A bit rambly but it’s lighthearted fun. Christine talks about the way you can shape Lisp in a general way, and how Lisps sort of lack of a shape allows it to be shaped so well. Not really about macros despite that naturally being a component of this ability, but moreso the philosophical and fundamental design of uniformity that Lisp brings to the table.

If you have ideas for ridiculous science experiments that you’d like me or another youtuber to try, submit them at http://anydesk.com/science . The ideas tha…

Fascinating application of functional analysis to integral calculus. Very curious if this technique can be further generalized.

Edit: On that note, a commenter (@jimskea224) gives insight:

A simplified case of the Risch algorithm for Liouvillian functions.

At least seven through (i.e. mathematical) holes.

Wanna make a character but only have a few ideas? Let’s spin those tiny ideas into fully fleshed out characters, and talk about the process!

Very cute characters and nice world building; shame I’ll never get to see this trio in action. :’)

Where’s the circle? And how does it relate to where e^(-x^2) comes from

Assigned as part of MIT 18.05, spring 2026. I originally learned this integral trick in 18.02, spring 2024; but having it be accompanied by the Herschel-Maxwell derivation is quite helpful!

Medieval gardens grew over 100 different vegetables. Your grocery store carries about 30. And most of those 30 are the same plant bred into different shapes….

This took way longer than I thought, but considering that I didnt even know whether this is possible or not, it’s definitely a big win

Technical Minecraft is awesome.

What would we see when a star collapses? How does a black hole appear? How is the event horizon formed? All these answers in 11 minutes!

Insanely beautiful visualizations.
