I learned yesterday the video I made in 2017 explaining how Bitcoin works was taken down, and my channel received a copyright strike (despite it being 100% my own content). The request seems to have been issued by a company chainpatrol, on behalf of Arbitrum, whose website says

One of my goals this year is to invest in translations for 3blue1brown. I’d like to hire translators directly, preferably ones with experience teaching, and who are willing to help experiment with some software tools which I hope can make the process less tedious. Full job

Found out students are using this website to have an AI generated Lebron James summarise their study material. You cannot make this stuff up. 3blue1bron.com

I've had fun editing together on a very different kind of video from the norm. Keep an eye out this weekend.

I just put up a new video, which was a collaboration with Terence Tao about the cosmic distance ladder. You can find the full video on YouTube, and here's a bit of extra footage that didn't make it into the final.

Part 2 of the collaboration with Terence Tao on the cosmic distance ladder is now out. It covers how we first learned the distances to planets, stars, and galaxies far, far away. youtu.be/hFMaT9oRbs4

I have a pi-day challenge for all the physics students among you (or anyone willing to set up an experiment). If you share your results with me by March 10th, I may feature them in a video, depending on how good the results are and how many I get. Many years ago I made this

The most viewed video I've ever made is a short about two colliding blocks computing π. I just made a new edition of the explanation for why π shows up there, setting things up for a (coming soon) follow-on connecting it to quantum computing. youtu.be/6dTyOl1fmDo

I just put up a new video on the fundamentals of quantum computing, building up to a step-by-step walk-through of something known as Grover’s algorithm. Here's an excerpt of a quiz used to introduce the topic.

In the most recent video about quantum computing, I saw many comments expressing a very similar point of confusion regarding Grover's algorithm. I made a follow-up to (hopefully) clarify some of the issues, which doubles as an excuse to talk a bit more about the central role of

It's always great to see anything new from Steven Strogatz! Here's the first in a new series nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Welp, somewhat embarrassingly, yesterday this account was briefly compromised and someone posing as me promoted a crypto project supposedly "tokenizing" manim. Thank you to those of you who quickly flagged it as spam and alerted me to the problem. For future reference, it's a
