scrambling to get a long uh short form video out every day. Uh, that that has succeeded a bit in getting views up, although the revenue is still not not quite up. There's always whenever I start publishing a bunch of new videos, um, the views go up initially and then they actually go down a bit after that. It's just how the algorithm works, I guess. All right. So, tonight we will continue work on the block mining simulation game. uh and I pushed merged in the changes and pushed them. So the current uh primary objective is to work toward getting multiplayer working and then the the main feature is getting client side multiplayer working with the the split screen and the main task at hand for that right now is um getting uh fixing issues with the chunk loading model. So client works. Unit test works. Okay. Last night I think I made this function to create a random random cuboid. And there's one detail that I think I hadn't done. says, "Evening. How's it going Going well. [clears throat] Going well. Excellent. not being employed is addictive. You think so? I guess for uh for people who are used to being domesticated as an employee at a there's definitely withdrawal. How long I think you said the was last week or something you got laid off. [snorts] But it is uh it is it's absolutely a great thing to have control over your time. I guess for some people uh I think I've heard well it could go either way. Some people they're immediately lost and have no without direction, people telling them what to do and then other people for like for like two weeks. So like this is the greatest thing ever and then after that they go totally nuts because they kind of get back to some structure. But I guess depending on uh depending on your career, it may it may like just be like a m much needed vacation. Let's see if that works. [clears throat] didn't take a vacation while I was employed. [snorts] How How long was your uh your work streak? How long were you continuously in the grind before that? Two years, three months trying to dig myself out of financial trouble and that's unfortunate. Hopefully it's hopefully our financial trouble is not that bad. I know with uh I mean from all the uh for a while I actually haven't seen any of those in a while but what is it Gordon Gordon Ramsay or um no Dave Ramsey I think I think Ramsey somewhere in there the guy who does like uh financial help I think he's a rel religious guy and you call in there's all these people say they have tons of debt. I asked for advice and he's like, "Just eat beans and rice and work a lot and get jobs. >> [clears throat] >> That worked here to cast it to class Okay, that worked. >> [snorts] >> Never struggle to find things to work on. Just the making money part. It's a challenge. Yeah, same here. It's um there's tons of work to do. Everybody wants you to do work, but nobody wants to pay you. That's what makes everything so challenging. And um on a on a macro level, it almost seems like if you just think about the the top level amount of money that is available to make in the economy, it seems like the the percentage of money that exists that is makeable is going down. Like the only way to make money now is to just own something. Own a big asset and then it goes up. at a massive massive rate earn interest. It's a way to just make money and with doing nothing [snorts] >> [snorts] [snorts] >> Oh, nice. I just made some money. Slice of pie for thee on this this day of pie. Oh, yes. Or is it this day of it's it's almost Yeah. Pi days in 10 days, isn't it? It's March 14th, [snorts] I think. Thank you for that $10 to James Goodrich. problem with a society like that is the value isn't actually being created. [snorts] Yeah. It's um in the like and when you encourage that kind of thing like you're discouraging people from producing value. So the there's the people who actually do want to produce value they end up getting like filtered out. [snorts] What assets come to mind when you say that? Uh basically any assets um in a high inflation environment basically oh basically all assets that's like when when when inflation is really out of control people just say give me anything put my money in anything that's not money also 314 of the stream. Oh yeah I you got me there. Thank you very much. [snorts] Day half da too many days to celebrate. Problem with the society like that it's value isn't actually being created. Yeah, I think it's I think it's an accurate accurate quote. [snorts] Reminds me of the 1984 chapter reading last night. [snorts] Interesting. I haven't haven't read it, but it's it's interesting perhaps for telling that that comes to mind. If you want to make money in the long run, long term, buy shares of brando. My font's really small. P R A N D O O exclamation mark. Not sure what that is. In society, you need people to actually do things, fix things, make things. That all represents creating value. Can't just have a society where people push money around. [snorts] Yep. That's where we're going. a society that we push push money around faster and faster. We never create anything. Can raise the [snorts] rent, but it doesn't make the house better. Brando is like Gatorade drink in the Idiocracy movie. Oh, okay. It's got electrolytes. Nice. Sounds good. I want it. >> [snorts] >> H thinking about [snorts] the flow control between these different states of floating. [snorts] Meanwhile, others can never save enough to get a mortgage. [snorts] Yeah, I think the math on uh I think there's like the absurdity of our situation is starting to catch up with a lot of stuff. Messages were filtered. Oh, [snorts] yeah. That that makes me when conversations like this get filtered that makes me even more con uh conspiracy theory minded. [snorts] They they don't want us talking about these very important societal things. Uh but so much of the like the unaffordability crisis can't uh can't go on forever. I think what is happening is there's so been so much like government waste and mismanagement. It's going to get to a point where municipalities and governments are running out of money. So, they're gonna start like they're going to raise taxes uh and like invent all these like weird schemes to basically just try and like steal private assets as much as possible. But they're going to they're so financially incompetent that they're going to try to do this like super quickly. And they're just going to like go bankrupt before they can basically rob the average person through taxes and stuff like that. And then so if you can kind of ride it out and uh you know fight them off, keep your assets for a few more years, then um they're going to have to look elsewhere. Like the bond bond market is going to punish them. Countries will get bailed out. Some countries will be winners and others won't. >> [snorts] >> Wonder if something catastrophic but silent happened. The moment Bitcoin is tethered [snorts] to actual actual currency. Um [clears throat] I think um when I've come to view things perhaps instantly there's a lot more money in the system. I think there are kind of like uh I think the intuition is to see all these things as like uh like you know scams and ponzies to um like what one way to you know hypothesized about Bitcoin is that they would get everyone to like buy Bitcoin like the government would be behind Bitcoin and get everyone to buy Bitcoin and then they would just like rugpole Bitcoin and it goes instantly to zero. I I think it's possible it could go to zero someday, but I think the more profitable thing [snorts] um because if you like let's say it came out that the government rug pulled Bitcoin and then it came out that the government was behind it then everyone would get mad at the government and there'd be like lawsuits and stuff. I think the much more profitable way like for Bitcoin and also every other like financial scam out there um is in creating like anformational asymmetry and then um like just just creating like churn and news for the liquidity on it. So, Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies, there's constantly like news about like bit Bitcoin is going to go to a billion. It's buy it now. And then there's a you know there's all this hype there a hype cycle around Bitcoin's going to be good. And then for another six months people like Bitcoin you're you're a [ __ ] You deserve to lose everything because you bought what did you expect buying Bitcoin noob and then it'll crash. And if you're like on the inside and you're you have fornowledge of that and you can like um or even if you're behind the hype cycle, like if you're a millionaire, you buy a million dollar worth of Bitcoin and then spend $100,000 creating a bunch of news to drive the price up or down. Uh then you can you can make money off that, which like of course is extremely unethical and probably illegal. But I think this is more the more likely thing with everything and also even I think that's happening in like every market now. It's not necessarily the most profitable thing is not necessarily rug poles or like theft. You need a you need a plausible way to basically take the other take the other person's money and then blame them and say it's like you're it's your fault. You're a speculator. You deserve zero sympathy. just like with with housing. Housing has been crazy here in Canada. And then they brought in this um uh I don't know if you saw in the US, but they like I still don't fully grasp of understanding of it, but we have these like Aboriginal like land claims over basically all of Canada. And then they recently decided to like the federal government basically gave away Vancouver city like the entire all private property is like technic they say um uh the eight Aboriginal groups uh this specific Aboriginal group has has a claim on the title to like all property in Vancouver. which is like uh a completely that like that has real impacts for people's um like they're not going to come take it from you tomorrow. But it means that like if you want to get financing, a bank will not loan money if the title is in dispute of a property because if there's like a lean or something and get in, they'll say like get get this resolved in the court and then come back to us. But the fact that the government has now just like thrown this curveball and made any kind of financing thrown that into question now like there's an implied loss of value because if you can't I guess if you sell it now you can't you can't um sell it to someone in finance. So that decreases the buyer pool and then there's like potential litigation in the future. And so if you if you can like create circumstances like that where you build a market and then like manipulate the market using policy and stuff and then in like 10 years can get resolved and then you know meanwhile like the price went you force the price down 20%. So you can like pocket that 20%. And then later you make the problem go away and then your your asset goes up 20% immediately [snorts] and you you can't really um nobody blames you. [snorts] When do you project World War II will start? Um my understanding of the geopolitics of World War II is it started um basically around 2014 when that airliner was downed in the Donbass region and it's kind of been slowly ramping up from there. um and significantly ramped up in around COVID and then it's been ramping up even more starting with the bombing of Iran back uh six months ago mid with midnight hammer and then I guess in the last the last few days it kind of almost seems like we're uh like it's it's a it's a real World War II like it's not even like a joke anymore. If you tried looking for jobs in finance, if you know SQL, it's pretty nice nice field. Building Excel sheets, the Never Die in loan trust structures, balance sheet, accounting, and treasury. Actually, originally before I became a software engineer, I wanted to become a quantitive analyst and that's what I thought I would do. Um, and then even as far back as like 200 nine or so, actually I worked at a I actually worked for a Forex market maker writing software for their uh this was just an internship but um I when when I saw the how the sausages made there I originally I kind of wanted to do like independent retail trading trying to do like automated trading But um I guess maybe I could that could be something I could still do, but at the same time I don't I wouldn't really consider it um that much better than a regular software dev job. I it probably would be basically the same and probably still quite competitive. From what I've known, most of those places are like super uh super boring and old-fashioned. You got to wear a suit and tie, work regular, 9 to5, and and the pay is usually below market. It's less than like the uh flashy companies, Amazons and the Fang companies. That's my understanding of it. Eating popcorn, staying for a little sounds good. My last got censored. Guess I'm done for the night. Oh, that's unfortunate. Now we'll never know what you had to say. That's that's disappointing that people are getting sent. We're not We're not not talking about anything bad. >> [snorts] >> Come on, AI. Stop censoring us. Good evening. How are you today? I'm [snorts] pretty good. Making a little bit of progress every day. How are you doing? >> [snorts] >> What are you coding for? I'm working on a terminal based video game where you can simulate the process of finding blocks of iron ore. And I'm currently working on uh a chunk loading module. Doing good. Starting to work on a few projects I've been holding. Been on for a few years. Very satisfying. Yeah, [snorts] I've heard um vi like this a a aentic vibe coding thing is that is kind of good now for like projects like the kind of projects that you would never bother work working on. But if you can just like describe it to an AI and then get an AI to crank on it and then come back and like check and see if it's any good. Problem [snorts] is once you start thinking conspiratorally seems to warp your perception. Once people start to believe BS, they're more suspicious, more susceptible to believing BS, more BS. Well, the the pro that's the problem, though. What if it's a what if uh you're continually shown BS? That's it's basically the I think the general term is the the trust dividend. If people have more trust in society, then they can uh you know, you don't don't have to spend money on security cameras and stuff. When you trust each other, but when nobody trusts anybody, then you got to pay for law enforcement and security cameras and background checks. What What if it's What if it's right, but they're in denial? Yeah, that's random. It says concurrent reviewers 24 and 17. Said 14 a minute ago. [snorts] Ignorance is bliss. It's true. I guess it can be bliss. Sometimes people are just so uh they're ignorant but they they they don't realize they're they're ignorant but miserable and they don't realize they're miserable. Misery is due to someone else's behavior. >> [snorts] [clears throat] >> cool project. Thank you. Apple released a budget MacBook for 800 bucks. [snorts] Yeah, that's they've been uh They're uh decreasing the value of their brand, diluting the value of their brand by putting in all these budget products. They're no longer a luxury brand. [snorts] They're a cheap brand for poor people. Thanks for the answer. I think you would find, as you said, it's not glamorous. Can be boring but comfortable. Work from home as a treasury analyst 100k salary small CEO bank opportunity to focus hobbies in life work practically 30 hours week full-time. [snorts] Yeah, those are uh [snorts] I don't know if if it's a I guess depends if it's government job or I mean those jobs exist but at the same time like it's so easy to like especially in the economy today to think like oh I'll just get one of those jobs it'll be easy then you end up investing massive amounts of time and money trying to trying to chase that job and you can't find one. So, you like, you know, take your second best pick and then you get laid off in 6 months. I guess if you if you have a job like that, especially in this environment, you should hold on to it. never buy a Max product, but family sold a Mac product. What's up, Robert? How are you doing? I'm doing well. I'm um slowly grinding away, slowly making progress. I raised $10 today toward the uh World Domination Fund. I've been getting a I got the channel views up a little bit more with some shorts videos recently. How are you doing? [snorts] Keep going, sir. I will. Thank you. [snorts] Interesting. It looks like that the concurrent viewers went up. I think it hit it hit 27 or something which is um that's the highest it's been in a while. So it seems like that's the main thing that's necessary for to get channel views up. I just have to post a lot of shorts. [snorts] Make that $30. Oh wow. Thank you very much to gamedev chat for the $20. $20 US too. Thank you very much. [snorts] YouTube knows what it's doing. Gamifying the chat, seeing all those giving people all those bright colors whenever someone super chats. Maybe because you placed a video at the same time the stream started. Uh, did I I I've been I've been putting out one shorts video every day. I think that the video I the uh the short I put out today I put it I released it I think around noon or something. So it's around 12 probably 12 hours ago. But I think it's because um I just have a lot of shorts. So when when there's just more content coming out on the stream, it [snorts] seems to lift up the whole channel. which I guess makes sense. They don't want to they don't want to give views to dead channels, but it's um it's kind of annoying because I guess the thing I have to do is keep just keep posting a lot even if it's low quality because I need lowquality posts to get views on the higher quality stuff. But then if I'm constantly making lowquality posts, that consumes time from the higher quality content, which is arguably better and much more durable. >> [clears throat and cough] >> Look like you're doing well. Same here. I have a question. Do you ever use nano instead of vim? Um the only time I use nano is I think when I try to edit what is it I think um I think I think sometimes merge conflicts there's there's some there's a few things where when I try to edit it the default editor is set to nano for some reason. I think it I think that happens with merge conflicts. Uh but other than that uh I try to not use nano Okay, that lets me specify the max number of pending chunks. >> [snorts] >> Um, okay. So, what I want to start doing is what are your hobbies other than dev? Um [snorts] honestly I I mean in the last uh over time my uh like hobbies other the thing other things I spend time on. I guess um as time as as time goes by my my time has just been filtered more into more and more into like work more try to make more videos. Um try to work on not getting evicted. Uh the whole eviction fiasco process uh that has taken up a way more resources than I expected in terms of time. I mean it would it was revealing about the state of society and governments and municipalities and or activist organizations and stuff. Uh so I guess honestly the the best reflection of my my hobbies slashwork which I kind of consider the same thing uh is all the stuff on my YouTube channel. Um so the uh stuff like the videos about like semiconductor analysis and stuff that's the all that the totality of all that has been uh pretty much all consuming trying to build my business the years of the hundreds of blog posts that I wrote that nobody reads which my my my party has been like wake up trying to work all day until I get enough money to pay rent and food and then once I have some spare money that I can like, you know, get out and uh get more classical hobbies and stuff. But uh ever since I guess there was a blip after COVID, I had a little bit of bit more spare money after COVID stimulus um pushed up everything in the economy. But uh ever since then spend there's just less and less money that comes in from everywhere. So I got to work more. Got to fight more landlords to keep my apartment. So less less and less time for hobbies. Fun hobbies anyway. Um, so this is running in a separate thread. Hope everything goes well. Um the the renovation, so we we won the renovation. Um I think something like half the tenants just left the building. Um, so there's uh the the original N13 evictions have all been dismissed. Um, but then the uh the landlord uh immediately stated their their intention to appeal. Um, and I got some papers due in my mail slot, but I have not seen I've not had any official confirmation that the appeal has actually been filed. And it's almost like six months now. I guess on the 14th it'll be coming up. Six months since they supposedly are found an appeal, but I haven't seen any there's no case numbers. I haven't seen any communication for the court. I emailed the court um because that it's a I guess it's a whole process. So there's like almost everyone in the building is named on it and then um I'm also on there. It's a separate party and the tenant board is involved. So it's like [clears throat] the the divisional court is involved. The lower court, the tenant board is involved. Um, and then 30 something tenants are on the case under the this like free legal clinic. Uh, and then I'm also uh one of the parties on the on the case an appeal on your rent eviction. Uh, yeah. So the so we let's see we had there was a total of four um if if you want the full details I have um there's a two-hour long video if you check the long form video it's on my channel there's a 2hour long video that goes through the entire process. Um anyway there was uh there was a total of four different hearings that were scheduled. The first one got cancelled and then re they rescheduled to a sooner uh hearing called an adjudicative case conference where so they they can they it was just a hearing between me and the landlord. Then they canceled that pulled me into a a massive hearing with the rest of the building. So like all 30 people were there uh including the free legal clinic. So we did that adjudicative case conference that was like to answer the question should the cases be combined? Do they have facts in common? Uh and then the conclusion was yes. So then we had the first IN13 merits hearing in I forget that was in the middle of summer and then uh the second because there was tons of we went through all this evidence about the pipes and the plans and expert witnesses testified and stuff and then we had the second one second 13 merits hearing uh October 6th and then uh so about half of the cases got dismissed on a technicality of uh comp not properly delivering compensation checks. The second half got dismissed on the basis of u not meeting the merits. They so they had to um uh there was three different like clauses in this thing. We we only had to prove one of them. They they had to prove it was necessary. They had to prove that renovations are necessary, that they're so extensive they require vacant possession. Uh and then I forget the the other third criteria. Uh and they according to tenant report, they said they did not they did not prove any of them. So we only needed to win on one account, but we run on all three. which basically meant the the justification was totally bogus. Um uh so it was a pretty you know solid win I think. Uh and then like uh uh you asked about deadline for the appeal. They there is a deadline for the appeal. It's like with a few a couple weeks or a few weeks or something and they appeal like almost immediately I think. [clears throat] Um I I think they did. So they they submitted some papers through May. So uh which supposedly indicates that they're filing an appeal, but uh I think it's like the preliminary paperwork before they actually had filed it. Uh and so they they could have theoretically just put those papers through a mail mail slot and then did not file the not file them. Uh but I'm uh still now just uh there's no no word from no word from the court on uh on any kind of case numbers or anything. So uh I I think it's my guess is they're probably just um hopefully trying to get rid of more tenants. I I really don't think they have much to uh much justification. Okay. >> [snorts] >> is there in communication to the other tenants encouraging them not to be scared by the appeal. [clears throat] Um there there was like uh we did have tenant meetings and stuff. I don't I don't know if if you watched that uh two hour long video that I made but um that should give you the idea about like the kind of tone of I I think um for a bunch of tenants like some tenants are um uh a lot of them are just like fed up with it. They don't even really want to um well I guess most most of anyone who's still here now kind of knows what's up. you know, it's just they're just kind of like, I don't I don't care anymore. Like, if it's if I have to move, I'll I'll I'll move, but they're just like gonna ignore that. Like, they're fed up with not only the landlord, but also like all these activist organizations and tenant unions and other other people in the building. Again, [snorts] your video and where you've ended up resonates with a lot of people. Can I imagine it's not easy sharing your story, very knowledgeable, have lots of lots of lots of hidden potential in terms of life and career. Yeah, I I think um honestly [snorts] it's uh uh to be honest, it is kind of easy for me to share. I personally I don't really care. Uh I think it's um uh I think it's also useful for society to just illuminate like how uh crappy the situ situation is for a lot of people because it's not just me living here. There's um you know 60 some other people who got the same notice in this in this building and this is not even the only building in the city this is happening to and this is happening in other cities and this landlord has like 10 properties he's doing this under and it's other landlords doing this. Um and then of course all the you know long list of grievances with the tech the tech world. If we don't shed some light on these problems and talk about them then they won't go away. >> [clears throat] [snorts] >> watching those videos about the renoviction. It's been so crazy to me. I grew up in a house my parents bought. [snorts] I was out of the German countryside. Just not aware anything like that is h is just happening. Yeah, I think it's um I think it's just it's been like a recent thing. Uh I I think it just there's been so there's been an escalation of just like nonsense and decay in society. And I think the uh like there's so much there's so much going on right now in the world that this is creating an opportunity for like predators to do to like perpetrate this uh especially these like uh these like long- winded hard to articulate kind of like civil warfare type activities. you can you can get away with it because if someone if like first of all very few people will actually sit down and like describe the problem like I don't know if you watched my um if you watched my 2hour video update uh if you watched the section about um it's like an hour and a half in I think about um uh the city council meeting where they talked about the the variance application [snorts] and like that is I think a perfect microcosm of um like that that was a that was so much um effort and stress expended on that and it was just such a complicated issue that totally didn't matter and it sidracked people from doing something that was it would actually be useful for them. Um, and when you've got a complicated issue with that, like with a variance application, and then you you wish the news about like what's going on in Iran right now, like nobody cares. Who cares about that kind of thing when there's even there's even other like escalations domestically? Like there's just so much chaos going on to try and um, you know, get public public attention on fixing the issues with the municipal zoning or municipal bi uh like um what is it municipal variance application process no one has the uh the interest in like uh thinking about it or there's just not the attention for it I think it's also it's a generational >> [snorts] >> Um, historically I think it's been better to live in the cities, but I think it's becoming the tide is turning and cities are kind of like becoming a more more of like an older like extractive type of thing. Like if um there's so many um e everyone the government all these private equity firms they're trying to squeeze more money out of the system and it's just more and more examples of like crazy injustices. Uh like there was a CDB thing on um uh there was some uh a condo owner had like a friend over and then they they ended up getting like and a bunch of these uh condo places they have like advanced surveillance in them now too. So they they like tried to find this person or like I think they they find them or warned them because this person had a friend over a friend to visit in their condo that they they own. They're not even renting it. And then the condo board like tried to sue them and said they uh they were like violating this they're not allowed to have friends over or like they're violating I don't know some terms of conditions or something and like like technically um like if it's if you're there was an actual noise complaint and the police are called I can sympathize with it but the they're just kind of like the the temperature where like frogs being boiled. The temperature is just increasing and increasing and it's it's starting to become absurd where you have stuff like that where the price is going up but the the quality is going down and there's just so many different ways to like scam you for a little bit more money. like it used to be like in this place the leases are um uh the original leases are everything included but now they're splitting it out. Hydro is separate, water is separate. Um, and of course now you got to get insurance and stuff too. And they Oh, yeah. And like parking was included, but now it's like it's extra and it costs like 250 bucks a month. And uh it's just so many different ways to to shake you down. Wasn't the variance where normally it's small change, they just had like a list of changes. I think vaguely remembered that part. Uh so the variance was uh really the the variance the the gist of it was the variance was an unrelated thing. As far as I understand, the fence had nothing to do with the eviction process, but for some somehow uh like some people do here do have parking and the implication and another issue was the landlord tried to raise their everyone people had contracts about how much their rent was or how much their parking space cost like 50 bucks or whatever a month and then the landlord tried to raise it to 250 bucks a month and lock them And so there was um they took that to to the tenant board and my understanding is they won eventually, but for some reason uh I saw in an email correspondents that someone said the variance they had to win the variance to win on the T2 application at the tenant board which are totally different jurisdictions. Uh but that maybe there was some justification with the zoning or something. But in hindsight, I heard from another tenant that they won on the ten they won on the T2 at the tenant board for the parking issue, but we still lost on the variance. So the variance didn't even matter for the parking issue and it definitely didn't matter for the eviction issue. And there was all these like, you know, minutiae of like they were supposed to uh they were thinking about posting the sign more and they went back and forth and um tenants talked about their legitimate grievances with not enough parking and so the whole thing was just u there's tons of details and analysis but it it completely doesn't matter. But we formed this tenant union. and we're going to work together to fight the renovations and then a bunch of people just ended up fighting this stupid parking variance that [snorts] um I don't even know why we fought that uh I didn't uh I posted a bit on my website but yeah it's just a [snorts] something to distract us I guess read about cities moved with my wife to the countryside have an hour commute to work. Soon as we had the opportunity to leave, we did. It's great being a part of a small community. Feel [snorts] valued. Yeah. I think um I think that the case for cities. Uh my my current perspective is that cities make way more sense when you're younger. Uh like it it it was a good meeting place. like I did meet there's some you know people that I still correspond with who I met at university in that environment. Uh but like here when I go out and walk around like the the environment here is just uh it's changing. So there's just more and more like random homeless people and stuff. Like when I was on campus, uh I think I remember I was on the bus around campus and there was someone else on the on the bus who was talking about Vim commands or like you know assignments or courses and stuff, but around here there's just there's like a random schizophrenic guy that rocks around and always yells about the the Germans and the Chinese and all kinds of nonsense. That's a that's one of the familiar guys around here. Uh it's old ladies. Uh the immigration still seems like it's still having an impact here. Uh so there like, you know, lots of lots of new arrivals. They're not bad people, but it's um hard to communicate with them. They a lot of them just have like, you know, young families. not really interested in talking about startups or something to random people. So my my connection to the place is uh waning over time. All right, I guess I put in my hour tonight. I didn't get too much done. I guess [snorts] that's a the disadvantage of when there's more people coming to the stream, I get less work done. >> [snorts] >> Um, but I guess I I got got some uh this was a very productive super chat night. All right. [snorts] I guess I'll probably leave it there for tonight. Um, so the next steps are I [snorts] can create a random cuboid. I think I will I've got to I got to figure out I guess I think the weight the weights currently the inmemory chunks class works. I'll probably start off the test by um I'll have to have a uh so in the mock client I'll keep track of the the uncued requests and that that's going to happen asynchronously on the thread. So, I'll probably have to uh a luck synchronizing that. Yeah, I'm going to have to some flow control stuff otherwise it'll deadlock. [snorts] Great talking. Thanks for talking with all of us. Wishing you the best. Thank you very much. All right, have a good night, guys. We'll be back uh tomorrow for day 315 later.
