- numlock86 7y agoNumberphile is great, but Computerphile to me feels like a kinda lame rip-off with computer related topics really. It's mostly about the depth and presentation I think. Compared to Numberphile their videos are (at least for me) sort of superficial. The original problem most likely lies in topics being much more complex: It's easier to show and explain an OEIS or describe an interesting conjecture with a hand full formulas and proofs than to explain the entire concept behind e.g. machine learning or computer graphics in a ~15 minute video. Example: There was a video about dithering not so long ago which basically boils down to "Well, if 2 of 2 pixels are black you perceive it as black, and if there is 0 of 2 black, it's white, and in between it's gray ..." The actual methods used (e.g. Floyd, Stucki etc.) and how they work? Not really.
