It's been a while, but I'm back with a new video! We explore A* search and how your map applications use it to find optimal paths between locations efficiently. youtu.be/88I6IidylGc

New video covering results of the summer of math exposition, where I highlight four criteria for what I think makes a math video (or article) great. youtu.be/cDofhN-RJqg

It's here! A pretty extensive and thorough look at GIF encoding, and some tangent topics that lurk around it. Particularly about my experience at GSoC with @p5xjs 🌸 This guide aims to cover all the things that I did not find easily on the web. 🥰💖 jesirgb.com/blog/gif-encodin…

!!!! Ok I recorded a (new!) 2h25m lecture on "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd" youtube.com/watch?v=VMj-3S1t… . This is the culmination of about 8 years of obsessing about the best way to explain neural nets and backprop.

Finally finished a video I've been working on for ages! It's about the fundamentals of neural networks, and covers coding one from scratch (in C#), and teaching it to recognize various doodles.

New video! The Mandelbrot Set is the most iconic picture in all of math. Yet, there’s always something new about it that makes me scratch my head for hours. In this video, I go over an unexpected appearance of pi when playing around with the edges! youtu.be/3tz_2syhWAE

A super cool milestone hit yesterday! Interesting stat on subscriber growth. It took me roughly the same amount of time (11 months) to go from 0 -> 1000 subs as it took to go from 100,000 -> 200,000 subs.

But I've slowly started implementing long-term workflows that may help get me there. Many of you may have noticed the videos have changed a bit in style over the past ~4 videos and a lot of that has been with the help of @jesi_rgb who has been helping me on the videos!

@jesi_rgb has really helped take the videos to the next level and he deserves an immense amount of credit for this milestone!

New video! A look into the notorious Traveling Salesman Problem, why it's so hard, and the beautiful approaches to finding "good enough" solutions. youtu.be/GiDsjIBOVoA

Get excited, the Summer of Math Exposition #2 is on! summerofmathexposition.subst… As part of it, we've set up a space to help coordinate collaborations between domain experts (profs, teachers, etc) and content creators (animators, developers, artists, etc). (Short 🧵 on details)

Might be one of my new favorites from you Grant. I smelled some "Fourier-like" funny business right before you mentioned it. Beautiful problem!

New puzzle video coming out in a few days. The solution to this one has multiple fun twists and turns, which I think you'll enjoy.
