I just spent two whole days refactoring and improving my jjlab.net website.
One thing I had to think very carefully about for my modeling was the class/instance distinction for various things, you can see my notes below.
So channels have shows, and shows have features.
A series has segments, and segments have a video.
A series is an instance of a show, and a segment is an instance of a feature.
Everything is easy when you know how!
Over here one of my viewers asked “Why is the audio speed so weird?” The answer is that I was speeding up the video in an attempt to make the content more “lively” and so viewers could get through 6 minutes worth of content in only 4 minutes. However I have come to understand that others don’t think this is a good idea, so I have canceled the various videos I had queued for release, and I will remake them without the speed ups. I won’t be redoing any of the videos I have already released though, so that history will stand. :)
I swear, ChatGPT knows everything. Today it told me I could run the following in the developer tools console to speed up YouTube video playback beyond the “maximum” of 2x up to 3x (or more!).
document.querySelector("video").playbackRate = 3.0;
Some fun math videos:
And some fun math articles:
I got a bunch of stuff:
I’ve been working my way through Tensors for Beginners. I made it to lecture 8.
Mystery solved! Putting a ship into a bottle.
An awesome video about The RS-232 protocol by Ben Eater. There’s some cool stuff on his channel.
This is pretty awesome: Computer Science courses with video lectures.
Catching up on my Kevlin Henney:
Some reading for later:
