      Yeah, it looked cool, but I kind of hate these talks where math is presented as a kind of beautiful mystery, where the focus is only on the "visuals" and not even an attempt is made to explain what is going on. It presents a very inaccurate picture of what math is about.

        YEs and no I agree. I have seen presentations like this that focus on nature and math in nature, and how math concepts show up in nature where it cannot be "manipulated". For me, this is kind of the same talk. 🙂

          One of the world’s most famous classical concert pianists plays one of the world’s most famous piano repertoire by one of the world’s most famous composers on one of the world’s most famous acoustic piano. What’s not to like?

          Lame or cool? You be the judge.

            I wish there were cool animations like it when I was learning complex numbers.

              I believe this one was sponsored/commissioned by a food company, but a very good, very funny video nonetheless:

                    What accent is that? And why are they speaking English?

                      Think people of Chinese descent in former British colonies like Singapore/Malaysia; this explains the English speaking. Most likely they grew up in Cantonese speaking communities that also influenced their accent.

                          Good stuff, Ax. Have you watched Yellowstone? Some of Costner's best work to date. The show is entertaining, not a masterpiece, put some of the acting is quite good.

                                  Vietnamese martial arts period action movie.
                                  In terms of martial arts choreography and wire act, it’s a lot like watching Hong Kong kungfu serial from 30~40 years ago.
                                  But this was shot in hi-def and the sceneries and cinematography are gorgeous!

                                          Review of Banerjee, Duflo, and Kramer’s 2019 Nobel-winning work on the study of poverty:

                                          Not sure if there is an English version of such a succinct, high quality review. Please share if you find one. Otherwise I suppose you’d have to rely on English closed caption (it’s an option that you can turn on in YouTube).
