"Yours to Discover" by internetVin

My little talk at Toronto Tech Week 2025.

This was a new format and setting for me, I was pretty nervous about it, but I thought I would just try it out and see what I would learn.

Thank you for everything so far.

[internetVin @internetvin]

@Aurexnadir Interesting, I had to look this joint up, seems like there's a lot of places like this around that I have never heard of or been to

[internetVin @internetvin]

the more I think about all this Toronto stuff, the more it feels like we should just create our own city

[internetVin @internetvin]

I still have so much to learn

[internetVin @internetvin]

you have to figure out what the thing you really want costs, and then you have to be willing to pay for it

[internetVin @internetvin]

@RobbiePasquale lmao

[internetVin @internetvin]

@sha256n I don't want to do that

[internetVin @internetvin]

still struggling with this .. based on everything that's available, making less than $1m a year is unacceptable

[internetVin @internetvin]

I didn't want it to be like this, but I'm finding it hard to hang out with anyone that makes less than ten grand a day.

@yacineMTB come on man

@internetvin 3 pairs of jorts later

@RobbiePasquale Moving away from Robbie Pasquale is crazy

@LostMemeArchive Holy fuck

On August 1, 2004, Daigo Umehara had one pixel of health left against Justin Wong in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

He parried all 15 hits of Chun-Li’s super and won the round.

The crowd reaction became one of esports’ most replayed clips.

“Zonal architectures are actually for consolidation. Previously there were dozens of different “computers” in cars.

Ex. If you have electric seats there’s a dedicated module that controls that. Another one for windows, another for lights, locks, heated seats, HVAC,,,, every single feature of a car was almost an individual and distinct module.

each one has a large connector, each one a sheet metal or plastic enclosure,,, and each one made by a different company that can’t really be controlled or updated and works as a black box where the car maker can’t actually change the behavior in anyway or write the software for it.

The “zonal” thing is about consolidating these dozens of modules into 1-3 larger modules that do more on the car, and yes its a space saving, simplifying step for assembly, but the biggest thing is the sort of “vertical integration” that happens where the ownership of the modules becomes vertical, and the car maker can actually change the behavior of the vehicle, write their own software, and push updates that can change the behavior or the WHOLE

Before if for example your Toyota got an over the air update it was only the media player or navigation unit that they were actually updating. If they needed to update maybe the body controller, or the engine control it would need to come in, get plugged into a dedicated computer and updated that way.

My bad.”

[The Other Stuff @OtherStuffShow]

Reece Martin (@RM_Transit) is a writer, systems thinker, and investigator who spent a decade documenting public transit systems around the world, building one of the deepest bodies of work anywhere on how cities move.

We quickly learn that his YouTube channel was never really about transit. It was an investigation into how society works, told through the infrastructure everyone uses and almost no one stops to look at. Transportation lines become a table of contents for places themselves. We trace how Reece learned to see this way, from riding the New York subway alone at the age of 12, to wandering Tokyo at 2AM as a teenager, to the Urban Toronto forums and the foamers who film city buses for fun, to reading whole cities in Google Maps with the labels off.

Reece explains why he decided to close the channel. Part of it is discipline: it’s a chapter, and it needs to end to be a cohesive whole. The rest is harder. After ten years of seeing what a subway can be, the daily ride home wears on him, and the change he believes in is decades away, so he’d rather give his time to problems where the feedback comes faster. From there the conversation opens up into EVs, autonomy, Waymo, AI, and the quiet awe of building things bigger than human scale, the kind of infrastructure that touches millions of lives long after the people who made it are gone. The same instinct, pointed at a new set of systems.

This is a conversation about what infrastructure quietly reveals about society, how you can use any subject as a lens to understand everything else, when to walk away from something you love, and why caring about a thing might be the highest-leverage move you can make.

The Other Stuff is hosted by @internetvin, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.
