Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@zachstar says : Get the "Fundamental Theorem of Engineering" shirt here!: https://stemerch.com/collections/fundamental-theorem-of-engineering>> <<@attacus7168 says : Oooooh thata why galen erso sabatoged it>> <<@0rangeG says : The most unrealistic thing about this are the layoffs in HR to finance it not like the most essential workers of the organization...>> <<@AgneDei says : "-As a matter of fact, matter can be annihilated into energy" --Force choke in progress>> <<@JohnDor-w6d says : I thought we are in the star wars universe>> <<@VIadlV says : We don't want to sacrifice theatrics for efficacy. 3:50 why is this too relatable>> <<@egg1645 says : This is what my first job felt like. It's like talking to a brick wall. The worst part is that they were suprised the build turned out poorly when i had been SCREAMING the entire time at the top of my lungs to specifically NOT do what they did. Please people, for the love of god, read the texts your engineers send you. It will save you money, and time for the family, and headache, and possibly your entire company. It went something like this: Me: hey, this looks MASSIVE. are you sure you were talking about the circumference of the product and not the diameter? This seems like a mixup between the two. Bosses: no, that's the diameter. Go ahead and build it! Me: are you SURE SURE, because there's no feasable way this would fit. I ran a model using this as the circumference, and it looks a lot more reasonable, it seems like this is what you intended. You're absolutely sure it's the diameter? Bosses: no we had it right, go build that! Excited to see the results. Me (ONE FINAL TIME): are you ABSOLUTELY sure? I'm not sure this is what you intended, this seems massive for this design. There's no way this would fit... Bosses: yes build it, it's fine! "Okay, here's the finished product. Not sure why you wanted it to be this massive but I was able to design structural supports around the bottom that are actually really effective at holding that giant ring--" "oh no, what? that's way too big" *thousands have been spent on it at this point* I died a thousand times that day. I am the biggest optimist about humanity you will ever meet, but that was one of the most profound expressions of stupidity I've ever experienced. It's not that I'm "so much smarter" than anyone else, more so that I would at least listen if my engineer is screaming at me that something is a massive mistake. Looking back on it, I sometimes wonder if they read my notifications at all. It made me kind of sad, dude, like I was in my teens at the time and these people are in their 40s and 50s contracting a custom robot, at least LISTEN WHEN I TELL YOU ITS COOKED DUDE JKAVB NBCXN. I'm in my early 20s now, and that scenario taught me that "intelligence," at least in the way we percieve it, doesn't matter that much in cooperate america: No matter how "smart" or "dumb" you think you are, I promise you I would rather work with your wonderful self than that company again. Collaboration is what makes good things happen. Listening to specialists is overpowered for a reason. LET YOUR EMPLOYEES FIX THINGS KJHNSUCJVHGNSHRSEJKLUAXSGNNKEVH LISTEN TO THEMMMMMMMMMM PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU>> <<@icefire5799 says : Oh now thats a gold mine really spread this out.>> <<@НекојНекојоски says : Him wanting the laser thing and the engineer telling him no is exactly how I imagine architects and engineers interact>> <<@kevinfrushour says : Tractor beams as cool, but from a reality standpoint bug me (I was expecting this to be brought up). It's like shooting a water hose at a ball and having the ball come TO you instead of being blasted away.>> <<@stvargas69 says : I'm signing up on Brilliant I wanna fund the Death Star to see a cool laser show>> <<@Toby-NL says : For those who ever taught their live as storm trooper suck 🤣 It’s like being the guy in the movie who was told to desing and build the “Bradly” by a bunch of “money grubbing idiots” and find yourself writing desperate cryptic notes to possible the last straw you have “airforce officer , task whit inspection” 🤣>> <<@Toby-NL says : For those who ever taught their live as storm trooper suck 🤣>> <<@hellobenoliver says : The amount of channels pushing “Brilliant” reminds me of the hype around FTX. I’m not saying Brilliant is a scam, and a lot of assholes took the money and pumped FTX during the super bowl… but c’mon… Fuck it. I see a video with a “Brilliant” mid-roll, or even pre-roll, I immediately disengage. Fuck this timeline>> <<@rich2365 says : Star Wars came out 49 years ago and we're still making fun of it. I love it!>> <<@ogglabooga says : Lemmie just stick something that generates 10^38 watts( 12 orders of magnitude greater than Sol) in an object half the diameter of Saturns moon minmus>> <<@lolixnikt647 says : It hurts me a little more every time someone brings up "laser logic" with the star wars "lasers". They aren't lasers they are energy channeled through a kyber crystal, same as lightsabers, they are not actually "light">> <<@TheJawadAbdullah. says : Galen Erso talking to Palpatine probably>> <<@LubomirKubasdQw4w9WgXcQ says : Unc knows the niche tree (3)>> <<@pewnit says : Can't believe Tony Gilroy stole this concept from Zach to create Andor.>> <<@aegrisomnia says : I love dealing with the idea-guy/client. 😆🔫>> <<@SandraOrtmann1976 says : Pretty sure Vader would not have briefed the engineer, but Papa Palps.>> <<@foldometry290 says : Math with bad drawings kor>> <<@Xezian says : My biggest problem with the Death Star is that the planets blow up. It’s effectively a giant lightsaber mixed with blaster technology, there should be an explosion sure, but I would think it would instead of instantly kablooming the whole planet all at once would actually vaporize the atmosphere and breach a hole into the center of the planet and then out the other side. Everything would still die but instead of a big boom it would be because they all burn alive when the atmosphere ignites, they are all hit by a massive shockwave that circles the planet over and over and over, and then they’re drowned in the molten core of the planet erupting mixed with massive tidal waves and city leveling earthquakes. This would probably make the cataclysmic devastation take minutes while still annihilating any hope of people on the ground escaping, and I think making an entire planet suffer for like 3 minutes is much more evil than one instant boom snuffing them out immediately.>> <<@ramaSwamp says : The most unreal part of this skit is that he asked for 12 workers and PM didn't lower it to 6.>> <<@centurion7398 says : HR layoffs!? I’m in.>> <<@tedrpz says : The space station part isn’t that unfeasible for an an empire comprised of thousands of system and containing hundreds of trillions possible quadrillions of people the planet destroying laser is the crazy part>> <<@terrified5.7 says : Yeah this fits Anakin's himbo nature XD>> <<@PaulyinParis619 says : Graham’s number cubed…>> <<@hthrun says : I can't help but imagine all the flying saliva in that mask when Vader made those blast noises...>> <<@dmc8706 says : Can matter be created or destroyed. No. However it can be pretty thoroughly rearranged.....>> <<@LucianDevine says : But if matter can't be created or destroyed, how are we making a Death Star?>> <<@ralphcontreras1230 says : This was a deleted scene from Episode 3. They should have left it in because it would have made the movie actually watchable.>> <<@Ocastia says : It does bug me that you choose Vader instead of Kreenic for project Stardust. After all this is his achievement, not yours.>> <<@blakehorner2949 says : As an engineer...I feel...SEEN. Thank you for this lol. Subscription is well-earned!>> <<@connor9024 says : Darth vader build C-3PO in a cave! With a bucket of scraps!>> <<@supasunotchi3355 says : 3:20 We’re all thinking it, right?>> <<@ChristopherPearson-u1u says : If it takes forever to build, having it close to home would be nice.>> <<@ChristopherPearson-u1u says : 12 employees making infinite money a year until the end of time…nice.>> <<@azurelion6722 says : Wait until you see OSHA for Star Wars.>> <<@Augoeides32 says : "Ooh, but what if... we didn't want to build the Death Star on a fucking farm?" I lost it.>> <<@xcreeperxplodius5202 says : 1:05 talks about generating gravity while sitting in a ship with it’s own artificial gravity>> <<@RealBelisariusCawl says : Character makes joke about being confidently wrong Claims to have gained this knowledge with the aid of the sponsor … how did they not see this trolling? Did they approve this? lol.>> <<@GOC7153 says : wait so Pie = 3, but also Pie = 2 ? im not smart enough for this>> <<@grants7390 says : Alderon is made of matter, which can neither be created nor destroyed.>> <<@thenaturalpeoplesbureau says : destructive interference 🤣>> <<@adamrussell658 says : Combining laser beams actually isnt impossible. Just put crystal out there to absorb then re-emit them. Probably the easiest part.>> <<@Coffy-chan says : The weirdest thing about the Death Star is how unnecessary it was. Fleets had been glassing planets with ordinary battleships for thousands of years, yet the Sith were obsessed with these planetary superweapons. They literally built dozens of them. Every film, novel, comic, or game featured a new one, going back thousands of years. But like, glassing a planet is so much less resources intensive on every front. Or even a superweapon that just renders the planet silent. You don't have to destroy the actual thing. What a waste of exploitable resources.>> <<@DaCanadianbear says : Lockheed Martin is canon to the star wars Timeline>> <<@Vohlfied says : "What kind of works do we live in where you neither prove nor disprove the Riemann Hypothesis?!" "....same one we live in now, I guess?">>
