https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnsBasement is another pretty great retro computer building channel. His recent series on building a Z80 computer is pretty enjoyable. A little dry, but he does a great job walking through his process and helping you understand things.

never saw this guy mentioned yet but look mum no computer is a great channel for audio tinkering. he’s a huge goof and doesn’t get TOO technical, in his latest series he rescued an old church organ and hooked it up to a midi controller. great for kids too (my 9yr old loves him) https://youtu.be/gVGr3J_LZaE

rotor posted:he built himself a huge new shop with kickass giant cranes and a big fuckin lathe and cnc poo poo that he must have gotten basically for free and all the content now is super boring cause who the gently caress wants to watch a guy teach himself cnc programming? AvE also got a giant cnc and was going the same way into irrelevant "look what i can do with my $80,000 machine" territory even before he showed his whole rear end with the canadian trucker protests. but i knew he was a turd from the beginning when he was selling those rulers graduated in c**t hairs.

He got that thing right before i unsubscribed from him, but i remember that he pitched it on his channel as a "community project" to try and justify the purchase with his patreon bucks. then he bought a bunch of rural land and had videos where he was helping "a friend" with their farm, but it was very clearly a lie to obfuscate what he was spending patreon money on lol `Nemesis fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Nov 1, 2022 |

Destin has new video about the irrigation pivots, the things responsible for those green circles you see from the air: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j1lMs7fcIQ Pretty cool. I like how mechanical the control of each section is. I'd probably come up with some overcomplicated monstrosity that measured the wheel rotations and adjusted for the distance from the pivot etc.

those things are so cool. my lizard brain loves it when a structure is so big i can't even really conceptualize how big it is anymore. I had no idea those things were so loving tall and i've driven by probably thousands of them on roadtrips

yea this stuff rocks. when i was a teenager. my high school auto teacher taught us about it and helped us rebuild a small block chevy motor into a over square stroke ratio. for the price of a crankshaft and cam. we basically had the cheapest and meanest little rat rod pickup truck any teenager should ever have access to.

Haven't watched EEVblog in a while. Other than the voice the only objectionable thing about his video is the occasional casual racism which is definitely problematic, though I don't think it's like a nazi thing as much as like australian boomer thing. I used to like his repair and dumpster diving videos, there aren't many of those since covid it seems, but there's a pretty fun one where his solar analytics module blew up in a pretty spectacular fashion. Unfortunately he doesn't try to repair it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECvJu_BKwtQ Jim Silly-Balls posted:In the video they specifically state that the crops grow without the irrigators, but running the irrigators significantly increases their yields per acre, to the point that the irrigator pays itself off in a few years echinopsis posted:honestly those videos of 3blue1brown are a masterclass on communicating and teaching, and a powerhouse combo of being able to give intuitive explanations of things while creating highly intuitive diagrams and animations  I've never done more than intro level college math so his videos have been extremely helpful whenever I had to look into a concept I wasn't familiar with, which is a lot of concepts.

echinopsis posted:honestly those videos of 3blue1brown are a masterclass on communicating and teaching, and a powerhouse combo of being able to give intuitive explanations of things while creating highly intuitive diagrams and animations He is a very good mathematics educator. The thing I sometimes wonder about is what the limitations are of his approach. He usually stays in an applied mathematics kind of area where it's possible to build reasonably compelling visualizations, and he likes doing detailed videos about interesting results and topics where there's a lot of rewarding detail to go into. But there are huge areas of mathematics which are much more abstract and difficult to bring to life in that way. Number theory, for example. Anyway he's also cool (timestamped link): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHXO86wKeDY&t=2818s 69^2 = 4761, 69^3 = 328509
