I think that it was in the early 1970s that my brother-in-law and I attended the Canadian National Exhibition's Air Show in Toronto. We sat at the very western end of Ontario Place close to the rocks lining the bank of the waters of Lake Ontario when an SR71 flew directly over us at low altitude heading west. As it did so it started a gradual climb which meant that we were looking directly into the jet engines and the white hot exhaust. I will never forget the sheer beauty of that aircraft, the crackling sound of the engines and the vibration that I felt in the grass upon which I was sitting. I remember the hairs rising on the back of my neck and the lump in my throat that was caused by the beauty and the evident power of this aircraft. I will remember that day 'till the day I die.

It still blows my mind, how you get such a big jet in the air. RIP Major Brian Shul. When I have a bad day, I watch this video and after that, I'm good to go. Thank you for that too.

I watch the other 😂funny Sled drive vids. quite often, but always finish off watching this Rest easy Sir, you have earned it.

nice job. I am interested in finite element programs based on C++ and hope to see your more exciting results

Apparently any thing can be called "first principles" these days. As long as the title sounds cool, any BS material is sold as top tier in Machine learning research

I think people over estimate consciousness in it's complexity. I think it's the process of a species that developed to be complex enough because there was enough energy dispersion in the big bang to cause that to happen. It is beneficial for a life to become self-aware to a higher degree as it allows for more knowledge and furthers it's evolution. It's not magic. But that doesn't make it any less fascinating to understand and I think people feel like when something is explained, it takes the "mystery" out and they feel it doesn't mean anything anymore. I find that baffling. Knowing how something works doesn't make it any less cool. I think the fundamental scientific arguing of proof of faith is inherently misunderstanding of what probability actually means. Conditions for life were one in a billion or whatever the number is. That doesn't mean impossible. In fact, i means, given enough time with the right conditions, the improbable WILL happen. Life is inevitable as improbable as it's calculated to be. If conditions are present for long enough, every probability will eventually happen, no matter how infinitesimal the chances. To put it a really simple way. Roll a 20 sided dice. Get 20 five times in a row. You have the same probability every roll to get it, but getting it at all and getting it consecutively is a far lower probability. Get a few thousand or more people to all do this. Someone will get it. Even though the probability is low, enough time and iterations means that someone will succeed in something that seems incredibly improbable. Because that's how probability actually works. Enough time and chance and it will happen. Existence is the same. We are inevitable because conditions existed to foster the probability to exist at all. And everything is cause and effect. Nothing happens with out other things. The one thing we don't know is also likely a limitation of the fact that we don't understand infinity or nothing as a concept. We get it abstractly, but our brains due to being things that have an expiration date likely do not. Most egregiously what I don't understand is, if there is a creator and there is some missing information that could prove that, why would it at all revolve around us when we know the universe is massive? it seems so ego-centric. I want a movie where the major Abrahamic god is real, but they don't care at all specifically about humans. We're just part of a greater equation of blue and orange morality. We were told or just outright assumed that said creator said we're special because we want to feel special as a survival mechanism. After all, we're terrified of death, as any creature is that's alive. So we came up with an explanation after finding proof that there is a creator because we don't want to die. And an afterlife is basically you don't really die. But this god doesn't even have time for us. We're such a blip and they have far far bigger things to be concerned about. It would be such a subversion to the self-circling idea our religions today have. I think religion is basically the desire to still be parented, to be cared for, to feel like you matter and that's a perfectly reasonable thing to want as a species so aware of it's own expiration date. But to assume that a literal other being that isn't our own kind, be they magical, metaphysical or alien is ALL about us? Not to mention the billions of other living creatures on this planet, but who cares about them, right? That's the weirdest part of it all for me. I prefer the religions and ideas of the ancient world where they all said Gods are also kind of jerks and don't necessarily think we're the be all end all. That makes much more sense if there was another being that had the means to create life on a planet. In short, no, I don't think that misunderstanding of probability in all proves the existence of a creator. In fact, if anything, it indicates the exact opposite.

Thankyou Brian Shul for this talk. And thankyou Kelly Johnson for letting me ogle the most beautiful plane in the world.

Can never get an honest answer by a current government official. They are not going to discredit a former President. We all know the single greatest shift in Putin's calculation was in 2014, when Obama failed to step up to the plate. He slapped Putin on wrist with minimal sanctions. What authoritarian revisionist would not take some low-level economic retaliation for a prized land??? Secondly, Biden knew that Russia was planning an invasion, but failed to stop it. When Putin sent troops into the breakaway regions in the east of Ukraine, 48 hours before the full-scale invasion, Biden slapped Putin with sanctions... again... Putin now figured that he could topple the government in a few days and get punished with economic sanctions. It is as simple as that. US failed because US refused to arm Ukraine with lethal weapons ever since the 2014 actions by Putin. Hesitancy and appeasement emboldened Putin because the West looked, plain and simple, WEAK. And expansionist authoritarians are emboldened by weakness. Google what Hitler thought about the Allies after the Munich Agreement...

This is a very interesting talk, but I will tilt against the windmill of obnoxious jargon and point out that the word "compute" is a VERB and there is nothing wrong with the word "computATION"!

What a great talk, great man

🙏🏻

When I first saw this The cherry on the whipped cream was Eva Cassidy who I never heard of sang over the rainbow and it tied a bow with what Brian had said earlier about knowing the words to the song it was so fitting. I don't know why they took it away after finding out Eva Cassidy passed from cancer, an unknown artist with a voice of an Angel, I thought it would be an honor to be able to use her music in this story ! God bless you brian what a tail to tell you did it perfectly extremely entertaining it makes you say a prayer for this world ! It's a simple fix. You just live your lives on this Earth like a 12-year-old . 😊

Migs are struggling, and you have 4 inches of throttle left in your 57 chevy. Fuck yeah! Bad Arsh!

I can't understand the fundamental assumption (first introduced at 11:30) that the weights are random variables. This is only true for an untrained network at the very first step of training. Thereafter, and certainly for a trained network, the weights are not random. As a matter of fact, much effort has gone into extracting or controlling the distribution of the weights. Explicitly, in the case of variational autoencoders, for example. And one can empirically observe that many CNN kernels develop obvious low-entropy patterns, particularly in the first layers. Can anyone help me to understand what I am missing here?

Similarity, equivalence = Duality. Input (thesis) is dual to output (synthesis) -- problem, reaction, solution or the Hegelian dialectic. Neural networks conform to the Hegelian dialectic. Your mind is a reaction or impulse response to input problems -- thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis. Cause is dual to effect -- correlation. "Always two there are" -- Yoda. Concepts are dual to percepts -- the mind duality of Immanuel Kant.

If the universe followed other mathematical models, we would use these other models. There is no surprise that our models work. His financial argument is wrong: money is created out of nothing. Anyone who needs money has to borrow it from a central bank. The amount borrowed is exactly the amount he has to pay back to the central bank (plus interest). The sum of his assets and his debts is 0. The observation that every effect has a cause does not mean that everything must have a cause. This assumption leads to an infinite regress. God would also have to have a cause. There would have to be a creator of the creator and a creator of the creator of the creator … It is not surprising that we live in this world and observe it. If we did not exist, we would not observe it. The probability of our world is 1, because it exists. It is like drawing the ace of spades. Before drawing, the probability is 1:52. Once it has been drawn, the probability of being drawn is 1. The argument is abysmal. He gave not s single evidence for a god, and especially his God.

Great, insightful talk! Learned a lot here.

I could watch this over and over.! Thank you to all SR 71 pilots and crew members.! Your the Best.! You are why America is the best.! ✨️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️✊️

Great 🎉

Sorry to hear of his passing. I bought his book, shook his hand and he wrote inspiring words in the book to my young son who now flies Apache helicopters for the Army. God bless you, sir. Thank you for your distinguished service to our country and your inspiration to successive generations of aviators.

I’ve just heard today that Brian passed last year (and on my own birthday to make it more poignant). Remember telling my daughter the LA Speed Story when we visited Duxford and stood under the SR71 they have there. RIP sir you were a genuine hero and legend

A plane conceived on paper with pen that computers today can not improve on.

I listen to this every time it pops up on my feed. Just shows what you can do when put your mind to it

Fear of what might happen is the worst.

I'll save you some time. He presents no evidence whatsoever. It's a full hour of a guy using a god as an explanation for things we don't yet understand, while insisting he just can't believe things could be the way they actually are without "divine intervention". Zero evidence. What's most striking is that none of the arguments he uses are even what led him to believe in a god in the first place.

True inspiration !!!!!!!!!!

Sad to read that he has passed. I met him at the Cleveland National Air Show and bought a autographed copy of his book Sled Driver. Rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏

WLC is just an above average charlatan.

Brian, Rest in Peace. You will always be known as the fastest man over Los Angeles.

Thanks for sharing this.

This is my favorite talk of any topic I've ever heard. This is just one of the best examples of why the United States is the best country in the world. 🇺🇸

I came here via a James May video on YT. What an Imagineer, what a Pilot, what a Man, what a brilliant legend, what an education this YT presentation sure is. RIP, and Godspeed Sir! We need more likw Mr Shul!! I hope it's not true, his passing.

Godspeed, Brian. You were a true stud, and a great many men would do well to work to live up to your memory.

amazing individual thank you Brian

The story of Jesus is an invented fiction. Can you name a single eyewitness (outside the bible) who mentions one word about Jesus in any of his writings? (there were several historians and writers living contemporaneously, for example: Philo)

Saying the atheist has the burden of proof and must show that god doesn't have good reason for suffering is outrageous, the burden of proof is very much on you to show that he does. I'd give the example of infant mortality and how awfully diseases affect children under 5.

Great guy. Glad he was with us for a time.

Thanks for honoring free speech. The only "evidence" there ever was for the anti-scientific belief that the universe was created ... was faith ... and that is why the theologians *that never agreed with each other's theories ... taught their followers ... "Keep Thy Faith. Thankfully … now that hundreds of members of clergy of various religions are leaving their indoctrinations behind ... as being nothing other than misleading information … there is hope for everyone. From the book ... Apostle to Apostate: The Story of the Clergy Project … authors … Catherine Dunphy, Richard Dawkins When you are reared to think of your faith and its leaders as infallible, dissent can be an unsettling thing. This is particularly true for clergy, who have devoted their lives to the subject of faith. I therefore especially hope that this story reaches those clergy who have yet to articulate their doubts. As they struggle through this process, I am thankful that they can look to the Clergy Project as an example of community and humanism as an example of good. As former clergy who have left churches of every denomination, synagogues, mosques, convents, monasteries, and theological institutions, we stand as examples of the reasonableness of doubt and its thoughtful conclusions. I cannot help but think that we offer a compelling voice for why science and secularism do a better job than religion and superstition of answering the so-called ultimate questions.

He's now having a laugh with the angels hearing stories of how he sonic boomed their feathers time and again. Rest in peace sir,you are truly one of a kind.

Amazing presentation. God bless America 🇺🇸

What lovely chap.

JOB WELL DONE RIP SIR

Sir your a treasure !

I have to wonder… It would have had to been 1978 or 1979 I think. I was in a line truck heading to the F-4 Phantom alert area at Seymour Johnson AFB. We were on the road parallel to the runway and a SR 71 with the gear up appeared out of nowhere, ran the length of the runway, and disappeared as fast as it appeared. It was an amazing sight to say the least. By any chance at all could it have been Brian Shul??? I’d sure like to know. It would mean a lot to this old Air Force Veteran.

How did I miss this when it was first posted? GOD IS GOOD! I needed this today.
