There are so many good things in this video! The concept of ‘Platonic horror’ is going to be a useful one, I feel:
> I think that what really titillates me is when the problem is beautiful, but the solution is upsetting. I call this a Platonic horror.

Every year I eagerly await tom7's video for SIGBOVIK. He is such a brilliant and funny person, and everything he shares is such a treat. I love his work and his play, and I think most folks on HN will too.

Every year Tom7 gives us another enigma, and this year it's a real enigma of an enigma.

tom7 is the embodiment of masculine ideals. He's got the brain. He's got the muscles. He's got the GPU. He's starred into the abyss and abyss blinked first. What more could a potential mate want?

He's a polymath's polymath. A true renaissance man in the best possible meaning of the word.

Highly recommended channel. Tom makes obscure and/or provably useless topics approachable and entertaining.
