Glad you liked it!

I wish HN had a feature to follow or anotate users. Not the first time I meet someone interesting I know from another space here on HN. However, without such feature, I shall forget the username.

I figured since for Reddit this functionality is provided by RES, for HN it should be HNES so I searched "hacker news enhancement suite" and found this [1] which does list "Ability to tag users" among its features.

You can use Hacker News RSS [0] and subscribe to a user's feed [1] via https://hnrss.org/user?id=USERNAME

Create a bookmark category for HN users you want to follow, and bookmark their comment pages.

Just taking a second to appreciate you and your work. I have one of the first ever Theme System Journals. While I've grown older and now no longer watch your videos as religiously as before, I do still follow along Cortex.

I was a patron for Hello Internet. Though I doubt it will, I hope you guys can one day bring it back. So many fond memories :)

Thank you for your hard work and almost-always insightful remarks!

What happened to HI though? They seemingly stopped doing it without any reason and I really liked it. Thankfully Cortex is a lot like HI and I enjoy it a lot.

This question is raised every time Grey or Brady pop up anywhere. Although it's understandable (Hello Internet was great!), I've become a lot more sympathetic after watching a Patrick Rothfuss video about how it dehumanizing it feels to constantly be asked nothing besides when Famous Thing is coming back:

Are you really CGP Grey? If so, thank you for your high quality videos! (Science) educators like you make YouTube and the internet a better place :)

(Ooh, I had a quick question if you don't mind - how did you get into animating the videos in the beginning? I'm also hoping to make sciencey/educational/technical videos on YouTube but I don't have any animation/software experience. Right now I'm just planning to draw static images/diagrams on my iPad and use that for the video, like a slideshow.)

Yes it's really me -- I don't often comment on hacker news, but it was just funny to come across my own video here.

He goes into it in an older comment in his history: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Orthanc

That video kinda lost the thread of what it was supposed to be about, it went from a cool video about paper (which admittedly is no easy task) to a generic “things are small but also things are big”

I dont think the video is really about the paper, it's just a hook.

Cool animation, as almost always by CGP Grey. Reminds me of the book "Powers of Ten" by Philip and Phylis Morrison, published in 1982 ("Scientific American Books")

Powers of Ten was also a 1977 short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0

(Duplicating my own comment from a few months ago.)

In the Director's Commentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lyN6Qg8VQ4 ) CGP Grey said that it was directly inspired by the video version of "Powers of Ten".

That went a very different direction than I expected. Thanks for sharing :)
