When you said absolute heros I felt it. Dr. Dennis M. Ritchie is my hero too.

I love the little tidbits you add, like Amdahl's law. I hadn't heard of Amdahl's law before so I appreciate you introducing it to me. I'm a software engineer and although I have no plans to pursue research or formal computer science, I enjoyed hearing from someone highly qualified on the matter.

Thanks so much for the amazing video and answering my question with such articulate detail, enjoyed a nice chocolate bar while watching it.

Chocolate Bar! :)
Thank you so much for making this video. I love the explanation.

i would like to know the difference between doing a bachelor degree in computer science vs computer engineering vs AI. i’m currently an A level student and am confused as to what degree i need to take up in the future. my current subjects are maths, computer science, physics and english literature. All of these field overlap so much that it’s confusing

Watching while eating a chocolate bar!

Loved the video! It is as great as a chocolate bar!

I've heard that Knuth's secret was consuming a chocolate bar after each of his meals. Gotta keep the glucose high if you want the mind sharp

I had watched you for the first time on your interview with Thomas Cormen. This is the second time and it is very informative. I want to do science but I am neither good at computer science nor good at writing. I think finding job is easier as a mediocre programmer than being a mediocre scientist.

Great, only one thing though. We all know that experimental science is usually attributed to Galileo but it in fact started very long before him. See work of Alhazen ibn al haytem on optics.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO 🎉

From this video, I've come to understand that a computer scientist is someone who makes significant contributions to the field of computing. This involves developing innovative techniques, conducting research, and finding new ways to solve complex problems.

Since my school days, I have been curious about what exactly defines a computer scientist. However, I have a lingering question: Is a computer scientist simply someone who works with computers?

I wonder if a person who learns about computer patterns and applies or connects these patterns to real-world situations can also be considered a computer scientist. For instance, in the book "Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions" by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths, the authors explain how computer algorithms can be applied to everyday life in a remarkably interdisciplinary manner.

My question boils down to this: Is a computer scientist solely someone who works directly with computers, or can it also be someone who uses computing algorithms to understand and explain real-life patterns and problems? It seems to me that life itself often follows an algorithmic flow, and understanding this could be part of what it means to be a computer scientist.

In summary, can a person who applies algorithmic and logical patterns from computing to human life and other real-world contexts also be considered a computer scientist?

THANKS YOU SIR..
PLEASE ANSWER..

Instead of the chocolate bar, I am Bilal, a computer science junior student at Bilkent University, Turkey. I found this video insightful, like the other videos, especially the one with generative AI QA. MainlyYour analogy of your grandfather's calculation capabilities and how it would be considered today gives a really good insight into what generative AI would become.
My question is that you said that all lectures from Cambridge University regarding your cybersecurity course is uploaded. However, I could only find the playlist you generated, which is about a total of 8 hours. Is not it longer than that for a whole semester? Is there a more comprehensive list that is not listed on youtube profile of yours?
Thanks
Bilal

Hello Dr. Stajano, I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and I'm 36 year old man. Is it too late for me to become a computer scientist? Are there professor in the US where I can be under them?

Mars, is by far my favorite " chocolate bar".

I am a big fan of your videos and wish to study computer science at Cambridge, but I'm unsure whether I want to take a gap year before or not. Is it possible to defer an offer after become accepted at Cambridge?

I have been searching this for a long time, How to become a computer scientist from scratch, how long it would take? I really want to work with the police force at it department or as in digital policing to investigate internet crime, any advice would be appreciated

Your videos are more tastier than a "Chocolate Bar"
