Wanted to look for this a while back. Thank you for sharing the link.

This is cool. I immediately clicked because I thought of this awesome video from a couple years ago, Animation vs Math:

I like math but showing someone a giant graph isn’t always the best approach. :)

Agreed. 3Blue1Brown has, by making their videos, publishing Manim, and critically by fostering a broader community of math YouTubers instead of trying to hoard the audience for themselves (through SoME), moved mathematics pedagogy forward immensely. (Sal Khan also deserves credit here.) He's created a genre that makes math feel like an exciting and approachable journey, rather than a process of memorization and symbol manipulation.

I have been using this with cursor to make videos to explain papers and math concepts to myself.

Some of the results are not perfect (AI sometimes misaligns some shapes), but it's quite helpful and with a couple of iterations you get to a really good explainer video.

This gets submitted quite regularly to HN with many good discussions- so instead of posting the discussions I'll just link the search.
