I am a simple man. I see a video post by karpathy, I upvote and watch.

I discovered Andrej very recently and I am a huge fan. Kudos to this whole effort!

Two ideas --

1. While these explainers are outstanding -- I can think of supplementary material/presentation that can nicely complement these explanations if they are presented visually. Especially the concepts of multidimensional tensors.

Something like what 3B1B (or his followers that create 'Summer of Math Exposition' videos) does -- which is not a skill I have.

I am thinking of creating some visual slides (my forte) but would there be interest in making this a larger collaboration that creates explainers for "visual learners"?

2. There should really be a discussion forum for people who follow along these "make more" tutorials -- to have discussions about each specific video, infact each specific timestamped chapter of these videos in that context.

Is there a framework or tool that lets us integrate YouTube videos and timestamped chapters into a "discussion forum" -- whether a simple website or a discord/slack. Once again this is slightly outside my skillset but if it appeals to people, maybe some ideas and effort can come together to make this happen?

EDIT: #facepalm -- I see there is already a discord [0] on the webpage [1] (but not likely tied to very specific chapters as I imagined -- but should be a excellent start anyway)

In case you're not aware, 3B1B has a Github repo for the engine he uses for the math animations so that others can use it to make similar things: https://github.com/3b1b/manim

There's also a loose group of people already doing the visual learners "explainers" thing over here: https://explorabl.es/ (you can scroll down for links to tools they use to make their explainers).

But yes, I also feel this is an important development and that this should be an ongoing way of teaching people things. Formal education has IMO stalled out around the printing press but there are massive opportunities on computers (and especially on globally networked computers) to take that a step further and leverage the capabilities of computers to make education even more engaging and information-dense.
