i liked the essence of the talk. the problem was mostly in diction and storytelling, plus the intro was superfluous. there was a throughline, it just wasn't honed and communicated very well, so it felt muddied.
>tools reduce to applied mathematics
>demo of a generic problem that sends you down a long rabbithole, delving through increasingly advanced topics to even begin to understand and solve
>turns out with sufficient education you'd have recognized how it maps to a known math concept with existing fixes, that you pointlessly tried to reinvent (if you even got that far)
>wowza moment: that same generic demo and its math apply to many fields, you don't know how useful a tool is until you run into problems it applies to
